Swanson: Dodgers can forget about a three-peat if they can't fix their RISP problem

Imagine a nurse asking the Dodgers: “Any allergies?” And the Dodgers responding: “Oh, just RISP.” “Just RISP?” the nurse would ask, concerned. “Just hitting with runners in scoring position? Fellas, that’s serious. That could be season-ending.” “Oh, it’s OK,” the Dodgers would say, “because we can always slug to counteract it. And we have incredible starting pitching, so we can get away with it.” That would not make the nurse — or any Dodgers fan sweating out this postseason — feel better.
