Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly rips Yankees, says World Series was 'complete mismatch'

LeSean McCoy reacts to the New York Yankees' collapse in Game 5 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Late last month, the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated the franchise's eighth World Series title.

A 7-6 win in Game 5 of the series eliminated the American League champion New York Yankees. The Dodgers won an instant classic Game 1, with Freddie Freeman hitting a walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning.

Los Angeles won the next two games and was on the cusp of clinching the championship. 

The Yankees managed to win Game 4, but some fifth-inning blunders in Game 5 proved to be more than New York could overcome. California native and Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly has not shied away from offering his unfiltered takes on why the Dodgers knocked off the Yankees.

During the latest edition of the "Baseball Isn't Boring" podcast, Kelly piled on the Yankees by suggesting they should have been a lower seed in the playoffs.

"We had seen it every single game. Just let them throw the ball to the infield. They can’t make a play," Kelly said. "It was a mismatch from the get-go. If we had a playoff re-ranking, they might be ranked the eighth- or ninth-best playoff team.

"You’re putting the Padres ahead of them. You’re putting the Phillies ahead of them. You’re putting the Mets ahead of them. You’re putting the Braves ahead of them, and the Braves just got unlucky because they had to play that doubleheader."
