Series Thread: Texas Rangers @ Los Angeles Dodgers

[lasportzphan]

Interesting tidbits....
#Dodgers 1st 28 games -- .262 BA, 1.5 HRs per game, 5.1 runs Past 36 -- .254 BA, 1 HR per game, 3.78 runs 2 R or less 16 of past 29 games

ords keep shifting but #Dodgers have only played 3 teams who currently have winning records (SF, StL, Tex) -- 4-14 vs 1-10 on road vs

We need Captain Obvious to spin this for us. Starting to worry again...

Yup, lame stat.

Team looks good, really good. Agon is a man on fire!

Dodgers suck, why can't they go 162-0? :rollseyes:

Does not ignore the fact that the team has been pretty shitty in June after a so-so May.

Teams go through slumps, it happens. Still in 1st place.

Positive spin:

The rest of the NL West is playing worse than the Dodgers.

 

[LASports96]

Balk Off! I'll take it.

It's funny when the team plays poorly for extended periods of time, we cannot talk about it or comment on it - we just say "it's early." But when the team plays well, we can speak to it at great length.

That's the thing about baseball, nothing is set in stone. I haven't seen anyone guarantee a Championship or even a Division Title, I have however seen some people guarantee that the Dodgers won't make the playoffs.

I never guaranteed that.... I just do not think they will.

Well.... Looking like a half game back after this loss.

As promised, I said I would reserve judgement on this team until late May/early June. Without further ado... this team will not make the playoffs.

 

[lasportzphan]

Opinion. How would I know?

 

[LASports96]

You think this team is missing the playoffs?

Imo, the Dodgers will make the playoffs. If not as the Division champs, then as a wild card.

They are beating the teams they are supposed to beat. Problem is, they aren't doing well against teams with winning records and they haven't been able to their Cardinals problem. If they don't get those 2 things figured out, their playoff run will end short of the World Series.
