I was not sure how I was going to write my column for Monday. It was looking ugly for a while, but with a pair of 3-run HRs by AJ Pollock and Mookie Betts, the Dodgers turned a potential disaster into a win. Typical Dodger win with the long ball. In the three game series, the Dodgers scored 17 runs, 14 of them directly from seven HRs.
I know that it is only 16 games into the season (or is it 43). Regardless the season is more than 25% expired. The team is 11-5 and has not exactly been as consistently dominating as may have been predicted.
