Is this the team we know? Is this the team that lost 11 straight and caused worry in even some of the most devout fans? Is this the team that lost Game 7 of the World Series?
Let’s think about it for a second. This season, the Dodgers are 3-6. Only four players have hit home runs, yet none of them have hit two. One player has been hit by a pitch, and that player is not Chase Utley. Kenley Jansen has a 9.00 ERA over four innings pitched, which is surprising.
