You ask 100 fans that question, you might get 100 different answers. One thing is for certain, bad defense is going to cost you games. It cost the Dodgers a game only yesterday. Max Muncy blew what should have been an easy double-play grounder, and the Giants won, 2-1. As of today, the Dodgers are the 10th best fielding team in the majors. 6 playoff teams are ahead of them. The Diamondbacks have the highest fielding percentage and the fewest errors with only 55. The Dodgers have made 75. The Rangers are right there with the D-Backs with only 58 errors.
