The problem certainly isn’t pitching with the Dodgers right now. The starters are doing everything that they can to keep pace with teams and have thrown the ball very well. The bullpen keeps getting put into games attempting to keep games close as they chase opponents.
But it’s the offense that has been a real issue early on. The Dodgers tallied just 4 hits in 29 at-bats on Friday night against the Padres, and in the process broke a really bad history record. Not the news that any of us were hoping for out of the best team in baseball.
