Baseball is a weird game.
How is it possible for an entire offense -- sometimes as many as 8 to 10 players -- to get hot and all start crushing the ball on the same day?
Perhaps a case study can be done on the Los Angeles Dodgers, who despite adding only Josh Reddick since their early-season offensive struggles, are suddenly tearing the cover off the ball. On Monday, they obliterated the Reds 18-9 in Cincinnati, pounding out 21 hits and slugging 7 home runs in the contest.
The Dodgers hit back-to-back home runs three separate times in the game.
