Not everyone feels this way -- many people feel resolutely the opposite -- but in the "my team's out of it, who cares" sense, I enjoy the Dodgers. (On the field. The visit to the White House...don't get me started.) It's always a good story and it's always a different story...usually.
This year, it feels off. Ohtani, whom I usually love watching because he's...him, looks not just hurt but ill. Some of their "not so fast" vibe is the same, but they mostly feel like they're trying to get the band back together and they don't know that you can't.
Not to get philosophical about a pretty straightforward situation -- aging juggernaut faces faster, hungrier team -- and you never know. But: you maybe know, this year.
Okay: points.
Betts 1
Tucker 2
all other Dodgers 0
Bauers 1
Chourio 0
Contreras 6
Mitchell 0
Turang 3
Yelich 2
Ugly night for a lot of slates...but gorgeous shuffling action for a lot of others, and here's the money after the first game:
50 Yuhan 2 and O'Reilly
46 Bauer 2
43 Wonsetler Head
42 Reid Dumb
41 Stempelson and MArbour 2
Fair number of points in the ALCS opener already in progress, so I'll save full standings for that update. Hold onto your butts!
