Just how good were the Dodgers in 2022? Well, of course, they were bounced in the first round of the playoffs, so that is all many of us remember. However, a lot went wrong throughout the year. Consider this:
- How many teams could win 111 games and have their ACE pitch in just 11 games before losing him for the season?
- How many teams could survive having their closer implode and have their backup closer miss almost the entire season, and then the backup, backup closer blow out his knee and still win 111 games?
- How many teams could have their Centerfielder and Thirdbaseman (who were generally counted on to be 30+ HR hitters, hit below the Mendoza line most of the year?
