Look, it’s tough to be the guy that nitpicks after a 10-run victory on the road, but I’m about to be that guy. 2021 has been an interesting season for the Dodgers. Interesting in that it really hasn’t been what you would have expected heading into the year. LA had a roster flush with star power and talent. On opening day alone, the 26-man roster had three league MVPs, three former Cy Young award winners, and several multi-time MLB All-Stars.
Yet, here in the middle of August, the Dodgers have committed an unsightly 68 errors on defense and allowed 60 unearned runs, tops in baseball.
