Some first week observations: It is obvious that the Dodgers offense misses JT; the one clutch hitter in the lineup. The only offense thus far is Yasmani Grandal. Without any concrete evidence, it is my opinion that the Owings HR off of Jansen with two outs in the 9th on the Monday game against the DBacks had a negative impact on the Tuesday and Wednesday games.
- The Dodgers have been shut out in three of the seven games, and scored one run in a fourth.
- Right or wrong this is a team that is built on power, and the offense can count THREE HR’s for the season.
