To me, that applies to a whole lot more than baseball. Lot’s of people could apply this in their everyday lives… but I digress. Last year’s season was a sprint in 60 games and the Dodgers broke out of the gate and never looked back and at the end of 60 games they had 8 more wins than this team. Of course, they had about 25% of the injuries this team has experienced. Also, there is that dreaded “World Series Hangover.”
In this case, it is real. For the last eight years the Dodgers have finished at the top of the pack and should have won two (not just one) World Series, so they were really primed last year.
