Should you be worried by the Dodgers poor start?
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY SportsStop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Dodgers are off to a bad start in 2017. The season is just 20 games old, so it would be insane to make some premature proclamation writing off the season. But suffice it to say, the Dodgers have a hole they need to dig out of.
The Dodgers are just 9-11, and in third place in the National League West, a full five games behind the Rockies already.
Overcoming deficits is nothing new in baseball. We can look back to last year, when the Dodgers trailed the Giants by eight games when Clayton Kershaw hurt his back, an injury that sidelined him for 10 weeks.
