Why They Play the Games

I thought the Dodgers were supposed to be the juggernaut of all baseball, what with Mookie Betts and Trevor Bauer anchoring a star-studded roster and all. However does so much talent find itself 4-1/2 games behind the Giants in the NL West? And however did the likes of Betts, Cody Bellinger and Albert Pujols get no-hit 4-0 last night by the Cubs’ Zach Davies and three relievers? Didn’t these guys read what MLB.com said about them all through the preseason? C’mon, guys, we wouldn’t want you to go down as the 60-game wonders of 2020, now would we? Well, maybe a little. No, make that a lot.
