Having watched every game I wouldn’t even say the dodgers are playing well. It’s been pretty “meh” outside of the starting pitching which has been excellent and the early hot streak by pages (who has come back to earth)

I can’t tell if having slightly better defense but equal offense to the Angels is reassuring or deeply upsetting to me.

You know something gives me the feeling the Astros could be *really realllly* good if only they improved one thing. Can’t put my finger on it though

Bottom left is always where you want to be on these graphs, right? Reverse scale or something, right?! Regression to the mean coming soon, right?!?!
