"It's fine," everyone said, "the bats just need to get going."
On Wednesday night, Alex Wood gave up seven runs to the lowly A's and then the bullpen gave up nine more. Then last night Kenta Maeda gave up five to the D'Backs and when the offense mounted a comeback the bullpen gave up three more. So, yes, the bats got us 13 runs in the last two games, but the pitching gave up 24 runs.
So could it be possible, just maybe, that the Dodgers are actually bad? That last season represented some sort of bizarre confluence of statistical events combined with injuries to other teams? That the Dodgers, far from awaiting their turn at the top this season actually peaked?
It's not only possible, but at this point, it's probable.
PLOT TWIST: The Dodgers are bad!
