I do wonder if the bullpen collapsing as pretty much a direct result of the tax threshold reset will piss off the fans of the Dodgers. With how winnable the NL was this year, to be holding back like this I think could really piss off fans. Especially since every other part of the team is so good.

If Axford keeps throwing 98 with command, this whole discussion is moot.

Also worth noting Dodgers early season ****show is as much to blame for their current position as anything.

Every team has injuries. If the Dbacks had had a decent May, they'd be 8 games up.

Giants lost Cueto, Samardzija and Belt. So their 2nd and 3rd best pitchers and best hitter. Every team has injuries.
