Only Arizona (12-10) has a winning record against teams over .500 âI'm think the Dodgers are having a collapse but the division's weakness is masking it.
Odd standings so far this season - the Blue Jays (2 games over .500) are in last place in their division - with the same record as the Twins who are in first place in their division.
Giants are still under .500 and are in 3rd place in the division (only 6 games back). Wow.

Left haded pitcher had the better chance at fielding that ball. Catcher blew it (in my opinion).
And throwing to first. And the pitcher got to the ball. But everyone's got such tunnel vision at that point. Perfect into the eighth!
This 2022 article lists 58 games that were perfect after 6, all coming since the last perfect game, Felix Hernandez, 2012. Many of them were WAY more heartbreaking too.
So I'm watching the Cubs-Dodgers game with the sound off; I tuned in when it was 5-0 Cubs. 7 runs in the 5th, 1 in the 6th, it was 13-0 when I realized Drew Smyly had a perfect game. As soon as I thought it, he lost it.
That's too bad. What an odd way for it to end. The catcher probably felt terrible about it.

Oh I agree with you 100%. Dalbec never played SS his entire career. Iâm just saying got to be over 78 wins. Anything other than last place.
Got to get rid of Bloom and the no brain ownership.
I think I read that he'd played shortstop for a bit in high school. Which is pretty much saying the same thing as you wrote.
I don't quite understand what Bloom and the ownership are doing. I think they're trying to have a largely home-grown team so they're waiting for their minor league stars to develop in the next few seasons. Someone should remind them that Boston fans don't pay for mediocrity. They also have the Bruins and Celtics to follow (and maybe the Pats if Belichick wakes up/drafts well).

Gene, this team's gonna fall apart like a cheap suit. Bobby Dalbec at shortstop? Granted it's still early days but there are just too many questions about iffy players.
We'll see. It'g gonna take a lot for me to get excited about the Sox in '23.

Tampa Bay Rays are 11 - 0. A perfect 1.0. Longest season opening win streak was between '82 Braves and '87 Brewers at 13.
It will end someday but for now...
(currently 8 9-3 over Boston in the 7th inning of game 13) Outscoring opponents 100 101-30 right now. +65 +71 run differential is the highest in history. This team is ridiculous!

I was going to say that it might keep going, facing the last place Red Sox, but it's early season and Boston's going to play like it's a playoff game to avoid being *that* team.
I'll be in Southern California when the Rays are playing the Padres... I was hoping to play it by ear and see an Angels game that Shohei is pitching, but failing that, might have to venture down to San Diego...
