The Dodgers are 4-7. Obviously it’s early but every team in the NL West besides the Diamondbacks have a negative RD. The VB have a -15 RD.

Or have an almost equally horsefeathers start. Whatever. Well, I thought injury when I saw he only went 1 so this is actually progress.

4 weeks of SEC play and India is at .429/.547/886 with 12 HRs and a 25 BBs to 22 Ks, and a perfect 4 for 4 in SBs for good measure. He's not going to make it to 62 as I once hoped. Yeah, he’s played his way up to 24 at this point.

Nice. 4:3 GO/FO as well, and only used 65 pitches. 34 minutes after ScrubMD’s original post. Remarkable restraint.
