Snell 5 runs 4.2 innings pitched, 11.57 ERA in 3 games. 

Sandoval's 4.67 ERA doesn't look so bad right now after 4 starts. 

Even less so considering his FIP is under 3.00.

Yep, Snell looks awful so far. Here's his StatCast profile:

The other guy people were clamoring to sign isn't doing much better. Bellinger is sporting a 216/.306//378 batting line.

I'm not the least bit surprised.

Think most of us on the board thought those two guys screamed regression, at least for this year. But who knows, maybe they turn it around

It's early, but in Bellinger's case -- there was a lot of noise screaming fluke.  It's funny because all the predictive stuff he was awful at last year he's improved on this season.  Still below average but better than last year, alas the BaBip gods giveth and taketh away the hits.

Mookie Betts is hitting .356/.473/.644/1.117 and right behind him is Shohei Ohtani hitting .359/.419/.630/1.049

 

The dodgers have lost 7 of their last 9 and are 12-11 so far to start the year.

Snell needs to step it up if he wants to match Sandoval’s 6.75 ERA after 5 starts.

The dodgers are barely over a .500 team.

They're wasting Ohtani's prime.

Wish the Angels could’ve been a barely above .500 team with him

The White Sox are now 3-19, with a -78 run differential. They've only scored 45 runs so far. It's hard to be that bad.

It really is nuts how they went from being viewed as a "team of the future" to a team with no future at all -- they were a division winner and playoff team in 2021..  I can't recall seeing anything like it.

Well, you have to remember Gio Urshela went on the IL and you know how important he is.

Considering they lost the modern day Jackie Robinson, makes sense

Damn if this was April 2017, plan the Texas parade in October.  Scherzer, deGrom, and Cueto in the same rotation at some point this year
