At Break, Dodger Fans Looking for Someone to Give Them a Break

At the start of this season, I made an assessment that the Dodgers, on a position-by-position comparison, would be competitive with the Braves and Reds.

Unfortunately, I didn’t factor into my evaluation the important role of management.

Now, just past the halfway point, it’s evident that Tom Lasorda, Ron Perranoski, Fred Claire, et al, have been outcoached and outmanaged by their counterparts in both Atlanta and Cincinnati.
