          The Dodgers will set a new team record with 1,296 home runs.
          It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

            O's to go 0-162......

            not sure if this qualifies as an overreaction though

              My $54 Scherzer is going 0-33 with 390 k's.

              But my $3 Yates is on pace for 162 saves.

                I know Tuffy Rhodes' 3 HR opening day stands out as the most extreme example here but for some reason Chris Shelton's opening to the 2006 season always sticks in my mind.

                After 15 games, he was hitting .431/.476/1.086 with 9 hr's, 17 rbi, and 13 runs. He ended the season hitting .273/.340/.466 with 16 hr's, 47 rbi and 50 runs in 115 games. Pretty amazing to get more than half of your season home run total and almost half of your season rbi total in 15 games. There's a more detailed breakdown of it here:

                Chris Shelton got off to a torrid start in 2006, prompting comparisons to Bonds and Ruth, then became a cautionary tale about early-season conclusions.

                  Daniel Murphy has completely forgotten how to hit. He may hit below the Mendoza.

                      All pitchers suck. At least the ones on my fantasy teams.

                              Maikel Franco looks like he will be intentionally walked about 180 times this season.
