The Los Angeles Dodgers are spinning their tires a little bit at the moment, having lost six of their last 10, and their trade deadline pickups aren't doing much to help the cause. The Dodgers were aggressive at the deadline and made headlines as part of a three-team, 13-player trade with the Braves and Marlins. The deal most notably netted the Dodgers starting pitchers Mat Latos and Alex Wood, and relievers Jim Johnson and Luis Avilan. The early returns have not been good, as True Blue L.A. points out : "The numbers have been so spectacularly bad that I just wanted to chronicle the combined numbers for the quartet to date, just for posterity sake more than anything: 35.1 innings, 48 hits, 35 runs, 34 earned runs, 15 walks, 33 strikeouts, 8.66 ERA, 1.783 WHIP, 4.49 FIP. Opposing batters are hitting .322/.391/.497 with five home runs and nine doubles in 169 plate appearances (the batting average on balls in play is .381 if you are searching for a silver lining)." To put those numbers into perspective, here's what fellow Dodgers starter Zack Greinke has done this season: Zack Greinke has allowed 29 earned runs in 158 1/3 innings https://t.co/lDmdyaiqfO — Mark Saxon...
