Social media bursts with highlight reels of the Dodgers’ last-night performance, but they often cherry-pick moments that paint a skewed narrative. A single slide-stop of a perfect double play, for instance, can be taken out of context to suggest a flawless defense that never happened. By contrasting the official play-by-play with the highlights you see a more nuanced picture.
Beyond the instant moments, the game’s broader storyline—home‑run totals, pitching changes, and inning swings—reveals the underlying dynamics that the highlights omit. A quick scroll may hint at a dramatic comeback, but the raw numbers show when momentum actually shifted.
