Both of the posts provide details and factual information, but they do so with very different writing styles.
Post 1 uses a semi-formal style that could easily be found in a local newspaper. Post 2 uses a conversational tone that would more probably be heard on the radio or on a television program.
Despite the difference in tone, both posts give useful and detailed information about different aspects of the Dodgers.
Laura judges Rita by looks instead of actually finding out by asking. Never judge a book by its cover as they say. Also Laura focused more on Rita than herself causing herself to fall behind. Hope it helped.
