Scioscia's got to know that he's pissing people off. Apparently, the fat man thinks he's above the law. We'll just see about that...

LOL.

Nothing will happen. Absolutely nothing. He'll probably get an extension for another year or two.

But your post would sound good if delivered in the voice of Jerry Seinfeld. "We'll just see about that, Kramer!"

Exactly who is the law

[Lou]

Trout's overall OBP is higher than Ohtani's OPS vs LHP 

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!

Go Skaggy!!! Rebound with a victory and take this series!!!

Go D-Fletch, Simon, Kiiiid, J-Up, The Machine,

Bootsie, El Bley, Machete and Koleman!!

Lefties are coming!!! Paxton, Kershaw and Hill!!!

I believe the law ceases to exist when you suck ass vs LHP

Babe Ruth would sit vs a LHP if Scioscia was his manager....

Babe Ruth would sit against a top lefty if he was batting .143 against lefties.

[Lou]

Ohtani, since returning from injury:

.227 BA

22 AB

9 K

.292/.409/.701
 

[Lou]

Ohtani in his last 64 AB: 

.204  BA

25  K

please stop acting like him not starting is the equivalent of Trout sitting on the bench.

I believe I might take my chances with the Babe.....and Ohtani too....

Okay now Pujols and Marte’s numbers vs lefties over the last 64 at bats?

And we decide to sit our second best hitter. Boy, I’m so ready for Mike Scioscia to go away. 

He hits .118 against left handed pitching.

That will be awesome.

My guess is better than .143.

Actually Shohei is hitting .143 vs lefthanders in 35 ab's not .118

Pujols is hitting an amazing .162 vs lefthanders in 74 ab's. 

.143 vs .162 I'm guessing that's a difference of one base hit lol. Gotta love Scioscia.

Pujols vs. LHP: .142/.213/.297

Marte vs. LHP  .255/.283/.519

Yes, better than .118. Albert by a bit, Jefry by a wider margin.

I corrected it my memory was off.   Have you watched Shoehei against a lefty with a slider?  He looks AWFUL, much worse than Albert has ever looked in a batters box.   It’s simply nothing to be bothered by in my mind.

I think the elephant in the room, and it’s not going away, is that Pujols can’t play 1b every day.....benching Ohtani against LHP is a way to let Pujols DH....That’s going to be an issue going forward, particularly if Ohtani can’t pitch next year....

And also if Sho-Time continues to have issues hitting lefties.

Brain fart to start the game.  Gordon on 2nd.

Choosing Pujols to play over Ohtani is deeply concerning for this organization. You win the lottery and get the Japanese Babe Ruth and you bench him in favor of a washed up 40 year old? Embarrassing.

More embarrassing than hitting a buck forty three?  Doubtful.
