Routine my ass. No team puts three key players on the bench for rest on the same day.

Maddon is a liar. I never believe a word he says.

Ok... why did Maddon put Trout, Upton and Fletcher on the bench then?

The north star is 4,000 times brighter than our sun. The light we see when we look at the north star was generated in the year 1587, and it has been traveling through space for 434 years to reach us.

I agree. I mean I get it if we're playing the O's, Tigers or Pirates.. but the Astros? When you have a day off the next day?

Strange.

Strange seems to be a consistent theme in Maddon’s managerial style

"Ohtani enthusiastically said he was good to go" - bloody love that guy. The skills of a legend playing with the joy of a little leaguer. Awesome fun to watch.

Because they all are currently struggling and have provided little to the offense?
