Why did you put it on StubHub if you planned on going?

I put it up so I wouldn't have to go to game. Nobody bought it until 15 minutes ago, so it's not like I was going to skip the game and let the money go to waste.

But why do you not want to go to the game? You could end up on TV again.

Because I've gone every single day this week. I need a break.

Yes?

I'm 100% ok with Ohtani getting the day off, but holy shit that outfield defense. 

It's giving Trout day off from CF, but big bat out of lineup with Ohtani. I'd rest him against a lefty. Hard slid into home last night by Sho.

Ohtani was banged up yesterday when he got thrown out at the plate. Makes sense for him to take a day off, but the game won’t be fun without him.

I was kidding... but it is too bad the rest of the country won't get a taste of Sho-time

Maybe they took him out to keep him from getting injured before they could trade him.

Who would ever say such a dumb thing like that? What trade him to Doyers because Buehler's hurt how dumb.

[DMVol]

6-9 in that lineup…..yikes….

Has Lagares' defense fallen off that much? I remember back in his Mets "'heyday" he was an elite defender

Let's just say pretty much all of us would prefer Adell out there regardless of offense.

Long ago Lagares was a great defender but many injuries and age have diminished his defense.  He had offensive tools but chases pitches and lacks plate discipline.  He also had some speed but couldn't utilize for SBs.  Adell is who I rather see there.

Sho needs a break tonight, too.
