What are the chances the Dodgers knew this was going to come out that’s why they introduced Ohtani’s wife. Previously he wanted to keep her identity secret. As my teenage son would say this is very “Suss”!
I am not bitching....not yet at least. If PB was taken out for a rest I can understand it. However, the team has only played in 11 games this season and PB only had 1 AB in three of those games so I am surprised a rest was needed. If there was some single game match up strategy about the move than I want to know what it was and I won't bitch.
However, if it is because your team is starting off 2-8, your clean up hitter is batting under 200, and you are feeling pressure to turn it around so you bench a player who his hitting 280+ than yea....I am going to bitch.
