Free up that Belly money for Trea Turner
That idiot is out of the lineup tonight and I’m cooking up a little parlay stew that I’m not proud of but greed.
Gonna let you in on a secret: only the top 3 in the order matter. The rest are utility grade bolt ons. The power trio is so superlative and historic that might be enough. I would rest them but I’m not a Dodger quant.
I do give the Dodgers sincere respect for coming to play when it hasn’t mattered for quite a while. I really can’t think of any similar paradigm short of the 2007/8 Patriots - that was driven by hate which is more fun. Dodgers +320 run differential. The Patriots ran up the score every game of that undefeated season. Belichick was all pissed off that year. Good times.
2007 Patriots and 2022 Dodgers same sad outcome come to think of it. Both were perennial champs in rubbish divisions. I could do quite a riff. I never thought to compare the two cause… Patriots have lots of rings and Dodgers have none …. Maybe that’s why.
I have to issue Dave Roberts a pardon. He has kept these guys playing hard. That’s coaching. Roberts will exercise the pardon come playoffs. That’s fine
Speaking of which, Brady and Giselle are split. Is that exploitable? The press gonna come hard
