Your sphincter must have gotten a workout watching Mookie Betts diving all over the field saving meaningless games agains the lowly Diamondbacks and Giants. It’s Dodger-grade dumb.
You know where I’m going with this. Get your shit in one bag Druff. This is a message you must deliver to the fellowship on Facebook.
Yes, there was one day where the big 3 sat, and then they're right back to playing. I think Freeman has an obsession with playing every day, seeing himself as a modern day ironman. He even made a derogatory comment about players who sit, claiming that they're being paid to be out there. However, it doesn't seem that Mookie and Trea have a similar objection, so at least sit them a bit more. Trea wasn't the same guy during the 2021 postseason, so he really needs rest. And you know Mookie... he is prone to slumps if things aren't feeling quite right.
Now that the Dodgers are virtually guaranteed the best record in the NL, highly likely to finish with the best record in baseball, almost sure to beat the franchise record in wins, and almost surely NOT going to win 116+ games, they should really be fielding fail lineups until the playoffs come.
I don't understand why they are playing close to their regular lineup each day.
