@ChuncyMuncy@ChadMoriyama I remember two weeks ago Doc said he doesn’t have a better choice than Freedie, but I honestly don’t understand why he said that. There are definitely other options to play 1B while letting Freddie rest.
@tossanshin@ReadyforTHEESHO Exactly. That shows us some are short sighted that they just wanted to win this game at the moment, while the front office is aiming for winning in the postseason.
@ReadyforTHEESHO Also agreed—people are talking shit about Ohtani just because he’s not breaking any records this year. Times like this remind me how irrational fans can be and how ridiculous the world is. Fatigue to his greatest is what it is.
@ReadyforTHEESHO If JDP was not optioned, he wouldn’t get the AB after Ohtani returned from IL. Sending him to OKC is the best way to ramp JDP up so he can be ready for postseason roster.
@brownsonjacob2 Same- I wouldn’t love the idea. Rushing basically can only serve as a DH due to his injury, while JDP can serve as a OF if needed. JDP is more versatile & with better plate discipline. Plus, I like the vibe JDP brings to the team than Rushing’s.
