The thing with Ohtani is that like his bat is really important. And it sure is. But he also had a 2.1 FIP and a higher K% than Skubal. He should pitch as much as possible.

I mean the Mets certainly need him too. It’s amazing how much worse an offense looks with a bad first baseman.

They may have to communicate with him though. So best just avoid that.

What part do you disagree with? Especially since they just got lost a series in large part by being a bat short while not having a single player they traded for being on the playoff roster. This includes Dustin May who they used their prospect in the trade to acquire.

I mean. If the Red Sox are gonna trade a dominant bat for next to nothing they probably should be in on Alonso to replace him.

Yeah. I mean piecing together arms to be competitive is better than the alternative. I think AJ Hinch this postseason was probably too quick with his starters to the point I think it was the difference between winning and not.

It’s funny that the Dodgers won two World Series doing it. And are now the one team just completely not doing it.

Watching the replay they did appeal to first and it was not a swing. Which is just a bad call.

The pope is a white Sox fan. So it’s them.
