And more specifically, the best possible soccer athletes would rather be, say, the back up PG for Colorado State or the WR6 for Western Kentucky than spend time in obscurity developing as a soccer player.
The Dodgers punted yesterday’s game to set up for today. They did this 3 times in the postseason last year due to pitching issues and it worked.
But those were seven game series. Punting one in a five game series is not something I would have done but they were playing down a reliever so I get it.
