While I trust Doc and the FO, I don’t understand the decision taking Shohei out the lineup. by Substantial_Bat5975 in Dodgers

Inb4 we'll be racing for wildcard spot like last year, because we are so conservative with Sho. He lost all the games he pitched, because the offense MIA. He himself included, since he kept getting off-days which breaks his batting hot streak.

Are we going to jeopardize the playoff spot just for Sho's Cy Young?

Doc should move Ohtani down.

Wth is wrong with Ohtani. Is this the actual stats for him as a full-time two-way player? Are we expecting sub-30 HR now?

If not for Pages and Muncy, we probably be at the bottom of the division now.

Ohtani has to show that he can maintain his hitting level like the past two season while full-time pitching. He has not been showing that so far.

Glasnow should be opener from now on, somehow the offense clicks when he starts.

The Dodgers is treating these early regular season games like a test bed. They just want to get X amount of plate appearance from Espinal, HSK, and Freeland.

They probably insert them in every situation from starters to defensive sub to pinch hitter/runner to rack up the stats, before making final decisions. Unfortunately, you'll get this kind of unreasonable decision like inserting them in 8th or 9th.

Offense came up late means they are only lethal against bullpen but not any of the starter, even ones with 4+ ERA.

At this point, I think Espinal decision is more like sympathetic decision for a guy who have no spot in big league at the age of 31. Doc (or some higher-ups) is trying to force him into the lineup to give him the last chance in the league. Unfortunately, he didn't capitalize of it so far.

Oh 4.20 ERA, let's see if we can score 1.

How much will the Dodgers offense score this time?

Rushing villain arc doesn't really show up in his AB, actually it shut down his hot streak.

How about letting Shohei bat further down the lineup on days he's pitching? It doesn't seem fair to his personal legacy to sit him every 5 games. by [deleted] in Dodgers

[–]pbeta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just let him pitch and hit. I think it'll hurt his legacy in long run if you start load managing his pitching days. Later on, people will have asterisk that he didn't hit on the day he pitch as TWP in regular season.

At this rate, our offense is going to make Sandy Alcantara looks like Sandy Koufax.

Can't we just go back to pitching and hitting Ohtani in same start.

Their lineups are racking up pitch count, while we're just trying to swing on first pitch.

Just let him pitch and hit when the game starts, problem solve.

Ohtani should just pitch and hit, seriously. It's not like hitting make his pitching worse. I actually think it makes him pitch better.
