One other class act: Teoscar putting his arm around Shildt and talking him down. Even got Shildt to smile.

It’s all context. The 3-0 hit of Ohtani tonight was, “well, I don’t have a competitive pitch, I’ll just plunk him and exact some revenge.” The Dodgers rookie reliever that hit Tatis, on the other hand, with the look of a deer in headlights, was struggling for control. No way intentional.

Ohtani handled getting hit with incredible grace, especially considering it was his second time getting plunked this series, and both times were intentional. If there’s outrage to be had, it should be directed at the Padres pitchers or the managers that direct them.

I am grateful for Scott’s voice. He describes an honest, decent version of manhood. A better path for young men than the malignant machismo crap pervading society.

Wow, yeah, that’d make it an all-LA game. Maybe the Dodgers organization refused to take a stand, but Angelenos can.

I am a lifelong Dodgers fan but would support an organized boycott of the Dodgers’ 47th home game as an appropriate fan response. This president hates LA and the west coast. His admin even tried to erase Jackie Robinson’s legacy from DoD websites. Go play a game of catch with your kid instead.
