  1. Good morning, Dodger friends.

    For those of you who are still using old Reddit, please take a moment to review the team leaders in the sidebar, because it really tells the story of this season. On offense, Ohtani leads in every category except OBP, where he is tied with Freddie Freeman (our data has not been updated as of the time I’m typing this, but I assure you that what I’m saying is true). And on the other side of the ball, the Dodgers don’t have a single pitcher who has thrown enough innings this season to qualify for any of the rate stats.

    None of this is new information to anyone who has followed this team, but it is still starkly indicative of how important — dare I say “valuable” — Ohtani has been this season. And if the Dodgers hope to go anywhere in the playoffs with a 1.5-man pitching rotation and a pen that has been less “bull” and more “steer” for much of this season, he will likely have to be even more valuable.

    1) In 2009, my then-gf and I took a trip to England to see Radiohead headline the Reading Festival. I naively booked a very short trip — overnight flight arriving the morning before the concert, set to fly back the evening of the day afterwards — and when we got to our hotel we were too jetlagged and cranky to do much of anything besides argue. The day of the festival was an 8-hour melee with a mob of British teenagers, but somehow we survived and found ourselves front-row-center when the band came out and played what turned out to be a [legendary set](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/radiohead/2009/little-johns-farm-reading-england-23d4acab.html). It remains the single greatest live music experience of my life.

    2) Cats and dogs are both great. You can’t go wrong either way.

    3) I have a very particular and unique skill in that I can be creative in a hacky way very quickly. I can generate mediocre-to-okay songs, poems, short stories, and the like in shockingly little time, but if given all the time in the world to do the same I still produce the same middle-quality material.

    Go Dodgers!

  2. Do you guys feel mookie & Freddie feel outshined by ohtani & that’s why they haven’t performed as well compared to last year
