The Phillies benched their only African American player on Jackie Robinson Day and something about that just doesn’t sit right with me

By benched do you mean gave him a day of rest because he’s played 16 of theyre last 17 games?

16 games is a lot for any player would you rather him get injured? Yeah it’s a bad look but if you’re best players are taxed no reason to get an injury this early on every star player and routine starter gets a day off here and there

They literally have an off day today. He couldn’t last one more game? They also frequently pull him mid-game and pinch hit for him and he doesn’t often get more than three PAs in a game

Bro he literally had an off day less than a week before the game, he was benched a few days before that, and today is another off day😭 it’s not even close to 16 days in a row. He’s getting plenty of rest, he’s not being overworked by any means
