Would think, given their huge lead, most LA players have checked out for Sept ball.

Gotta keep your players both fresh and at the ready for the 1st playoff round, which is just a best-of-5, short series.  But that's a month away.  Till then, spread around playing time, give players days off, plan long term so your starting pitchers are good to go in Oct.

Wouldn't be sweating the small stuff right now, think forest not trees.  LAD has lost 7 of its last 8, but really, does it matter?
