The games of the day for me were Houston versus the Texans due to the Blanco continued nono, the Clippers come back a.k.a. Paul George versus the Cavaliers, and the Braves sweeping the Diamondbacks.

Shohei Ohtani made the right decision not to return to this organization which lacks class and professionalism. Especially disappointing that the 2 people who saw and described Shohei’s dedication to the team daily for years used him for a cheap talking point. 😔

Yall acting like he played well yesterday. This was tweeted during the game. If you thought he played well, idk what to tell you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That's a sweep brother ☝️🤓
