The Dodgers have 7 players in the 70s for games played:
1 Muncy, M LAD 1B 78
2 Bellinger, C LAD RF 77
2 Taylor, C LAD LF 77
4 Verdugo, A LAD CF 76
5 Hernandez, K LAD 2B 75
6 Turner, J LAD 3B 73
7 Pederson, J LAD LF 71
8 Seager, C LAD SS 66
9 Freese, D LAD 1B 56
Cubs also with 7 in the 70s, 6 between 74-77 games.
Yankees much more balanced:
1 Voit, L NYY 1B 76
2 Gardner, B NYY CF 75
3 LeMahieu, D NYY 2B 73
3 Torres, G NYY SS 73
5 Urshela, G NYY 3B 64
6 Sanchez, G NYY C 59
7 Frazier, C NYY RF 53
Twins and Astros also with only 4 in the 70s.
Note: Not in disagreement with the premise, just wanted to provide some context on where these other teams sit in player utilizations. Ultimately, if Snit would just give them a game here or there, he'd be right in line with some of the others... As is, we're the only team with 5 players up at the top. The next closest being Boston, Oakland, and Philly with 3 between 78-81 games played.

That extra day off every other week in June, July, and August really pays dividends in September in October.

Exactly. Nobody is saying that our best players should be sitting a game every week. But a game off every 2-3 weeks (depending on the player) could keep them fresh for September/October. Last year Freeman (162), Markakis (162), Albies (158), and Inciate (156) played too many games in the regular season. I think you find a way to give those guys just a handful of strategic days off during the season and you would have been better off. Also has the benefit of keeping guys like Camargo, Culberson, Joyce, etc in a rhythm to get a start every few days.
