Roberts is now classified as an ID 10 T...if you guys aren't up to snuff with the modern high tech jargon, just take the spaces away. That's what Dave is. And it was touched on last night, but how many think Gonsolin will be shut down at some point?
Probably, but how do you do that while keeping him tuned up and also stretched out for 80-100 pitches?
I don't see any reason he'd be shut down. Dodgers have babied him and all the other starters along the entire year presumably so he'd still be good for the postseason
What I kind of expect to see when Kershaw returns is a six-man rotation for the rest of the season. That should help ensure that the starters are rested for the playoffs. Not sure what effect that would have on the bullpen though with one fewer arm.
I just realized that 40% of the teams in baseball get to go to the post season. What's it all about, Alfie ? If you can't be in that NBA- like group, you really suck. Supposed to believe it's fun, I guess. Wtf if the 162 games for? Oh, yeah...you get a bye. Some diluted shit going on, boyo.
I was thinking the same, although in the playoffs we wouldn't be facing this guy Houser or likely not even Peralta. It'd be Woodruff who's historically owned us, Burnes whom we've owned, but with a pitcher of his caliber you can't take him for granted, and Lauer who we seemingly have no answer for. But yeah, I feel better about facing them than I did before.
Also, it needs to be mentioned. While Fresh Prince's slap and Cold Play's music have made for good joke material here, at least we don't have Jason Alexander pitching for us. Because he definitely experienced shrinkage on the mound tonight.
