I miss when the Dodgers had Joe Blanton in that bullpen.
-
It's not shocking. That he somehow is healthy is.
-
And our SP was on 3 days rest.
-
Chase Utley has donated thousands of dollars to my local dog shelter and went to UCLA but I hate him so very much. Nice strikeout, [expletive].
-
Well, going to Q and Lester on short rest is gonna blow up in the Cubs' face. Of course, I'm not sure starting Lackey and Q on normal rest would've been better.
-
Addison homers in LA in the NLCS are a harbinger of good times.
-
77 through 4 on 3 days rest after a 7 pitch first says it all.
-
3 HRs in 6 games + 4 innings isn't ideal.
-
Way too many pitches for a guy on 3 days rest.

Always have been. Always will be.

I'm really interested in seeing how Clifton and Underwood Jr do when they're moved to the bullpen. I think there's a good reliever in there between those two. Also think de la Cruz is destined for the bullpen given his health issues but he could be a really good high leverage late inning reliever. For some reason, I really like Craig Brooks. Ricky Tyler Thomas (2017 7th rounder out of Fresno State) should move fast and might be knocking on the door by 2019. He's the only lefty reliever I really find interesting in the system right now. Obviously Maples has all the potential in the world but that control is iffy and I'm really annoyed by all the walks in the bullpen right now. They'e gonna have to buy some relief help this offseason. Shaw would be nice but will be expensive. Nicasio, Reed and Kintzler seem like nice, cheaper options (and obviously they have to re-sign Davis).

He doesn't need to if the plate is blocked I'm aware. I thought it was amusing.
-
Culberson still hasn't touched home plate.
-
What Contreras did was legal and the umpires should be embarrassed.
-
Would've liked to save Lackey for tomorrow since I'm not sure Lester can go too long tomorrow.
-
Damn it, Schwarber should have hit that out.
-
What are you talking about? Manfred insists the ball isn't juiced and Chris Taylor hitting 23 home runs this season seems totally legit.
-
Love that the Dodgers so brazenly skirt the rules that even the beat writers know how they'll try to cheat.
-
I get the feeling Rondon won't be back next season.
