    What are we thinking we are going to see pitching wise from LA tonight? Seems like theyve used a lot of the bullpen in these last two games so i have no idea what to expect

    That Phillips kid gave them some length in game three. My guess is that he’s asked for another two innings tonight. Their big guys can cover 7-9 pretty easily. Graterol could cover the sixth. They’d need somebody to nail down another 3 innings or so. Maybe Gonsolin could give them one ineffective inning.

    I would envision Knebel starts again. I'd say the guys who have had days off will be asked to go 2 innings. So I see it as:

    Knebel (I guess if the first inning went really well, they may ask him to go 2)
    Joe Kelly
    Vesia
    Brusdar (maybe ask him to go 2)
    Treinen (maybe ask him to go 2)
    Kenley (maybe ask him to go 2)

    I cannot imagine Bickford, Gonsolin, Phillips, or Briuhl are available. And no starters should be available, since their only chance to come back in the series involves leaning on Max and Buehler.

    tldr: gonna be a shit show, but some of the best relievers on the team are rested.

    he has been asked to get 4 or 5 outs a few times, mainly early in the year. Only asked to get 6 outs once I believe.

    Not a great position for LAD, but if they are gonna ask a lot out of the bullpen, which has been the best all year, better that it is their top guys who are fresh and available.

    But I don't see Dodgers bats randomly waking up all of a sudden, especially against Fried.

    Hard to envision each guy throwing 10-15 pitches in one inning's work is the reason they weren't able to pitch at their best this series. The easier explanation is that the dodgers were sprinting to the finish line with the Giants since late July, had to play a WC, and went 5 against the Giants. That exhausted the arms (plus Kershaw's injury) more than an extended bullpen session. Of course, I'd rather not have pitched Julio in game 2 based on the outcome. Didn't seem necessary. But I tend to be a Roberts apologist since this team tied a franchise record for wins despite some significant injuries and speedbumps.

    Also, credit to the Braves bats. Not many people are getting out Rosario or the meat of this lineup right now.

    That’s a fair point. Guess the West sort of cannibalized itself with two great teams vying for home field advantage.

    Sounds like your best bet is to get through today and hope Max and Buehler could go deep into their starts. The off day to rest your pen arms would be huge for you. Braves really need to finish it off today, or things could get more interesting than we want.

    With no Turner or Muncy, I don't really see the offense clicking all of a sudden unless Trea Turner wakes up (Dodgers were nearly unbeatable in September because he was red hot). So I think the Braves will be fine, as they've been the better team all series (to be fair, I didn't watch Game 1 as I was getting married). However, if the Dodgers did win tonight, I would not blame anyone for thinking the Dodgers could take the last 2 with the pitching matchups and with both 'pens rested. I'm sure if the Braves lose to the Dodgers in a bullpen game with Fried on the mound, your stomach will start to turn. But I am not feeling great about Scherzer, especially since his most recent press conference said he had a "dead arm" :laugh:

    good luck tonight.

    100%. As much as he can write a pretty great story surrounding a big event/success, a lot of the LA Times writers just bitch and moan imo. Can't stand Plaschke despite liking a few articles here and there over the years. He is in rare (awful) form right now.


    super excited to read all the "this is what went wrong with the dodgers" stories after this series despite them tying a franchise record for wins while dealing with Bauer's bum ass, May/Kershaw injuries, Bellinger's year, Seager/Mookie injuries, etc.

    I just don’t understand why Plaschke’s candy ass wrote that article after Game 3. Publish that shit after you win the series and can accurately dissect the turning point.

    I am not exactly sure what you are talking about, but on my twitter, I often get recommended LA Times articles. I saw one headlined something like: "Dodgers had their backs against the wall ... but after Game 3, now it is the Braves on the ropes." Couldn't roll my eyes hard enough. No one I follow for Dodgers beat writing / websites / twitter accounts was acting like the Dodgers had taken back control of the series just because they had some cool comeback.

    Agreed. Definitely way more consistent than the previous three games and his calls much more benign in big at bats.
