    Maybe Barnes will have a Mike Scioscia moment.

    If we win tonight, Kershaw is the most likely person to get the ball in Game 1 of the WS. The optimist in me wants to say he has looked better this year (pre-playoffs), he had a gem against the Brewers, and the Rays are easily a step down from the Padres and Braves offensively. The pessimist in me wonders if he’s hurt and thinks about all the history of bad.

    In reality he just needs a short leash. Treat him like we do Dustin May, and things wouldn’t be as bad.

    thats kinda what I thought and I like it. Gonsolin has been good out of the pen, that’s why they tried out openers this year

    Brusdar is good but honestly he doesn’t get enough whiffs to use him in middle to late innings with people on base. Let him start an inning and see how long he gives you. Then after that, you can either bring in one more reliever to get bottom of order or put in Tony. Tony was good in game 2 and I feel good about him going 1-2 times through order. Then? Who knows. Depends on offense at that point

    About fucking time this lineup puts the hammer down and keeps it down. Great start yesterday, then nothing. Too many sticks in the Brave lineup to keep doing that shit.

    Whoa

    @JeffPassan-Dodgers will go with Dustin May to start Game 7 against Ian Anderson. May started Game 5, and on three days’ rest at that, so he’s unlikely to go much beyond an inning or two.

    @MMoreno1015
    Last week Dustin May said: "I never really got super sore like other guys did, so I was always able to bounce back, come back and throw pretty hard Day 1. I was very blessed with recovery." He threw 55 pitches in 2 innings on Friday.

    Hope he's a lot better than he was in Game 5. He was all over the place.

    Not terribly stoked on May. He didn’t look great on Friday.

    Show up for a few innings please.

    Obviously the decision makers think differently. Hope they're right and our fears are proven wrong.

    I’m hoping (guessing) Friday maybe he was of a different mindset starting the game trying to give a good 5-6 inning performance. He’s looked like a different animal these playoffs when it’s just a 1-2 inning outing. Hopefully he changes his approach, knowing we only need an inning or two and let’s it all out there.

    You had Hershiser going that night.

    They don't make them like that anymore. Or put it this way, they don't allow pitchers to do that anymore.

    Some people only play to win.
    Others play for personal glory.
    While some are happy they made it to the show.
