    Im not sure they actually start in AAA. I think they are stashed in the bullie because no one is sure Kerhsaw or Price will go more than 4-5 innings. Having May or Gonsolin come in behind them saves the bullie if they can go 2-3 innings. IMO the Rotation is Behuler (R)/Kerhsaw (L)/Bauer (R)/Price (L)/Urias (L).

    .....Mota
    Rube has been an enigma to us all, even as far back as the other 3 letter joint that shall not be named. I am actually surprised that Jonathan Vilar was not worked into that last soliloquy.

    So I clicked on one of those yahoo click bait links, this one happened to be the rankings of all MLB starting rotations. It is bananas to think of the pitchers the Dodgers let go. Ryu is the ace of Blue Jays. Maeda is the ace of the Twins, Frankie Montas is the ace of the A's, Greinke is the ace of the Assholes, and Darvish is the ace of the Pads......HOLY SHIT!!!

    Kershaw was 7 innings or more 4 times last year (including postseason), which is probably more than the rest of the roster combined.

    Im not sure you are going to be able to convince many people that 4 games of 7+ innings in a shortened season where he made 15 total starts is enough to say he has his longevity back. Look at the past years. 2019 - 11 out of 29. 2018 - 9 out of 26. That is roughly 1/3 of the time he is going 7+ innings, so they need the bullie 2/3 of the time when he pitches. Trust me I pray driveline helped this off season again and he can get back to 2018 form when he posted 16 out of 27 games with a 7+ inning effort, but I don't think that is a reality at this stage in his career.

    And each of them you could argue would be our #4 entering this season. No reason for this team to not repeat.

    Brandon Morrow is not going to be playing this spring from the looks of it. The team is apparently taking a very slow approach with him and are going to gradually build up his arm strength to begin the season. Makes sense as the bullpen is absolutely overloaded right now and there is no need to rush a dude that they signed to an MiLB deal. All that matters is him being healthy the last QUARTER of the season.

    David Price said when news of #Dodgers interest in Trevor Bauer was percolating he reached out to Andrew Friedman and told him "If it happens, I'm willing to do whatever you guys need me to do" as far as role on pitching staff.

    So we can expect Price to bounce between rotation and bullpen, cycling through with Tony and May as necessary. Pretty cool

    Really.
    How many games he won.
    How many holds be got.
    How many times did he suit up.
    Was he there for them in the clutch spitting shells out his shooter?

    It's easy to be a great teammate and say the white things when you have the bag secured and nothing is asked of you other than to take your money and stay on permanent vacation.

    When money is put in your face and you say fuck the money... That's a good teammate. But you won't hear that sound bite.
    Because only a fool spits on his privilege.
    Same one thats too proud to beg.
    Only teammates for a dodgers fan.
    Because dodgers don't get in line for their free complimentary ticket.
    Dodgers fans are fools.
    And I know plenty of fools who want their ravine back because this ain't it.
    No matter if the bankers can afford to bring in multimillion dollar pitchers with broken mechanics to be what... A mascot to say nice things to the media that doesn't do anything to help a clubhouse but may further fuel any brewing divisions?

    Sorry blazer. I would love to go to a game with you some day but fuck these rich assholes. They ain't getting a dime from me.
    It will be a cold day in hell before I step foot in Dodgers stadium.
    All the god forsaken parking lots will be razed to the ground before I give them a penny.

    Good teammates don't
    publically shame their teammates as racists for visiting the GOAT in the WH.
