    Kershaw’s schedule could make Wood All-Star
    by Matthew Moreno | Dodger Blue — 2 hours ago

    Clayton Kershaw was among the four Los Angeles Dodgers named to the National League roster for the 2017 MLB All-Star Game, but another year figures to pass in which the three-time Cy Young Award winner does not start the exhibition game.

    That would make seven career All-Star selections without a start for Kershaw, who’s widely viewed as the best pitcher of his generation. What’s more, this could be a second consecutive year where the left-hander doesn’t so much as appear in relief for the NL team.

    Kershaw takes the mound Tuesday in the series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and is scheduled to start Sunday in the Dodgers’ final game before the All-Star break.

    “I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t,” Kershaw said of potentially starting Sunday.
    That would leave him ineligible to pitch two days later in the Midsummer Classic.

    In turn, it would create a spot on the NL roster that possibly could be filled by Alex Wood. He was one of the Dodgers’ two All-Star snubs. Turner is a Final Vote candidate and as of Tuesday morning was leading the group of five players.

    Kershaw believes both of his teammates will wind up in Miami, even if Wood’s prospects are a little more unclear at present time.

    “I think Woody is going to get on there, with all the different guys who will be ineligible to pitch in the All-Star Game,” Kershaw said. “Woody will be on there somehow. I’m pretty sure he’ll get on there.”

    Prior to Kershaw addressing his upcoming starts and All-Star rosters being announced, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the club would remain flexible. “With Clayton, we’re going to support anything he wants,” Roberts said. “In talking to him, we’re just taking it start by start.”

    “First is what is good for the club as far as having him strong for the rest of the season. I think for us, to take everything into consideration, the best thing for the club is where we’ve got it right now.”

    Of course, even with Kershaw possibly removed from the equation, it does not guarantee Wood is named as a replacement to the NL roster. Washington Nationals southpaw Gio Gonzalez has put together a strong first half and has a leg up on Wood in terms of innings pitched.

    I can't be bothered voting, but I'm sending positive energy. I'm like the people who change their Facebook profile pic to stop terrorism. I'm helping.

    I'm up to about 70. Found that I can press 2 less buttons by using my cell phone and using the microphone. Pretty lazy I know.

    Who cares? Maybe it means a lot to JT. Career journeyman, probably a dream come true. History shows we don't do shit when it comes to fan votes. We need the push.

    Good post.
    So Orel is a shill for the Dodgers...like you say, so what? Big deal.
    It was OK for Tommy to do it for years, but I guess he is more endearing than a genuine Dodger all time record book hero...as FSU wrote he didn't get the Torre hate, I don't get the Orel hate.
    When you're talking for about 4 hours, 6/7 days a week, not everything out of your mouth can be a gem...even Vinny had his share of inane, repetitious stuff.
    The guy makes as many interesting baseball points as any announcer does, and if this is the way he bleeds his Dodger Blue, good for him.
    Maybe JT told him he'd love to go, he's older now, might not get another shot, etc.
    So, it just isn't sad he's electioneering for him at all, imo.
    Maybe it's just a friend trying to help out a friend.
    And his job.

    I usually don't care, but JT is special. I thought he was a mediocre utility player when we first got him and he's turned into our best hitter and the guy you want up with the game on the line. Been one of the most surprising Dodgers in my lifetime.

    it was too much
    one thing to drop an occasional "don't forget to vote for jt" here and there
    but getting on the mic and imploring everyone is another
    i get it, we all want our guy(s) to get in there
    but the constant badgering was offensive
    if i were watching another team's broadcast and they did that...
    props though to joe davis who stayed on point

    Orel is a complete and total homer so for him to do that was absolutely in character. It would almost be disappointing if he didn't do that but either way I maxed all three cell phones so I'm of clear conscience. Lol

    I think I'm going to have Eric vote on the website for a while tomorrow. He'd be happy to do it too since he loves his Dodgers. :)
