    Roberts keeping 6-man rotation through SF series
    by Matthew Moreno | Dodger Blue — 20 minutes ago

    Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team with still stick with a six-man starting rotation through next week’s series against the San Francisco Giants. That leaves Clayton Kershaw and group on an extra day of rest for one more turn.

    Meaning, Hyun-Jin Ryu will start the opener at AT&T Park, followed by Kenta Maeda on Tuesday, and Kershaw in the series finale. It also amounts to Kershaw not starting in the road series with the Washington Nationals next weekend.

    That the Dodgers aren’t sending their ace to the hill in what may be a National League Championship Series is merely a matter of circumstance, not intentional, even if there’s an advantage to possibly be gained.

    “I do believe if a team sees a pitcher more, there is a percentage of an advantage,” Roberts began to explain. “I don’t know if it matters as much.

    “When you’re talking about Clayton, or Max Scherzer or a Zack Greinke, guys that are those elite pitchers, have elite stuff, and can play the cat-and-mouse game and make adjustments. But I do know we’re not trying to manipulate our rotation to avoid or make sure we see certain guys.”

    Kershaw faced the Nationals in June and earned the win to help the Dodgers avoid being swept in the three-game series. Assuming the Dodgers revert back to a traditional rotation, Kershaw can make a total of four starts prior to the playoffs beginning.

    The last of which would come against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Saturday, Sept. 30, which is the second-to-last game of the regular season. That would put the Dodgers ace on five days’ rest for Game 1 of the NL Division Series.

    probably the best alternative
    even with kersh going yesterday i couldn't stop thinking "how are we going to lose tonight?"
    hard [no homo] to see us winning another game the way we're playing
    wouldn't be surprised if we finished 92-70 and got routed in the wild card game
    in fact, i've alreday accepted that as the outcome
    feeling the zen as we speak...

    Ned was just on the radio and he mentioned that speaking to scouts from other teams, they are asking who the Dodgers are going to hit after Bellinger. I don't believe so much in lineup protection but I do believe that we have a huge drop off after Bellinger in the lineup. If Granderson or somebody can't figure it out and produce for us, our offense may be in trouble.

    I agree he is the best option at the present time. But when he was batting 8th the lineup seemed deep AF

    It also took some of the mental heat off a fragile Puig. Think he could handle that better now.

    So Ryan Spillbourghs is the Rockies color guy these days and he was saying ad nauseom over the weekend that he thinks the Dodgers called up entirely too many players and it upset the clubhouse. I had a feeling that he knew something that wasn't out in the media just yet as even though he's a Rockies guy, he seems connected to the Dodgers and is a local dude. If you listen to him as often as I do, you can tell that all he wishes is he coulda played for the org due to his childhood passion for the team(He admitted to crying during Vin's final broadcast). Well... now Nomar is saying it and McCullough seems to think some guys are being sent home. This is probably not a bad idea, so it could be the last we see of Culberson, Dickson, Thompson and at least Segedin this year.

    I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but did Granderson get hurt on the final play of Rich Hill's almost-perfect game? He slammed into the wall trying to make the play, I thought for sure he was hurt watching it full speed. He walked it off and nothing came of it, but he's 4 for 47 since with a .458 OPS. That game was also the beginning of our current funk.
