    I actually feel the exact opposite this year. I think we're going to win it all, but the MLB and the rest of the country won't look at it as legit because of the shortened season. It also just wouldn't feel the same to me, if I'm being perfectly honest.

    We'll then go on to not win the World Series for another 30 years.

    I'm guessing that we see piggybacks in game 1-2 with a rested BP if needed in G3. Buehler then Urias tonight and Kerhsaw then May tomorrow. Just a hunch.

    Urias hasn't pitched in a week, and it seems intentional that they were targeting him for today's game. I just hope they don't get cute by putting in Kenley for the 9th - the ideal formula would be Buehler for 5-6 innings, and then Urias for the rest of the game if he's going good.

    It would definitely be bittersweet. I’ve always planned to come out for the would-be parade and black out for 4 days straight in the streets of LA. Couldn’t do that...

    According to Ken Gurnick:

    Terrance Gore, Matt Beaty, Keibert Ruiz added to Dodgers roster; Alex Wood, Dylan Floro, Gavin Lux removed.

    Yeah that’s really the only thing that would suck. I wouldn’t put an asterisk on this season since we’re all in the same boat because of covid. Hell, the only footnote should read was played under the 2020 covid pandemic.

    But not getting a parade is gonna suck if we do win it all. If the Lakers and Dodgers win it, fuck it, I’ll risk getting covid and dying for a parade. My life would have peaked with a World Series title anyway.

    You could definitely black out in the streets of LA and pretend like there's a parade. Win or lose.

    Oh wow... apparently Devin Williams, Milwaukee's best relief pitcher this year and one of the best relievers in baseball, is not on the Brewer's roster. Big break for the Dodgers.

    My biggest gripe with our roster is Kelly over Floro. Floro is good! Kelly has good stuff but has shown nothing to indicate he’s good this year!

    other then that, hard to complain about Lux/Wood being left off and Hopefully Beaty/Gore are useful (but really, if we’re relying on one of those guys, things are bad lol)

    Joe Kelly pitched 6 great innings against the Dodgers in the WS. Besides that he's been pretty average for his entire career. I guess they like his experience? Not sure.

    That’s absolutely massive. Probably would’ve been AT LEAST 3 shutdown innings against us. That dude is scary

    I don't even know if I'll watch. Too many disappointments over the last 3-4 years and the way baseball handled the Astr*s has taken away much of my love for the game.

    floro should have both been on the roster
    most will disagree, but i think kelly needs to be there too
    could have easily sat gore, beaty even ruiz

    Yeah the only time I really see gore being useful is Edwin gets a late double and we pinch run him. We’d then probably have to use another bench spot to put in a defender for Rios

    Shouldn't need that many pitchers in a three game series.

    Floro>Curveball Joe all day long. Still trying to figure why he's mostly abandoned his high 90s heater.

    He can't be 86ed from the roster soon enough for me.

    So glad that Wood is not on the roster. Still not sure why he was even brought back in the first place.
