Yeah, I see you're right. Originally I heard Snell on Thursday and Glasnow on Friday. Now it's Snell, Yamamoto, and Sasaki in the opening series.
i expect the team to come out (no homo) completely flat in the opener, mirroring their clueless leader
I can totally see that, but I'm still giving Roberts whatever benefit of the doubt he earned from last year (until he loses it). Hoping that considering the final out of the WS was recorded in NY, then the two Cub games took place in Tokyo, and even the freeway series being in Anaheim, this is the first time the team will be playing in front of fans at DS... hopefully the energy will be crazy and keep them from playing flat. Really, we just need Snell to match Skobul and keep it close for the bullpens to take over.
Just curious TB, do you have May ahead of Glasnow in the rotation, or are you referring to Ohtani and Kershaw once they return? And is this based on Glasnow's fragility?
I was just exaggarating to emphasize how deep (no homo) the rotation is. Glasnow is kind of forgotten with all the other names and I assumed he was injured until last night.
If Glasnow were to pitch 180 innings and be healthy in the post season, he would be considered for best pitcher in the league.
Facing Flaherty on Friday. It's a shame knowing how much he wanted to stay on the team, but in the end there just wasn't room, which is a testament to how deep (as TB said, no homo) this rotation is. Perhaps if he didn't shit the bed in the playoffs, he'd still be here. I didn't realize just how bad he was - he surrendered 18 earned runs over the three series. And actually he has a career 5.36 postseason ERA, which is almost a run worse than Kershaw's (which we're all familiar with). That just doesn't cut it on this team. Good guy, but in the end, good riddance.
Like very good points about Jack...he shat big and shat often...but had his Dodger moments. All in all, his best days are in the rear view mirror, imo. That being said, expect a shutout... minimally from Jack.
Damn... a little wild but otherwise Carrot Top is looking damn good. Hopefully he stays away from those vicious lettuce leaves. This rotation!
Current Dodgers that have faced Skobul have hit .194 against him. Current Tigers who've faced Snell have hit .172 off him. This could very well be a 1-0 game.
