No (Blue) Justice for the Brave: Dodgers vs. Braves NLDS ‘18

[Regular_P]

No it's not. His closer has had problems so bring him in and let him get some work.

Roberts also is playing the long game, if somehow this goes five...guess who gets the start...Kershaw.

You think Roberts ain't looking at last year and thinking "damn if I had Kershaw in game 7".

Like I said, look at the stats, Kershaw KILLED shyt last postseason, if I'm Roberts I start anyone not named Kershaw in the NLCS IF they make it just because.

He had 85 pitches through eight on normal rest. It was only a 3-0 game and Atlanta was uncomfortable all night. OK, it worked out, but who do you think the Atlanta dugout preferred to see going into the 9th? Like we've never seen teams have meltdowns in three run games in the playoffs.

Roberts put that 2-0 lead at risk when the sure thing was Kershaw for another inning.

If. Kershaw didn't just give up 5 in sf the week before he probably would've gotten the chance. Jansen needed the work through but yeah kershaw was cruising

people have to understand Kershaw is 8 - 7 in the postseason

his biggest problem in the postseason, isn't his pitching...it's who he facing....the st.louis cardinals are 4 - 0 against him with majority of his ERA is do to them

that team has his number period... plus the team can't give him runs

St. Louis owns L.A. point blank period. They ALWAYS give us problems, buy folks want to throw that out the window. Last year he was 3-0 in the playoffs and should have gotten that start in game 7. Roberts is thinking long term here, right now each of his starters are on five days rest if the trend continues. You want your pitchers a rested as possible, for all the hate he gets Roberts got something right.

It was during the Donnie Baseball Era rite?That didn't help matters either

I still hate the Cards from all those beat downs from the late 2000s. And that one game from like 2013 where they gave Kershaw like 9 runs.

...

This is why I don’t be in any Dodger gamethreads. All the bad playoff memories just keep flooding on back to me.

 

[pete clemenza]

That was one of Kershaw's best playoff pitching performances ever. Probably his best
