Ohtani in the outfield during the postseason?
https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohta...-in-postseason
Love the Dodgers or hate the Dodgers, but when you have a guy with 3 (and probably soon to be 4) MVP awards publicly saying he's willing to play anywhere on the field to help his team win, it's a powerful statement. It wouldn't surprise me if this guy has been shagging fly balls late at night all season long just to be prepared for the 0.1% chance he's gotta play right field in the top of the 10th inning of Game 7 of the World Series. |
I could see him gunning out base runners Rck Ankiel style
|
Why would you want a cold outfielder for game 7? He hasn’t played all year what kind of play can you expect him to make that your every day outfielder won’t?
|
Dave Roberts just doesn't have that Joe Maddon in him.

A question for Dodgers fans: Bottom of the 9th, Game 7 of the World Series, up by 1. Top of the lineup due up for your opponent. Who do want on the hill, Tanner Scott or Shohei Ohtani?

Roberts always gets way too cute with his bullpen. If he's smart he will turn whichever starters aren't starting into bulk/long relievers in the playoffs.
|
the amount of times in the last month the Dodgers starters have allowed 5 hits or less (with a couple of no-hit bids thrown in) and no runs and left with a multi run lead only for the Dodgers to lose is mind-blowing. Their starting pitching has been off the hook for weeks now and they're still only playing .500 ball

Bullpen adventure again in the bottom of the 8th....

Kershaw warming up in the bullpen
|
Kershaw worked out for them this time, but generally speaking I'm not fond of him out of the bullpen. Without looking at his splits I feel like the first inning is always his worst inning. Out of the bullpen that's a scary proposition.
Edit: Just checked out the splits. The first inning is his worst inning in terms of ERA with only the 6th inning being close. Making a case that pulling good starters is dumb the 7th 8th and 9th innings his ERA is under 2.30 for all three. So much for not letting hitters see your starter a third time. |
They just have so many starters. If I had to guess, it will be Snell, Ohtani, Glasnow and Yama as their starters with everyone else in the pen.
|
Kershaw started today and will not be on the wild card series roster according to an article I just read. If Dodgers lose to the Reds, his career would be over.
