JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Well if you are going to lose might as well get crushed and save the good relievers for tomorrow night. Tough decision for Roberts but I don't see how you hold Kershaw back for game 6. There's a very good chance that whoever wins tomorrow night wins the series so why wouldn't you want your best starter on the mound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That all fell apart pretty quickly. Â Seemed the Dodgers needed to trim the lead to at least 5-3 or 5-4 there. Â Momentum shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 01:33 AM) Ballgame....Urias sucked with his location all night They conceded tonight pitching that guy. Their only hope is Kershaw tomorrow then taking their chances of claiming one win somehow in Wrigley. How do those morons who listed the Cubs odds of making the Series at 18 percent entering tonight's game feel now. Stupid. Â They just said Kershaw will pitch Game Six. Dumb. Dodgers only hope is taking a 3-2 series lead. Dodgers aren't going to win this series coming back from 2-3. It's over. Kershaw going Game Six, too late.

Going down 3-2 would put the Dodgers in a critical position whereas the Cubs being down 3-2 would *at least* have home field advantage to come home to.

It's LA's only hope. It would be one of the all time postseason mistakes to not have Kershaw pitch tomorrow. Having him pitch at home, against Lester where perhaps 1 or 2 runs will make a difference, is essential for momentum and the greatest possibility of entering Game 6 up 3-2.

fathom Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Don't think Kershaw going tomorrow. Threw his bullpen session today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Maybe Kershaw is a little tired and needs the extra day rest? Â Either way it's a best of 3 series with both teams best 3 starters on full rest. It should be entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Is Kazmir hurt? He may not be better than Urias, but in a post season game I think I'd rather go with experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He pitched August 22, got hurt, came back on September 23 and left after one inning after re-injuring himself again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having him pitch at home, against Lester where perhaps 1 or 2 runs will make a difference, is essential for momentum and the greatest possibility of entering Game 6 up 3-2. I don't see how, since the Dodgers have to win a game Kershaw doesn't start anyway. I could see the logic if they already had 3 wins and didn't want to let the Cubs get back into it. If Kershaw were to win game 5, the Cubs would still have homefield advantage as well as better starting pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Maybe not the same way but the Dodgers werent going to stop the Cubs from raking in runs last night. Maybe it would have been a little bit closer but in the grand scheme of things being how things played out there wasnt one play that had enough significance that would have changed the outcome. There were a lot of plays that the Cubs made and the Dodgers didnt execute on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/page/playo...ge-knotted-nlcs  Found this quote from a scout interesting:  "They won't beat Kershaw," he said, unequivocally. "And I think they will struggle again with Hill. Anyone who pitches in and changes speeds will have success against the Cubs right now. Any kind of downer breaking ball destroys them."

pettie4sox Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Baseball is a funny sport. Maeda could beat Lester tonight and Kershaw could be beat in game 6. Personally, I hate the cubs and hope they lose hard just because I enjoy watching their bandwagon fans suffer. Joe Buck esque hottake, "These teams control their own destiny."

Â I dont think this is true. I think they will look at it as the next step. They will see that they have progressed further in the playoffs each of the last two years and then next year is when it finally happens. If they lose to the Dodgers I think they would feel much more defeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having a WS game at home would already be amazing to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
