    We know Garcia isn't going to blow them away. I just hope he can locate, and our defense sharpens up.

    I think since he's more of a soft tosser a lot more balls are going to be put in play. I'd bench one of Mac/Gattis, have one play catcher and go with either Schafer or BJ in the outfield.

    You absolutely have to pitch him.

    Mark Bowman is saying that it sounds like the Dodgers are starting Kershaw tonight. He's waiting on confirmation.

    Confirmed: Clayton Kershaw is staring tonight for Los Angeles

    In that case, Medlen needs to be ready to roll if Garcia falters any. I can't say I blame the Dodgers. Nolaso has been awful lately, and Greinke isn't a bad guy to have starting game 5.

    LOL.

    I didn't expect us to win tonight either way. Might as well make it as difficult as possible.

    For whatever it matters, Kershaw has never pitched on short rest

    Seems like it opens the door a bit in a very hypothetical Game 5.

    With a win today the Pirates would win their 1st postseason series since 1979. Every active MLB team has won at least 1 since then.



    Damn. Are we heading toward Pirate territory?

    #Dodgers’ move to Kershaw probably will work - he’s facing #Braves’ Garcia - but history of post-season starters on short rest is NOT good.

    I hope Fredi doesn't look like a total fool tomorrow. Starting Freddy Garcia against Kershaw in an elimination game has the prospects of being a laughable decision.

    Maybe Kershaw falls on his face due to the short rest.

    Crazy damn thing. The team that lead the majors in ERA, suddenly doesn't have the pitching to get through a 5 game series.

    Mattingly is probably thinking he only needs 5 innings from Kershaw, though he's liable to 8.

    Im a die hard Braves fan but at least throwing Kershaw saves me time of watching and staying up late.

    Dumb decision by Mattingly, imo. Nolasco is not bad at all as a #4 guy. No reason to make this move when you're up a game.

    I honestly like our chances better facing Kershaw on short rest and Greinke rather than Nolasco and then a fully rested Kershaw.

    Not saying that our chances are good now, but I personally think this is better.
    thank you weso1!

    This move could end Mattingly's stint as Dodgers manager. The Braves beat Greinke, and throwing Kershaw at us on three days rest could go wrong.


    But they're playing against the Braves. Nothing will go wrong.
