Urias has only thrown 8 innings this post season, but is 2-0. Has a WHIP under 1, 11K's to 1 Walk. Given up 4 hits, and allowed 1 run.

To me, I wonder if he may be on some kind of innings limit/pitch count.
 
Any update on Freeman’s elbow. I see he is playing, but that means very little.

We really need him close to 100%.

I don't follow the Dodgers closely, but my impression from holding May and Urias in a speculative baseball diversion is that the Dodgers don't tend to pitch either one of them deep into games.

I've been saying no Ozuna for a while.

But in this case I'd agree with Slippy. TDA needs a break so his legs can be fresh for mashing. Flowers is a better hitter than Comargo. I don't trust Comargo in the field given his amount of play recently.

Plus I have Acuna and Pache in the OF with Ozuna. Let Ozuna be responsible for a small area and Pache can back him up. Pache has made things look routine that I think even Ronnie might have had to dive for this year.

I just have no faith in Comargo. I would have brought up Contreras.
 
Someone might disagree or have additional legwork, but I did see someone else post on the twitter that Urias is fastball heavy and that whatever else you can say about Camargo he used to really like fastballs.
 
Kyle Wright's last 4 starts: Marlins, Red Sox, Mets, Nationals:

24.3 IP

2.22 ERA

14 hits, 6 runs, 21 K, 8 BB

Normally I would disagree if there were another masher on the bench like Matt Adams (like a RH version of him). For this reason, I wish we had trade for someone like Todd Frazier at the deadline, but I assume money was a big isssue. The alternate option to this lineup is simply to have Flowers bat DH. I really don't think the difference offensively from Flowers to Camargo is significant enough to risk the terrible defense we will receive from Ozuna.

Nah, this is a good defensive lineup. Let's not screw that up.

Oh agreed. Just with Urias today and Kershaw scheduled for tomorrow this would be an ideal opportunity to get TDA a couple days off behind the plate so we can keep his bat in the lineup.
