^ yeah, May in the bullpen probably works better. Give him a short leash. If he can't find the strike zone that night, just pull him. If he's on, let him go longer.

Since his problem is just being consistent every outing, we can limit that by putting him on a short leash each outing.

He is in a bit of a slump lately. Better get it out of the way now. I hope.

Yep. We got enough pitching options to do that. Our team is so stacked that it's almost unfair. LOL

Some clarity from Dave Roberts this morning on #Dodgers postseason pitching plans:

* Tyler Anderson will likely start postseason games

* The ceiling Tony Gonsolin will be able to get built up to is four innings

* If Dustin May is healthy, a bullpen role is a possibility

4ip of Gonsolin works for me. Let him start.

Gonsolin - 4ip
May - 2ip
Heaney - 1-2ip

That's 7-8ip right there for game 4 of the NLDS. Then, Gonsolin can go 5ip in his next start in the NLCS.

The problem's going to be the NLCS when we might need to go to a 5 man rotation.

Quote:
NLCS Schedule:

10/18 - Game 1 - Urias
10/19 - Game 2 - Kershaw

10/20 - off day

10/21 - Game 3 - Anderson
10/22 - Game 4 - ????
10/23 - Game 5 - ????
10/24 - Game 6 - Urias
10/25 - Game 7 - Kershaw


And this is only possible if we finish off the NLDS in under 5 games. If we have to go to a game 5, that means Urias pitches game 5 and our NLCS rotation is all screwed. Everyone gets pushed up 1.

----------------

If we had to go to a game 5 in the NLDS, it'd look something like this:

NLDS Schedule:

10/11 - Game 1 - Urias

10/16 - Game 5 - Urias

10/17 - off day

10/18 - Game 1 - Kershaw
10/19 - Game 2 - Anderson

10/20 - off day

10/21 - Game 3 - Urias
10/22 - Game 4 - ????
10/23 - Game 5 - Kershaw
10/24 - Game 6 - Anderson
10/25 - Game 7 - Urias (short rest)

Freeman gets a double off a curveball low and slightly away. I don't know how he hit that. The man is a beast.

106 wins. Tied our franchise record and clinched best record in NL.

Michael Grove gets his first win. He went 5 innings and allowed 1 run on 3 hits.
Graterol looked great. Allowed couple of hits but no runs.
Jackson with an impressive 3 inning save.

Doesn't sound like Treinen's coming back during the reg season. Dave Roberts said that if he gets healthy during our week off (for the wild card round), he'll be on the playoff roster when we start the NLDS.

Quote:
So a regular season return seems out of the question for the righty however his October status remains unknown but also not out of the question entirely.


Quote:
Bill Plunkett of the OC Register had asked Dave Roberts about the right-handed pitcher's status for the postseason:

“With Blake, I don’t think there’s a timeline as far as regular-season games,” Roberts said Saturday. “If Blake is ready in our week off, the break before the playoffs, he’ll be on our roster. If he’s ready.”


Quote:

@FabianArdaya

Dave Roberts said he hasn’t seen any activity from Blake Treinen so far today, which he said is “pretty telling” as far as his status. Asked for his level of optimism Treinen can return this year, Roberts said, “Does hopeful suffice?”

Yeah, if we're down to hopes and prayers, that's not a good sign.

IMHO he’s done for the year… If he didn’t heal the last time I don’t see him healing in a few weeks.

I hope not but I think you are right.

Now our only reliable arm to get out of someone else's mess are Phillips and maybe Martin.

Kahnle, Graterol, and Almonte are good but I still don't trust them enough to get out of a jam. Clean inning they can be lights out though.

Kevin Pillar is back in the minors. He's still on the IL on the 40 man roster. Here's a question, do we activate him so that he'd be available for the playoffs as an injury replacement? If we do that, we'd have to cut someone from the 40 man, and I don't know who that would be.

Here's how he's doing in the minors:

Quote:
Kevin Pillar, in just his fourth game back after shoulder surgery in June, had four hits, including a home run and a double, the former his first homer since May 12.


And here are our 19 position players on the 40 man roster (14 on the active roster and 5 in the minors). All should be eligible for the playoffs. Looking at the guys in the minors, the only one who I'd feel comfortable being called up in case of injury is Edwin Rios. Now, Pillar might make sense to be put on the 40 man roster. I just don't know who we'd cut for him.

It's also interesting that we don't have another catcher on the 40 man roster. Should one of Smith or Barnes get hurt, we'd only have one catcher for the rest of the playoffs.

Quote:
Catchers:
1) Barnes
2) Smith

Infielders:
3) Alberto
4) Freeman
5) Gavin Lux
6) Muncy
7) Trea Turner
8) Justin Turner
9) Vargas

Outfielders:
10) Bellinger
11) Betts
12) Gallo
13) Chris Taylor
14) Trayce Thompson

Minors:
1) Jacob Amaya
2) Eddys Leonard
3) Jorbit Vivas
4) Outman
5) Edwin Rios

Injury List (IL):
6) Pillar

NLDS starts Oct 11. Dustin May won't come off the IL until Oct 6:

Quote:
Juan Toribio
@juanctoribio

If I'm doing the math correctly, Dustin May's won't be eligible to return from the IL until Oct. 6, meaning his regular season is over. He can pitch in the postseason, if healthy.

5:05 PM · Sep 24, 2022


Quote:
The timing of the IL stint means he won't be eligible to return until the start of the postseason.

---------------

In a bit of good news, early reports say that May's lower back issue shouldn't be too serious and he could be available for the NLDS which starts on October 11th. Other good news is that the injury doesn't involve his surgically repaired right elbow, which caused him to be pushed back a day last week.

Dodgers Make MLB History With 106 Wins In 3 Consecutive Full Seasons

The Dodgers previously had 106 wins in the 2019 and 2021 seasons, making this the third straight full season the team has reached that mark. The 2020 season was shortened to 60 games due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, however, it was the only time in franchise history the team posted a winning percentage of .700 or higher.

With three consecutive full seasons of 106 wins, the Dodgers are the first team in MLB history to accomplish that feat. “It’s amazing,” Roberts said.

“I didn’t realize that. You’re looking at almost 200 years of baseball, speaks to the consistency, excellence and standard that we’ve set here at the Dodgers. It takes a lot of people to accomplish what we’ve done over parts of the last four years. There’s a lot of people that deserve the credit.”


This is amazing. Add to that that our 2020 team probably wins more than 106 games as well. So we can say 4 straight seasons of 106 wins or better.

Yeah, the pressure is definitely on to win another ring if you're this dominant in the regular season.

We really need this WS win to legitimize the past 10 years of dominance. Also I want a Dodgers parade damn it.

Honestly, we had too many guys who underperformed in the playoffs compared to their reg season numbers.

Pretty much only Justin Turner was a consistent playoff performer year after year. He only had 1 bad year, which was last yr.

For example, we've had a superstar at SS since 2015 (from Seager to Machado to Turner). These are the playoff OPS for each year:

Quote:
2015 - Seager - .485
2016 - Seager - .619
2017 - Seager - .743
2018 - Machado - .672
2019 - Seager - .390
2020 - Seager - 1.171
2021 - Seager - .639
2021 - Trea Turner - .500


That's 8 seasons. 1 great yr; 1 ok yr, and 6 bad years. Most of these years, these guys were our best players or close to it. So it's no secret why we've only had 1 ring.

Look at two our former Dodger favorites:

https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/joc-pederson-career-postseason-stats

https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/enrique-hernandez-career-postseason-stats

Joc/Kike’ had some amazing runs. Joc was more consistent in the playoffs but Kike’ went nuclear in quite a few of them himself.

-
deGrom looks mortal lately.

- their bullpen struggles

- the Braves have better righty batters I think (Riley, Acuna, Swanson, whoever else)

- the Mets are just struggling. There’s a good chance they lose in the WC rd. At the very least it should go 3.

- I’d rather avoid the hotter team

- Alonso’s been better vs righties:

.873 ops, 30 HR, 435 AB vs righty
.858 ops, 9 HR, 139 AB vs lefty

- Lindor’s been even
.803 ops. 9 HR, 181 AB vs lefty
.801 ops, 16 HR, 416 AB vs righty

I expect nothing better from our SS this year in the playoffs either. Hope I’m wrong but TT is in peak playoff form right now. I’d be giddy if he can even squeak out an ops of .700

These teams could be tied by the end of tonight with 7 games to play (plus 3 against each other in ATL). Going to be an exciting finish.

Atlanta's rotation scares me.


Mets rotation plus Lindor and Alfonso feasting off our all LH starting pitching scares me a lot more.


-
deGrom looks mortal lately.

- their bullpen struggles

- the Braves have better righty batters I think (Riley, Acuna, Swanson, whoever else)

- the Mets are just struggling. There’s a good chance they lose in the WC rd. At the very least it should go 3.

- I’d rather avoid the hotter team

- Alonso’s been better vs righties:

.873 ops, 30 HR, 435 AB vs righty
.858 ops, 9 HR, 139 AB vs lefty

- Lindor’s been even
.803 ops. 9 HR, 181 AB vs lefty
.801 ops, 16 HR, 416 AB vs righty


At least no cinderella team this year. Everyone is where they are at. No team is going on a crazy run to end the season. Those are the teams that scare me. Like the nationals in 19 and braves last year.
