Gos... getting taken out.
But at least no runs for them in that inning.

I'm wondering if Roberts didn't screw up not starting Buehler. He went with a bullpen game and it didn't work. The problem with that is, when you use so many pitchers you're risking that sooner or later one of those guys is off that game. If Buehler starts Wednesday he's available sooner if the series goes 6 or 7 games. If he pitches 5 or 6 innings tonight he likely won't be available till game 7.
I imagine Kershaw goes game 5 on Sunday. How available would he be by Wednesday? This is not the same Kershaw you can bring in for a couple innings and expect a dominating performance. It didn't work last year in game 5 with the Nationals. Someone besides Kershaw and Buehler is gonna have to step up. We can't expect the rookie May to be on his game. Urias, I'm looking at you.

I like the g2 bullpen idea. I don’t however like how the Dodgers are messing with two young pitchers. Neithe May nor Gonsolin know what the expectations are. Neither starts or relieves on a regular basis and Howe have a quick hook with both.
I do like though giving Buehler the rest to start G3. Now we can bring him back for G7 on good rest to star if needed. More so though I love having Buehler, Uriah’s and Kershaw the next three games in a 1-1 series. Especially good to have Walker tonight be Morton, this should be a low scoring game with two rested aces.

It was worth a shot to give Jansen a chance to close it like he used to. Now we know he doesn't have it anymore. Problem is, who does? Baez was fairly reliable and he gave up 2 HR's. They didn't give Treinen a chance to work out of the two on jam. So they don't trust him. This series is going 7 if Kershaw pitches like he did game 1. They won't win the bullpen game after that one. At least Buehler will be ready game 7.
I was down on them right after game thinking they blew the series last night. But we did beat two of their 3 best pitchers. Which is who we will face the next 3 games. My only concern is who they can trust out of the bullpen tonight. Urias can close game 7. But we have to win tonight to get there. We won't win game 6 using the bullpen to start.
