Does Jansen do six-out saves regularly? Do the Dodgers not have another go-to bullpen guy?

Kershaw pitching a CG wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for the Cubs I mean dude's arm has to get tired sometime on short rest


Right?
The guy apparently never tires out.

Literally the Cubs' best chance against him this series is for his back to flare back up.

Oh it is Jansen. It really looked like Kershaw was getting ready to head back out there when they went to commercial.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
The Dodgers bullpen has failed Kershaw time and time again in the playoffs.

And I never trust a closer in any inning but the 9th+ with a lead.

It's pretty impressive we made it this far into the postseason given how a majority of the offense has disappeared.

I'm not quite sure what offense you were expecting against Kershaw and Jansen, even if the Cubs were on fire.
