Thanks Dee we'll take it.

edit- Okay whatever else happens lets get Kershaw to at least 80 pitches this inning.

But all he does is throws strikes!

He could easily do two in under 115. Don would still ride him for two even if he somehow goes over though.

I would let Kershaw start the 7th but have someone Kenley warming in the pen already. Real quick hook if he struggles at all.

I predict Donnie will either send him out in the 7th and wait too long to warm anyone else up, or just start the inning with someone else.

Unless Kershaw somehow takes a ball to the face, I don't see him not coming out to start the inning.

Was terrible forever, was a surprise pickup in 2011 where he was amazing for some reason. Pretty good in 2012 and the ace of that post. Dogshit in 2013 where he broke his hand. Average now.
