.........and Kershaw knows it which is why he will NOT "opt out" of the last 2 years of his deal. If he does he is GONE - and he knows it. He stays, gets his $35M-ish/year for 2 more years. If he think he is getting a 5-year deal after that - good luck. Some stupid team might offer it but not the Doyers. After 2020 I can see LA giving him a 2-3 year deal for maybe $35M but nothing more then it is up to him to decide what to do.
Buehler is clearly #1 although Kershaw will start Opening Day 2019

Smartest thing Roberts could have done, sure there were some long talks about the change in the guard.

First-ballot Hall of Famer not what he once was but he's still pretty damn good.
Pinnacle opened Kershaw -202 in Game 2 versus Atlanta's Sanchez.
Current price : Kershaw -222.

Wish I had a bad back....he was absolutely lights out tonight...
Good to see Kershaw stick it up Railbird’s ass....

Great to see Sandy Koufax at both games....
The questions should not be about Clayton Kershaw but rather another ace pitcher who shares Kershaw's initials: Corey Kluber.
He has been awful in his last four postseason starts.
Kershaw's WHIP over his last six postseason starts is 0.78.

Have to believe he sticks to the process. I'd say no Clayton game 1.

You think Dodger Blue makes a serious effort to keep Manny.

Kershaw is slated to start game 1 of the NLCS.

I don't see how they can. IF they keep him they have Seager and Manny on the left side. I guess they could move Turner to 2nd since he has played there before and he does only have 1 year left on his deal he could be moved but I doubt he would be moved. Dodgers GM and management are not fans of big money/long-term deals and it will almost certainly take at least 5/$150+ to keep him and that is on the very conservative side of things and most likely we are looking at something like 7/$250M and I just don't see the Dodgers doing that

I think Philly overpays to get MM.

Leading off today, interesting, Roberts living rent free in Claytons head.

It's really all up to Jensen re Dodgers future.....Maeda looks like the set-up guy. Stripling on the NLCS roster, can be good mid relief assuming they've corrected the issue with him tipping pitches. I think the big price in MILW series is warranted. If you look at the runs metrics they should have won 10-13 more games with their underlying stats. Huge. Can they live up to expectations again? Who knows.

Mil reminds me of Cleveland a couple of years ago. The biggest concern Mil has is the SP not going deep and they burn out the BP. If they beat LA, I’ll be on the AL, factoring in a fatigued BP as the series goes along.

Speaking of tipping pitches, it's now coming out that Severino was tipping his pitches against the Red Sox
Too bad the AL is so highly-regarded in the betting marketplace.

I think it has to be because they will have home field advantage, unless you think a lot of Mouskakis. That pickup looks pretty good now.

they are not built to win in October, only the Astros are

It came down to a one game last year....Astros won, LAD lost. Your conclusion is HOU is built for playoffs LA not based on one game?! Logic is not your strong suit.
Kersh laboring. What you gonna do, Roberts?

As long as he is with the Dodgers, he will likely never be the ace to begin a playoff series. PERIOD.
Darvish was the sole reason the Dodgers didn't win last season.

TYVM Morgan William!!!
NO HE WAS NOT!
If Kenley holds the lead in T9 of G2 OR Dodgers (and Kershaw) don't blow massive G5 leads...........series ends in 6 and Darvish never gets the chance to implode. And look at Doyers hitting (more fitting: Failures) with RISP in G7. That hurt, too
Darvish did not help but he was not the SOLE reason Doyers did not win the WS
winkyduck
TYVM Morgan William!!!
We agree on that
BUT
I am saying NEVER should have gone to G7. Dodgers should have won it in G6.

Game 2
Dodgers led 3-1 in T8 and he inherited runners on and let a run score then gave up a tying HR in T9 to tie. Dodgers win that game they win the series in 6 and no one cares about Darvish in 7 because that game never happens
Just like it is CHICKENSHIT to blame Bartman for G6 of 2003 NLCS. How about blaming Dusty for not having anyone warming up in the Pen when Prior was on 120+ pitches.
AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME.........I have NO IDEA how Alex Gonzalez escaped blame. A PERFECT 6-4-3 DP was hit to him with the score 3-1. He booted it. IF he turns the DP Cubs leave the inning up 3-1 and win and NO ONE KNOWS OR CARES ABOUT BARTMAN!
Bartman only did what others would have done and did. If that ball is hit 5 feet shorter or further Bartman never gets the ball - someone else does and is scorned. Bartman getting blamed is disgusting and pathetic

Even for someone like Rail this is an all-time new low. Then again knowing who he supports for POTUS - no real shock
