It's money time.

His K/W ratio is substantially better with the Dodgers than it was here.

There was an adjustment to his delivery that was made after he arrived there. From what I've read, that they were able to notice it and make the necessary adjustment could tip things in the Dodgers favor when meeting with teams.

And it doesn't hurt he gets to see a pitcher a couple of times a game either.

But if they noticed something, and corrected it, sounds to me it would very much put them in the drivers seat, plus it would make Brocail look awfully poor.

FWIW, I've also read that he has also been somewhat resistant to their preferred pitch selection, similar to how he was with the Rangers.

Another scenario where old Brocail looks bad.

I’ve always thought we could and should do better. Maddox was better than Brocail. I wish we could bring in new hitting and pitching coaches, but I suspect that Elvis’s break out year saved Iapoce.

Darvish thinks his fastball is third best pitch and has no confidence in it. Dodgers decided not to push it and told him to throw what he wanted too.

Good choice I think. Yu knows what is best on any given game.

Almost game time. Pulling for Crawler's Yanks but have serious doubts

 

[DT LUNA]

ALCS....Good stuff.

Crawlers yanks?

I’m rooting for them out of desperation. Anyone but those damn Astros PLEASE

Love the guy, but he could be stubborn about that stuff. When you have a Ferrari, you take it out on the freeway.

Depends on the year and availability

Their are some classics that I’d leave in the garage for “ show and tell” purposes only. I’d never want to be “ that guy” who totaled an extremely rare almost one of a kind car.

Don’t look now but the “ crawler” yanks might be able to use their band box ballpark to get back into the series.

Do I think they can win the series? Not a chance

Going OK so far.

Going OK so far.

Only with the Crawlers help.

Hey look, Aaron Judge finally showed up.

 

[Nightcrawler]

At least the yanks won’t get swept.

Might force the Astros to use Keuchel / verlander again. Could be a factor in the World Series because the Astros rotation is not nearly as deep as the dodgers.

Darvish is the #3 pitcher for LAD that’s some crazy ass depth
