Finally, this stretch of 20 games in 20 days is coming to an end. Unfortunately, not only have players been getting banged up due to this stretch (e.g. Gonzalez with back tightness), the Dodgers just won a 17 game affair that is going to result in some big time roster moves.
It's all laid out here:
Ross Stripling pitching in relief has roster ramifications for Dodgers
Problem areas:
Stripling can't start Tuesday (pitched in extra innings Sunday)
Ellis can't catch Monday (caught all 17 effing innings Sunday)
Grandal is still a little iffy health-wise, but not quite bad enough for the DL (or is he?).
Basically, the Dodgers need to call up a starter and maybe a catcher (Barnes). Calling up Barnes means putting Grandal on the DL (or optioning a reliever and having 3 catchers *cough Tsao cough*), so either Yaz is healthy or he's not.
For the starter, it's a bit trickier. The go-to names on the 40 man - Lee, Frias, Thomas - are not on schedule to pitch Tuesday and Bolsinger can pitch but he just got optioned so needs to stay down for 10 days unless someone gets sent down with an injury (*cough Tsao cough*).
It'll be interesting to see what happens. Tsao is probably gone though.
Your probable pitchers:
Monday: Clayton ThankFuckingGod Kershaw versus I don't really care (Brandon Finnegan)
Tuesday: Sam LeCure or somebody versus TBD
Wednesday: Scott Kazmir versus Dan Straily
I've got 20 bucks that Kike has a big game on Monday.
PS - No, Urias can't go on Tuesday.
PPS - Of all the players in the world it's BJ Upton that has Kenley's number? WTF?
