Rotation update

Bullpen Update
Tom Koehler the pitcher many hoped would replace the arm of Brandon Morrow had his season flushed when he hurt his right shoulder and will be out a minimum of two months. This will have a trickle down effect on the Dodger bullpen since Koehler was already penciled in as a lock. With Dave Roberts …

October bullpen countdown
The Dodgers have two big decisions to make come October. Who will start game three and game four, and who will make up the October bullpen. The bullpen is so crowded that when I did my breakdown of the Walker Buehler chances I forgot to mention Josh Fields who reminded me tonight how foolish that …

Re-visiting the Rotational guesses
On Feb 17th we made our first guesses on how the rotational starts might be distributed in 2017. When spring training ended we did it again since the information had changed. How did we do? Kershaw has been the rock we expected, never missing a start. Urias ended up being the only casualty in the …
