Clayton Kershaw to Manager Don Mattingly: 'This is the game I want'
Manager Don Mattingly is a circling shark, smelling blood and ready for the
kill.
Mattingly felt the best way to kill off the Atlanta Braves now was to go with
his best. And his best, Clayton Kershaw, wanted the kill.
So on three days rest for the first time in his career, Kershaw will start Game
4 on Monday and try to eliminate the Braves at Dodger Stadium in their National
League Division Series.
Mattingly said they had the idea of coming back with Kershaw in Game 4 long
before the playoffs began and just wanted to make sure he was ready and willing.
“We talked to him last night and basically say, `Hey, Clay, you've got to be
100% sure. We're not going to take any chances with your career,’ ” Mattingly
said. “That is the last thing we'd do.
“And he says all the work I do, everything I go through every start, it's for
this kind of game. So he was the one basically saying, 'This is why I work so
hard. This is the game I want.'”
It’s now a game the Dodgers had better win. If the Dodgers lose, they will
have to start Zack Greinke in a decisive Game 5 Wednesday in Atlanta. Which
means unless they want to start Kershaw on short rest in consecutive starts,
should they win it in five, they would have to start the National League
Championship Series with either passed-over Ricky Nolasco or Hyun-Jin Ryu, who
gave up four runs (corrected) in three innings Sunday.
But Mattingly said having both Kershaw and Greinke helped drive their decision.
“It's like you've got two aces,” he said. “Without Zack being there, I don't
think you make the same decision.
“I think I'd question myself a lot more when you have two aces and if you
don't play them both. We've got two chances if something doesn't work out the
way we want it to tonight, then we're sitting with an ace in Game 5.”
Mattingly said it was a group decision and the focus is less on the effect
starting Kershaw now will have on his potential NLCS rotation and more on
ending the current series right now.
“It's about winning today,” Mattingly said. “Obviously, we know what it does
if we're able to take care of our business tonight. This is not a time to look
ahead. This is a time to take care of your business in one game.”

Mike D'Antoni：你也懂球星的任性？

不意外啊 這種時候總仔要他上 他總不能說不想上吧

這是書僮還是櫻木花道?

總仔沒有要他上啊@@是書僮自己要求的

但其實寫名單的是總教練阿...你不寫他 他也不能上阿

教練不是說 在季後賽開打之前就有這想法了

是故意要放掉這場 準備排第二輪rotation??

都派Kershaw怎麼可能故意放掉 = =

就是對Nolasco信心不夠 否則最理想就是Nolasco

這就是因為LAD沒有四張ACE.........不過四張ACE在季後賽其實沒什麼優勢

也不是每隊都是當年PHI~_~ 就是信心不足

派書僮怎麼會認為要放掉這場...這言論真不可思議= =

季後賽只要三張ACE就夠了

陣中ace能中三日贏球 哪隊教練不想給他上?

而且這調度有考慮到NLCS 如果原本G5書僮 NLCS他只能丟1場

其實不管今天派還是明天派，葛德基第一輪都不會出來了

巨人：季後賽就塞揚先發 賽揚救援 這樣最威

萬一打到G5 還是Greinke阿

我忘了G5中間還有隔一天，這樣只有葛德基的輪值是正常的

這樣NLCS Kershaw就是丟G2 G5

歹勢一直打錯 葛蘭基

就算沒隔一天，還是Z魔神會上

我打錯應該是 NLCS Kershaw G2G6 Greinke G3G7

如果今天贏 就是Greinke NLCS G1G5 Kershaw G2G6

當然如果NLDS被淘汰也不用說了 XD

當然最理想還是推Nolasco然後贏球 但就是教練信心不夠

這樣的話 如果道奇晉級 G1該不會是柳胖吧?

晉級的話G1，Z魔神應該是打頭陣

今天贏G1就是Greinke 打到G5晉級就是G1 Ryu吧@@

LAD的關鍵就是柳，季賽有2號水準，誰知道季後賽第一次就搞笑

也許是正常能量釋放

你都說第一次了 新手在季後賽會搞笑也沒甚麼好訝異的

球落在在K-zone也可以這麼生氣@@ 漂亮的曲球

柳 畢竟是菜鳥

別忘了以前很多大投手季後都在搞笑 XDDDD

RJ季後賽還七連敗

對方都給老賈上了 是握就不敢

不過後話 躲人敗掉這場 魔神不也中三 nolasco

主場有這麼不堪嗎 還被拔

Greinke是中四

魔神中4 因為明天休

Z魔神中四 剛好吃到兩個移動日

哦哦 那還有魔神頂著 忘記移動日

不用休啦，大家一起睡到國聯冠軍戰了

開始睡了

紅鳥贏的話，就要飛到聖路易 海盜贏的話可以睡更久
