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 这种时候总仔要他上 他总不能说不想上吧

这是书僮还是樱木花道?

总仔没有要他上啊@@是书僮自己要求的

但其实写名单的是总教练阿...你不写他 他也不能上阿

教练不是说 在季后赛开打之前就有这想法了

是故意要放掉这场 准备排第二轮rotation??

都派Kershaw怎么可能故意放掉 = =

就是对Nolasco信心不够 否则最理想就是Nolasco

这就是因为LAD没有四张ACE.........不过四张ACE在季后赛其实没什么优势

也不是每队都是当年PHI~_~ 就是信心不足

派书僮怎么会认为要放掉这场...这言论真不可思议= =

季后赛只要三张ACE就够了

阵中ace能中三日赢球 哪队教练不想给他上?

而且这调度有考虑到NLCS 如果原本G5书僮 NLCS他只能丢1场

其实不管今天派还是明天派，葛德基第一轮都不会出来了

巨人：季后赛就塞扬先发 赛扬救援 这样最威

万一打到G5 还是Greinke阿

我忘了G5中间还有隔一天，这样只有葛德基的轮值是正常的

这样NLCS Kershaw就是丢G2 G5

歹势一直打错 葛兰基

就算没隔一天，还是Z魔神会上

我打错应该是 NLCS Kershaw G2G6 Greinke G3G7

如果今天赢 就是Greinke NLCS G1G5 Kershaw G2G6

当然如果NLDS被淘汰也不用说了 XD

当然最理想还是推Nolasco然后赢球 但就是教练信心不够

这样的话 如果道奇晋级 G1该不会是柳胖吧?

晋级的话G1，Z魔神应该是打头阵

今天赢G1就是Greinke 打到G5晋级就是G1 Ryu吧@@

LAD的关键就是柳，季赛有2号水准，谁知道季后赛第一次就搞笑

也许是正常能量释放

你都说第一次了 新手在季后赛会搞笑也没什么好讶异的

球落在在K-zone也可以这么生气@@ 漂亮的曲球

柳 毕竟是菜鸟

别忘了以前很多大投手季后都在搞笑 XDDDD

RJ季后赛还七连败

对方都给老贾上了 是握就不敢

不过后话 躲人败掉这场 魔神不也中三 nolasco

主场有这么不堪吗 还被拔

Greinke是中四

魔神中4 因为明天休

Z魔神中四 刚好吃到两个移动日

哦哦 那还有魔神顶着 忘记移动日

不用休啦，大家一起睡到国联冠军战了

开始睡了

红鸟赢的话，就要飞到圣路易 海盗赢的话可以睡更久
