Once again proving how brain-dead he is as a manager. You don't bring back Kershaw on three days rest after throwing 124 pitches when you are LEADING the series. It would have been a luxury having the Cy Young winner available for potential Game 5 well rested, I don't care that the game would be in Atlanta. Now what if Kershaw does not have his best stuff tonight, which would certainly be understandable considering he has never started on three days rest before? Then, Greinke would be candidate for another nervous breakdown before Game 5 on the road.

#2LT it's the right move. You end it now with the best pitcher in baseball. Stop obsessing over pitch counts.Comment -

#4not sure what he is thinking here. Is it because he doesn't trust Nolasco? Theirs very little that can explain why he is doing such thing. I guess he wants to have both of his top pitchers pitch 2 games in the seriesComment -

#5I agree, if this backfires today, Braves are winning the series. Unnecessary risk with Freddie Garcia on the mound. You end it today without Kershaw and you have him well rested for game 1 of a 7 game series. Braves win today against Nolasco and they likely aren't beating Kershaw rested even in Atlanta.Comment -

#13Couldn't Agree More LT. Don't See Any Other Team Doing This. Kershaw Threw More Pitches Then Any Other Starter This Postseason. BRing Him Back On ShOrt Rest Bad Move. If They Were DowN 2-1 I Could See it.Comment -

#15lt makes an excellent point.
pitching kershaw at 80-90% full strength reeks of desperation in an otherwise non-desperation situation. if they lose, they are in big trouble for game 5. kershaw is actually just 8-6 at dodger stadium so he isn't as unbeatable as some think.
if this move backfires, mattingly will be fired.Comment -

#20Kershaw has pitched on 3 days rest before but he didnt start, it was in relief.
Plus all these guys are on steroids or some other performance enhancers, 3 days rest is nothing these daysComment -
