So the dodgers just got darvish can we crown them world champs!??

You can make them the heavy favorite, but anything can happen in a short series.

teaserpleaser · 07-31-17, 03:25 PM

That starting pitching

+

That lineup top to bottom there are no auto outs

+

That bullpen is lockdown

= championship

Bring on the Yankees or astros
Most likely yankees

unde0087 · 07-31-17, 03:26 PM

Dodgers won't even make the WS

teaserpleaser · 07-31-17, 03:27 PM

I need to find out when yu first home start

May actually go back to LA for that.

Can't wait for when yu is -400 with the dodgers

Otters27 · 07-31-17, 03:27 PM

Going to be tough to beat them at home

Nationals will be a test but I'm confident this is the year.

themike78 · 07-31-17, 03:28 PM

Yankees win it all this year and probably next 6 or 7 years. Dodgers don't know how to win in playoffs. Kershaw chokes every year.

darrell74 · 07-31-17, 03:28 PM

No

If Dodgers win, this isn't the reason why

Well if it comes down to the Nationals and the Dodgers to see who goes then Dodgers may have a shot. Between those two there isn't a favorite on which team is bigger at choking themselves to sleep in the playoffs. They both play well until it really matters then the mediocre play begins.

teaserpleaser · 07-31-17, 03:30 PM

Kershaw/darvish

Vs

Strasburg/scherzer

Is a heavyweight fight

Bullpens aren't equal though

funnyb25 · 07-31-17, 03:30 PM

They still have Kershaw...No way they make it...

If it's anybody but the NAts I really like the dodgers chances .... nl central is down this year. Not the same cubs cards can't score and Martinez, Lynn, wainwright don't scare me. Pirates no brewers no

Did he choke last year can't remember think he did ok

MaddyMax · 07-31-17, 03:35 PM

kershaw back sucks, he sucks in playoffs. darvish not good as everyone makes it out to be. wood will be gassed out by play offs. their hitting has been good but is already cooling down. dodgers has nice bullpen and that is one of the main reason they are doing well. i would wouldn't be surprised if they don't win nl. cubs can still beat them. washington is also a threat.

unde0087 · 07-31-17, 03:35 PM

good luck to you teaser, but I think an AL team will win

His back is fine he was throwing heat yesterday practicing. They're just playing it safe and resting him for the playoffs.

Dude on MLB network made a good point

This year Kershaw shouldn't have the pressure of having to pitch in short rest in series anymore with darvish and wood

Fade kershaw In the playoffs if you want I wouldn't but good luck

Gray, severino, cc or Montgomery + that bullpen isn't bad

They have a shot

beavis13 · 07-31-17, 03:54 PM

I think the Yankees got the better pitcher. Cheaper, younger and I think he's under contract for a lot longer.

Way better for sure. Cooler and calm.

saints1856 · 07-31-17, 03:56 PM

As a Ranger fan, the only hope is that they can sign him after the year. My guess he wants to stay on West coast

jjgold · 07-31-17, 03:56 PM

Yes it's over

Possibly

But darvish can be down right dominate when he's right. Gray is great but I'd rather have darvish and winning this year.

Worry about later

Later.

Wouldn't argue with the worry about later thing except I think they are really close in talent. Why not get the younger cheaper guy. And until the dodgers do anything postseason, I'll believe it when I see it.

I watch games and I've watched a lot of both I don't know stats.

But I'd take darvish gray is great but I don't think he's yu darvish.

Darvish can be unhittable at times

Gray not really he's solid

funnyb25 · 07-31-17, 04:35 PM

Yanks need to figure out what they are going to do with all of their 5.50 era starters...

They got like 7 of them now...Bulpen?

Gray doesn't have the stuff he use to have prior to the inury, as for Darvish he's got about 8 different pitches that are unhittable if he's on his game
