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

    I think so

    Kershaw, darvish, wood, (possibly ryu)

    With Watson and cingrani to an already lockdown bullpen.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    Kershaw/darvish

    Vs

    Strasburg/scherzer


    Is a heavyweight fight

    Bullpens aren't equal though

    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

    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.

    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

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

    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

    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

    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
