    So what are we thinking... Kershaw starts game 5 and ready for a long bullpen outing if needed in game 7? Or does he start games 4 (on 2 days rest again) & 7?

    I think they're going to try and ride Kershaw until his arm falls off, and I don't blame them. If he keeps saying he's good to go, then why would they change a thing? I personally don't think there's a chance in hell that he throws game 4.

    I like:

    Fowler - CF
    Bryant - 3B
    Rizzo - 1B
    Zobrist - RF
    Soler - LF
    Contreras - C
    Baez - 2B
    Russell - SS
    Arrieta - P

    This gets the lefty bats of J-Hey and Miggy out of the lineup. "ACE" may want Montero behind the plate, but I think Contreras provides us a better chance to score runs. And he can really frame pitches too.

    I like that lineup. Russell definitely needs moved down until he hits the damn ball. I don't care if he had 96 RBI in the regular season, he ain't doing a fucking thing in the playoffs. Rizzo probably needs moved around, too. Where, I don't know. Switch him and Zobrist. Might be more comfortable in the cleanup spot.

    Besides, Russell did his most damage at the end of the lineup. I don't think you move Rizzo. Don't want to shake up too much quite yet.

    Thoughts on the lineup tonight? I like that we moved Zobrist ahead of Rizzo.

    I'm okay with it though I'd rather see Contreras instead of Montero. That would allow Russell to then bat 8 (or 9 with Arrieta batting 8). If Jake is the "7 year ace" he thinks he is, then having Contreras catch over Montero would be no big deal.

    Because being tied 1-1 has us all a little nervous even though it's okay that were tied 1-1. The playoffs are moving so slow and we just want a few more games to be completed. We just want to know the outcome of this series and it's taking forever!

    Honestly, there's been a couple head-scratcher called strikes, but Rich Hill isn't on his game and we need to get the fucking bat off our shoulder. Way too many pipe shots taken.
