TODAY: Walker vs. Rich Hill (soft-tossing lefty, but he's struggled since trade)
TUESDAY: Lorenzen vs. Pedro Avila (rookie who was awful at Triple-A but has been decent in 30 IP this year in MLB)
WEDNESDAY: Wheeler vs. Wacha (great FA signing; ERA under 3.00)

Urias charged with domestic violence

If true - hope to never see him in MLB again

He hasn't pitched well this year, but is probably in their playoff rotation.

What's their top 4?
-- Kershaw
-- Bobby Miller
-- Lance Lynn
-- Emmett Sheehan??

They'll have Walker Buehler back for October, but no way his arm can handle anything beyond relief appearances.

Starting pitcher-wise, there's also Blake Snell, Sonny Gray, Lucas Giolito, Jack Flaherty, Jordan Montgomery and Clevinger. Probably 50-50 that one of those guys is on the 2024 Phillies.

My error - taking an article I read and not checking on it. I am editing my post. Snell & Gray will get paid
Pass on Clevinger
Flaherty/Giolito if either can be gotten for a reasonable cost may be worth a gamble as a reclamation project

As for the Dodgers. Their starting pitching would be a big concern for them for the playoffs

It's a shame

Walker was so good in June and now he just struggles. You need 8+ to win when he pitches

Thrilled to be up 8-1

However, that is 2 straight innings that they had a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs and did not score them

Hopefully won't matter, but I still remember that game when they were up 7 in AZ about a year ago and blew it. I hate seeing missed opportunities to add on
