I'm suspecting that Greinke was a combination of the park, which we all suspected would impact him, and nagging injuries for most of the season. Maybe something will come out, maybe not..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Originally posted by eldiablo505I think if they land on 92 wins exactly it's a tie and neither of us wins. Guess I should check that.
But yeah, the Dodgers set the all-time record for most players on the disabled list this year. 70-some of their games have been started by rookies. Ross freakin' Stripling has the 4th most IP on the team. That they easily won the division and will be winning 90-odd games is a testament to the fantastic way that this team is being constructed, imo. Future is looking really bright even as they enter into the playoffs. I'm pretty happy."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

"Brian Wilson is hoping to pitch again as a knuckleballer.
This is exactly as odd as it sounds. Wilson -- who once consistently sat his fastball in the mid-to-high 90's -- has not pitched in the majors since 2014. He tinkered with a knuckleball on the side during his big-league career, though, and has been honing the pitch in the interim. On Wednesday, he threw a 30-pitch bullpen mostly consisting of knuckleballs and within the last month, he has thrown for "at least two teams," according to Yahoo Sports' Tim Brown. Wilson turns 35 in March. It's a longshot that he makes a major league bullpen via his flutterball prowess, but late career renaissances with the pitch are not impossible. Look no further than R.A. Dickey, who only began throwing it when he was in the vicinity of 30 years old.

Anyone else worried about all of these injections that Justin Turner suddenly needs in his left knee this spring? The Dodgers are saying that it is just maintenance. But, given his injury history and age it could be a precursor of things to come.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Starting rotation right now looks like:
Kershaw
Hill
Maeda
McCarthy
Wood
Ryu's looking pretty good but they might hold him back a little bit to make sure he's all the way back. Kazmir seems assured to start on the DL to work out his issues and Urias's innings will be managed by minor league stints and probably staying back at extended spring training.

Hill came back pretty quick from his blister problem... and had to leave the game today in the 4th because it wasn't really healed. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a real DL stint next.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
