I was ok with it. Putting aside the analytics around it (which are real!), remember Julio has thrown way more innings than he ever has in his career. Assuming Scherzer can go in game one, both Walker and Julio would be starting the next two games on normal rest having thrown only 70-75 pitches in their last outings.
The biggest thing I didn't understand from the game was why Will called 6 straight fastballs against Ruf leading up to the HR. I was telling my daughter, hes throwing a breaking ball right her right, from the 4th pitch on in that AB. Ruf has annihilated fast balls all year, and we played right into their hands on that one. I also disagreed with the bunt...I know why they did it, because CT3 Ks alot, but I think you gotta roll the dice right there.
Overall, what a job done by Roberts!! And how about Cody sticking with it, through such a horrible, injury plagued season? One of the most satisfying Dodger playoff series wins of my lifetime (I'm almost 50). Hopefully they're going to finish the deal! GO DODGERS!!
