yeah, the doctors intercepted the contraband but accidentally dropped the book in me during surgery. that's my origin story

sounds like you're saying it was a mott point

Floyd is great, and I'm not just saying that because he sent me a book of puns once when I was in the hospital

out of context Dave Roberts from his pregame scrum earlier: "I got a pretty good gut." I have never related more to a major league manager

The context is that Roberts was gushing about Tarik Skubal, who starts tonight. "He’s different than any player I’ve ever been around. ... This guy is something like I’ve never seen.”

Dodgers called up Charlie Barnes and Seth Halvorsen Kyle Hurt optioned, Jonathan Hernández DFA’d

This is day 4 of 13 game days in a row for Dodgers. Hernández pitched 2 innings yesterday, Hurt pitched each of the last two days This was about bullpen coverage and “protecting the downside,” as Dave Roberts put it

Seth Halvorsen is wearing number 56 with the Dodgers

means Lauer could shift to a bullpen role, which was the plan when they acquired Skubal, but Sheehan forced the issue

Since Shohei Ohtani's last pitching start, on July 3, the Dodgers have had 5 starters plus occasional fill-ins (Cole Irvin) and bullpen games to fill the gaps But with Blake Snell back tomorrow Dodgers will go with 6-man rotation "for now," Dave Roberts said.

When Ohtani is one of the 6 starters, Dodgers can carry 8 relievers, but starting Tuesday they'll have only 7 relievers when using 6 starters “Eric [Lauer] is scheduled for Wednesday," Roberts said. "We’ll kind of get through that, and see where we go from there.”

Dave Roberts said today the plan is for Tyler Glasnow to make two more rehab starts before returning to the Dodgers. Plan is for roughly 4 innings and 60 pitches this week, then 5/75 in his rehab start next week

statute of limitations just passed, good timing on your confession
