Buehler is a launching pad rn. Kershaw isn’t dependable in the playoffs. Love Mookie but we needed Cole not another bat.
Combine that with Dave Roberts being inept, I’m concerned.

Im not worried about Buehler. Too early. He’s been very solid in the playoffs so far in his career too.
Yeah, I don’t have a ton of faith in Roberts in the playoffs.
Kershaw certainly has to own his struggles, but both his managers have done him no favors too many times in the playoffs. Pitching him on short rest, bringing him out of the pen, etc...not everybody is built to be used like that.

Ya it looked bad when it happened. Tough break for the Braves he's a good pitcher.
I think they need to trade for a starter.

The first round, which is best 2 out of 3 series, will randomize everything. Then it is followed by only slightly less random best 3 out of 5 series. The chances for the best teams winning the World Series have never been worse.

Not surprised. That's what it looked like when it happened. How long does that usually put you out for? I'm thinking it would be too optimistic that he would be ready to go to start next season?
6-9 months for a torn Achilles.
It isn’t 12 months like a ACL to regain full strength.
He should be back by June 2021 IMO with perfect rehab maybe May.

No way 6 months for an achilles.
Kevin Durant has a long road back from Achilles injury, but his ability bodes well
Kevin Durant, who will miss all of next season, has a long road ahead recuperating from a ruptured Achilles tendon.
www.usatoday.com
The rehabilitation will be rigorous and take between nine and 12 months. Durant can expect to wear a cast or walking boot for six to 12 weeks. While the Achilles tendon in his right leg heals, his leg muscle will weaken.
HOFCeluck and DMDMD could probably give us actual info. I've heard 12-18 months for most of us weekend warriors, but up to a year for the professional athlete.

I may have jumped the gun on that. Zach Britton ruptured his in December 2017, and was back pitching in June 2018.
My bad.

I wouldn't do any "win-now" trades this year. Stick with whatever you have.
1. We don't even know if the season will end.
2. The playoffs with 16 teams, and 2 of 3 series, will be a total crapshoot.
3. Even if the season does end, of all the sports, the MLB season seems to be the biggest joke and asterisk season of them all -- I see the winner this year as totally illegitimate in MLB ... unlike the NBA or NHL.
Win now trades seem to be a real losing proposition this year.

So the Dodgers are +29 on run differential with a 7-4 record.
When they win are they just clubbing the other team or what?

Stop being selfish and hope the season gets cancelled. I like to know who your team is. The point is the season will continue and a world series will be played.

Caring about public health (i.e., people's lives) more than baseball is definitely selfish.

It's not when it's not a public health risk when your dealing with pro athletes who are not in that vulnerable demographic. They were all given the option to opt out of the season. Btw how bout giving the baseball fan who has been deprived off any sports for 4 and half months before baseball started back up who might be out of work because of this pandemic or maybe lost or on the verge of losing their business or the person dealing with covid health wise themself our a family member or friend but watching a baseball game on tv takes their mind off whatever they might be dealing with. Then call me selfish then.
