  1. Wow!!!  Just wow!  Couldn’t be more excited for him and for the Dodgers!  What better team to give him the start against than the Mets and their vaunted rotation?  Gonna be so exciting to watch!!!!!!!!

  2. yarritsblake  Great for the kid, but that is a tough line up, and this is not AAA. He will be on a strict pitch count, so 5 innings probably max, and then this great bullpen gets the game…..

  3. Michael Norris yarritsblake Mike, I think that he should have been used out of the bullpen before starting. I wouldn’t want him making his first start in NY. Sure it could be a big success, but weigh that against a bad outing because of that pressure. I would weigh on the caution side. This desperate team might wind up putting him in a position to lose confidence. Now, all of a sudden they are willing to break their previous do’s and don’ts.

  4. Robert Hamilton  Michael Norris yarritsblake  Well that was originally the plan, but with Wood hurt they needed an emergency start. I think that he will go no more than 5. Hopefully he has better luck than Lee….

  5. The first sign of panic. Management is in a desperation mode now! Love this kid but give him a few relief appearances first. Thus could reply screw him up. Don’t think he is ready to start

  6. Very few kids don’t get messed up.  More likely, they just weren’t as phenomenal as the hype.  The major leagues are special.  Bob Feller did great as does Bryce Harper.  What kind of a silly name for a kid us that?  Bryce?!
