The Dodgers have been without Kershaw, Miller, Buehler, Gonsolin, and May this year! That is an entire all-star level starting rotation. Unreal. Then we have some relievers out. Now, Mookie, arguably, the best player in the league, is out. The Dodgers are blessed with riches, but in order to win the WS, our pitching must be beyond solid. Go Dodgers!!!

[@teejay3272]

Yep. And you can't forget Yamamoto, Grove, Kelly and Sheehan. Muncy being out hasn't helped either. They're picking each other up and still winning games. So maybe after a couple of losses the "Fire Doc" people need to take a breath.

Pretty sure Ohtani is the best player in the league and face of mlb

[@bench-clearingbrawl7737]

Bro mentioned all the old Dodger pitchers that are/were out and forgot about RHP SHOHEI OHTANI!!!!!??????

[@pamelamajor1566]

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu He may be the best in the league and the face of MLB, but this team is built around Mookie. They're picking it up right now, but I think his presence is going to be missed badly.

Kersh. Good luck to YOU!!!!

[@MichaelPascoe-ru3rr]

This is great to see. I can’t wait to see him at dodger stadium on the bump throwing curve balls. 😊

Kershaw's Line: 3.0 Innings Pitched, 2 Hits, 1 Run/Earned, 1 Walk, 5 Strikeouts, 1 Pick-Off

[@bench-clearingbrawl7737]

Rancho Low A is basically pitching against high schoolers. Look at Buehler and Bo Miller -they got rocked by the Rockies. I feel like the Dodgers front office are bringing back injured pitchers way to soon. They need time to heal. Why don’t they just try out what they have in the system. This year basically the whole national league has 99.9999% chance to win the wildcard.

It just dawned on me that Clayton and Mookie share the dislike of answering questions from the media, lol. Based on the questions they get asked, I totally understand. 🙂

[@montilue]

We were at this game! Loved it!

[@Dr_Cole]

Good to see him successful at this critical step back and with his classic nonplus approach to how he’s doing.

[@JL-rd5gn]

so glad he cut off that last 'what does it mean' question

[@ryanbesse6925]

Is there a toy train going in a circle somewhere? What is that sound?

[@Kavie93]

They’re in the laundry room 😂

[@vincent9095]

Anyone know his next outing, sometime next week? I had work today & missed his start 🥲

[@johndurrer7869]

It’s going to be interesting to see who gets sit down. He better not be stoned, he is the one out performing everyone since May. It should be between Miller and Buehler. Miller could actually dominate in the bullpen with his stuff so it wouldn’t make sense to send him to the bullpen if necessary. Bueller’s gonna be awful no matter where he got his stuff just isn’t good enough anymore.

[@johndurrer7869]

Velocity is still way down like it was at the end of last year. He doesn’t need to average 93 or 94 like he did in his prime but he needs to at least average 90 like he did from 2021 until the injury in 2023. Averaging 87 to 88 mph just isn’t gonna work

I know you all love Clayton. I hope he has a successful comeback. However, I can't forget the last time he faced Major League hitters. His Fastball is barely reaching 90. That's a change up in today's game. RIP Say Hey Kid, but KZbin Willie as a Met. Painful to watch. I'm afraid we may be witness to that again. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it

[@frankgarcia5102]

Don't forget the guy was pitching with a bum shoulder cuz he's a competitor
