The more I listen to Hershiser, the more I’m convinced they’ll go with a bullpen game tomorrow.
I think a bullpen game tomorrow would be insane. Yes, if they lose tomorrow they'd have a bullpen game for the wild card game but if they won tomorrow they wouldn't play again until Thursday and could go right into the regular rotation. This seems like the easiest decision possible to me.

LOL, wait, does that mean you haven’t been through with them up to this point?
Yeah, FO has it's merits & Roberts is a fine clubhouse guy. Hate the field managing. Letting Roberts go depends on his replacement. I'm sure there are worse options. Ideally I'd like a better strategist to co-manage, but that would never happen.

I fully agree with you. But knowing the thought process of the FO/Roberts, a bullpen game seems like something they’d lean towards.

One last gasp for Roberts to get his pet Chicken Strip another start if true.

LOL Roberts. Every position player out of the game now EXCEPT the MVP. Roberts dubbed him the 2018 MVP last night during the clinching celebration.

I can't stand listening to their Sunday announcing team. I hope they aren't they ones but expect they are. Another episode of the ARod show.
They're horrible but the worst thing about it is that the Dodgers almost ALWAYS SUCK on ESPN. So, facing Marquez & on ESPN is a double whammy.
