Totally disagree. Forcing Kershaw to throw 27 pitches after their starters have gone 4.1 and 3 innings in consecutive days is HUGE. More runs would have been nice but I'd rather have one run on 27 pitches than two runs on 15 given that we have no clue what Ross can give us today.
When Harper blew a bubble at 2B, was he passing on the catcher's signal to Rendon, who was at bat?
I mostly agree with you but a run is a run and I'd rather have 2 runs on 2 pitches than one on 27. Still - that inning was big. Stressed him out, Trea got in his head, worked counts, he'll get tired faster.
Not to worry, Danny leads off the 2nd.
I think the thought process is that the more pitches Kershaw throws, the more runs we can reasonably expect to score later. I'm more saying I'll take several runs later over one now.
I'm really thinking about booking this one already.
careful with Gonzalez
