Okay, that title is probably harsh. Still, when you’ve been eliminated from the playoffs the night before, I imagine it’s a little tough to get up for one more game before the season ends. Nonetheless, it’s here to be played so it must be done.
Kershaw’s trying for his 14th win, for the NL strikeout lead, and he’s trying to keep his NL ERA lead as well.
Lineup:
Ellis, M, 2B
Ethier, A, RF
Kemp, M, CF
Gonzalez, A, 1B
Ramirez, H, SS
Victorino, S, LF
Cruz, L, 3B
Federowicz, T, C
Kershaw, C, P
I find it interesting that FedEx is playing rather than AJ Ellis. I wonder what that’s all about.
The game is on Prime Ticket at 1:15PM HST, so I get to see it.
