What I'm really wondering though if this is more of a 'Shut down' than an injury problem... He seems to get us in a position to make the post season each season, and then when we're comfortable, he get's a strain or something. Then he's magically back when we need him again.
I wonder if we're just trying to keep the mileage down on him... I'm used to that in the NBA so maybe it's a little too 'tinfoil hat' for the MLB, but I was just wondering.


Neddy has been leading the conversation about shutting down Kershaw to keep him fresh for the postseason, but I don't think the Dodgers could convince him to fake an injury knowing the type of competitor he is. Then again, maybe that is why he was so somber during interviews right after the injury. Still, I'm not convinced unless a report from a respected journalist says otherwise.

Fantastic.

Whether it's fake or not, we get practically the outcome we want.

Kershaw rested and [I'm guessing] 100% for October.

Why rush back? Rest up ace.

Quake and I share the feeling that Clay isn't really hurt, but the dodger brass is making excuses to rest him up. I think Clay himself is the one who isn't liking the idea and wants to return before mid September. I don't think it is our front office or the coaching staff that is rushing him back at all. in fact rushing him back will throw the FO's plan out the window and cause a rift in the club house with already having Darvish-Wood-Hill-Maeda-Ryu in the rotation with Stewart still on 25 men roster. not only the kid will get bumped, but one of the established starting pitcher will have to sit down, this early before the playoffs. the longer Kershaw sits, the more everyone else will have a chance to prove that they belong, and everyone will be happier.
ehhhhh f it.

Stewart was optioned to AAA in order to activate Cingrani to the 25-man roster.

Yeah, that's what I was implying... Why I directed it at Kershaw instead of the FO.
I too believe he's resting not injured... So he should embrace it, stay loose, and come back rejuvenated.

Getting close to 3 weeks. I think that's 3 starts he has missed. I was initially interested in him missing about 5 to 6 starts.

Looks like he's officially ready. I hope he misses a few more. We can afford it.
