![]() Jarrín has called approximately 11,000 Dodger games. “I think I could keep working four or five more years, but no, I think this is the precise moment.” “I feel really good physically, mentally really good,” Jarrín, 86, said in Spanish. Recently, Jorge Castillo talked with Jarrín about the end of his iconic career, in a story you can read here. ![]() ![]() He has been calling Dodgers games for only 64 years, so what’s the big deal? These last six games against the Colorado Rockies will be the final six regular season games that Dodgers Spanish broadcaster Jaime Jarrín calls. Basically, what it comes down to, is no Dodger fan wants to see Kimbrel in the game in a key situation.Īnd some of these decisions will depend on the opponent. Will Blake Treinen be ready? Do you put Kimbrel on the roster? If Gonsolin and May are healthy, you could put one in the rotation and one in the bullpen. If you add another starter, then that leaves one spot in the bullpen. Considering he pitched four scoreless innings, it appears he can handle it pretty well. They had Graterol start Thursday, with Heaney coming out of the bullpen, to see how Heaney handles a relief role. He had a 5.50 ERA in September before Thursday’s game, which is why he is not a lock to make the roster. If neither of them can go, then Andrew Heaney is ready. Almonte and Price just came off the injured list, so are they really 100%? The Dodgers will need another starter, which will be Tony Gonsolin or Dustin May, depending on which one is the healthiest. He did go one for two with three RBIs on Thursday, but right now, Alberto is the heavy favorite. His competition is Vargas, who, counting his games in the minors, has played first, second, third and left. He has played every infield position and right field this season. His OPS+ is 57, meaning he is 43% worse than a league-average hitter. But he has played only eight games this month and hasn’t hit well this season (.225/.235/.344). That leaves two spots open for three people: Hanser Alberto, Joey Gallo and Miguel Vargas (I’m assuming they aren’t going to suddenly put James Outman on the postseason roster.)Īlberto has been with the team all season, and really should be on the roster above. Teams can not have more than 13 pitchers on the roster, so the days of 14 pitchers-12 position players are over. ![]() And while there are some question marks that make a guaranteed prediction impossible, let’s do our best. I’m getting a lot of predictions from readers as to who will be on the postseason roster. Your support helps us deliver the news that matters most. ![]()
