maestro -- Kershaw wins with 7 shutout innings ... IN RELIEF

That is...AWESOME!

What's amazing is he was at F0 the entire stint!

Out of curosity, do you have doolittle with some sort of limitations (2 innings max for example)?

Doolittle had pitched three games in a row PRIOR to that 20-inning thing, and so was at F0 and got taken out after a couple innings. He's set to don't remove before F3, slow hook, avoid in blowout, avoid before 8th, 1-2 IP max. When the other team is weaker against LHP, he's #1 at set-up, tied and late or 9+, and closer; when the other team is weaker against RHP, he's at #2 for all those categories. He hasn't been used as much as he might because the team is winning a lot -- 47-22 and +93 run diff -- so mop-up guys get used, etc.

BTW, check out Kershaw's follow-up start:

Shutout broken up with two outs in ninth (4-hitter with all singles) by a double -- and who was up? MIKE TROUT. You can imagine that happening. Baseball is the BEST.

Thanks,

Just saw your team. Nice record at 47-22. A living proof that a clever lineup filled with injury-prone players can be successful.

Poor Marc Rzepzinski (sp?) only got to throw one pitch, and Kershaw goes 7 innings? Hardly seems fair.
