Game 155 Thread: September 20 vs. Giants, 6p

I'd open this, but I'm afraid of its fragility.

Tyler Glasnow (3-3, 3.06) vs. Kai-Wei Teng (2-4, 6.41).

Okay so we've won two games against the Giants, allowing the Dodgers to clinch a 13th straight postseason berth and also open up a four-game lead on the Padres in the NL West, with eight games to play. The rest of this season becomes a final exam for who should make the postseason lineup.

Michael Kopech has already missed the cut. Justin Wrobleski, who gave up another run yesterday (over 1.1 IP), looks like he can't hold form over consecutive days, which is what we'll need for the playoffs.

Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott are on the bubble, though Yates had a three-up-three-down inning on Friday, while Tanner Scott had another shaky (albeit 2 K) inning to get the save.

I say, let's rest Glasnow early (a prudent move, given his penchant for injuries), and just trot these bullpen arms out and see how they perform. We'd better learn now.
