Those Dodgers -- pretty sure the organization must live in some secret bunker where they send private messages to staff members in Morse code, but only when absolutely necessary.
The Mets announced their playoff rotation prior to their last regular season game Sunday. The Dodgers finished theirs later that day and afterward still wouldn’t announce who would start Game 1.
The most Manager Don Mattingly would say was he knew who his first two starters would be, which is not exactly a mystery up there with Donald Trump’s hair.
Mattingly has two National League Cy Young candidates in Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, and whether he doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or just believes there is some furtive advantage in withholding information from the public for as long as possible, he has refused to name the starter for Friday’s opener.
