We answered a few mailbag questions, and then a few questions tied into the topics we wanted to discuss. Jeff's topic was whether the Dodgers should stick with a six-man rotation, but with Clayton Kershaw still starting every fifth game. We discussed the merits and drawbacks of that plan. Vince's topic was about...

More discussion of Adrian Gonzalez's WBC gripes, Rob Manfred's inability to ever say "NO," and Adam Jones' boneheaded decision to take whiteboard material public AFTER the championship had already been won. We ended with Jeff talking about two things he remembers from a 2012 Dodgers/Padres game, one of which might amuse you.
