Giants' Gabe Kapler plays it cool, says Dodgers sudden pitching change wasn't 'unexpected'

On Thursday at 6:07 p.m., the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants will face off for the all the marbles in Game 5 of the NLDS. The Dodgers were originally slated to start Julio Urias, a lefty who won 20 games in the regular season, but on Thursday morning, Roberts and the team announced a flip-flop and will instead start right-handed reliever Corey Knebel.

The change of heart, which presumably is to flummox the Giants' predominately left-handed lineup, has unleashed a mountain of takes and conspiracies. WHAT ARE THE DODGERS REALLY PLANNING?
