Many of us thought that Dusty Baker would configure the team once again with a 7-man bullpen and a 6-man bench — and he has. There are a few surprises on the NLDS roster just like last year. The players who were on the bubble got phone calls in the late-afternoon with the good news and others received the disappointing news that they did not make the NLDS roster, but teams can change their roster for the NLCS so anything is possible which is why the team will carry a “taxi squad” of players who will continue to work-out and be on the ready.
