...nothing that starting Koufax, Drysdale, and Podres couldn't cure.

Milburn or Don Drysdale?

Don as a starter.  Milburn as an aging knuckleballer coming out of the pen, what we would call a "money pitcher".  In the '63 Series, Milburn plunked Mantle on his bicep with one of his butterfly-like floaters and the ball cracked in half.  Milburn was credited with throwing the first splitter, Mantle refused to take first after being hit and was ejected shortly thereafter for yelling "We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher".

The way the Dodgers pitchers were beaning batters tonight, Milburn would have earned his money.
