The Los Angeles Dodgers have a strong record but face significant challenges this season, including numerous injuries to key players. Their bullpen leads the major leagues in innings pitched, while their starting pitchers have the lowest innings pitched, creating an unsustainable reliance on relievers. Manager Dave Roberts highlighted the difficulty in managing both the health of starters and the workload of the bullpen, acknowledging that they cannot continue this way. The situation is compounded by the loss of critical pitchers and unresolved strategies to address these issues as they aim for another championship.
Manager Dave Roberts stated, 'It just seems like certain guys - and I could go back on each starter - but you're still trying to manage their health.'
Roberts emphasized the desire to avoid leading the league in bullpen innings, saying, 'Absolutely not, we (don't) want to lead the league in bullpen innings.'
