The Dodgers' bullpen is facing challenges this season, ranking 19th in ERA while leading the league in innings pitched. With critical pitchers unavailable due to injuries, rookies Ben Casparius and Jack Dreyer emerged as effective options. Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes the need for veteran relief pitchers to ease the burden on these young players, acknowledging their contributions while calling for accountability among seasoned teammates. Recent returns of Alex Vesia, Kirby Yates, and Michael Kopech could potentially strengthen the bullpen, but concerns about Kopech's performance remain.
To be quite honest, we're relying a lot on two rookies, and I just don't feel it's right to put everything on those two young players.
You've got to give credit to Jack and Ben, but it's the other guys responsibility as well, who have been through the trials and have a lot more experience.
