""Sometimes there's no words, no reasons to describe it," Treinen said. "I know it's frustrating to the fans. I mean, I can promise you from the bottom of my heart we're trying our darnedest every single night. There's nothing we haven't done, there's no stone we haven't unturned. It's not an effort thing. It's not a preparation thing.""
""It is literally just sometimes things aren't working and I wish for their sake, for our team, our organization, our ownership that I'm better in those spots. I know that's in the heart of my teammates too. Sometimes you just don't have answer. You just have to find something to cling to and keep plugging away every day. Re-set your body, re-set your body and try to do the job you're called to do tomorrow. But obviously it's been a frustrating stretch.""
Blake Treinen, the Dodgers' most reliable reliever during their World Series run, signed a two-year, $22 million deal but has had a difficult age-37 season. Treinen missed over three months with a forearm injury and recorded a 4.70 ERA across 27 appearances when healthy. September has been particularly poor, with losses in four of his last five outings and late-inning failures including taking the loss in recent no-hit bids and surrendering a go-ahead three-run homer in the ninth against the Phillies. Treinen emphasized effort and preparation despite frustration and pledged to keep working to improve.
