"Perfect world, one inning, because there's a cost to two innings or certainly three innings as far as on the backside of that, right?"
"But I do think in the last week our guys, we've seen some good things out of the guys out of the pen, but certainly Roki has been a big part of it."
"So I haven't talked to him. I talked to him - I talk to him quite frequently - but whatever is needed of him, he'll be ready to go. So I'm not worried about the back-to-back."
Roki Sasaki has delivered 5.1 scoreless innings across his first four postseason appearances, becoming a trusted high-leverage option out of the Dodgers' bullpen. The team has occasionally used him for multiple innings, including a three-inning outing in the NLDS, but prefers to limit him to one inning to avoid the fatigue and cost of longer stints. Sasaki recorded his first two MLB saves on the road against the Phillies and has adapted to varied situations since returning late in the season. He is expected to be available and ready for whatever role is required in the NLCS opener versus the Brewers, with Blake Snell starting Game 1.
