""Yeah, I do think that's the case," Roberts said. "But I will say we've got this Trajekt machine in the cage that guys take a lot of at-bats off of to get familiar with different pitchers and get their timing. It's not live, but it's a pretty good simulation on top of the simulated games we're playing with each other. But having the pitchers kind of fresh and frisky going into this World Series is a good thing.""
""Blake Snell's first two starts, Game 1 of the Wild Card round and Game 2 of the NLDS, have consisted of 13 innings, 18 strikeouts, five walks, and two earned runs. Both of them were on five days of rest. His 10-strikeout performance during Game 1 of the NLCS that allowed just one hit across eight innings was on six days' rest.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers' starting rotation recorded a 0.63 ERA across 28.2 NLCS innings and received extended rest after sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers. A Trajekt machine in the cage plays requested pitchers' windups on video and reproduces accurate pitches and arm angles to give hitters timing repetitions that supplement simulated intrasquad games. Rest has generally correlated with postseason production for Dodgers starters. Blake Snell accumulated 13 innings, 18 strikeouts, five walks and two earned runs across two early postseason starts on five days' rest and followed with a 10-strikeout, one-hit eight-inning NLCS outing on six days' rest. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has a 1.83 ERA with 18 strikeouts, four earned runs and four walks across three postseason starts.
