"After two months, the Dodgers have found a closer, in the rookie from Japan. Roki Sasaki mowed down the Reds in order in the ninth inning. Now, the Dodgers have a facsimile of a bullpen as they play the Phillies."
"Dylan Hernández commented on the Dodgers' unreliable bullpen. The Dodgers have their closer right in front of their big Blue nose: Kiké Hernández. No one can throw a 45-mph fastball like Kiké. All bullpen issues aside, after brushing aside the Reds, the Dodgers are looking mighty formidable. So my big L.A. fan brother-in-law asks me, "Would YOU want to have to play the Dodgers ?" Me: "With a minimum MLB salary of $760,000, of course I would!'"
Rookie Roki Sasaki assumed closing duties and retired the Reds in order in the ninth inning. The roster now resembles a functional bullpen as the Dodgers prepare to face the Phillies. The bullpen had shown unreliability earlier in the season. Kiké Hernández occupies a prominent role and is noted for an unusually slow 45-mph fastball. After defeating the Reds, the Dodgers present a strong and imposing lineup. A fan suggested that opposing teams might welcome facing the Dodgers, noting that the league minimum MLB salary makes the matchup attractive.
