The Los Angeles Dodgers are experiencing challenges, particularly in their bullpen, which struggles to protect leads and often falls behind in counts. Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes the importance of getting the first hitter out of an inning. Catcher Dalton Rushing highlights the cyclical nature of baseball, noting every team faces tough periods during the season. The Dodgers' recent ERA improvement is credited to the return of key pitchers, although their overall performance in terms of pitching behind the count remains a concern, compounded by a season marred by injuries.
"I like getting the first hitter out of an inning. I think just kind of take care of business," manager Dave Roberts answered when asked what is key for Dodgers relievers to right the ship.
"It's baseball," Rushing said. "Every team is going to go through this. Every pitching staff is going to go through this."
"Sadly, we're wearing it right now but we know what we have to do to be ready to play in October. I think tomorrow is step one toward getting on the right track to being ready to compete in the playoffs."
