"The Los Angeles Dodgers hadn't officially revealed Blake Snell to be their Game 1 starter for the National League Championship Series when he took a seat behind the dais to speak with media before the team's workout at American Family Field on Sunday night. Shohei Ohtani was under consideration as well, thought manager Dave Roberts noted over the weekend that the Dodgers were still evaluating their options."
""The goal is to keep them off the bases. If they're on the bases, it depends on which runner is on base. No matter what, it will change the way you view them," Snell added. "The leg lift to home, the time, the looks, disrupting that. I've studied them. I understand who is running, who is not running, counts, all that. "If we get to that point, then I'll be ready for it and well aware of it.""
Blake Snell will start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers after appearing before reporters prior to a team workout. Shohei Ohtani remained under consideration while the Dodgers evaluated starting options. Snell has been named a Game 1 starter twice in three postseason opportunities and previously delivered a dominant outing against Philadelphia. The Milwaukee Brewers finished with the best record in baseball and excelled in batting average, on-base percentage and stolen bases. Snell plans to keep opponents off the bases, disrupt timing and leg lifts, and crafted his game plan by studying footage and playoff performances to identify each hitter's tendencies and who is likely to run.
