    Dave Roberts finally has learned to delegate and trust his instincts as a manager. I think Roberts biggest issue before this season was his need to follow a strict guideline of how to manage his team and it doesn't change in any situation. This year he relied more on trusting his coaching staff, his players, and his gut during the situation. When he went up to Treinen and basically let him make the decision, it was the moment Dave Roberts went from a manager who couldn't adjust to one of the best managers in the game.

    @brianwoods9552 8 днів тому

    The Dodgers have five guys who could arguably close for other teams (Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol, Alex Vesia, Micahel Kopech and Blake Treinen). Unfortunately, Phillips was injured during the NCLS... At any rate, having an high-leverage bullpen is an obvious luxury other teams don't have. So few teams could replicate this strategy over and over. Second, when a Dodger reliever was called in, Roberts wanted to make sure sure opposing batters never got too familiar with each pitcher. So Roberts inserted them so his pitchers never faced the same batter twice throughout the series. I believe Treinen was an exception in innings 7 thru 8 in Game 5 simply out of desperation.

      However I'm quite confident he would not have punted game 4 of the WS if they'd scored more than just a couple runs in the top of the first. If it looked like his bats were lively, he would have invested more. This is absolutely fine, and one of the advantages of being on the road. You can see their pitcher before they get to see yours.

      ​@@arontotheleft i think what people might 'take issue with' is that this wasnt the first time with a bullpen game in the playoffs. They've seen big time success with it. So going into it, they were still hoping to actually get a win. And really, they weren't THAT far from pulling it off. They were down by just 1 run after 5. Things didnt really crumble until the 8th. I wouldnt call that a punt.

    I consider the “Father…” of the reliever to be Clark Griffith. He was the first to use himself primarily to close games in 1905, a concept he learned his 1891 rookie year. When he became an owner, relievers in his pitching staffs stood prominent. The “bullpen game” is not new to Baseball. The Rays have been using it for years now. It’s just like the weather. Dave Roberts has a reputation of over managing and tiring wins into losses during the post season. This year, it worked out. The Yankees were a poor fundamental team.

    Great Video. This goes to show how consistently great the dodgers front office scouts and builds bullpens for Dave Roberts to use this strategy. However, I don’t think this is a strategy built intentionally but because the Dodgers had so many injuries throughout the year they knew how to deploy their arms. Not to mention the Dodgers had a lineup to erase leads or increase leads. This is what made it more possible. 3 MVP’s 1-3. 4-5 timely hits with Teoscar, and Kike. Bottom half setting the table for the top of the order with Edman. This also made bullpen games a viable option.

    Ironically this is a strategy I've seen in a baseball anime. Diamond No Ace. The coach of the Seido, high school baseball team in Tokyo rotated in games between 4 different pitchers. It's a risky move but it worked because it allowed the pitchers to gain experience and the work load didn't over take the pitchers because they shared the responsibility of passing the torch to the next pitcher. Of course another reason for this success was because the team prides itself on defense and that team had one of the best offense lineup you will see. This reminds me of this Dodgers team.

    The Dodgers didn’t want to use this strategy. We needed to. The organization constructed a gritty and unusually variety filled bullpen that gave them the ability to play match up effectively. Additionally, the three starting pitchers did their best, to greater and lesser effect, to minimize the need for the bullpen on those days. This Dodgers postseason was a picture in managerial strategy, teamwork, and fight. Go Dodgers 💙💙💙

    It kinda backfired due to Graterol at game 5 though, got put in at 6th inning but instantly walked 3 batters and give up 1 run and Roberts was out of good/fresh relievers so he had no choice but to put in Treinen early with 2 outs at 6th, that left Treinen way overworked(42 pitch count by the end of 8th) and he couldnt close for the 9th inning 1 run game. If they lost that game, their best closer Treinen would have barely any rest next game. Yamamoto + Treinen at Game 6 wouldve been quite a good combo to win especially that Cole wasnt starting too. but maybe im being too complacent too because Yankees already saw a lot of Treinen's pitches, they wouldve been used to his pitches. If it was me I think I would've put Buehler first, because the score at 6th was Dodgers 5-6, I would only use Treinen if Dodgers took the lead which they did at 8th inning 7-6. But tbh does this really matter that much?? it all depends on the performance of the players. if everyone is bad, manager can barely do anything. like Judge was in a slump, everyone did errors. what could Yankees manager Boone possibly do?

    • @TalkingHeadMedia
      @TalkingHeadMedia 9 днів тому

      I do think had they lost game 5, it would’ve been interesting to see their next move. Also I think as soon as Dave realized he had a quality chance to win game 5 with LA scoring 5 in that disastrous 5th inning for the Yankees, he was going for the win and to end the series that night. Which may be another reason why he burned Blake the way he did. Managers in baseball naturally get overlooked because at the end of the day, players are the ones that have to preform. This sport is different from most where coaching and strategies aren’t as prevalent every play or possession like in football or maybe basketball. So when a manager in baseball attempts to try something fairly new it’s always worth taking a look at in my opinion. Especially when it happens in October! Thanks for watching!!! Love the discussion 🙏🏾🙏🏾

      Of course Roberts didn't invent the bullpen game, but he did develop a game plan against the Padres' and Mets' lineup that was the most effective possible way to take them out. The interesting thing is that the strategy really blew up badly against the Yankees - their bullpen game in the World Series was a disaster. They lost it, and gassed their arms to the point that Game 5 was pretty much lost. It took a historic tank job by the Yankees, stretching their relievers to the point of exhaustion, and bringing in a starter to close it out.
