was more of a factor of getting roles set for
the postseason than it was of being a bad
baseball team. In the same amount of time
that everyone began to write the Dodgers off
and wonder if they had what it took to be
competitive in the playoffs, Roberts and the
team learned that they could not trust Pedro
Baez and Ross Stripling in high-leverage
situations. They learned that they could rely
on Brandon Morrow in the eighth inning and
bring in Kenta Maeda in the middle innings
to get out powerful right-handed bats. Adam
Liberatore, Grant Dayton and, to an extent,
Luis Avilan all fell off the board while Tony
Cingrani and Tony Watson stepped up to form
one of the best postseason bullpens baseball
has ever seen through the first two rounds.
Every move by this Dodgers team has
been calculated from the start with the intent
to form one of the best ball clubs in team
history that has begun its first World Series
since 1988. While Dodger teams of the past
may not have had what it took to get the job
done, this team can never be counted out. The
Boys in Blue may not have won anything yet,
but this 2017 Los Angeles Dodgers baseball
team could go down as perhaps the best that
any of their fans has ever seen.
