A series of injuries to the pitching staff. And then there’s the bullpen issue. As a result of all this, attention to pitcher management has suddenly increased. Clayton Kershaw said after the game. “It’s easy to blame Pryor.” “But the reality is more complicated.” He defended the team, saying it would be difficult to operate ideally as key pitchers continue to leave the team. On the other hand, he also expressed concerns about Otani’s management. “There is nothing more important than a healthy Shohei.” The topic then turned to reinforcement. Kershaw expressed his understanding of acquiring Seiya Suzuki, but added certain conditions. “I don’t want Emmett Sheehan out.” “He has a big future,” he concluded. “The opportunity to learn alongside Shohei is priceless.” The night’s discussion was not about one player. –It was the future of the Dodgers.
