Rather than start Tyler Glasnow on four days of rest on Wednesday night in San Francisco, the Dodgers will go with their fourth bullpen game of the season.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, pictured, and pitching coach Mark Prior have made it clear they don’t view bullpen games as conceding an opportunity to win. In fact, the Dodgers have gone 13-6 in bullpen games over the past three seasons with a staff ERA of 3.86 in those games. The Dodgers have committed to keeping their starting pitchers as healthy as they can for the long term even if it means making decisions that don’t necessarily maximize their chances of winning on any given day.
“I think if you put it in that context, it’s a no-brainer,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “There’s nothing more important than protecting the starters.” “That’s always the tug-of-war and beauty of our game,” Prior said. “It’s 162. It’s about winning today but not at the cost of winning games the next 10 days – versus football where you’re playing today and that’s all that matters.
