Everyone Has an Idea About Where Dodgers Should Go for Relief
- Share via
To reverse the trend of Dodger relief pitchers blowing saves, why not start with a reliever for the first three innings--he’ll give up three or four runs--then, for a stopper, bring in a starter for the last six, allowing the offense to rally and win the game?
If you need any further advice, I can be contacted through my psychiatrist.
