Evaches are urgent to present another title in the World Championship to Los Angeles

At this time last year, the pressure was clear.

Until last October, the evaders enjoy a good reputation in the post -season.

It was not unjustified discrimination. In both the two previous seasons, the team was annoyed in the National Division Series by lower opponents in San Diego Badris and Arizona Diaondbacks. In the fall before that, their defense canceled the weakened Atlanta Bavors tax in the NL championship. Yes, they won a global series in the 2020 season that was distinguished from the epidemic. But outside, it was more than three decades since the last time I triumphed under typical circumstances.

This volatile history weighs them. Their insistence to change it in the qualifiers last year was excited.

“This kind of sour taste you enjoy when it comes out early from the post -season, our men are tired of that,” director Dave Roberts said at the eve of the past year. “So this is another chance. I feel that edge.”

This week, of course, the evaders face a different type of dynamic.

After its unforgettable period to the championship last year, the team won a dry monkey in the entire season. Although the expectations are still high, the Dodgers team and their list of $ 400 million will start to start the qualifiers with the three best wild cards starting on Tuesday against Cincinnati Reds, questions related to disappointment last October may be disappointed.

So, does the post -season pressure feel different?

“You may think,” said the third veteran base man Max Monsey. “But the pressure will always be there. Especially when you are this team, when you are in Los Angeles Dodgers, there are a lot of expectations around you. There is a lot of pressure.”

In fact, after a dominant ordinary season, the NL West winning for the twelfth time over the past 13 years, but it failed to farewell in the first round as one of the best qualifying seeds in NL, the evaders have a new task for them.

Wipe the frustrations of their 93 -year -old campaign. Keep the momentum that they built for an ordinary season 15-5. And re -establishing the despair that carried them to the promised land last fall, where they are trying to become the first frequent MLB champion in 25 years.

“For us, the challenge does not allow this pressure to reach you, find our rhythm, and find what will do for us this year.” “The team every year must find its identity when they reach this point. You have an identity during the normal season, and you have to find a complete afternoon identity.”

Dodgers’s favorite identity for this year’s team numbers is the opposite of what succeeded last October.

Unlike last year, the team has a stars healthy rotation that enters the qualifiers. Also, unlike last year, Bullpeen is a major question mark despite the end of an encouraging end of the normal season.

For the land cards series, this means that the team will need big roles from the start of the Blake Snell game, and the beginning of Game 2 Yoshinobu Yamamoto and (then

Ideally, their production should be reduced from the burden on the Relief Corps, which ranked twenty -first in the majors in the afternoon during the normal season, and has no clear hierarchical sequence of its most trusted arms.

“The start is much better than last year,” Roberts said on Monday. “This may be the biggest difference between the team last year.”

It is recognized that the evaders feel better towards the bulls at the present time, thanks to the return of Rocky Sasaki and the re -customization (at least for this series) from Emmet Sheehan and Tyler Glasnow from rotation to relief roles, and recent improvements from Blake Trinen and Tanner Scott.

“[We have] Roberts said much more confidence than we had two weeks ago. I think this is because these men showed confidence in themselves, as they throw the baseball. I think last week we saw the men more on the attack that puts the tone, in exchange for the tone behind them or we want very careful. “

However, anyone who guesses who will attend in the ninth half, or is called in the highest financial moments.

Document, it will be better for late competitions to avoid evaders.

To this end, the continued height of the evaders in the plate will also help. During a glory extension 22-32 from July 4 to September 6, evaders ranked twenty-seventh in scoring, struggling to overcome injuries in many major pieces, retreat from some of their biggest stars, and the general lack of consistent implementation of circumstantial opportunities. However, the squad that gets twenty, has a average number of matches in NL game for each game behind the factors of the season from the OHTANI and Mookie Betts, as well as improvements at the team level while reaching the contestants in the registration center.

“The team started shooting at all cylinders,” Monsi said. “It is something that we did not really feel throughout the year.”

Dodgers had good news on the injury front during Monday’s team exercise at Dodger Stadium. Monsi, who missed the last four games of the normal season while fighting the leg bruises and what Roberts described as other “comprehensive” body issues, will be in the squad. The same applies to Tommy Edman, who has not played in this field since last Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

The big question remains the fisherman Will Smith, who came out since September 9 with a fracture in the right hand.

Roberts said on Monday that the team “encouraged” the last Smith’s progress. Slugger enables the bats live on Monday night.

Roberts said: “If he can reach today and feel satisfied, then it is an applicable thinking,” that he can be in the list of 26 men, the evaders will have to undergo a barrier match for the Breet Cards series, “Roberts said.

Either way, the most anxious Dodgers concern is still when they maintain their last game. It may not erase last October failure. However, like Monsi, Roberts said that the urgency to win another series of the world is still the same.

“I don’t know whether it is easier or more difficult that we won last year,” said Roberts. “But frankly, all we care about is winning this year.”
