The Dodgers biggest problem is actually the manager decisions in the middle of the game. Bringing in those middle relievers screwed them up in 2023. Yes, Graterol and Phillips were very efffective. But, you need a deep bullpen to hold you in the middle innings. Especially, since the manager of the Dodgers babys starting pitchers so much that he would take them out after 6 innings even when they were pitching well such as Kershaw. Leave them in until the 8th inning. But, they're afraid of blowing the pitchers arm. LOL.
