Roki Sasaki made his Cactus League debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, striking out five in three scoreless innings. His outing wasn't perfect, but there was a lot to like in his dynamic fastball, wicked slider, and unhittable splitter that spins less than a knuckleball. Host Jeff Snider and guest co-host Clint Pasillas discuss how Sasaki's solid performance enhances an already-great Dodgers starting rotation that includes Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, and potentially Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, Bobby Miller, Clayton Kershaw, and more.This episode also discusses the foot injury of Edgardo Henriquez and how his and other injuries to Evan Phillips and Michael Kopech have opened the bullpen door for guys like Ben Casparius, Landon Knack, and more.The conversation offers a deep dive into the team's approach to managing pitcher workloads, ensuring postseason readiness. Don't miss this insightful analysis of the Dodgers' path to success and the potential impact of Sasaki's unique skills.
