Part 6/10:
The Dodgers have excelled in ground balls and infield defense throughout the series. Their ability to make plays promptly and reliably has kept opponents' bats in check. For example, Yamamoto's mound dominance was supported by stellar defense, with the Dodgers turning ground balls into outs—like Muny's crucial play at home—preventing the Brewers from gaining ground.
Building Confidence in the Bullpen
Confidence within the bullpen is growing as the relievers demonstrate consistency and resilience. Dave Roberts' trust in his relief pitchers is evident, as he strategically deploys players based on matchups. This increased confidence bodes well for potential World Series ventures, given the importance of a reliable bullpen in postseason success.
