Dodgers Daily@dodger_daily·
The Roki Sasaki situation is complicated, and it's not as simple as making it black and white. Sasaki, unquestionably, has NOT performed well enough as a starter to deserve a spot in the opening day rotation. But, he was KEY in the World Series title last year, AND, he took WAY less money to join the Dodgers. He did that because he believed in the Dodgers' developmental system, and he felt as if he could grow the most under the Dodgers instruction. He also wanted to play with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Beyond that, I'm sure, as part of the sales pitch, the Dodgers assured him a spot in the rotation, because they were the only organization that could "logistically" implement a 6-man rotation. They can do that because Ohtani is a 2-way player, so, in essence, they can have 14 pitchers. So, to get Sasaki to sign, especially considering he was signing early, and thus, had to sign a Minor League contract, their HAD to be promises made. One could assume the Dodgers assured him a spot in the rotation, and, more importantly, a role as a starter. And, you have to understand, one of the secret sauces for the Dodgers with Free Agents is that they have developed a remarkable reputation for delivering on the promises they make. That alone is a MAJOR factor as to why the Dodgers are THE destination for Free Agents. And the ability to acquire the CORRECT Free Agents can NOT be understated as to the impact it's made in creating this dynasty. So, to move Sasaki either to the pen or to AAA, they would have to back out on a promise made, and one that was instrumental in his signing with the Dodgers instead of the Padres or any other organization. It's truly a "rock and a hard place" because you have everyone else on the "merit system" and pitchers being sent to OKC that deserve better, meanwhile, Sasaki is getting preferential treatment. Then, on top of all that, one of the LARGEST parts of this dynasty construction has been capturing the Asian market, specifically the Japanese market. The Dodgers have done such great work capturing that audience, and because of it, they are swimming in both money AND championships. It's been a 100% Win/Win, and surely NO ONE would want to upset that Apple Cart. Especially over a 6th starter, who has potential, as he showed in the playoffs last year? And on a team that could win 100+ games and win the Division by double digits? Even if he doesn't pitch well! Even if he pitches well in just 1/2 his outings, the Dodgers might win 110ish games if everything else plays out the way it should. That's the "rock and a hard place" that I see, and I can see both sides of it. For me, it just kind of "Is What It Is, and I trust the Front Office to massage this situation in a way that works for everyone in the long run. #dodgers

Penalties have been a real issue for VGK since the Olympic break. Before Olympics: 2.80 per 60 Since Olympics: 3.99 per 60 *Not counting the 4 minors and fighting major tonight*

@JeffSpiegel It’s ok to question the front office. Questioning them doesn’t mean the front office sucks. It’s the best front office in baseball but that doesn’t mean they’re infallible.

I’ve questioned all spring why the Dodgers came out so early + handed Roki a spot in the rotation. He hadn’t earned anything + it has backfired, because: now what? Can they really send him into a MLB game?! Or do they eat crow + reverse course? FASCINATED to see what they do…
Bob@culverfan

@JeffSpiegel I think the Dodgers have to have some serious discussions tonight and they may have to reverse course. if he was just mediocre I think they would press on, but I think today is alarming enough. They have to rethink him being on the roster. Wrob may have to be the fifth guy.

@HyeseongKimMuse Those that say the decision is best for Kim for the long run, ok fine. They agree Kim had better #s But what gets me are those few that cover the team that try to use ridiculous stats to back Roberts decision. They avoid using real stats but some farce “potential” stats.

ERIC KARROS: “I mean, if I’m Kim, obviously I’m upset… I’d take it the next step further; I’d say I’m livid.” But, Freeland has more walks.

@DMAC_LA Doug, you’re positioning this saying it’s to help Kim succeed in the long run. Fine. Others that cover the Dodgers tried to pull nonsense stats (instead of real stats) to try to justify. But do u at least agree that based on performance, Kim won the position over Freeland?
