Andrew Friedman has no answer on what Dodgers can change
LA TimesDodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman answers a question from the media at the end-of-season wrap-up at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday. “It’s fair to say it’s an organizational failure … our goal was to win 11 games in October and we didn’t win one,” he said. If you would have said your pitching staff would have given up four runs in Games 2 and 3, I would’ve bet a lot of money that we would have won at least one of those two games with our offense.” Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw leaves the dugout after a disastrous first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the NLDS at Dodger Stadium. “There are a number of things that played out this year that were unforeseen by us,” he said, later adding, “I think from a 13-man pitching staff, I do think that there was enough arm talent there.” First, he’s right about the unforeseen, from Julio Urías’ suspension to the injuries suffered by Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin. “There aren’t too many guys going six or seven in postseason games, anecdotally, as I look around,” Friedman said.
