Five Dodgers takeaways from their season-opening series in Colorado

New York Times  

The Dodgers won three of four games from the talent-lacking Rockies over the weekend in Denver. “Today,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, “it was as good a change-up as you’re gonna see.” The change-up combined with wonderful command allowed Urías to breeze through the Rockies lineup. “A guy that can miss bats with a few different pitches, commands the fastball, gets left, gets right out, can navigate a lineup three times through, which he’s shown he can do that, pitch in leverage, pitch out of leverage,” Roberts said, “there’s no ceiling for him.” 2. “For me, as a manager,” Roberts said, “those are things that I’ll remember forever.” Zach McKinstry had to leg out his first career home run. The news just serves as a reminder that the depth might be more necessary than superfluous, considering Urías, Gonsolin and Monday starter Dustin May have never thrown 100 major-league innings in a season and Price didn’t pitch at all last year.
