And the receiver has had a lot to do with it. Will Smith for the way he has guided the Dodgers’ pitchers, starters and relievers, the manager said Dave Roberts.
“Will has been working like no one else with all of our pitchers,” Roberts said before Thursday’s game. “He has prepared himself and the guys trust him.”
Will Smith said that nothing has changed from the regular season, that he just focuses on each game independently and on the type of pitcher he is going to work with, to make him feel comfortable and confident.
