Dodgers & Dave Roberts banking on Roki Sasaki finding ‘compete mode’

Root did not pitch in the minors last season, and did not appear in a major league spring game, so his […]

There is no clock in baseball, and any half-inning could, in theory, last forever—the Dodgers decided to test the boundaries of that by scoring a ridiculous 10 runs in the third inning on their way to a blowout win. If you ask me, it was a bit overkill given how dominant Tyler Glasnow was, but […]
