Dodgers president of operations Andrew Friedman said Tuesday the team's NLDS loss to the Padres was an 'organizational failure.'
, and why exactly did he think the team faltered in a four-game defeat to the Padres that ranked among the biggest postseason upsets in MLB history?“You can kind of go through all of it, and we will, and spend time on it,” he said. “Just trying to find any levers or anything we can do to help put us in a better position next year.”Dodgers pitcher Tyler Anderson said he didn’t know before Game 4 of the NLDS he would be pulled from the game in the fifth inning.
He defended the Dodgers’ pitching decisions during a fateful seventh inning in Game 4 — when their attempt to save their best reliever,“You can say, ‘Hey, it would have been great if you had done something different’ with the benefit of hindsight,” he said. “It’s a hard thing when in that moment you could passionately argue both sides. And so many decisions don’t have a clear right or wrong answer until after it plays out.
Asked if the Dodgers could benefit from a new voice leading the team, Friedman rejected the suggestion. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, center, meets with players on the mound during the fourth inning in Game 3 of the NLDS against the San Diego Padres on Oct. 14 in San Diego.
