Julio Urías is different this year, inside and out. “New player,” he joked. He spoke about the Dodgers' front office decision to not start him in a winner-take-all NLDS Game 5 against the San Francisco Giants:
As the Dodgers gathered on the field for the start of camp, the status of free-agent first baseman Freddie Freeman took center stage.Urías is still only 25, which is easy to forget considering he’s now in his eighth major league spring training camp with the Dodgers.Speaking outside of the Dodgers’ clubhouse on Monday, Urías spoke with greater confidence.
Dodgers pitchers Julio Urías, left, and Victor Gonzalez warm up during a spring training workout on Sunday in Phoenix. “I was just eating better,” Urías said. “Obviously, trying to leave behind the temptations — the candies, the Coca-Cola, which are very good, honestly.” “Maybe you could feel offended, right?” Urías said. “At the same time, what I want to do is win. I’ve told the coaches, I’ve told the manager, to me it doesn’t matter if I’m the main guy. I don’t need people to say, ‘We won because of Julio.’ I just want to help, even if it’s for just one out. I knew that I deserved to start against San Francisco, but [to fight that] is not something that’s in me. It was the plan of the team, I’m behind the team, and thanks to God, we were able to advance.
Did he ever wonder why he was asked to do something he hadn’t done all season and Scherzer and Walker Buehler weren’t?
