- Dave Roberts Praises Wrobleski, Offense Shows Life in Win — Bleed Los: Dodgers & MLB News Podcast
Dave, when you have someone like Justin Roleski, we know that he's been pounding the zone, but when he gets through six shutout innings without a strikeout, what does it just say as to how he's exactly kind of navigating through their lineup and what he's been able to do? >> You know, I I I think it just it's it's what it does. It keeps the defense involved. Um he's got a good pace to it to him.…

Dodgers' Roki Sasaki Shines in Best Start of Season vs. Cardinals # Roki Sasaki Shines in Best Start of Season vs. Cardinals - Nelson Espinal - May 2, 2026 - 7:09 pm - No Comments - Nelson Espinal - May 2, 2026 Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki pitched a quality game against the St. Louis Cardinals, building upon two straight promising starts.

“Won’t even blame him for this loss. A lineup getting paid this much should be able to work with a 6 inning 3 run start.” — r/Dodgers (180 upvotes)
Our take: We’re with this: six innings and three runs from Sasaki is absolutely something this roster should be able to cash in. When the lineup costs this much, a quality start cannot feel like asking the bats to solve advanced calculus.
“The lad would be fine if he could just get run support earlier than the top of the 9th with 2 outs” — r/Dodgers (71 upvotes)
Our take: That is painfully accurate. Run support showing up in the ninth with two outs is less an offensive plan and more a jump scare.
“He is getting better and better, pitching against quality AB is exactly what he needs. I am a ROKI BELIEVER” — r/Dodgers (134 upvotes)
Our take: We’re not ready to print the ROKI BELIEVER shirts in bulk yet, but the trend is real. The command, the fastball trust, and the two-splitter look all point to a pitcher learning in public instead of shrinking from it.
