Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts Reveals Starting Pitcher for Potential Game 7
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has provided some insight into the team's plans for World Series Game 7. When asked about the pitching situation, Roberts stated that Tyler Glasnow would be available to pitch in Game 7. This news comes after Glasnow earned a save on Friday night, working the final three innings of the game.
However, Roberts did reveal that one pitcher will not be available for Game 7: right-handed starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Japanese ace threw 96 pitches on Friday, his longest outing in recent memory, and although he limited damage, pitching six strong innings, Roberts feels it's best to limit him further.
Despite Yamamoto's impressive performance, Roberts believes the team can still utilize him if needed, saying "If they ask me to go out, I'll be ready." However, he also wants Yamamoto to do his very best to cheer for the team. The Dodgers have a deep bullpen and other options, including Shohei Ohtani or Glasnow taking the mound, which will allow them to make strategic decisions based on the game's progression.
Game 7 is set to take place on Saturday night, with the Dodgers looking to secure their World Series title. With Roberts' assurance that Glasnow would be available and a potential rotation of other pitchers, fans are optimistic about Los Angeles' chances in what could be an epic showdown.

! The way they're managing Yamamoto's workload is super smart, I mean we don't want him burning out after such a long and intense outing 
. It's great to see the team thinking ahead and having a solid rotation in place. But what really gets me excited is that they've got Glasnow ready to go - he's been on fire lately 
! And with Ohtani as an option, it's like they're playing a game of chess here 
... making moves, adjusting strategies... can't wait for Saturday night!

. Having Tyler Glasnow as a potential starter is a huge plus, and it's great that Roberts has confidence in him to come through. But I'm also loving the depth of their bullpen - if they need to make some adjustments on the fly, they can definitely count on guys like Shohei Ohtani or whoever else steps up 
. And let's not forget about Glasnow himself, who showed he's got the stuff to go deep in a game 
. Yoshinobu Yamamoto may be limited for now, but it's good that Roberts is thinking ahead and wants him to stay fresh for when they really need him 
. Overall, I think the Dodgers have a great balance of experience and youth, which should serve them well in this critical matchup

i swear, if glasnow can just bring home that ring for us dodgers fans, i'll be FREAKING OUT 
we need to see ohtani or glasnow on the mound in game 7, it's gonna be epic!!!!! 
! So they're thinking of going with Tyler Glasnow for Game 7... I think it's a solid move, he's got the stuff to shut down any team. But Yoshinobu Yamamoto throwing 96 pitches on Friday? That's crazy! He was lights out, no doubt about it 
. Can't wait for Game 7 on Saturday night!
