The Dodgers lose the World Series in their own way; do the giants want to imitate them?

The Giants want to catch the elite teams, including the Dodgers, and are trying to hire a new boss to get there.

But do they really want to follow the Dodgers' plan, which is heavily analytical and has seemed to be turning against the last two world series?

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has been criticized for making a decision in the five-game loss to the Red Sox, although these decisions are largely based on data provided by Andrew Friedman's office.

Boston manager Alex Cora was not flawless, but more of his decisions worked. Again, the Red Sox are a historically exceptional team, so it was perhaps more about his players that make him look good.

In any case, the Red Sox, although deeply rooted in the analysis, would be more willing than the Dodgers to mix a new old school, and much of that comes from Dave Dombrowski, a general manager. school principals, but not at the extreme of the Dodgers.

At a time when we are witnessing a record number of home runs and strikeouts, the Red Sox are ranked ninth in the league and have the fifth lowest setbacks. Conversely, the Dodgers had the second largest number of circuits and attracted 183 times more than the Red Sox.

In other words, the Red Sox have benefited from the play of the ball.

In the meantime, LA fans will not soon forget Roberts pulling too far on Rich Hill, not just in the fourth game of the 2018 World Series, but the second game of the 2017 World Series. The following collapses of the pen cost the Dodgers in both games, and who knows? With different decision-making, we may be talking about a two-lap defeat instead of consecutive losses in the World Series.

Yes, before his last run, Hill told Roberts to "keep an eye on me". But in the history of the World Series, countless examples of pitchers have magnified their workload throughout the off season and Roberts has played caution.

Sometimes, especially in the World Series, a manager must give up the information and start using his baseball instincts again, which led him to the start. After all, rescuers can be exposed to the playoffs if they are overused and the hitter becomes more familiar.

Giants CEO Larry Baer said he wants to hire someone to lead baseball operations. It will focus on analysis and screening, but another element allows the manager to become familiar with the game. This philosophy worked well for Bruce Bochy, who oversaw three World Series titles.
