NEW YORK -- As the game evolved and the margin shrank, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was confronted with an interesting choice -- the type one hardly confronts in the high-stakes environment of a World Series. One was to use his best relievers in hopes that his offense might come all the way back, giving himself the best possible opportunity to clinch a title. The other was to essentially punt, utilizing lower-leverage relievers to save his best arms for another day.
Roberts clearly chose the latter approach in Wednesday's 11-4, Game 4 loss to the New York Yankees.
