A glaring issue heading into the 2022 postseason was the Dodgers pitching rotation. Tony Gonsolin pitched one inning after coming off his wrist injury, Tyler Anderson was taken out the game way too early and the Dodgers went into the postseason without a true designated closer.
It seemed to work fine game one thanks to Julio Urias leading the way, but soon it all came crashing down as the team got deeper into their rotation. After finishing the season with the best record in baseball it becomes inexcusable for such an early postseason exit.
