「他們打的是團隊棒球,因此很難制定對策,」羅伯斯表示,釀酒人的投手、守備和跑壘都非常強,三振數也不多,都能確實將球打進場內,他們陣中也有康崔拉斯(William Contreras)和包爾斯(Jake Bauers)這樣的打者,能把球轟出球場,必須特別提防他們。
羅伯斯認為,他們每個打席都能展現高品質的內容,並且確實執行棒球這項運動應有的打法,這不只是所謂的小球戰術,也不單純是靠著頑強拚搏來打球,他們打的就是最純粹的棒球。考量到這些特點,可以說,他們的比賽風格確實非常難以制定對策。
羅伯斯接著說道:「在現代棒球中,他們的打法可說相當獨特,我很喜歡那種棒球風格。這幾乎就是總教練墨菲(Pat Murphy)所推崇的棒球風格,而球員們顯然也認同這套理念,並確實付諸實踐。」
羅伯斯指出,藍鳥、釀酒人和光芒等球隊也是採用這樣的打法,這種趨勢如今比以往更加明顯。他坦言,道奇必須打出最好的棒球才能贏球,因為對手完全不怕他們,首戰有可能對上國聯塞揚獎大熱門米蕭羅斯基(Jacob Misiorowski),這將會是一場艱苦的戰鬥。

The 32-year-old Shintaro Fujinami was once the strikeout king of the Central League. He has started 161 of 198 games in his career in Japan, accumulating 58 wins, 55 losses, 11 relay successes, and an average ERA of 3.46. In addition, Fujinami once soared 102.6 miles (approximately 165 kilometers) when he was with the Major League Orioles in 2023, which is still the fastest record for a Japanese player in the United States. Shintaro Fujinami left the 3A Mariners in the middle of last year and moved to the Japanese club Yokohama DeNA in July. However, he only played 3 games in the first team this year, swallowed 1 loss, and had an ERA of 6.30. He had a total of 12 strikeouts in 10 innings, 14 walks, and 1 hit ball. His batting average was 0.300, his WHIP per inning (WHIP) was 2.60, and his fastest ball speed this year was 156 kilometers. Shintaro Fujinami was eliminated by Yokohama at the end of September. According to the Japanese media "Sports News", Orix has begun investigating Fujinami in order to strengthen its starting pitching force, taking a fancy to his rich experience and past performance, as well as his fireball of more than 160 kilometers. The team plans to continue to track Fujinami Shintaro's movements and wait for the end of the out-of-competition test meeting in November and relevant players to open negotiations before taking further action. If Fujinami is finally successfully recruited, he will once again form a golden partner with catcher Mori Yuya. The two were teammates at Osaka Kirin High School, which will inevitably attract great attention from the outside world.
