Landon Knack

So I think that it's very shocking to me.

They brought him up over guys like maybe Landon Knack.

I mean, you kind of hear he's saying not so much instead of cop.

It's because I thought Knack was going to get the call instead of anybody else, which is kind of where I want to go to this article.

He would miss basically the first couple days of the NLDS, so that's not really an option.

Landon Knack? Kyle Hurt, Seth Halverson, Bobby Miller, Paul Gervais.

I mean, those are other options that they could go to if they wanted to add another right-handed pitcher.

But in my opinion, you're going to go nine relievers.

I know on Tuesday they threw Jackson Ferris out there.

Then Wednesday was Landon Knack.

Last night was Cole Irving.

It's going to be all hands on deck for the game tomorrow.

And then we had a Walker Buehler who was coming back from his second Tommy John, or trying to, and, uh, really not built up.

And then [laughs] our fourth starter that year was Landon Knack.

So that's what we rolled out in 2024.

The year of the dogs, our bullpen won us the World Series that year, uh, you could argue.

Like, that's what he needs to practice.

He does not need 12 at-bats against the equivalent of Jackson Farris down in Triple-A, Landon Knack down in Triple-A.

He doesn't need that.

And again-

And for the Dodgers overall for the season, this has been a league average team in terms of bullpen ERA, but having Brock and Roll Stewart off the injured list, having a guy like a Blake Treinen back, that's been able to help this team out quite a bit.

Would not doubt it if we see a little bit of bulk as well from perhaps someone like a Landon Knack.

I know that he threw a few days ago, so he's probably someone that's gonna be contributing for this.

Seth Halverson has been really rough for this team, so you probably wanna be avoiding him.

And there was a starting pitching problem.

You know, if it was Jack Flaherty or if it was Walker Bueller or, you know, Yamamoto, they even had they got a couple of starts out of Landon Knack during that playoff run where they ended up moving on to win the World Series.

Then you take a look at last year.

Well, it was a bullpen problem, but the big difference between this year and last year was the Dodgers had a ton of depth with starting pitching, and that's how they managed to overcome those bullpen issues.
