Dodgers' Simple Plan on Scouting Report to Beat Yankees in World Series Rang True

The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their eighth World Series championship in franchise history earlier this week by following their scouting report that proved to be more than accurate.
The Dodgers' plan? Let the New York Yankees get in their own way.
New York Post's Joel Sherman wrote Thursday that the Dodgers considered New York to be the worst-positioned outfield in baseball heading into the World Series. But that's not all.
"What the Dodgers told their players in scouting meetings was the Yankees were talent over fundamentals," Sherman wrote. "That if you run the bases with purpose and aggression, the Yankees will self-inflict harm as was exposed by [Mookie] Betts, Tommy Edman, Freddie Freeman, etc. That the value was very high to put the ball in play to make the Yankees execute. They mentioned that the Yankees were ... the majors’ worst base-running team by every metric."
All of those words rang true in the World Series.

This doesn’t make any sense

How does it not make sense?

Is it not saying that the dodgers approach was for them to hit the ball in play and make the Yankees execute fielding and getting outs?
But then it says the Yankees are bad at base running.

Yes? What doesn’t make sense?

Are the Yankees bad at base running or are they bad at fielding when the other team is base running
Posted on 11/1/24 at 10:19 am to TackySweater
They are bad at both

Not a good look for Boone.

They are saying there was value on the base paths because Yankees blow at fielding and they also blow at running the bases.

Figured they were just referencing the epic fielding collapse they had.
Did they make a lot of base running errors in the series too?

It’s also just the types of players they acquire. If you’re a bad baserunner at 30 after playing baseball your entire life I don’t think it’s likely you’re gonna get better. Their FO (at least when it comes to position players) has long favored players with raw tools but not a ton of skill or ability to do the little things. Chisholm is talented and was good for them but is a perfect example of it

Even their own broadcasters could see it.

The ability to pitch and hit a baseball essentially comes down to talent.
Base running and playing defense is essentially hustling, attention to detail and not necessarily reliant on raw talent.

Has anyone in the Dodgers organization confirmed this report? It was written by a NY Post reporter and seems like a hit job on the Yankees by a disgruntled fan.

In fairness, anybody who has watched a second of Yankees baseball this year knows that. It doesn’t take an army of stat nerds to realize that if Soto, Stanton, and THE JUDGE aren’t hitting bombs, the Yankees aren’t winning.

These are skills that are not being taught at every level of baseball now.
We need more practice and less games. By the time these guys are pros, it is too late for them to learn.
