In a pivotal Game 4 of the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a frustrating defeat at the hands of the New York Yankees, losing 11-4. The game's highlight was Daniel Hudson's costly grand slam allowed to Anthony Volpe, which shifted momentum in favor of the Yankees. The Dodgers, having relied on a bullpen game, made strategic decisions that led to concerns about their pitching effectiveness. Despite having a strong lead in the series, there's apprehension among fans about the bullpen's stamina and the performance of key players like Shohei Ohtani. Dodger's fans are reminded of the precarious tightrope their team is walking; they are now just one game away from a potential collapse in the series.
