Tyler Glasnow said on October 6, 2026, that he would prepare for his start by observing how the Braves lineup was swinging and looking at the plate while maintaining his normal starting rotation routine.
Glasnow said his preparation would focus on the hitters’ general approaches rather than highly specific information, describing it as “nothing like too specific.” He noted that he would consider “how the guys are swinging the bat, what they look like at the plate.”
Glasnow stated that he has had multiple years of postseason experience, including pitching in relief during the previous postseason. “Each year it's like I've been there a little bit more and I'm a little bit more comfortable,” he said, adding that “the experience of doing it is is certainly helpful.”
He also said he completed a simulated game on his normal six-day schedule: “I did a sim game on like my normal six day.” Glasnow explained that being placed in postseason situations provides useful experience, saying, “Anytime you're put in a situation, it it helps with the experience of everything.”
Glasnow’s preparation therefore remains tied to his normal six-day schedule and his observation of the Braves lineup, while he views his postseason appearances as experience for handling whatever situation arises. The Dodgers bullpen, he noted, has been performing well for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
