Manager needs to go. One of the best regular season teams since 2019. Yet, poor managerial decisions in almost every post season. They got lucky in 2020 IMO

Did he give up 4 bombs in an inning?

2020 was a short season.

Should he not have started Kershaw?
Should he have sat Freeman Martinez and Betts since they went 0-12 today?
Should he have started someone other than Lynn?

It’s easy to watch ESPN and be a smart manager after the fact. Robert’s didn’t lose this series.

How would you have coached different?

 

[Hammer]

Roberts needs to go… the team has no heart and are emotional less. IMO it comes from managerial leadership/personality.

No, but he shouldn’t have started to begin with. Kershaw shouldn’t have started game 1 either.

Let me get this straight, if you were the manager you would have sat Kershaw?

 

[Hammer]

Let me get this straight, if you were the manager you would have sat Kershaw?

Fuck yes. I’d have him pitch game two or three.

I would have gave game one to Bobby Miller and see how it goes. Kershaw has never been good in the playoffs.

 

[Englewood]

The same Bobby Miller that hasn’t started a playoff game? You’re giving him the ball game 1 over Kershaw? Ya, no manager is doing that.

 

[Hammer]

The same Bobby Miller that hasn’t started a playoff game? You’re giving him the ball game 1 over Kershaw? Ya, no manager is doing that.

Here’s the challenge. Bobby Miller starts game 2 down 0-1 in the series after Kershaw gets smoked in game 1. He’s gonna pitch nervous, all the pressure is on because game 2 is a MUST WIN. If you put him out there game 1, let him pitch with no fear of losing. If he struggles, maybe you go to the bullpen early and he keeps you in a close game.

Kershaw is more mentally prepared and seasoned to pitch game 2 down 0-1 than Bobby Miler. Kershaw is not a gamer anymore. I’d take my chances with Miller over Kershaw at this point in his career.

I’d probably never start Kershaw in the playoffs, put him in the bullpen for middle relief. Maybe you bring him in in the 2-4 innings and pray he doesn’t get smoked..

They probably could have used Trevor Bauer about now….

Not having Uriah was a big problem..

Hey , look on the bright side , Kershaw’s not pitching tomorrow !

Dodgers' starting pitching ERA in the three game series: 25.07.

Except that last part, I think Urias is an awesome season pitcher, post season not so much

New Rules For Position Players Pitching

psf.app

shohei otani

 

[Dirtbag]

i am wrong....

Amended Rule 4.03(c)(4) to specify that a position player may only pitch when their team is losing by equal to or more than eight (8) runs, when their team is winning by equal to or more than ten (10) runs in the ninth inning, or in extra innings.


just designate all players as two way players and its unenforceable tho lol

 

[Runs2rch]

Not to mention Roberts doesn't know how to watch the focking game.

Matchups don't mean shit in the playoffs. When a guy is on his game he is on it.

Typical Dodgers never hot when they need to be. D Backs are on fire right now.

Agree with everything you posted about pitchers/ lineup strategy.

 

[shueman]

No hits equals no wins … Betts & Freeman total FAILURE !!

While the players did not perform, it seems to be a consistent issue. Occurs once it’s the players, occurs annually - it’s the manager IMO.

Also Roberts made a statement last night during one of his in-game interviews and it was = he made player decisions because he had to think about games 4 and 5.

Well, you don’t play games 4 and 5, IF you don’t win game 3. You must play game 3 to WIN and worry about games 4 and 5 after you WIN.

This is the biggest mistake I see little league coaches make. They try to save pitching for later games but it doesn’t matter if you don’t get to those later games. They pull a pitcher under 20 pitches to save them, then a new pitcher comes in and gets bombed or walks runs in and they never make it to the next game.

 

[BHC Vic]

To me this also says a lot and would be my reason for getting a new manager.

 

[badgas]

Dodgers are built for the regular season. Trust the process , it all balances out across 162 games, blah blah blah.

All that metrics BS goes out the window when you face a hot team and you need to win 3 out five games. Zero creativity, zero pressure on the defense.

Also the curse of the sisters

Enjoy the off season.

This is a common thought for non-baseball people. Anyone blaming Roberts for this loss is naive. If he played game 3 differently and had nothing left for game 4/5, people would complain that he didn't prepare enough. It's baseball. Freeman/Betts is the best combo in baseball in my opinion, they are still gonna have off-days, like they did in this series. Managing a pro team with freak athletes worth millions is much different than little Johnny at the local park. AZ performed better than LA, no coach was gonna change that.

Don't forget this was a "rebuilding year" for the Dodgers. This one is on the front office IMO. They kicked Bauer to the curb before even hearing all of the evidence. Even with my limited connections I had seen Bauer's text messages the day before it hit the news. The Dodgers didn't even investigate it, just pulled the plug. Bauer is a complete nut job and terrible teammate but he is/was needed to finish a season.

Fun fact: His accuser is the daughter of the former USD baseball head coach. He bolted to Hawaii when this all went down.

 

[Dunerking]

Robert’s pitching choices has almost always plagued the Doyers…he needs to go.

It make’s ZERO sense to save a long middle relief guy for game 4, when game 3 is slipping away.

Gotta pull out all stops to win.

Remember putting Randy Johnson in as a closer in 2001?

I think that was game 7, so there was no tomorrow, but point is, don’t fall into thinking past the elimination game you’re playing now.

Let's not forget they scored 2 runs. 2 runs won't win many playoff games. This one is on the offense.

Chase Field was rocking last night. A lot of shit talking Doyer fans…they are used to a lot more of their fans in attendance. Lol

I just kept pointing to the scoreboard.

You’re right, I have zero knowledge of how to manage a professional baseball team.

What I do know from playing 2 years of NCAA D1 Basketball - you play to WIN once the tournament starts. You worry about the next game once you win the current game!

The statement Rogers made during game 3, made it seem like he was more worried about game 4 and 5 VS the game he was already playing - that does not work in the playoffs AND never works in an elimination game!

Since you brought up Bauer. That was a CF. A huge he said / she said issue, where both parties have to take part of the blame. The texts messages alone make you want to avoid both parties.

 

[TPC]

Roberts has a .630% W-L record, the best in the history of MLB except Negro leagues.

Roberts has won three NL pennants and one World Series in eight years. He's never missed the playoffs. He won 106 games in the one year out of the eight that he didn't win the NL West.

I see your point, but I'd argue Baseball isn't Basketball. They are playing to win with the least resource strain as possible, specifically around pitching. The Doyers made a miscalculation for whatever reason and lost.

It is just like a racing team that needs 1/2 tank of fuel to finish the race, they make a pit stop and lose the race by 1 second because they took an extra 2 seconds to fill the tank when they only needed 1/2 tank.

According to this link they are 21st out of 30 teams. I figured the triple A’s would be the lowest. https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...ayrolls-2023-highest-lowest-mets/11612107002/

 

[rivrrts429]

Six of the most regular season winning teams are 1 for 28 in the playoffs so far.

I don’t like NL baseball, I’m an AL fan, so I could care less about this series but the Dodgers went into a slump when AZ got hot. Streaks matter in this game.

It’s a game that a measly .300 average gets you a hall of fame ticket. It’s so incredibly difficult to win let alone make it to the playoffs. It’ll be an interesting World Series.

DC Comics or Marvel?

My still living and active dad lived to see the Red Sox finally win the WS.
Impossibly argumentized how much better the Al is,, my entire life I heard that and all the reasons why,, and still do.

I like the Dodgers and wish the O'Mally's still ran the team. Even though Dodger Dogs make me sick.

Fenway and Wrigley are to Baseball Fans like Mecca, the Wailing Wall, Stonehenge, the Vatican, and Foxes floating bar are to the devout.

 

[TPC]

Anyone remember Ed Bieler AKA Superfan on talk radio? A talking dipshit.

Bieler started an on-the-air petition to the Dodgers complaining how bad Dodger Dogs were.
Dope Bieler was sponsored by Clougherty Packing, selling under the Farmer John Brand name, the then makers of Dodger Dogs.

Ed had no clue the two were connected.
Bieler was fired and never returned to radio.

They playing a much superior team. Their pitching has nothing for the hot Phillies bats.

The Dodgers were better on paper but they went cold at the same time we got red hot.

Phillies are on fire....be interesting to see if DBacks can turn it around at home.... 7 game series momentum can shift... but Phillies dominated game 2....that was unreal.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

What did you all expect?
Same as Padres last year....turd out. No pitching past Gallen and Kelly. What next? Been their problem all season. Lots of young talent can get hot for a series or two. This is a team that got swept several times throughout the season by various teams. Shit, they finished the season getting swept by the Astros, and then went on a streak against the Brewers and the Doyers. I say buh bye Dbacks. Oh wait, maybe they'll get streaky again and win 4 straight.
