Not true. Could have started Landon knack. I’d have brought in knack after brazier took out the first 4. Would have pitched knack to the 5-9 guys and then through the lineup 1-9 the next time. Only allowing the top part of the lineup to see him once. My hope would’ve been getting through three maybe four innings. That would have taken me to the the fourth or the fifth where my bullpen would need to give me four or five innings
But that’s not what he did. And it worked out. And people wanted him to do the same and he didn’t.
Starting kike in cf was bold with his 200 ave this year. I don’t think of him as a cf. I’d think pages.
He also moved the lineup around. I think Roberts is a hey buddy but he gets my credit for this series
Roberts has lost plenty of them as well.
He did nothing these last two wins imo.
O stalled so he put in Kike and Chris Taylor in G3. Taylor had 4 k’s. No manager would put CT back in.
kike is Dodgers Mr October. Roberts didnt do that.
He went bullpen game because he had no choice. Again no credit.
Playing Rojas was a disastrous decision.
Padres choked. Good. They’re assholes.
Dodgers played good D tonight.
Yamamoto pitched lights out. Again thats not DR.
Stuck with will smith but barnes is out.
Not having to pitch Kershaw helped our cause. Remember 1st innings last year against Arizona? Think Padres rocked him early as well?
