As Scherzer walks the second batter in the 5th, Dave Roberts calmly calculates how he can use his entire bullpen in the next 3 innings while leaving the last 6 outs for his closer.
That at bat was a killer.
That’s what separates the great ones from the rest of the pack.
It begins.
Roberts to the rescue!
Taking Max out after (eta) 4.1 is a very Dave Roberts type move.
Sticking with the script.
Bad bad move imo but Robert’s has been here before
If Kelly fucks this up Roberts is going to need bodyguards.
After 4.1. We’re still in the 5th.
And they’re bringing in Joe Kelly
Joe Kelly coming in.
This is where Cardinals Devil Magic meets a just and loving God prepared to take Joe down a few pegs.
Bold move, Cotton.
Dave Roberts and overmanaging. Just like clockwork.
Now West is gonna fuck this up.
West is gonna fuck this up
There’s Joe West fucking up the zone on 2 pitches.
Not only that, but Scherzer is a free agent after the season. You think he liked getting the Blake Snell treatment when he pitched like the NL Cy Young after the midseason trade.
4 fucking balls three off the plate and one low.
If the Dodgers lose, they should fire Robers and hire Dusty Baker.
