Yeah.. GET RID of him... Anyone could be successful with that lineup.. He is NOT the reason for the years of success.. The players are. The Dodgers will not win with Roberts. He makes way too many piss poor decisions. PLUS - the pig pen that is the dodgers bull pen is absolutely horrible. Being such a horrible bullpen, he consistently take one out to put in another. Even if a pitcher gets three out in only three pitches, that clown will still take him out. Why can't he realize that when you put in that many pitchers, the odds are that one of them is going to have a bad day. Thus, giving up the game. Right now, if the Dodgers are not leading by 4-5 in the 8th innings, the pigpen is going to give it away. Whether they say so or not, the offense has got to be fed up with Roberts giving away the games. FRONT OFFICE - SEND HIM PACKING
His pitching strategy among starters and relievers especially in the post season makes no sense to me I do love my Dodgers though. True blue for 55 years BTW why get rid of Heyward and keep Taylor?
Roberts is gone if he doesn't win a ring, period. Batting Ohtani leadoff and driving in the least amount of runs possible for a guy that hits XBH's like they're going out of style is ridiculous. Judge has almost 30 more RBI's for a bad team because he bats third every game.
Only reason Robert's is still the manager is because he doesn't push back on the front office......that's why they keep him. No real manager is going to let the front office decide who is playing & when. Also, Roberts is not equipped to manage. He can't stick a foot up someone's ass when needed, can't figure out different ways to win games & not ready to do ANYTHING it takes to win a Championship. I love the Dodgers w/ everything I have & that's why I'm upset about this. We should be a dynasty w/ what we've had over the last 10 years. Lakers....Pat Riley UCLA.....John Wooden Dodgers......Walter Alston Those were leaders who did whatever it took to win Championships. Dave Roberts is not that guy. Dodgers could still win it this year w/ the talent, but if we're being honest, Dave Roberts is not a Championship manager.
For a team that has spent the most $ ever on their players, all the manager has to do is not screw anything up like Roberts has done for years. He is not a good manager, period. You also have to look at all the egos on that team. LA teams in general have had that problem, just look at the Lakers and the issue with LeBron and his HUGE ego.
I'm sincerely hoping that Dave Roberts succeeds. But I understand realities. I wish it were possible to add someone just to make pitching changes/not changes for him. By the way the Oakland "gent" who invented Sabermatics or whatever it's called now, ruined the game.
With a winning percentage like Roberts has another team will swallow him up. I think the Dodgers should keep him. However, should the front office decide not to keep Roberts his replacement should be Mike Scioscia in my view
Man everyone blames Roberts but it’s the players who should be accountable not Dave. Dave doesn’t pitch play defense or hit so when we lose you blame him which I think is bullshit!!! It’s a team sport and teams lose on the account of their actions not on the account of the manager. I don’t wanna see skip shumaker as our manager he is trash and isn’t doing shit with the Marlins why would he be a good fit. Now if Dusty Baker or Mike Scioscia was available I’d be all in.
New York Posr? The players are responsible for the team’s winning. Coaches teach them hitting and pitching, but players are always the ones who decide who wins.
Keep Roberts. Dave can't held responsible for the mass of injuries and the long recovery periods. It's almost like hiring career cripples, with Walker Buehler the poster child of procrastination. They spend millions on rehabilitation with full benefits with little to show for the investment. The Dodgers don't need a squad of cheerleaders - Kershaw, May, Gonsolin, Yamamoto, and Ryan sitting on the sidelines, showing no improvement.
I do not believe that we need to make a change at this time. While I agree that Roberts has done some dumb things over years it's no different than anybody else. I feel that he has earned the chance to stay on longer. I like his overall style. I even liked him when he played for us was back when. Stay the course. Even Tommy had some bad years but we stuck with him. Give Roberts the same chance.
Bad time to even mention it... heading into play offs.. Keep the guy when or loss World Series.. sound's like there going to get rid of him regardless.. Sad
