[@sojc7144]

James Paxton was struggling a bit but he left the game VERY winnable!!..why did Dave Roberts start experimenting again with the bullpen considering Yohan Ramirez has a questionable reputation..he was DFAd by the Mets remember?? Then he had him replaced with Alex Vesia who’s pitches are 95% fastballs..it was so obvious that Jonathan India was just waiting for that!! Why not send in Blake Treinen on situations like that..NOT Michael Grove or Vesia but Blake Treinen!! And where’s Ricky Vanasco who is just as filthy as Treinen is?? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤯No matter how strong the Dodgers are on paper..Dave Roberts time and time again since 2017..2018 up to the present has the lousiest disposition and decision making amongst all managers proven time and time again!!🤷🏽‍♂️🤯..then the after the game he indirectly blames James Paxton!! UNBELIEVABLE!!🤷🏽‍♂️🤯

[@ivancortina4398]

Exactly , Dave Robert proves time after time that he does not know how to manage relief pitching, the Dodgers could have won that game.

[@Kinnoshachi]

Pitcher choices are the biggest management issue. Idk why we going to these questionable recent pickups, What up with the consummate Yarbs, Treinen is barely hiteable

[@mikem3789]

Roberts is a complete bonehead. When will anyone see that? He doesn’t have a clue in how to manage the pen. It’s going to be another early exit playoff year. The Dodger front office just can not make this team ‘Roberts proof’, no matter who they sign.

[@mrwalnuthero]

dave roberts will never change. if the dodgers cannot get pass the nlds, that has to be it for him, right? Mattingly was canned after just 3 years. its now been 8 years with Dave and all he has to show for it is a mickey mouse ring. yes, as a Dodger fan. it was nice. but that cannot seriously be the ONLY ring in this era. if it is, that is absolutely embarrassing. we have to win at least 1 to at least validate 2020 and 2017 to some extent.

[@nkvball808]

Vesia was put in last week w bases loaded he walked in a run - in the NLDS against the Pads he came in w bases loaded and gave up a grand slam - Roberts doesn’t learn - fire Roberts

[@ivancortina4398]

Roberts doesn't know how to manage relief pitching

[@donaldsegura8541]

Roberts is the common denominator for all Dodgers underachieving the past 6 seasons. Something needs to change because what we see now repeats every season

[@dougwarr9459]

That loss is on the management. What do you expect when you bring in a dude who has already been DFAd three times already this year. !

[@mikem3789]

The only guarantee is that Roberts will go with him again with the game on the line. He always doubles down on his bad decisions.

[@mattyman5dodge101]

Did anyone notice that Taylor shortened his swing? I think that's what he was doing while he was not playing. Begs the question - why didn't you do that a year ago?

[@justinlee42]

I’m just here for the non-sequitur “Mookie should move off SS” commentary that shows up in every show. 😆

[@beverlysaylor7339]

I'm not here for it but I absolutely think it's ridiculous. Lot of Mookie Haters here. Sick of Doug talking about it Every time he gets some air time.

[@pabloramos420]

Bro why tf does dave Robert's always go to vesia ??! He throws nothing but fast balls !!!

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

His handlers judge him based on algorithms.

[@uthinkuknowme2649]

You live and die with paxton in that situation. That what separates Robert's from great managers like bochy

[@javiermora59]

DFA Yohan!!!

[@donaldsegura8541]

What a stupid acquisition by the Dodgers. And they let Nabil Chrismass go!

[@mikem3789]

Dodgers need to clean house, starting with Roberts. If Ramirez is still on the roster after that stint, clear out the front office too. Dodgers do have several injured pitchers, but they would be better off bringing up a few youngsters from the minors, than keep signing relievers that no other team is interested in.

[@yeahplayerr]

🐐GOATANI🐐 Hoping the Dodgers turn it around this weekend. Let's go Dodgers!

[@67ghostofwar]

Why did roberts leave that pitcher in, after walking how many hitters and hiting a batter? Dude had no control. Roberts needs to go

[@central07]

A pitcher must face at least 3 batters in the inning.

The hot cold swings are too frequent

[@ozarkphoenix6615]

Ive been saying this from the very beginning of the season... They need better Pitchers!

[@JohnC_90]

It’s only 3 games….F THAT….this is why we’ll lose again in the playoffs….they just stop playing and there’s never any sense of urgency 🤬

[@lancelink88]

There's no f'in passion to win, no desperation to avoid losing at all costs. What's the point of paying big money for players if you can't get them dialled into winning and accept nothing less!!

[@jesusfonseca6043]

Is better for them to struggle right now than in October

[@jerryfusilli8152]

Don't worry We gonna struggle in October as well 😂

[@cobracommander6366]

THAT part!

[@mikem3789]

Roberts will still be the manager, so don’t get your hopes up.

[@daninspiration4064]

Dave deserves the loss, how do you put in a Yohan to relieve for paxton. He could have had anyone but choose that guy. Yohan should only pitch when they are up bitg or bases empty to give him some confident. He literally threw him into a line of fire.

[@arizzonLA]

“hindsight hyenas” that’s the truth dmac

[@MichelleTung-pi5yj]

Go CT3!!!!!!

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

Let him play center! Pages died.

[@stephenhill9485]

Chris Taylor batting average over 100 whooooooo whoo...yeah Roberts he should be starting

[@savagesociety85]

The Dodgers got their cash cow Ohtani, that's all they care about.

[@donaldsegura8541]

This is the most telling take! Dodgers management is focused on putting fans in seats during regular season and that’s it.

[@stephenhill9485]

Doug Mckain turn your hat around!!!!

[@Kinnoshachi]

Paxton was too sweaty, Deno needs to get more aggressive sending runners, CT going to catch fire now, Fairchild robbed our boy!

[@luisfranco3003]

For years I've said no relievers the worst ever bad bad

[@rasskall-aka-Luke_A.]

Goatani! BigMaple regression to the mean. He'll be fine. Agreed on poster's comment 'better shaky now than Sept.' Trey Sweeny maybe?

[@luisponce7994]

Paxton should have finished the inning

[@mrwalnuthero]

idk why we we're expecting 2014 kershaw out of Paxton. Even a Tyler Anderson would be nice, in fact for the most part. he has pitched like him but Paxton is just here until Kershaw comes back and to give the Dodgers a winnable chance. He hasnt been a problem at all. This inept offense and trash bullpen decisions by Roberts has put the Dodgers further back than they should be. starting out the nlcs in Philly is gonna be so awesome guys, they'll come back to LA down 0-2 :D

[@lancelink88]

Dave Roberts has no passion to win, weak as piss

[@johnchieze530]

ohtani needs to be benched again, 1 for last 11. and what was roberts doing yanking paxton w/2 outs in 5th in favor of a recent acquisition with era of nearly 8.00, lol

[@evil6.7_]

Just a shameful team to be honest. Not looking good

[@surfinwet1]

Entro was better but why play it so many times …… once is fine DMac good work C T 3 got a double

[@davidtoney7742]

Here's what's going on Doug McCain😅 as long as the dodgers disrespect God we cannot hear you goodbye

[@john.s7559]

Even though it's a regular season game. I can see dumb Robert's doing this type of dumb moves in the post season. Which has cost the game before..🤦‍♂️

[@jeremyhopwood5822]

Dodgers are relegated to using Four A pitcher's! Dodgers BETTER address the Bullpen!!!! It's becoming an issue 😕 😒

[@julieklyman4591]

Goat Ohtani 🐐 Paxton is beyond struggling. The pitching was terrible . Why we rebuild the bullpen before the first of the year. Let's Go Dodgers!!!!! 🚶‍♀️ It is 😔 sad.

[@sfs8023]

Terrible loss, this team is miss something, I don't look at the Dodgers as a dangerous team

[@central07]

I stopped watching dodgers when they lost the perfect season. 162-0. Calm down people we are still leading our division.

[@BobSmith-qh1ej]

For now lol but Arizona has their number and don’t get me started on the padres. Those division games matter and might come back to bite them in the playoffs.

[@donaldsegura8541]

Ramirez is awful and has zero control, why do the Dodgers have him ?

[@andiepantss6838]

Learn from your mistakes...I do, but it seems the dodgers keep running it back! For those enablers of bad behavior, who say "they are first in this and that, and just come up with excuses," your the problem. This team should not be losing, if this team was me and you at our regular jobs... we'd be fired by now. If Dmac would miss a week of episodes with garbage coverage, we'd be livid. In any other job this team would be replaced in a heartbeat.

[@okguy1282]

I am going to pretend that this is better. Dodgers are off and on. We have seen of late teams who barely make the playoffs ...winning the WS or making it to the WS. So who knows. Being dominant for the Dodger of late has NOT worked out. So go ahead lose some games maybe be a team that will barely make the playoffs. A long way to go but it seems dominant Dodgers teams get blown out real fast in the playoffs. Just be a mediocre competitive team then.. Good enough. I want a WC team then. And get in by the skin of your teeth then dominate and take it all. Right?

[@josephgaeta7836]

goat tani downey go dodgers

[@davidtoney7742]

As long as the dodgers sport pride night they will lose God's blessing they are basically disregarding God some point guard will respond through injury in turmoil we have 10 days to convince the dodgers how important God is good luck😮

[@mrwhiteinca]

Unpopular take i guess but, I have a real problem with Freddie Freeman. can't stand the way he tries to make buddy buddy with every single person that comes to first.I'm not saying you have to be a jerk or anything.But go make friends on your own time buddy.

[@beverlysaylor7339]

Doug, used to think you were fair, now I'm beginning to wonder. Every and I mean every video you post, you completely put Mookie down for playing SS. I believe you must have someone else in mind like Bo or Adames (sp?) that you'd rather see in that position. I believe your putting him "down" is trickling down to these negative comments about him. Mookie didn't have to take this SS position on, He did it to help the team. If you remember a few years ago Freddie had to play 3rd base for ONE game.....He said he was a nervous wreck and would NEVER do it again, partly because he wasn't able to concentrate on his hitting.....wow, how is that helping the team??? Yet again tonight you say your going to talk about Mookie and his playing SS tomorrow. Really? Surely you can fill an hour better than running this into the ground.

Dodgers are soft. No one shows any fire or passion. Roberts is so soft, he should wear dolphin shorts. And CT3 give me a break. In 7th inning and down four, two on and 2-0 count he swings at ball three and grounds out!😡 How stupid can you be?
