What a disastrous weekend for the Dodgers in San Francisco. They went up north to face the Giants and received swept out of the Bay Space in embarrassing style. Additionally they misplaced Walker Buehler, possible till the final month of the yr. It was simply dangerous.
So dangerous that Dave Roberts lastly stated one thing about it. He voiced his frustration earlier than the sport on Sunday, saying that guys had been perhaps targeted on their very own at-bats an excessive amount of quite than the crew successful their ballgames.
However not everybody agrees with him on that, and that features Justin Turner. The Dodgers’ default crew captain spoke about that on Sunday, and it appears like he doesn’t suppose the crew is doing something in a different way than they’ve all season. (quotes via Juan Toribio)
“I don’t know what meaning. I don’t suppose we’re doing something in a different way. Exit and also you set the desk and attempt to provide you with a giant hit and simply didn’t. … We’ve performed job of setting the desk. We simply haven’t been in a position to get that massive hit to unplug this.”
Regardless of the case could also be, having a disconnect from supervisor to a participant like this isn’t precisely perfect. However the Dodgers third baseman clearly doesn’t solely agree with Roberts’ viewpoint of all of it. It’s been an extremely irritating week, so it’s not shocking to see a few of that boil over, in case you may even name this that.
The Dodgers will tackle the Angels this week for a 2-game collection earlier than the Guardians come into city. Taking 2 in opposition to Anaheim can be a good way to proper the ship. Coming off of a ridiculous shedding streak, the Angels took simply 1 of three from the Mets over the weekend.
