    If Kershaw pitches and gives up 3 runs you would have blamed it on the manager as well.
    i have not seen a single playoff series where you didnt blame the manager of the losing team

    I thought they would win too. Figured it would be high scoring. Like 8-6 or something.

    Dodgers had 2 men on base nearly every inning.

    That's what happens when you're not clutch.

    Hitting wins ships bro.

    Not pitching.

    It's been proven.

    Times have changed.
    Yes it was proven bro. Lol you watch the series? The dodgers got shut down except one game and in that game they scored in the ninth. Besides game 5 the dodgers did dick all with runners on base. Houston pitchers held the dodgers in check. Take a closer look. How did Cody Bellinger do besides striking out almost every at Bat. How about Justin Turner? Puig did hardly anything. The dodgers scored 22 runs in 6 games besides game 5 which was an anomaly. The stros scored 21 in 6 games. That's 43 runs in 6 games for an average of 7.15 runs per game. Your trying to convince yourself. Keep trying. Pitching wins titles.

    Kershaw and Jansen came in and didn't give up a run.. Start them and maybe the final is Dodgers 1 Houston 0..

    We'll never know thanks to Roberts..

I had nothing on game so not biased.
    What would indicate you would get a few good innings out of yu against the Astros? Absolutely nothing. Terrible decision

    No numbers or stats would agree with starting him rotation rest only explanation lol? If Roberts was smart, he would have started kershaw and if he shit the bed 90% of the headlines would have been on kershaw. No roberts eats this and should be shit canned...cito Gaston only black manager to win World Series go figure.

    Bellinger choke

    Darvish choke

    Kershaw didn't choke though should have started him.

    He's the best pitcher in the game

    And he's obviously you're best pitcher Roberts fukk.

    That was the chance.

    Kershaw choked on a fat one in game 5 with chance to put series away for all intensive purposes!

    Imo Dude made great decision not starting kershaw game 4, they got the W and had his ace in position to put a strangle hold on series in game 5, kershaw got all kinds of run support and did what he does best and lost his team the series..

    Did Roberts get out managed a great deal in this series? Yes. But he also put his team in position and mr "greatest pitcher" got his ass handed to him, the manager can't make his guys perform!!

    Yea not saying starting him game 7 was a great idea. Just think he did make great move way he went about game 4-5 and Kershaw just let him down.
