    Madson has inherited 7 base runners all have scored including one more tagged to him.

    Game 1 was tied 3-3 when he came in, exited down 3-5
    Game 2 LAD was up 2-1 when he came in, exited down 2-4
    Game 3 was tied no base runners this time he got one out.
    Game 4 LAD up 4-0, exited with a lead 4-3

    5.47 ERA on the year 1.41 WHIP.

    That's the world series right there. Crazy.

    Believe I heard doyers gm makes significantly more than Roberts so you wanna place blame I say follow the money. Those lineups were obviously created by the computer dorks who never played any position other than “left out”

    Far as hill goes he told Roberts he was gassed before the inning so guess he should have just left him out there to be crushed, then he be a idiot for that move!

    He’s a total loser and delusional. If he had to manage a roster with less resources he would be highly exposed.

    Roberts says his pov is to manage like we are in playoffs now, which is why he's choosing lineup based on matchups (nope).

    The manager can only do so much, he's not playing the game. Look at the Lakers, you could put a pylon on the sidelines and the result would be the same. Rosters win championships, not coaches. Not saying coaches aren't important but the better the roster, the less the coach matters. Coaching matters more when the team doesn't have any talent. The players on that team have to look at themselves in the mirror. Look at the Astro's, people call them cheaters, they were down but they made a series of it and fought every game, the Dodgers look soft to me, mentally weak. All flash, no grit.

    Rosters are most important in the nfl. The dodgers have the best roster in baseball. He didn't it get to perform. That's on him.

    I know it sucks for dodgers fans now but with the pandemic, they are in the best position to get the best free agents. They will probably get Trevor Bauer and George Springer or Ozuna. So, they can look forward to that.

    LOL, how can he "get them" to perform? A motivational speech? That's a weak excuse and these are professional players making millions of dollars. I want a coach/manager to be smart with x's and o's and make the right in game decisions etc and i expect the players to come to work ready to play every game and to be motivated. Nobody can make you do something you don't want to do or are not willing to go 100% all out to accomplish. All the coach can do is bench guys.

    How long you been watching sports?

    Great coaching wins championship's. Look at the bulls before Phil Jackson. They could not win and he meshed that team and they couldn't lose. He did the same with the ultra talented Lakers. They were choking every year before he came. Dave Roberts is an idiot. He makes dumb moves repeatedly.

    It's called pushing the right buttons

    Phil Jackson was coaching Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen and Kobe Bryant/Shaq, players who hardly needed to have their buttons pushed and those teams were stacked. Coaching is overrated, overwhelming talent with average coaching will win more championships than average talent with great coaching.
