Dodgers fans slam Dave Roberts' management vs Yankees: "Makes Aaron Boone look good"

Dave Roberts' Los Angeles Dodgers succumbed to a 3-6 loss against the New York Yankees on Saturday. While Aaron Judge's stunning bullpen gate-shattering catch rightfully dominated the headlines, there was also a vocal section puzzled by a certain decision of the Dodgers manager.

Roberts' decision to replace Tayler Scott with Victor Gonzalez on top of the 9th inning left many Dodgers fans on Twitter scratching their heads. Scott had a decent outing on his Dodgers debut, and fans took to Twitter to slam this change:

Solid move by Dave Roberts to take out his pitcher who was doing great just to bring in a new guy to face one batter…who is a switch hitter…and give up a bomb. Fantastic managing 🙄

Dave Roberts' decision-making repeatedly under scanner this season

Roberts' Dodgers stint has been far from unsuccessful, with the franchise winning the NL West Divisional title six out of seven times since he took over in 2016. He also led the team to their first World Series win since 1998 in 2020.

Despite this, he has not been immune to criticism this season. His recent decision asking James Outman to swing instead of going for a sacrifice bunt against the Twins invited ire from Dodgers fans. While the franchise finds itself on top of the NL West table yet again, fans want Roberts to curb his inconsistent decision-making tendencies as Dodgers faithful hope to relive glory days of 2020.
