Gabe Kapler or Dave Roberts to be Dodgers' new manager

[HammerDown]

Dave Roberts your new Dodgers manager.

@HammerDown had it before ESPN

LOL @ the Padres.

Not good enough for them!

I still think it was dumb that Bud Black got fired. He's a great coach.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not sure how I feel about Roberts.....I just expected them to hire somebody with experience.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I thought Bud Black was the best choice.

That was the obvious choice to me given his ability to handle a bullpen and that being the achilles heel of los doyers over the past 3+ years.

+1

Neither has proven the ability to work a bullpen properly in order to preserve the fragile SP arms they have. Sounds legit. This Giants fan would be happy with either.

You were saying?

Oh, so your team does something this year that they have already been doing with the same talent and Roberts is immortal? Let's wait until the playoffs are done before going apeshit.

Universally loved!

Gotta really hand it to Greinke for stepping up with Kershaw's back went out for two months. And Anderson was a workhorse yet again, really glad he stuck around for the QO. Crawford, Ethier... Also great jobs out in the outfield.

Yep. Same players. Don't give Roberts any credit at all. A child with his eyes closed could manage this juggernaught into the playoffs.

Mattingly did. And he's pretty shitty.

The Dodgers broke the record for most players sent to the DL in one season. The previous team to hold this record lost 93 games that season. Dave Roberts lead this team to a division title, despite getting 10-12 less Kershaw starts than Mattingly did. But yeah, he's just as bad as Mattingly was.

 

[packerzrule]

they'd be better off with Gabe Kaplan

You are right. Friedman for Manager of the Year.

 

[Villain]

Mattingly did. And he's pretty shitty.

Also Dodgers had 60 or 70 something starts by rookies so clearly it was the same team with a different manager.

Great job Friedman.

 

[Villain]

Great job Friedman.

You're like a hot take machine. How did you get such a unique perspective?

 

[Villain]

Oh and for the record, I love the way Dave Roberts has managed this team. He's doing a great job. The only move I question is pulling Rich Hill from his possible perfecto, but it seems like the right call. Since that game, he's been pulled early and skipped a start.
