In spite of giving the Los Angeles Dodgers some back to back World Series appearances, still the manager Dave Roberts has said to be garnered quite a reputation which is for over-managing during the postseason. It is said that these things are common in general which is during the 2018 playoffs but Roberts is said to be the king of over-managing.
This was seen that plenty of that especially during the NLCS which is against the Milwaukee Brewers. Roberts is said to make some unnecessary pitching that changes or for some substitutions. This was said to be continued to the World Series that is against the Boston Red Sox when Roberts has made a few baffling decisions during the Game 1.
It has been seen that Roberts will be removed his ace Clayton Kershaw which is from the game in the fifth inning. He has said to come out initially, but this is after allowing the first two hitters to reach the base. Roberts has said to have made some decision to go to the bullpen. The pitch count by Roberts was said to be just at 79.
Kershaw was seen far from the normal dominant self, and it is seen that he is living up to the reputation of wearing down during the postseason. He has said to be given just three runs initially and then other two were charged to him after he went away from the game. But till that time it has been seen that Kershaw was able to keep Dodgers in the game as well as he is more capable of pitching out of danger. It is said that Roberts needs to trust his best pitcher as it is only the fifth inning and he has thrown about 79 pitches only.
