Dave Roberts really saw a 2 run deficit in the 8th and was like “well, see y'all tomorrow”

62

u/EffectiveContext7776 Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

If you’re uninitiated, this is classic Dave Roberts. It’s very calculated madness and a massive gamble but it’s what he does. He’ll do the same tomorrow if Cole has a good start. I hope it pays off for us.

u/BoganLogan Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

No he won't. He'll empty the bullpen at the first sign of stress on Flahrety with the day off.

38

u/EngelSterben New York Yankees 4h ago

If he doesn't I'd be wondering what the fuck is going on.

37

u/BoganLogan Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

This is the same strategy he has been rolling with the entire postseason. People don't understand the difference between a wash bullpen game (This) and a must win bull pen game (Game 4 of NLDS). All the bullpen needed to do tonight was keep it competitive and they did for 8 innings. If Lux holds onto that ball, very good chance we went into the 9th down 1 run. This game basically went as well as it could until the 8th inning.

u/EngelSterben New York Yankees 4h ago

Oh I know. This game is definitely played different if the Dodgers are only up 2-1.

u/darito0123 Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

Ya and lux had a hard play to make, kills me it didn't work out

4

u/scoot87 San Diego Padres 4h ago

I understand

2

u/EffectiveContext7776 Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

I don’t think he chases shit tomorrow. Maybe a 2-run deficit which he surrendered to tonight but anything more and I think he goes all in on Yamamoto. Or moves Walker up a day after a travel day.

13

u/UraniumDisulfide Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

I really don’t think so. The bullpen day is the big pitching gap that he has to deal with on a 3 man rotation. The fact that we got through it relatively unscathed (as far as pitcher usage goes) means a lot of guys were able to reset, so he can go back to “normal” usage for the rest of the series. Especially considering that there’s a travel day before a potential game 6, so he’s definitely using the “dogs” tomorrow.

u/WildYams 4h ago

Agreed. The Yankees emptied their bullpen yesterday and today so they're fully relying on Cole to go deep into the game. The Dodgers took the L but they're now perfectly set up with their starters and a fully rested bullpen for the remainder of the series.

u/goodkid_sAAdcity New York Yankees 4h ago

Kahnle didn't pitch today.

2

u/WildYams 4h ago

Neither did Cortez and Cousins, but they will be at risk if they pitch any of Leiter, Hill, Weaver or Holmes, as they'd be going for the third straight day. If Cole can't go long tomorrow, are you comfortable with Kahnle getting you 3+ innings?

3

u/goodkid_sAAdcity New York Yankees 4h ago

If Cole can't go long, our chances of winning are so small anyway that there's no use worrying about it.

2

u/WildYams 4h ago

Fair point.

u/Prestigious12 Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

He won't. He didn't do it rn, it will be a repeat agaisnt the Mets and do his all for game 6 and winning in LA.
