Betts, the Dodgers shortstop, is a six-time Gold Glove winner in right field. Hern\u00e1ndez is not. On Monday, Hern\u00e1ndez threw to the wrong base in the third inning, allowing the Rockies to score their second run, and in the ninth he was unable to hold Ezequiel Tovar<\/a>\u2019s bloop double. Two pitches later Warming Bernabel<\/a> bounced a single up to middle, scoring Tovar to end the game.<\/p>\n The Betts conversation afterward was private. But the circumstances that led to it were not. Clearly the bullpen is not the Dodgers\u2019 only problem.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got to get better out there. There\u2019s just no way to put it,\u201d Roberts said of Hern\u00e1ndez. \u201cIt\u2019s not a lack of effort. But, you know, we\u2019ve just got to kind of get better. We do.\u201d<\/p>\n One way to do that is to move Betts back to right field, where he won six Gold Gloves in seven seasons, and use Alex Freeland<\/a> or Miguel Rojas<\/a> at shortstop. Freeland played nearly 300 games at shortstop in the minors while Rojas has played more than 940 games there in the majors.<\/p>\n \u201cWe should have won that game,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cThis is a hard one.\u201d<\/p>\n Hern\u00e1ndez is second on the team with 74 RBIs and is tied for second with 20 home runs, so the Dodgers (71-54) need his offense in the lineup. But his defense \u2014 especially his range, which is at a premium in big parks such as Coors Field \u2014 has increasingly become a source of frustration for Roberts.<\/p>\n It was that and more Monday.<\/p>\n
