Everyone is blaming Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez for the Monday night loss to the Rockies. It\u2019s not Teoscar\u2019s fault. A manager\u2019s job is to put his players in the best position to perform at their best, Teoscar is not a right fielder, he\u2019s better in left field. Everyone thinks that these are professional players and they should be able to play any position. Yeah, they can play any position, but it may not be their best performance. Quit juggling the players around and put them where they will perform at their best.<\/p>\n

Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez was singled out for criticism over his poor defense in a game the Dodgers lost to the Rockies. Yes, he didn\u2019t do well in that game, but he has been very productive with his bat, with 74 RBIs and 20 home runs. Instead of making him the scapegoat for losing a game, why not point out the often awful bullpen performances. We are ahead in a game, then the relievers come in and blow the lead. They do this far more than Teoscar commits errors.<\/p>\n

If the Dodgers crashed the Little League World Series, no one would blink. Like the kids, their leather is leaky, their arms are toast, their best hitter is their best pitcher, their silly celebrations are pure playground \u2014 shimmy shakes and sunflower seed showers. What\u2019s missing? A team mom and the minivan for postgame DQ runs.<\/p>\n

I think the heat is getting to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Not only was Michael Conforto in the lineup on Thursday with his .190 batting average but he was batting cleanup with his nine home runs and 27 RBIs while Andy Pages was further down the batting order. Since Shohei Ohtani was not in the lineup, I was shocked that the Dodgers scored nine runs.<\/p>\n
