Agreed. At the very least we need him to be more than a black hole. Says something about how solid Will’s been in his career for a catcher when the decent season he had has us concerned about him.
Game 2 was more important. If you takeen game 2 , game 3 can be testing knack but since we lost game 2 this game 3 is almost a must win to gain back momentum.
There was a good suggestion to put Freeman at DH and Shohei play 1st base, but Roberts shot it down. Freeman is hobbled, and playing DH could save him from more injury.
@@joeman6730 He's got to channel Lasorda's drill instructor methodology with players, carry a big stick like Bruce Bochy, and keep egos in check like Jim Leyland. This is asking alot, but with great power comes great responsibility.
Yea, putting someone at a position they've never played before in the biggest games of the year is insane! Much better to give Freddie a day off and put Muncy there than to do stupid crap
It's a sprained ankle Freddie will be fine. Plus ohtani has never played 1st before. Ask Red Sox fans how that went with Kyle Schwarber a few years ago (horribly)
Will Smith has called 47 scoreless innings out of the last 51 innings!!!!! Everyone's praising the pitchers which is fine. But more people should be praising Will. Walker did praise him postgame and said he pretty much threw what Will signalled.
Man Robert you have to plan for incase emergency . If your pitcher is killing it and they want to go for another innings Let them! Vise versa pull them out if you see the steuggle.
I think he meant neutral as in not specialized too much in one direction, so he can pull them any which way. I personally would have used "versatile" instead of "neutral". I don't think he was speaking on the dependability/execution of the bullpen. But that's just my interpretation of it, definitely an interesting choice to use the word neutral, regardless.
Another adjustment that Roberts turned down-move Ohtani to 2nd and Mookie back to 1st: Ohtani’s post season hitting stats-0-19 with bases empty; 6-8 with runners on. Makes sense to move him back in the batting order.
@@leftfield123 Yup. Keep saying, he’s an amazing catcher that has league average offense (and throughout his career above average), and that’s good enough for me.
@yagamil3323 i guess yur on the same dumb boat... yu would probably side with the casuals not using shohei to pitch even if its a WS clincher. Thats what we play for
He never played 1st. It would be crazy to start playing him there this series. Only thing crazier would be to have any pitcher outside of a dire emergency who hasn't pitched all year to pitch in a WS clincher. It's not little league.
Aside from one HR Will Smith has been M.I.A. and we need him hitting to win
Agreed. At the very least we need him to be more than a black hole. Says something about how solid Will’s been in his career for a catcher when the decent season he had has us concerned about him.
We need to trade his ass right after this
Said going into this series, Smith and Buehtane are the x factors. If they play well, we win.
hes been mia hitting since the all star game
😢 1:49 1:49 😮@@JonathanAufderheide-ln8pr

Not really. Game three is a great to win but not a must. However would be very very good to win.
Beuhler for today and game 7? May luck be with Dodgers!
"Put Me In Coach"! ⚾ 💙
DODGERS COMING IN HOT💙
Will Smith just delivered big time!!!
That reporter, Barry, asking Dave to reveal a whole NLCS strategy when it’s only game 3.
Slow your roll.
Kind of a misleading title there. Thought maybe he was gonna say Yamamoto gets a potential game 7 the way you worded it.
Yeah what was the surprise 🤔
He did at 7:20
Click bait
Click bait. Yep
What is the surprise?
The surprise is at 7:19.
There was a good suggestion to put Freeman at DH and Shohei play 1st base, but Roberts shot it down. Freeman is hobbled, and playing DH could save him from more injury.
It's better to let him rest completely.
Doc is such a darn tool

Regarding 9:57, when did a single fewer day become "very" short rest?
Will Smith has called 47 scoreless innings out of the last 51 innings!!!!! Everyone's praising the pitchers which is fine. But more people should be praising Will. Walker did praise him postgame and said he pretty much threw what Will signalled.
Buehler is a big gamble.
7:33 bro took 40 secs to ask one question.
Man Robert you have to plan for incase emergency . If your pitcher is killing it and they want to go for another innings Let them! Vise versa pull them out if you see the steuggle.
Does anyone else find it odd that at 5:07 he describes the BP as "neutral" rather than as something positive like "dependable" or "an asset"?
I think he meant neutral as in not specialized too much in one direction, so he can pull them any which way. I personally would have used "versatile" instead of "neutral". I don't think he was speaking on the dependability/execution of the bullpen. But that's just my interpretation of it, definitely an interesting choice to use the word neutral, regardless.
@@Maxiiim02 Makes sense. I appreciate the explanation.

Smith has played bad all year just not now so he is do to break out
I feel like it’s unlikely that he’ll get really hot, but we just need signs of life and to have him be more than pretty much an automatic out.
He slowed down after the all star break
Except that he's at a defense first position and all the pitchers rave about him.
@@leftfield123 Yup. Keep saying, he’s an amazing catcher that has league average offense (and throughout his career above average), and that’s good enough for me.
I was hoping this was Dave Roberts EXIT INTERVIEW !!
yeah, just think where the team would be if they had a good manager. Maybe division champs and a lead in the NLCS even with a beat up pitching staff.
Why is he soooooo automatic with his responses "shohei wont play the field"... how is this not a possibility with freddie injured
bruh theres no way as a coach youd actually consider it? or is this you showing your ignorance?
@yagamil3323 i guess yur on the same dumb boat... yu would probably side with the casuals not using shohei to pitch even if its a WS clincher. Thats what we play for
@@joeman6730 lmao casuals?😅dont expose all your ignorance in one thread😝

@ebl8037 who ever said play him at 1B?
Clickbait
He did 7:19
ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS !!!
WORST MANAGER IN ALL OF BASEBALL !!!
