"Could Dave Roberts Be The Next Grady Little?"
Because I believe Gump committed the worst managerial error in baseball history - I'm willing to listen to other contenders, but I doubt I'll be swayed - this mlb.com headline seemed like an overheated "hot take".
As I read more about the Dodgers' brutal extra-inning loss to the Nationals in NLDS Game 5, however, it didn't seem quite so crazy. (The answer to the question is still a resounding No, however. And not only because Roberts has superhero status among Red Sox fans.)

Roberts, as helpfully pointed out in an amusing thread by HardballTalk writer Craig Calcaterra, has made an extremely questionable decision that has cost his team in every one of the past three postseasons.
