Conventional Wisdom is Not Always Right

Conventional Wisdom: Fire Dave Roberts

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Many Dodger Fans blame Dave Roberts for the loss in Game 4 of the NLCS because he took Tyler Anderson out after five excellent innings. Anderson had only allowed two hits and thrown 86 pitches, and the Dodgers were ahead 2-0! What if Roberts had let Tyler Anderson pitch the 6th inning? Maybe he would have set the Padres down in order, but what if he gave up a couple or three runs? Well, of course, Roberts would have been the reason the Dodgers lost.
