Thursday night’s loss to the Phillies was just about as bad as it gets. At least in a blowout loss, fans realize what’s happening and don’t get their hopes up. But the Dodgers clawed back from a 6-run deficit and tied up the game in the 8th inning, only to watch it quickly slip away the following inning.
The Dodgers also left Tyler Anderson in for a very long time. Many would argue that he should’ve been taken out of the game after the second inning. But Dave Roberts needed innings, and he wasn’t about to go to his bullpen that early.
