Dodgers decisions in fateful fifth inning backfire in NLCS Game 2 loss to Braves

Dodger Stadium hosted a watch party for fans to watch the NLCS in the parking lot from their cars, and though only 300 tickets were sold, it was enjoyable.Gonsolin said fatigue had not set in, but he had lost sharpness on his slider and splitter.At that point, Gonsolin had made 22 pitches to three batters, with a three-ball count on all of them. The Braves’ lineup flipped to the topThe Dodgers had taken care this season to avoid using Gonsolin on a third trip through the lineup.

“To think about bringing one of your highest-leverage relievers in the fifth inning, in a three-run deficit game, it just doesn’t make sense,” Roberts said. Neither did asking an erratic Gonsolin to face Ronald Acuna. Gonsolin threw one strike, then four consecutive balls, one of which bounced outside the left-handed batter’s box and another of which sailed beyond the left-handed box. Acuna bats right-handed.

That brought up Freeman, the Braves’ best hitter, with two home runs in his first six at-bats in the series. The situation begged for Adam Kolarek, the Dodgers’ left-handed relief specialist. Although Kolarek had been warming up, the Dodgers turned to right-hander Pedro Baez.

I’m not sure the Post-Season Dodgers ever recovered from this moment

They've stayed with Dave Roberts too long.

I swear Dave Roberts with his trust in Baez is going to drive me looney!!!

Should they have scored more runs than opponents?

They get to the playoffs then blow it year after year.

Every year same thing looking like the 90s bills

Who else called Braves and Ray in World Series this past Spring Training?

Oops

Curse of Kershaw.
