Dave Roberts plans to shake up his lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS, but the Dodgers' Game 1 loss to the Giants shows big changes must be made.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler and manager Dave Roberts talk about the struggles that led to a 4-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday.
Pollock had a superb regular season, batting .297 with a career-high .892 OPS, 21 homers and 69 RBIs, but he had one hit in his last 10 regular-season at-bats, went 0 for three with a strikeout in the wild-card win and looked overmatched at the plate Friday night, striking out twice and tapping back to the mound.San Francisco Giants starter Logan Webb leaves the Dodgers frustrated at the plate and Walker Buehler gives up two home runs in 4-0 loss in NLDS Game 1 loss.
“I thought he had good command tonight, mostly to the glove-side to right-handed hitters,” Roberts said of Webb. “Then he went to the slider and changeup down below. We just chased a lot more than we should of, and if you don’t make adjustments, then they’re going to keep going to the well.”Many scoffed when the Giants signed Tommy La Stella to a three-year, $18.75-million deal in February.
La Stella, named to the American League All-Star team with the Angels in 2019 before fouling a ball off his front leg and fracturing his right-tibia in early July, back-handed Justin Turner’s grounder behind the bag and made a glove-flip to shortstop Brandon Crawford, who tapped second and threw to first.From asset to liabilityBellinger was one of the worst hitters in baseball this season, with a .165 average, .
“You can’t bet on production, but you do give yourself a better chance when you stay in the strike zone,” Roberts said. “There’s a few guys who, in my opinion, took great at-bats all night long, but outside of that, there guys at the top and bottom of the order who didn’t take good at-bats tonight.
