Is it right to rest Will Smith, who is very strong against left-handed pitchers, in order to save Austin Barnes, who we can't expect much from in offense when a left-handed starting pitcher is on the mound?

[@hlmkrhaw]

I hate when Roberts does that it seems like every rest day for will there's a lefty pitching and it's so annoying considering how good will is against them

[@Prone2Thrill]

Pre-game comments were how tough Colorado is - and Catchers have it the worst.

I honestly believe the Dodgers will have no chance of winning a WS with this Manager at the helm. His pitcher management is mind boggling. Tonight’s game is a prime example.

Will used to catch every game except Clayton's. There seems to be a lot of emphasis this year on trying to keep guys fresh for the playoffs.

[@DoGuov]

Here's the thing about Austin. The guy only catches maybe once a series. So why is his batting so damn bad? How is he not working on his batting on his off days? His ABs looks so bad almost every time he comes up to bat.

[@Prone2Thrill]

I don't AGREE with pre game planning WHEN you still need to read the situation and eye test. Landon could have easily gone another inning. Instead you ASSume that the guy coming in will be on. Dave loves to burn wins like this in the regular season and gets away with it due to the talent overall and the div lead but come playoffs he pulls this script crap and it bites him and us fans every damn time!

You don't make enough money to get a better microphone.
