Agree completely. The Dodgers are winning in spite of Roberts, not because of him. There was really no reason to remove Hill, who was only at 79 pitches, and as you say, humming along. He had 8 K's, pitching probably as good as his stuff gets. And Roberts used Granderson to pinch hit for Hill, who couldn't even advance the runner. There were better options on the bench in that situation.

And again, using a .215 hitter in the cleanup spot, who stranded runners on 2nd and 3rd early in the game. Hernandez is a very good utility bench player, versatile enough to play SS and a little outfield, but he is not a cleanup hitter on a major league team playing in the postseason.

The Cubs strike me as the kind of team that you have to drive the stake through the heart to beat them. They're good with their backs against the wall. Dodgers still should win this, but Dave Roberts questionable judgment is a concern, and could backfire this week in Chicago.
