Not likely, Cubs can't hit, .162 so far this playoffs, under 3 runs/game avg.  Plus, LAD pitching too good.

Where it is going to matter is in the WS, where the AL opponent is going to be a very strong team.  Roberts' moves so far have not really mattered, LAD are way better than either Ari or CC, but vs. Hou or maybe NYY, look out.

Either of those 2 teams would present a strong challenge to LAD.  Not that Roberts would accept any blame; he would simply say, as Girardi did, that's how I roll, it's worked before, just didn't work this time.  Heads Roberts win, tails those who argue the toss, they lose.

It's a wonderful bubble to live in, sort of like a get-out-of-jail card he can play whenever he wants, some higher authority that justifies anything he does.
