Got another manager here taking out his starter for no good reason.  Rich Hill was humming along, did give up a solo shot, but otherwise was on his game.

Down 1-0 bottom of the 5th, runner on 2nd, no out, pitcher due up, Roberts pinch-hits, batter naturally pops up, doesn't advance the runner even, and the end result of the move by the manager was to lose his very effective starter.

Now, Roberts can make these highly-questionable moves as his bullpen is very good--as good as his starter in this game, if you get to where I've drifting....

Girardi went this route in game 2 vs Cle, though his team was way up in the game, so the pitching change made even less sense.  That move blew up in his face and shoulda cost his team the series and Girardi his job, but Cle managed to blow the series and save NYY manager from himself.

LAD are so strong that it probably doesn't matter what foolhardy moves Roberts makes, his team will prevail.  But the ends don't always justify the means.....
