Roberts isn't going anywhere, come on. That 7th inning was a BABIP-fest and it's hard to blame him directly for a lineup outage.

Everyone forgets even the most lopsided playoff series matchup in baseball is 70-30 odds. This is not football or basketball.

And just as an example for this game, is it Robert's fault he doesn't have a true closer / weird assortment of bullpen arms? It's the front office that tried to replace Jansen (admittedly past his prime) with freakin' Kimbrel (even more past his prime, to the point of not even rostering him right now).

And yeah, the rain doesn't seem as bad now but let's see with Hader here. He's turned it back on since that midseason swoon but he can walk the bases loaded right with Chapman.

This means that the AL team gets home field in the WS, all three left had better records than Padres/Phillies.

Congrats, Pads!

For all of their greatness, The Dodgers main accomplishments remain a Little League World Series and a “But the Astros cheated!”
