Dodgers fans and Dave Roberts are not happy with Yasmani Grandal:
The first question put to Roberts after the game was about the boos, about Grandal’s performance on offense and defense, and about how the manager could keep running Grandal out to catch.
Roberts answered the last part of the question in his first four words.
“We’ll play Austin tomorrow,” Roberts said.
At this point, the Dodgers ought to consider starting Barnes not only in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday, but in Game 5 on Wednesday, and evaluate from there.
Teams can tolerate three bad games at the plate. That happens. It’s tough to tolerate bad defense at catcher, when that defense is vital to the game. Grandal allowed three passed balls and made two errors in the first three games of the NLCS. Austin Barnes gets a shot tonight.
