DAVE ROBERTS DES DODGERS defends Tanner Scott in the middle of the struggles at the start of the season
Tanner Scott has not been the same launcher since his signature with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
After setting up an MPM of 1.75 last season in 72 rounds with the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres, Scott launched a 4.56 MPM through 25.2 work images in Los Angeles, as well as five backups devoid of 15 opportunities.

The All-Star has 10 stops over the year, which leads the ball club, and has an absurd withdrawal 28 to three goals on balls, but 13 points deserved in 27 appearances eliminate the promising ratio of withdrawals / walking.
Manager Dave Roberts spoke honestly about his new closer and how he does not fully meet expectations for him.
“I think that, in terms of performance, he did not execute the way we expected him,” said Roberts.
The Orange County Plunkett Bill has wondered if the $ 72 million contract over four years that Scott signed this off -season was the reason for these increased expectations and the reduced margin of error.
“Yes, that’s the case. And you can watch any big contract and it’s unrealistic,” said Roberts. “I think that for me, we signed it to take baseball, to play in any role. He does this. And the fact is also that we bet on him not only for the season but for the playoffs.
“I think that a guy who took baseball deserves a certain grace in the childhood of his contract. Because he is not perfect. He will never be perfect.”
Perfection is a difficult concept to continue, but I hope that the 2024 version of Scott is easier to catch up.
Scott has recognized the obvious damage of his game this year, but knows that there are still a lot of opportunities to overthrow things.
“There was good. There was trouble. I like to see more good, of course,” he said. “But if I only saw well, baseball would not be baseball, right?”
