The aimless appearance came to the heels of an atrocious section of seven games during which Scott granted 12 points (10 deserved) in six rounds. He blew three stops in four opportunities, going 0-2.
“Right now, this is the way the game is taking place,” said Roberts about the functions closer, via Bill Plunkett from Southern California News Group. “You have to somehow choose matches, and which throws baseball well, and in whom you believe, which can manage this situation. There is not an individual closer at the moment. I think I have shown this, using different guys in the lever effect and finishing games and things like that.”

The difficulties of the 30 -year -old Scott season were a surprising development for a launcher who saved 22 games last season – and would have accumulated more if he had not been exchanged from the Miami Marlins to the San Diego Padres in mid -season. Scott finished the year 9-6 with an MPM of 1.75 and made the National League Stars team in July.
This season, he was anything but reliable. It is an undesirable development for a team that lacked rays of lever lifted raised, Blake Treinen and more recently Kirby Yates with various injuries. On Friday, the dodgers learned the right -hander Evan Phillps – another older old – would need Tommy John surgery at the end of the season.

“I think that with Tanner, it’s just a missed place,” said Roberts, via Plunkett. “My eyes, and talk to our pitch guys, [tell me] Tips are good. It’s just that the order is not where it must be right now … because obviously the intention is not to go to the middle part of the plate. »»
Scott granted 27 strokes in 27.2 heats this season; Last season, he granted 45 strokes in 72 rounds – only 19 in 45.2 rounds before trade in San Diego.
