“Very clumsy. The dodgers agitate the white flag historically early in the rout towards Padres

Major League Baseball does not have a mercy to end the matches early.

Tuesday evening in Petco Park, the dodgers could have used one.

In recent years, the club has kicked many matches in the interest of protecting its puning employees often knocked out and in digital disadvantage. But in a defeat of 11-1 against the Padres of San Diego, they took the act of de facto confiscation at levels, even they had not been previously launched.

First of all, they let the minor leagues call Matt Sauer wearing it – in every sense of the sentence – on an exit from nine, 13 strokes and 111.

Then, faced with a deficit of nine points at the bottom of the sixth, they sent the position Kiké Hernández to the mound to present the rest of the game, the sooner a real position player had never taken the mound in a competition in the history of the Dodgers franchise.

“Very clumsy,” said manager Dave Roberts. “It doesn’t feel well.”

The Dodgers’ decision to pack, even before the seventh round, was rooted in logic.

They are currently working with only four healthy starters. Their enclosure of the equally struck lifts leads to the majors in sleeves and came out of five work images in an additional victory the day before. And when Hernández took the mound in the sixth, the match had long been lost, the Padres (38-28) repercussions on Sauer with three points with two outings in the third round, simple scores with fourth and fifth, and four points in the sixth.

“I know that my work is just to eat as much as possible,” said Sauer, who entered the game as a loose man during the second round after the opener Lou Trivino first launched a goalless. “Obviously, today, he did not have as well things, but I felt like I was just there by throwing the ass, trying to compete and trying to eat as many sleeves as possible for the enclosure of the lifts.”

On the other side, the AS of Padres Dylan ceases to mow the Dodgers, abandoning three strokes while removing 11 strikers out of seven -sleeves aimlessly.

“We had a few chances early,” said Roberts. “But I think that when the game escaped, you could just see things go back.”

“You just have to look at where our pen is and enjoy what we have the next two days, it was not intelligent to hunt and Redline guys,” said Roberts. “A guy who was available tonight, [Michael] Kopech, I’m not going to launch it six or 7-0 in sixth round, so as not to have it available tomorrow. As the rules are, we have respected. This is sort of what you do to move forward and win the games that followed. “”

However, a position player taking the mound in sixth round to finish an eruption loss represented an almost unprecedented use of the tactic; The one who has become so popular among MLB clubs in recent years that the League had to restore eight points when the teams can do so.

Two years ago, the Cleveland Guardians had David Fry Pitch four innings at the end of a rout against the Twins of Minnesota, the first time that a player in the real position launched at least three innings in a match since 1988, according to USA TODAY.

In 2018, the Arizona Diamondbacks used two position players for the last 4 rounds of an unbalanced defeat in Coors Field against Colorado Rockies.

The 2 rounds of Hernández (in which he abandoned two points, three strokes and two steps) scored the longest outburst outing by a real position player in the history of the Dodgers.

“Again, that is to say that you want to continue?” And it’s worth it compared [trying] To win tomorrow? Roberts said.

Given how Tuesday went, they better hope. Otherwise, their loss of 10 points will be discomfort without much reward.
