Tanner Scott is struggling again in the defeat of dodgers against the 10 -round dishes

Back in the spring, Dave Roberts did not temperate the expectations when he was asked about his first impression of Tanner Scott.

“He is like an assassin,” said Dodgers manager about the club’s 72 million dollar signing. “Fear in the box of the striker against him is certainly real.”

Recently, however, the only real murder that Scott made was the chances of the Dodgers.

And Monday evening, he and the team underwent another fatal example, the de facto abandoned two points at the top of the 10th round in a 4-3 defeat against the New York dishes.

Instead of hitting strikers with its superior MPH radiator from the 90s, and storing them with a nasty power cursor, Scott was the victim of a familiar model in what was his second losing decision of the season (to accompany five vouched backups in 15 opportunities):

He missed locations with his quick ball. He gave hard contact without generating enough swing and missing. And that the fear that Roberts was expecting in spring was present in one place, emanating through a nervous fans base to watch it throw.

“Missing locations, especially in the area against strikers, which I am supposed to be in different places,” said Scott about his difficulties. “I don’t hit my locations, and it costs us.”

The cost on Monday was particularly rigid, while Scott’s latest error was wasted a solid start of six innings and two -rounds from the Dustin May launcher and some heroic end of the game of Slugger Shohei Ohtani – who erased the team 2-0 deficit with an imposing home run in the seventh and attach the sacrifice of the ninth.

“We are doing a good work of resilient,” said Roberts, “to come back.”

But then Scott was summoned from the enclosure of the lifts, and everything happened aside.

Francisco Alvarez obtained a quick ball cut in the center to lead the Channel and hammered a double RBI on the head of Teoscar Hernández in the right field. Francisco Lindor chose it at home in the next stick, swarming aggressively on a quick bullet of 2 and 0 in the middle and kneeling.

“Yeah, it was hit a lot,” joked Scott when he was asked how he believed that his quick signature ball played. “It fears right now. Last year, I had a lot on that. This year, it is affected and I lack locations. ”

Indeed, the highest paid member of the Dodgers enclosure has the highest average of the won unit, with the amount of Scott at 4.73 after the defeat on Monday. His last two weeks have been particularly brutal, with two losing decisions, three blown judgments and 12 points (10 deserved) all in the last six sleeves.

“I think that with Tanner, it’s just a missed place,” said Roberts. “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. »»

Since the start of the season, Roberts has deserved to be tagged Scott as the team official of the team – and he reiterated on Monday that there is no dedicated person who currently occupies the role.

Again, Scott has 10 stops in a team where no other lifter has more than two. And given the aid body struck by the team – which is missing Blake Treinen, Michael Kopech and Kirby Yates, and will be without Evan Phillips for the rest of the season – Scott was bequeathed with the majority of the homework of ninth round.

When asked if it could change progress, Roberts’ response was not entirely clear.

“You have to somehow choose matches and who launches baseball well and in whom you believe, who can manage this situation,” said Roberts. “There is not an individual right now.

For a certain time on Monday, it seemed that the Dodgers (36-24) would not require such end-of-game calculations, dragging despite a productive start from May.

After abandoning a Home Run of the advance in Francisco Lindor in the first, the right -hander settled in a groove and withdrew nine consecutive games, starting with a double game of Juan Soto later in the Channel. He destroyed the mound after having removed Brett Baty to finish the fourth with runners in the corners. And although the dishes (38-22) marked again on the double RBI of Brandon Nimmo in the fifth, can fly Pete Alonso with the loaded bases to limit the damage to another threat.

The six rounds of May gave an important personal meaning, helping him to establish a career summit in workload in a single season by overshadowing the threshold of 60 rounds for the first time in his career in career.

“I feel like I am in a good place,” said May, who lowered his time to 4.09 while launching in June for the first time in a season. “There is certainly room to grow. But the greatest thing for me at this stage, I am in good health. I feel healthy. There is no pain … I just have to continue building it.”

Although the dodgers were detained aimlessly for five rounds by his counterpart, the right -handed veteran Pete Blackburn (who was doing his season in season after fighting an injury), Ohtani pushed them back into the match with a 424 -foot home run in seventh; Its 23rd long ball from the MLB season of the season carrying throughout the Enclosure of the Right Field.

In the ninth, the dodgers finished the return. Tommy Edman struck a simple head and stole second. Hyeseong Kim took a single on the ground that transferred Edman to third place. Then came Ohtani, who skied a deep fly ball on the left for a fly of sacrifice.

But after Scott’s additional error, another two -point deficit turned out to overcome.

Freddie Freeman led the bottom of the 10th with a walk (to accompany two strokes earlier in the night), and Andy Pages followed with a single RBI which obtained the scoring in one. But then Max Muncy struck. Will Smith pinched for Michael Comforto to the last second – literally emerging from the canoe with Comforto which already digs on the plate – but flew to the center. And Edman burned a return directly to relieve José Buttó, concluding a night in which the dodgers went two for 11 with runners in the score position and blocked 11 men on the basis.

“One loss is a loss,” said Roberts. “But when you feel that you did enough to win a late match, then not to get out, it stings a little more.”

This pain was no longer acute for anyone other than Scott. Instead of helping the enclosure of the survivors to survive a wave of renowned injury, its difficulties have again left the dodgers for dead.

“It happened too much,” said Scott. “It’s frustrating, especially when we ringolize and it did not go in my sense.”
