😡😡😡 DAVE ROBERTS SLAMMED FOR DECISION LEADING TO ANOTHER DODGERS CHOKE Dodgers fans and analysts are furious as Roberts’ controversial call backfires in a critical game. The decision has reignited debates over strategy, leadership, and playoff readiness. Only time will tell if this misstep will haunt the team or spark a necessary shake-up.

Dodgers, Dave Roberts agree to contract extension to take World Series manager through 2029 - CBSSports.com

Some fans are starting to lose confidence in Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts after his late-game strategy on Tuesday backfired on the team.

The Dodgers were clinging to a 4-3 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks heading into the bottom of the ninth inning at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. With the game hanging in the balance, Roberts went to closer Tanner Scott to pull out a victory.

Scott allowed the first two batters to reach base on a hit by pitch and a walk, respectively. A couple of sacrifice outs scored the tying run and gave Geraldo Perdomo a chance to end the game with a line-drive single to left field.

Scott’s blown save wasted six shutout innings from Shohei Ohtani earlier in the contest. The situation must have felt like dejà vu for Dodgers fans after seeing virtually the same scenario unfold last week.

After Tuesday’s ninth-inning meltdown, Scott became the only pitcher this season to blow double-digit save opportunities (10 blown saves in 32 chances). Many fans put Roberts on blast for continuing to put his trust in Scott despite his worrisome body of work this season.

I’m not even mad at Tanner Scott, this is basically Dave Roberts just completely blowing it as a manager

The Dodgers have had all season to figure out bullpen roles. This ‘getting guys confidence’ decision making has led to too many losses. Embarrassing skipper

Tanner Scott is literally approaching the all time blown saves in a season record. It’s not natural the way he has been used this year. Dodgers front office/Dave Roberts have intentionally used him in hopes that he’d just get better automatically by continuing to be bad in game. pic.twitter.com/DvUspHN0uO

At some point we have to stop blaming Tanner Scott, and begin blaming Dave Roberts. We understand that he trusts players, but at some point you have to take players away from situations they’re not comfortable in

Scott entered Tuesday’s game with blown saves in four of his last eight save opportunities. In a Dodgers bullpen that’s been erratic all season long, Scott has arguably been the biggest disappointment.

The Dodgers are expected to mix things up when it comes to their relief pitching to close out the season. Roberts noted that Clayton Kershaw was available in relief on Tuesday and may be an option again for the rematch on Wednesday. Even returning rookie Roki Sasaki is projected to get a shot at saving the Dodgers’ bullpen.

In a league where the trade deadline is less a strategic pivot and more a high-stakes poker game fueled by hype and hot takes, San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch just flipped the script. While contenders across the NFL were wheeling and dealing like it was Black Friday at a luxury car dealership, Lynch stared down the chaos, assessed the inflated prices, and… did nothing. Zilch. Nada. The Niners stood pat, preserving their draft capital and cap space like a fortress in a siege.

In a league built on contracts, egos, and statistics, the story of Sam Darnold’s quiet loyalty to the San Francisco 49ers stands out as something almost old-fashioned — a reminder that sometimes, football is still about love for the game and the people you share it with. When reports surfaced that the Niners were exploring trade options for their backup quarterback, few expected any kind of emotional twist. But behind closed doors in Santa Clara, what unfolded was a moment that revealed not just Darnold’s character, but also the kind of culture head coach Kyle Shanahan has cultivated in San Francisco. According to team insiders, Darnold — once a top-three draft pick and a player who has seen the harshest realities of NFL business — offered to take a pay cut if it meant he could remain part of this team, this locker room, this brotherhood.
