\"Dodgers'<\/p>\n

Teoscar Hernandez may need to put in a few extra practice reps at right field after Monday\u2019s loss against the Colorado Rockies.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers were tied with the Rockies 3-3 with one out and the bases clear in the bottom of the ninth inning at Coors Field in Denver, Colo. Rockies batter Ezequiel Tovar hit a towering pop-up to shallow right field.<\/p>\n

The play looked like it was going to be a routine out to get the Dodgers one out away from extra innings. But Hernandez made the play look anything but routine.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers outfielder got a brutal jump and was unable to make up for it with his legs. The ball dropped right between Hernandez and infielder Alex Freeland. Tovar ended up at second base.<\/p>\n

\n

The Dodgers WILL NOT win a World Series with Teoscar in right field.

The play was ruled a double, but it looked about as close to a dropped-ball error as you could get. Statcast pegged the catch probability of the play at 99.4%. Warming Bernabel hit a walk-off RBI single two pitches later.<\/p>\n

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts reacted to the play after the game, emphasizing the need for Hernandez to improve if he is to stick at right field.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got to get better out there,\u201d Roberts told reporters. \u201cThere\u2019s just no way to put it. I know there\u2019s effort \u2013 it\u2019s not a lack of effort. But the thing is, we\u2019ve just got to get better. We do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dodgers signed Hernandez to a three-year, $66 million contract in the offseason after his stellar 2024 campaign at the plate. But even his batting numbers have taken a dip this year.<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s still provided the Dodgers with 20 home runs through 101 games, Hernandez\u2019s .255 batting average is his lowest mark since 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
