While Scott played much better for the Padres than the Dodgers, as his 4.14 ERA is nothing to write home about coming off the IL, if he does something good or very good against San Diego, it&#8217;s safe to assume those angry declarations of traitor will only grow louder.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"500\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Tanner Scott said someone called him a traitor last night<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How can I be a traitor?
