As someone who lives in San Diego everything about that franchise is bush league. They have no identity other than hating LA. That's it's. They have banners for wild card wins on their stadium. A total joke.

Lost in all this commotion was the questionable decision by Roberts to "run the white flag" when the Dodgers were only down by 5-0 in the fourth game. I hate when he does that. Especially in a rivalry game when a sweep of the Pads could have really sent a message. What message is it sending the team that they are done for the night, when they are only down five runs - at HOME?!? And what does it do for the fans?!!

As someone who grew up in LA, everything the dodgers have done since signing dave roberts has been pathetic. We have wanted him gone. He's choked over and over again. His hatred for the padres goes back to 2017 with a fight with... Andy Green? This organization doesn't even own the parking lot. And they just bought the Lakers. Dave roberts cannot control this team. He needs to go. And we shouldn't start wars with the padres. It's pathetic.

The Dodgers have made it to the postseason every year since Roberts arrived. They have won two World Series under Roberts. His career W-L record is the best among active managers. But McCourt refused to sell the parking lot when he sold the team. So clearly Roberts has to go.

I’ve seen a lot of nonsense reasons for hating Roberts over the years. And some legitimate criticisms. But this is pathetic.

From the start padre manager is jealous of the Dodger manager I wouldn't say padre players hate Dodger players It all has to do with the managers Dating back to the st game of the series I think the padre manager intentionally told his player his pitcher to hit of the Dodger players And gave that signal to the pitcher when to hit the Dodger player.
