Dodgers postgame: Dave Roberts Reacts After Yamamoto Loses No-Hitter Bid, Dodgers Lose to Orioles

Dave Yoshinoba was obviously excellent tonight. Does it make this loss even more frustrating or more challenging to accept considering how well he pitched and just how quickly it ended? Um yeah, I mean he was fantastic tonight beyond. Um so to lose uh this game when there’s a lot of good things that we did uh certainly like we did um yeah makes it tougher. It’s certainly a wasted opportunity or performance from from what Yoshobu did with the off excuse me yeah with the offensive side just how the guys the at bats I know you’ve been talking a lot just you’ve been seeing really positives from them but how they were building innings. Is that where you would like the guys to be when you talk about that urgency, the consistency? Is that kind of felt like it’s been the closest you’ve seen? Yeah, closest we’ve seen in a while. Um I I thought, you know, throwing out 10, 11 hits, something like that. I I thought, you know, the at quality was good. Even with some guys obviously in our lineup that are struggling, um trying to find their way, but I just think in totality there was a lot of good things. uh situationally we did some nice things and uh you know we scored enough to win tonight like this kind of you don’t like to have the woe is me attitude but do you feel a little snake bit after something like this? Um you know you you uh but I I I mean I I guess but I think also tonight you know Blake had a bad night. Um, so you know, when you walk two guys and you know, you can’t put guys away, it’s hard to say you’re snake bit. Um, you know, you you make your own breaks and tonight he wasn’t good tonight and you know, very uncharacteristic, but you know, it happened in the dugout kind of shift from what Yoshi was doing to when that ninth inning starts going sideways on you guys and it starts to feel real that the game’s kind of slipping away. I think, you know, when Blake uh started losing kind of command and, you know, you kind of try to, you know, feel that he’s done it many times over that he can get an out and um, you know, regardless of handiness and, you know, he’s been our best reliever for quite some time. And so, um, you got to give him some leash. I gave him some leash to, uh, you know, secure the game. and um until I felt that you know that that four pitch walk I just felt like he didn’t have the confidence to to you know continue to go or to make a pitch and um you know River hit a good pitch down below and uh got a base hit but that’s certainly not on Tanner tonight. He came into a tough spot and a guy took a good swing on a on a good pitch. Have you ever gone from so high to so low in a game like that? Especially, you know, one that’s not like a postseason elimination or anything just the way that that inning played out. Um it’s hard to recount a game like this. Um you know, where there’s so many things and you feel like you can get a little bit of momentum, um build off a great outing by Yoshobu and um you know, take that into tomorrow. And then obviously it completely flipped and yeah, the guy the guys fought hard. So um you know with the way we played I got no complaints. It was just you know we just couldn’t get that last out. You said make your own breaks because I sort of feel like maybe some stuff could compile on itself like you pressure trying to like close out a game like that. Uh I mean I I I think in most cases but I just feel that Blake Trinan has been you know in some of the toughest spots that any relief pitcher you know can imagine. So I just have a hard time believing that any spot or moment’s too big for him. And um so yeah. So but but and but I think that yeah some players I think the moment but I don’t think today was a night that anyone was trying too hard or pressing you know it just came down to Blake had a bad night. Speech count was quite high after the eighth. And what was the decision making process for you to send him to the N? I just felt that I think I I felt he deserved a chance to get a no hitter. Um I felt that, you know, the guys uh you know were feeling it for him, were were pulling for him. Um and I wanted it bad for him. I did. And um you know once you gave up that homer and that was still a pretty good pitch then you’ve given up you know the shut out the no hitter and then for me I I felt that you know we pushed him far enough and so we’ve got to be able to get one out and that’s just you know we just got to be able to get one out. What did you say to Yoshi on the M? [Music]
