Dodgers' Dave Roberts defends Tanner Scott in his early struggle
SHARE

Tanner Scott hasn’t been the same pitcher since signing with the Los Angeles .

After setting up a 1.75 ERA in 72 innings with the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres last season, Scott has thrown a 4.56 ERA with 25.2 frame work in LA, earning five blown saves on 15 occasions.

The All-Star has made 10 saves per year leading the ball club, and has 28 strikeouts with 13 runs scored on three walks.

Manager Dave Roberts spoke honestly about his newer closer and not fully meeting the expectations unfolded for him.

“When it comes to performances, I don’t think he’s performing the way any of us expected,” Roberts said.

Bill Plunkett, on the Orange County Register, wondered whether the four-year, $72 million contract Scott signed this offseason was the reason for these rising expectations and a decrease in margins for error.

“Yes, yes. And you can see any big deal, and that’s unrealistic,” Roberts said. “For me, I think we signed him to take baseball and pitch any role, and he’s doing that. And we bet on him not just for the season, but for the postseason.

“I think the guy who took baseball deserves some degree of bounty in the early stages of his contract because he’s not perfect. He’s never going to be perfect.”

Perfection is a difficult concept to chase, but hopefully Scott’s 2024 version is easy to catch up.

Scott has admitted his obvious distrust of the game this year, but he knows there are still plenty of opportunities to turn things around.

“There have been some good things, there have been bad things. I obviously like seeing something better,” he said. “But if I’m just watching good, baseball isn’t baseball?”
