Dave Roberts taking (undue) heat after Blake Snell NLCS decision almost cost Dodgers

Blake Snell was an absolute monster through eight innings against the Brewers in NLCS Game 1 on Monday night. Dodgers fans already knew they could expect at least six innings of solid work from him after he went seven against the Reds and six against the Phillies in the Wild Card and NLDS, but he somehow exceeded expectations again against Milwaukee.

Dave Roberts pulled him after he took the Brewers down in order in the eighth, sitting at a comfortable 103 pitches. He didn't allow a run, only gave up one hit, didn't walk anyone, and struck out 10 hitters.
