Exactly. Pulling Hill early, combined with not going with Maeda a bit longer, yanking Watson after just one pitch, and using Stripling to start the 7th rather than going straight to Morrow (in what should've been the 8th if Hill, Maeda, and Watson were used properly)... it all added up to having to use Fields & McCarthy to toss batting practice in extras...

Hope you're right, but my money is staying in my pocket, as I'm not sure the Dodgers' talent can yet again bail out Roberts' overly-analytics-based moves...
