Should I fail? Roberts, who becomes a different person in the fall, insists on hitting 93

LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is recognized as a master. Strong individual players always lead the Dodgers, a star corps, as a strong team.
But there is a fatal weakness. They are weak in the short term. He advances to the postseason like he is eating, but he has only won the World Series twice. Considering the money the Dodgers spend and the powerful lineup, it is not a lot of wins. In particular, there were many cases of ruining the game due to the use of players and stubbornness that were difficult to understand in short-term games.
Signs are unusual again this year. In the first and second away games against the Toronto Blue Jays, they came home with one win and one loss. If it wasn't for Yamamoto's brilliant pitching in the second game, he would not have beaten the nightmare of losing the first game.
The problem is Andy Pazs. Pazs has a postseason batting average of 93 this year. It is four hits in 43 at-bats. There's not even a walk. It's breaking all the flow in the bottom batting order. No matter how stable the center fielder's defense is, it will give another player a chance.
In fact, Roberts hinted at replacing Pazs ahead of Game 3. However, in the starting lineup of Game 3, Farggs' name was included as it was.
Korean fans may want Kim Hye-sung to start. However, Kim Hye-sung is also an infielder. There is a burden to entrust such a big game outfield defense.
However, the problem is not Kim Hye-sung's problem, but Roberts' stubborn mercenary skills can be the main cause of the Dodgers' failure. Game 3 is actually like a final. Will Pazs be able to repay Roberts' faith.
