“He’s such a garbage fielder” “What is wrong with Dave Roberts?” - Teoscar Hernandez’s critical error sparks fan frustration amid 7-game losing streak

Teoscar Hernandez is facing the fury of MLB fans after making a critical error in a recent outing. The LA Dodgers' outfielder played in the first matchup of the three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Stadium on Friday. Los Angeles lost 8-7 on the night to extend its losing streak to seven games, the team's worst skid since 2017.

During the contest, Dodgers pitcher Dustin May pitched the ball, and Giants' Jung Hoo Lee hit it. However, Hernandez, who was playing on the right field, failed to judge this flyball and missed the catch, leading to fans online unleashing their fury on the Dodgers player.

Reporter Blake Harris uploaded the video of Teoscar Hernandez's critical fielding mistake on X.

A user commented under the video and called Hernandez a "garbage fielder."

"He’s such a garbage fielder. Don’t remember him being so bad last year in left," one fan said.

Another user commented and questioned LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

"Yall wanted him back lol deal with it. We could have done so much better," a fan said.

Let's take a look at some more reactions to Teoscar Hernandez's error against the San Francisco Giants.

"More like an “experiment” that’s been disappointing at best," one said.

"He is literally costing us games with his defense. That ball absolutely needs to be caught," another said.

"So glad I don’t have to watch his fielding anymore. I remember in one game when Teo dropped two routine fly balls," one fan said.

Some of Teoscar Hernandez's best performances have come when he has played as a left fielder, and that's where many Dodgers fans want to see him play. Furthermore, Hernandez is dealing with foot soreness and has been listed as day-to-day.

Teoscar Hernandez had made a similar mistake back in June

One of the reasons fans are urging for Teoscar Hernandez to be played as LF is that Friday's game against the Giants is not the first time he has made a catching error. On June 27, the LA Dodgers faced the Kansas City Royals and ended up winning.

While the game ended on a positive note for Los Angeles, Hernandez made a critical mistake. After the second innings, the team maintained a 3-1 lead, and things were going well for it. However, that's when Hernandez failed to judge a flyball from Kyle Isbel.

This error in judgment led to the Royals scoring a run, thus taking the score to 3-2. Then, as well, Hernandez was subject to heavy criticism from fans. But things ended on a happy note for the Dodgers as they won 5-4. They also won the series against Kansas City 2-1.
