Los Angeles Dodgers fans were let down after the team wrapped up a three-game series against the New York Mets this afternoon at Citi Field.

One fan felt that several of manager Dave Roberts' decisions in the game cost the team the game. Starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw pitched excellently in his debut outing since being activated off the injury list, going 5 innings and allowing one earned run.The Dodgers' relief pitching became a major issue, allowing four earned runs in three innings of work.Viviana Americana@Gardener196Sorry but once again, Roberts made some bone-headed decisions on the relief pitching. twitter.com/Dodgers/status…Los Angeles Dodgers@DodgersFINAL: Mets 5, #Dodgers 341735FINAL: Mets 5, #Dodgers 3Sorry but once again, Roberts made some bone-headed decisions on the relief pitching. twitter.com/Dodgers/status…Having utility player Chris Taylor bat in the ninth inning was also a decision that had many fans flustered. Taylor struck out with one out in the inning. He is now batting .224 with a .693 OPS.Jeff Sullivan@sullyhazleton@Dodgers Why was Chris Taylor even batting in the last inning? I can’t believe they didn’t pinch hit a lefty. When he walked to the plate I said you might as well just turn around and go back1@Dodgers Why was Chris Taylor even batting in the last inning?
