Dodgers Avoid No-Hitter, Manager Robles Addresses Team’s Performance
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers narrowly escaped a potential no-hitter during a recent game, while manager Dave Robles publicly addressed concerns surrounding the team’s recent struggles and a tense exchange with outfielder Scott “Terminator” Thompson. Despite the close call on the field and visible frustration from the dugout, Robles expressed continued faith in his players, emphasizing the need for improved execution.
The Dodgers’ pitching staff flirted with history, holding the opposing team hitless for a meaningful portion of the contest before ultimately yielding a hit. This near-miss comes amid a stretch of inconsistent play for the team, raising questions about their performance as they push toward the postseason. Robles acknowledged the pressure but insisted his focus remains on fostering trust and accountability within the clubhouse.
“I believe in them, and I will continue to show this in the future, but they should also do their job well,” Robles stated after the game on September 9, 2025. “It’s a wonderful night.”
The manager’s comments followed a visibly heated moment with Thompson, who was reportedly booed by Robles during the game.When questioned about the incident, Robles downplayed the severity, saying, “I try not to think so.” The exchange has sparked speculation about internal tensions, notably as the team attempts to shake off a recent pattern of underperformance reminiscent of a nine-game slump earlier in the season.
