Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0manager Dave Roberts must’ve assumed the entire National League lineup was filled with his everyday players.<\/p>\n

That, at the very least, is how it came off.<\/p>\n

Roberts pitched Clayton Kershaw for nearly an entire inning early on despite him being named to the team thanks to the commissioner himself.<\/p>\n

Roberts even rubbed the Dodgers signing of Freddie Freeman \u2013 which occurred years ago at this point \u2013 in the face of Braves fans.<\/p>\n

Atlanta did the right thing by giving\u00a0Freeman a standing ovation. He will always be a fan favorite at Truist Park.<\/p>\n

However, one can’t help but wonder why a Freeman ovation was necessary in the first place, much like the\u00a0Fried ovation, and the Kershaw ovation.<\/p>\n

It’s almost as if Roberts was making a show of all Braves fans have lost in recent years, though he had no control over the Fried situation.<\/p>\n

Dave Roberts gave Freddie Freeman the chance at a standing ovation, but not an actual Braves player<\/h2>\n

Freeman got the standing ovation he deserved from Braves fans. He also received it during his All-Star Game intro, however. Roberts opted to double down just to twist the knife ever so slightly.<\/p>\n
