Dave Roberts' pregame comments aged like milk after Dodgers' trash showing in Game 5

Dave Roberts made a couple of key changes to his lineup for Game 5 of the World Series. He moved Mookie Betts down to third (though it arguably should've been lower) and he replaced Andy Pages with Alex Call.

Both were necessary adjustments, and fans hoped that they would make some kind of difference. The Dodgers' offense needed something, anything, to get through the next and last games of their season.

Roberts said ahead of Game 5: "Our players will leave it all out there tonight."

The Dodgers did everything they could to prove him wrong.

Aside from a solo homer for Kiké Hernández, the Dodgers went almost entirely hitless against rookie sensation Trey Yesavage. The only other hits he gave up were both to Teoscar Hernández. Otherwise, the Dodgers were barely even making contact for outs. Yesavage struck out 12 through seven.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays' offense put up six runs in support, just like they did in Game 4. Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went back-to-back on Blake Snell's first and third pitches of the game, and then Toronto showered even more runs on Edgardo Henriquez and Anthony Banda.

Dodgers broke Dave Roberts' promise that the offense would "leave it all out there" in World Series Game 5

If we really did see the "all" that the Dodgers were supposed to leave out on the field, then they might as well just forfeit the rest of the series and let the Blue Jays go back home with the World Series trophy.

Everyone knew that the Dodgers' bullpen was going to be awful, but for the offense to be this bad? There were clues during the second half, sure, but the team was supposed to be constructed specifically for the postseason. From the Wild Card through the NLCS, it looked like they were. All of that went out the window in the World Series.

If there was no feeling that the Dodgers could even come back from being behind by two runs, five was absolutely impossible. And the Dodgers proved us right.

Mookie Betts went from popping out to striking out. Freddie Freeman, a stalwart so far and one of the heroes of Game 3, went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts through eight innings. Shohei Ohtani, who John Schneider considered intentionally walking for literally all of his plate appearances, went 0-for-4 with a strikeout.

Leave it all out there? Don't make us laugh.
