Dodgers reporter roasts annoying fan account over important Justin Wrobleski outing

Justin Wrobleski put up one of the weirder lines you'll ever see on Sunday afternoon. Even though he's been the second-most valuable pitcher in the Dodgers' rotation thus far, he ran into trouble early against the Braves. He gave up three consecutive singles and a bases-clearing double to put Atlanta up 4-0 in the second.

The Dodgers' flagging offense failed to put up a run until the bottom of the eighth — two, on a Max Muncy homer — but only after Wrobleski had given up a solo homer to Drake Baldwin in the top of the inning. Matt Olson took him deep in the ninth, then Wrobleski got his first two outs, then he hit Mike Yastrzemski in the head.

He was finally pulled with a final line of 8 2/3 innings pitched, seven runs allowed (Yastrzemski would go on to score on a Jorge Mateo single off of Wyatt Mills), one HBP, one walk, seven strikeouts. He threw exactly 100 pitches.

Although he was just one out away from a complete game, the yank was both understandable and necessary. Wrobleski had fully lost his stuff, and he'd done his job. The Dodgers' bullpen had been overused in the past few days, and their starter gave them a day off. Mills was fresh, having come from Triple-A earlier that day.

Still, some fans couldn't put the pieces themselves together. Hyeseong Kim Muse, one of the more divisive fan accounts on Twitter, called out journalists for not asking Dave Roberts why he chose to pull Wrobleski instead of letting him finish the job. Katie Woo of The Athletic had the perfect response.

HSK Muse responded by doing the only thing they could: putting their hands up and apologizing.

Sure, it's on journalists/beat reporters to interrogate certain facets of every game, but it's also on them not to ask questions with obvious answers. Even the worst armchair managers out there would've been able to conclude why Roberts pulled Wrobleski without needing to hear an explanation from the skipper.

100 pitches isn't a career high for Wrobleski (he threw 109 in six innings against the Cubs just a few weeks ago), but he was clearly gassed, and the Dodgers would've risked making his line even more lopsided if they kept him in the game.

Let's use our critical thinking skills instead of coming after hardworking journalists, maybe.
