3) Letting Yamamoto pitch in Game 7
4) Not emptying the bench too early in Game 3 (unlike Schneider)

I’ve been a Dodgers fan for decades and a Roberts critic for seemingly almost as long. In fairness to him, he’s gotten MUCH better. His handling of the pitching staff in the 2017-18 postseasons was abysmal. Still makes dumb decisions but he’s better.
