Dodgers Rebuke Booing Fans

Yasmani Grandal is going through a bit of a rough patch in the NLCS and fans aren't quite as accepting as his teammates. However it does seem like the Dodgers management is listening.

During Game 3, Grandal struck out three times. The final strikeout stung extra hard since it was that nightmare scenario of bases loaded in the ninth inning. Fans spent much of Monday's game booing and chanting "We want Austin" whenever Grandal was at the plate. Enrique Hernandez came to his teammate's defense, challenging fans to suit up if they think they can play better. Meanwhile manager Dave Roberts said he will listen to the fan pleas, replacing Grandal with Austin Barnes in Tuesday night's matchup.
