Dave Roberts said earlier this season that the Dodgers could bar certain players from using ABS challenges if they didn’t exercise sound judgment.
uncertain
they → say → judgment
For Andy Pages, that moment has arrived.
asserted
moment → arrive → Pages
In Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday, Pages made the ill-advised decision to challenge a two-strike pitch in his first at-bat that was confirmed as an obvious strike.
asserted
that → make → strike
That left the Dodgers with just one more challenge the rest of the game — a costly mistake that marked Pages’ latest failure with MLB’s newly instituted ABS system this year.

that → leave → system
“We talked a lot this year about Andy’s success rate or lack thereof [with ABS],” Roberts said, after Pages lost a team-high 14 challenges this year and had a 44% success rate that ranked fifth-worst among the club’s hitters (minimum five challenges).
asserted
that → talk → hitters
“I didn’t revisit it before Game 1 yesterday, so that’s my fault,” Roberts added.
asserted
Roberts → revisit → 1
“I did have a conversation today.
asserted
I → have → conversation
So, yeah, we’ve managed that one going forward.”
asserted
we → manage → one
Does that mean the Dodgers have told Pages not to use challenges now?
“Yes,” Roberts answered flatly.

Roberts → mean → challenges

uncertain
He → cement → games
However, October was always going to pose a test for the burgeoning 25-year-old, and not just because he only recently returned from a fractured hand that sidelined him for much of September.
asserted
that → go → September

asserted
Pages → endure → slump

asserted
He → go → games
He struck out 11 times without hitting a home run.
asserted
He → strike → run
And though he had a couple highlight moments — hitting the chopper that led to Orion Kerkering’s NLDS-clinching error against the Phillies, and trucking teammate Kiké Hernández for his iconic catch against the Blue Jays in Game 7 of the World Series — he had nonetheless lost his spot in the starting lineup by the end of the team’s World Series run.
asserted
he → have → run
How he would respond this fall loomed as a question all year.
asserted
respond → respond → question
That’s why Saturday’s ABS challenge was so alarming, serving as one of several signs to Roberts that Pages was “trying to do too much” during his 0-for-4, three-strikeout Game 1 performance.

Pages → ’ → performance
