The Los Angeles Dodgers lost once again on the road to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday night by a final score of 5-3. With the loss, the Dodgers dropped to 78-62 on the season and the Pirates improved to 64-77 on the season.

This is not the first time this season that Pittsburgh has swept a very good baseball team. They are a very good home baseball team, but they are horrendous on the road. With the latest loss for the Dodgers, it seems as if the fanbase patience is thinning with manager Dave Roberts despite just winning a World Series title last year.

Los Angeles Dodgers Fans Want Manager Dave Roberts Fired After Latest Series Sweep Against the Pittsburgh Pirates

Dodgers' fans showed more frustration on Twitter on Thursday night when the team lost once again to the Pirates. For some strange reason, this fanbase wants the skipper fired. They had many different reactions about him on Twitter.

Roberts has been the Dodgers manager since the 2016 season. He has won two World Series titles and has also been to the World Series four times. They have made the playoffs in every year he has been the manager for Los Angeles. 

They currently lead the San Diego Padres by two games in the NL West standings entering this weekend. Los Angeles will begin a three-game series on the road against the Baltimore Orioles starting on Friday night. The only way the Dodgers would fire Roberts after the 2025 season is if they collapsed and missed the playoffs entirely or if something internally happens.
