Live discussion [canceled]: How long will Brandon League remain Dodgers’ closer?

Due to technical difficulties, today’s live chat has been canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Join Times Angels writer Mike DiGiovanna and Dodgers writer Dylan Hernandez at 11:30 a.m. today for a live video discussion of their respective teams.

Talk this morning has centered on the Dodgers, considering closer Brandon League had another bad out Monday night, blowing a 4-1 lead by giving up three runs in the ninth inning of a 5-4 Arizona victory.

As Times baseball columnist Bill Shaikin wrote Monday,

“On what might be the most discouraging night in a season full of them, the Dodgers’ beleaguered closer blew a two-run lead with two outs to go, negating a fine start by Clayton Kershaw. The Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for four runs in the ninth inning, escaping with a 5-4 victory and leaving fans to boo the manager, all the while wondering how long Mattingly can continue to use League anywhere in a close game, let alone in the ninth inning.

“If he gets his outs, they’re cheering for him,” Mattingly said. “If he doesn’t get his outs, it’s a bad decision. That’s the way it is. I understand it.

“I’m trying to put people in the best position to get the job done. Brandon did the job in the past. If he gets his outs, it goes forward and nobody says anything.

“As soon as he didn’t get his outs, it’s my fault he didn’t get his outs.”
