Dodger talk: Justin Turner and Mookie Betts address the team ahead of NLDS vs. Padres

LA Times  

Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner delivers talks with teammates moments after arriving for a workout at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, the night before Game 1 of the NLDS on Monday. A few minutes before 6 p.m. CT Monday, before they conducted their final workout at Globe Life Field in preparation for their National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres, Dodgers players formed a circle in right field. “Watching the A’s-Astros game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, “and just seeing those two clubs at our ballpark is sort of weird in a postseason setting.” The image aptly encapsulated the 2020 Major League Baseball season, the oddities and hoops hundreds of people have jumped through to make sure a team is crowned World Series champion later this month. “I feel like all the series we played during the regular season was playoff baseball,” said Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. “It was great baseball all the way around.” The Padres were the opponent the Dodgers, in some ways, needed to keep their foot on the gas en route to their eighth straight division title.
