Dodgers division title is another triumph for Dave Roberts
The celebration on the field was subdued, no dogpile, no dancing, just veteran champions acting like champions. Let’s go!” Roberts shouted while waving his division championship hat to the roaring fans after the Dodgers’ 7-2 clinching victory over the San Diego Padres. This happened Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres, when Roberts controversially took off the bunt sign for Miguel Rojas after one strike and the shortstop promptly hit into a game-ending triple play, leaving the great Ohtani stewing on deck and the Dodgers’ title hopes briefly on the brink. “Inside the clubhouse, we’ve dealt with a lot … but yeah, we’ve still had a pretty good season,” said Roberts. Roberts has had a pretty great season, and, barring a third straight postseason meltdown, here’s guessing Dodger officials will recognize that and reward him with an appropriate contract extension this winter.
