Roberts called out his team Sunday morning for not having the “mindset” of doing whatever it takes to win a game each day during their recent slump.
SAN FRANCISCO – For all the justifiable concerns about the state of their pitching staff with Walker Buehler sidelined by a flexor strain, something else was bothering Dave Roberts before Sunday’s game at Oracle Park.“We need to win more baseball games and we haven’t. It doesn’t feel good to lose.”“People get caught up in their own individual paths,” Roberts said. “But the whole kind of focusing on just winning a game and whatever it takes to win that day, we’ve got to get back to that mindset.
That should have imparted a sense of urgency about winning every game possible, Roberts said. But he isn’t sure his team feels that recently. “So again, it’s not a lack of care. It’s not a lack of try. But the mindset has to get back to whatever it takes to win a game.” “I don’t know that answer, but I need to find that out,” he said. “Because it’s getting more clear that we’re not doing enough to win baseball games. We’re too talented, and I need to find that out.”Monday is the first of three off days in an eight-day stretch for the Dodgers, helping them absorb the loss of Walker Buehler to a flexor strain at least until Andrew Heaney’s expected return to the rotation next weekend.
