"I do feel that in totality, we're playing our best baseball of the season," Roberts said. "The win-loss hasn't reflected it, but I think that's what's most important. There's just been a lot of good things and a lot of growth from a lot of players, which has been fun to see."
"The thing that I think is pretty telling is [that with] all that we've gone through, that this team stayed connected," Roberts said. "That's where you get to learn a lot about players individually and collectively. It gets rough, it gets hot, you start to struggle and [have] injuries - we didn't make any excuses and we kept fighting. That's the thing, is even when it was our darkest, I just always saw our guys stay together and compete. I believe the talent with the fight is going to show through October."
The Dodgers clinched the NL West for the fourth consecutive season while winning six of their last eight games. The offense has begun hitting its stride and the starting rotation has delivered spectacular performances. The team's recent run included a 5-0 win to avoid a Philadelphia sweep, three convincing wins over the Giants, and a dominating clincher against the Diamondbacks. The roster is nearly at full strength with October approaching. The club maintained connection through struggles, injuries, and hot conditions, refusing to make excuses and continuing to compete with talent and fight that should translate into October.
