The Los Angeles Dodgers have emerged as a significant force in Major League Baseball, boasting the 2024 World Series title and new star players. Max Muncy, a two-time All-Star, recognizes the pressures this success brings as rival teams aim to dethrone the reigning champions. He emphasizes the unique challenges of playing for the Dodgers, where the intensity and performance expectations are amplified. Muncy notes that the Dodgers consistently face opponents at their peak, particularly at their home stadium, Dodger Stadium, which enhances the competitive atmosphere.
"I've always felt we have a target on our backs... It was that way last year. It was that way the year before. And we didn't have titles those years."
"It's part of playing for the Dodgers. That's why Doc says playing for the Dodgers is not easy."
"We see it in the scouting reports - a guy throws 93, 94 (mph) and we face him at Dodger Stadium on a Friday night and he's 96, 97."
"You have 50,000 people - more than anywhere else in baseball. The lights are brighter. The music is a little louder. Thatâs just part of the experience."
