""I am surprised that they got off to a slow start, but you just never really know. Spring training is just not predictive. It's just not.""
""The takeaway is we're 3-1 and the guys that we expect to swing the bats aren't swinging the bats right now. So that's a good thing. They'll hit.""
""Will Smith picked up where he left off with the Dodgers, and leads the team with two home runs and five RBIs this season.""
""Mookie Betts is also off to a much better start to the year compared to last season, hitting a homer and driving in five runs.""
Dave Roberts expressed confidence in his left-handed batters, who have struggled early in the 2026 season. Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Tucker, and Freddie Freeman have a combined 8-for-43 record. Roberts noted that spring training results are not predictive and emphasized the team's positive record despite the struggles. The Dodgers have faced tough matchups against left-handed starters, but upcoming games against right-handers may provide relief. Meanwhile, Will Smith, Andy Pages, and Mookie Betts have performed well, contributing significantly to the team's success.
