""I don't think we're collectively swinging the bats the way we were early. Sort of started in Colorado, I think. It's one of those things where baseball, hitting is definitely cyclical. In total, we're at the top or near the top. But the last 10 days, it just hasn't been synced up. We just haven't got those hits when we needed.""
""Yeah, I mean, we're going to go through that during the course of the season. Stretches like that happen. So just keep getting guys on base, and ultimately we'll get them in.""
""It's a long season, as we all know. You'd like everyone to get off to a good start, but a lot of guys are not performing to the back of their baseball cards. So you just hope that the work and the consistency of work will show benefits and it will balance out at some point.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers' offense has recently struggled, scoring fewer than five runs in six of their last nine games. Manager Dave Roberts noted the team is not swinging the bats as effectively as earlier in the season. The team has performed poorly with runners in scoring position, particularly in the last ten days. Key players like Kyle Tucker and Will Smith have underperformed, while Shohei Ohtani has just started to hit well again. Roberts remains hopeful that consistent work will lead to improved performance.
