"I remember in 2020 when we won it, it was 100% more of a relief. In 2024, it was 100% elation and joy."
"I think that I've learned to appreciate the wins more than ever, even the small ones. If I can't enjoy these wins, there's just too much negativity around the job."
"My quality of life on my job is considerably better now. I can say that because after 10 years I've built the trust and the relationship with the players, the coaches, and the front office. I just feel the working relationships is as good as it's ever been."
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the first game of their Wild Card series at Dodger Stadium. Manager Dave Roberts now approaches October with elation and joy rather than relief. He emphasizes appreciating wins, including small ones, to avoid negativity and reduce the risk of failure. Blake Snell produced seven dominant innings, while the bullpen endured a 59-pitch eighth inning. The victory is the first of the 13 postseason wins the Dodgers need for a second consecutive title. Roberts says his quality of life has improved after ten years of building trust with players, coaches, and the front office. He has four NL pennants and two World Series rings and seeks another championship.
