Causing fairly well so far. It is not only that the dodgers win matches. As shown on Wednesday, it is how they win matches, this time by triumphing despite three errors and two basic blunders and a badly played fly ball.
“Tonight, I was a little stunned,” said Roberts. “I was stunned by the way we played. I did not recognize this club in the first two rounds. And then he is simply stunned, we found a way to win this match. We did not make the company by winning this game. But in the credit of our guys, we continued to fight. ”

As Presumptive Blake Snell Is it trembling for a second consecutive departure, allowing five non-deserved runs fed by four balls on balls, and what happens? It is rescued by five non -purpose rounds assembled by readers named Ben Casparius, Kirby Yates and Jack Dreyer.
Will anyone explain who is Jack Dreyer?

“Tonight, of course, was the worst match we played,” said Roberts. “But the pen was fantastic.”
Then there was Muncy, after two launch errors and three ugly plates appearances in a season full of them, abandoning his new torpedo bat for his old faithful and binding the game with one of his big brand swings in the eighth.

“It was fun … We have the impression that this clubhouse has a little of the attitude that we had last year that we never left a game and that we are resilient, and we transported it in this season,” said Muncy, adding later: “The guys do not give up. We are fine, we are going, doing it after.”
Do not forget Michael Comforto, run in an out and kill a rally, but always have the composure to set up the great success of Muncy with a single head in the eighth.
“Each match, each stick is important, each game … The goal does not give up, the competition,” said Roberts.

Finally, of course, there is Ohtani, and there is only one way to describe a guy who rewarded the fans who aligned themselves five hours before the match for his Bobblehead doll with a real live color.

“Shohei being Shohei at the end,” said Roberts for the umpteenth time.
So when are they going to lose? You tell me, when are they going to lose?
An obvious place would be in two games on Saturday in Philadelphia, when the phillies veteran, Aaron Nola, looks Kid in difficulty Roki sasaki. But Nola was hammered by the Washington Nationals in her first game this year and the Dodgers offensive has already saved Sasaki once.
After the Phillie weekend series, the Dodgers play three games against the miserable national and three against the Chicago Cubs, which they have already beaten twice in two attempts.
After the Cubs series, they play 20 games again against the desolate tastes of Colorado, Texas, Cubs, Pittsburgh, Miami, Atlanta and Miami.

This brings them to a series of four games in Arizona in early May. Ok, with the intense history between the two, the dodgers could lose.
At this point, they would have 36-0, and would it really shock you?
It’s all hyperbola, of course. In two days, they could already be 8-1 and no one would flash.
But the fact is that they are good enough to justify such fantasies. Think about it. They beat two winners of the Cy Young Prize. They won in the middle of the two -day opening distraction. They won with Mookie Betts sick And Wounded Freddie Freeman Having played together in only two of the eight games. They won with a bleaching starting the pitch. They won with anonymous lifers.
And now they won a great victory back in one night, they mainly looked like small leaguers.

“We knew that we were talented. … I really like him in the sense that nobody is too high at the moment,” said Roberts “the pitch was very good, the defense was solid but from top to bottom of our alignment, there are only a few guys who really swung the bats like a rather frightening thought, …
Scary enough for the match, I actually asked Roberts if they felt unbeatable.
“I suppose that if you say that if every night we take the ground, I have the impression that we are going to win?” He said. “Yeah.”
He added: “I know that mathematics say that we are not going to go 162-0, but each evening we take the field, I have the impression that we are going to win, so whatever it means.”
