The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated on Wednesday after winning a postseason series. A commentary in the Los Angeles Times says the club still has concerns to work through before it faces the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS.
According to the Times, manager Dave Roberts gave his victory speech in a gray cap and gray T-shirt marking the win. Players were celebrating with champagne and beer around him. The paper says the Dodgers see this win as only a speed bump on the way to the main event.
Roberts was blunt with his players. “There is no more talented team than the Los Angeles Dodgers,” he said, calling the club the best organization in sports and adding, “We’re smarter. We’re better. And we’re tougher.”
The Dodgers are chasing a three-peat. The Times notes that the team has finished one postseason celebration and has two more to go.
Infielder Miguel Rojas said the chance to win three times in a row is driving the team. “It’s never going to be easy in baseball,” he said, adding that the team had shown its resilience before and showed it again in this series.
The Times column lists four reasons to believe in the Dodgers and four reasons for concern heading into the NLCS. The text we reviewed did not include those specific reasons, so this article does not describe them.
