Dodgers manager Dave Roberts sat on the dais Saturday afternoon, a serene smile on his face as he discussed the state of his team before Game 4 of the World Series.
He seemed so chipper a reporter commented, “You seem like you’re very awake right now. … Did you sleep much at all?”
“I’m excited. It's the World Series, Game 4,” he said. “I’m three coffees, three cups deep. I'm good.”
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was lacking similar pep. He sat down, rubbed his eyes and had some trouble focusing on answering questions early in his news conference.
