Dodgers: Dave Roberts Says Whoever Followed Mattingly in LA Would be Deemed a Puppet

Sometimes it can be a tough room for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Despite being the winnest manager in Dodger history (by winning percentage), Doc tends to catch a lot of flack over moves and lineups deemed “analytically driven.”

Recently on The Dugout Dudes podcast, the manager opens up with friend and former teammate Brett Tomko about his time coming to the Dodgers, among other things. And opens up is indeed the correct descriptor as Dave shares a more vulnerable side to his story.

Surprisingly, he goes all the way back to former LA manager Don Mattingly to start his story.
