There have been few stretches this season where the Los Angeles Dodgers have fired on all cylinders. Of late, the bullpen and lack of offensive production have hindered the club.
As a result, the Dodgers have not only fallen behind the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West standings, but also been leapfrogged by the Colorado Rockies and settled into third place in the division.
Though frustrating, the mounting losses during the month of August have not impacted the Dodgers’ approach or focus night in and night out. Many point to manager Dave Roberts and his steady presence as reason for that.
