In his first season as the Dodgers' manager, Dave Roberts was the National League's manager of the year. In his second, he led the Dodgers to their first World Series since 1988, joining Hall of Famers Tommy Lasorda and Joe Torre as the only managers in franchise history to take the team to the playoffs in each of his first two years on the job.
We talked with Roberts about his evaluation of the team, what he does to try to turn the team around, why he prefers not to hold team meetings, whether he worries that his job might be on the line, and whether he regrets declaring that the Dodgers would win the division.
