Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has recently earned the approval of Hall of Fame Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax. Roberts, like many coaches and managers across sports, has come under scrutiny at various points during his tenure as a manager with Los Angeles.
Roberts certainly received some flack when the Dodgers exited during the first round of the playoffs each of the last two seasons, including getting swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks just one year ago. Earlier in the 2024 MLB postseason, Roberts received some criticism for leaving struggling pitchers in games when they were trailing the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series.
