Dave Roberts sees where this is going. His Dodgers team just got whooped in Game 2 and now they have to come into Petco Park to face Michael King. Freddie Freeman may not even start tonight and Mookie Betts can’t seem to get a hit when the lights turn on in October.
Things aren’t going great while the Padres have all the motivation and good vibes on their side.
So what’s the move to make if you’re Roberts? Try to get your team motivated through your messaging at a press conference. Make the Padres seem like the villain.
