LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Dodgers finished up their Opening week home stand with a 4-2 record thanks to four MLB bro’s who have contributed significantly in the team’s success. 


Mookie Betts, who was awarded the 2022 Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Awards before Tuesday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies, continued to showcase his skills in the outfield and infield at second base. Betts also contributed with run support in both series against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Rockies. 

 

 

 


Trayce Thompson rose up in premiere fashion on Saturday night against the Diamondbacks hitting three homer runs and driving in eight runs that led to another Dodger victory. Thompson continue to elevate his game as he takes another step in solidifying his place on an MLB roster. 

 

 

Andre ‘Action’ Jackson

Not to be outdone by the incredible plays of Thompson was pitcher Andre Jackson. The right-hander was called up when starter Tony Gonsolin was injured in Spring Training and remains out due to a left ankle sprain.


“Being a starter all the way up, I pride myself in getting as many innings as I can,” Jackson said on Sunday. “I know that’s kind of my role this year, is go as deep and be as efficient as I can to help the bullpen out.”


Jackson is definitely “team first,” and willing to play whatever role the team needs him to be in order to secure victories. In Saturday’s win against Arizona, Jackson had his third three-inning save of his young career. With each save, his confidence continues to grow immensely. 

J-Hey Got A New Swing Cut The Butter

Veteran outfielder Jason Heyward who previously spent the last eight seasons with the Chicago Cubs, made the Dodgers roster in Spring Training and has not looked back since. 

 

Heyward crushed a two-run homer — his first of the season and as a Dodger that helped lift Los Angeles over Colorado 13-4 on Monday night. However, he didn’t stop there; on Tuesday night, in the bottom of the third inning, Heyward connected on a solo homer to right field. 

 

 

During the off season, Heyward worked out with Freddie Freeman, his former Atlanta Braves teammate reunited here in LA, in order to improve his swing at the plate. The bond that was formed with Freeman when the two were teenagers has paid dividends when it came to the Dodgers offering Heyward a minor league contract. 

 

Hayward’s attitude, leadership, and outlook became even more optimistic as he made the roster and improved his hitting techniques.  The hitting staff’s plans were to make his stance at the plate simpler and showed him that moving his hands back would have a more direct path to the baseball. 

 

 

Although the season is young, the clubhouse is full of a collective group who want to not only win but improve with each game, which could be a great recipe for a strong playoff push this season.

Trayce Thompson’s 3 Bro Bomb, 8 RBI Night Helps Skipper Dave Roberts Continue His Winning Ways

by | Apr 2, 2023 | THE LEAD OFF

Dave Roberts is in his eighth season as the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. When it comes to wins, Roberts knows a thing or two about that. He has taken the Dodgers to the postseason in every season he’s been the skipper and has made three World Series title appearances, winning one.

Despite a talent-laden San Diego Padres squad that is poised to finally take over in the NL West division, the Dodgers are once again the favorites and have started the season off 2-1 in their opening series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. 

 

Roberts Believed Trayce Thompson Could Be An Everyday Player: 3-Homer Game Is Proof

Going into the 2023 season, the expectations will be no different for Roberts and his team, which is to get back to the World Series and win. This will be a crucial season for Roberts. Even though the Dodgers extended his contract to three years last season, the team needs to have more success in the postseason. Part of being a great manager is knowing how to recognize and nurture talent. Roberts is gifted in that area as new stars keep emerging such as Trayce Thompson, who has gone from MLB maybe to MLBbro bomber, clubbing three homers in a 10-1 win in the final game of a three-game series against Arizona. 

In fact, according to MLB Network, Klay’s brother has the highest OPS in baseball (Min 180 PA) since the 2022 All-Star Break at 1.018. 

 

Dave Roberts Has Hella Wins & One Title

 

The head man for the Dodgers has won 654 games during his seven-year career in L.A. Roberts helped lead the Dodgers to its seventh World Series title in 2020. Before that, the team made back-to-back World Series appearances in 2017 and 2018 but failed to bring home the Commissioner’s Trophy.

 

Last season, L.A. finished with the most wins in all of baseball with 111. Unfortunately, the Dodgers postseason run was short lived when the San Diego Padres beat them 3-1 in the NLDS. Dodgers fans were disappointed to say the least, seeing their team only win one game in the playoffs after a dominating regular season. 

 

 

 

Roberts has had some talented teams throughout his time in L.A. and everyone knows that when it comes to the postseason, that’s when the wins really matter.

 

What This Season Means For Dave Roberts

 

With the contract extension, Roberts will have the chance to bring another title to the West Coast. Though his team looks a little different this year, he still has talent all around the field and on the mound and in the bullpen.

 

 

The question is, will he push the right buttons as the season progresses and the NL West race is tighter than a Halter dress and thong worn by Ciara at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar party. 

 

Now Roberts has plenty of baseball knowledge and crazy experience. And yes, he’s been put in some tough situations where he’s had to make some crucial decisions during games that may not have gone in his favor. That’s just how the game goes. Tough luck is part of the experience.

The baseball world may very well be spoiled by Roberts’ consistency. Ever since the former Red Sox playoff hero took over in L.A. the Dodgers have been among World Series favorites. When you have high expectations year in and year out, there can be a lot at stake. But the Dodgers believe that Roberts can help lead them to an eighth World Series title and possibly more, that’s why he will continue to get contract extensions until he at least wins less than 90 games. 

 

You better believe that all eyes will be on Roberts and the Dodgers from start to finish. Only time will tell, as we’ll get to see how everything plays out.
