Infielder\u00a0Miguel Rojas\u00a0said Roberts is a great manager and perfect for the Dodgers in a\u00a0conversation with Dodgers Nation\u2019s Doug McKain.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s why I feel like he was the perfect guy for this group to have, because he knew the group,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cHe knows there\u2019s gonna be a difference from like one player or one pitcher or whoever it is, or coaching staff, whatever. He got the whole thing figured out, because it\u2019s him knowing the group and what everybody\u2019s things are. The motivation for everybody was different, so he knew the group and he knew everybody.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Looking at the list, it is understandable why Kenny has these 10 names \u2014 but the order is confusing.<\/p>\n<p>Dave Martinez of the Washington Nationals is listed at No. 8. His squad finished last season with 71 wins and A.J. Hinch led the Detroit\u00a0Tigers\u00a0to the postseason but not the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers bounced back with a 31-12 record after Aug. 11, securing their first postseason appearance since 2014. They won their Wild Card series against the Houston Astros but were eliminated by the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS.<\/p>\n<p>With playoff odds as low as 4 percent on Sept. 6, their remarkable turnaround was driven not just by talent, but by Hinch\u2019s leadership and that does deserve some respect.<\/p>\n<p>But Roberts being at No. 9 \u2014 behind many non-postseason managers from a year ago \u2014 is just downright disrespectful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dodgers\u2019 Dave Roberts Shockingly Ranked as 9th-Best Manager by MLB Network Analyst The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off their second World Series title in five years&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37714,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
