Dodgers channeling their inner Dave Roberts with aggressive NLCS baserunning

Dave Roberts played 844 games in the major leagues. He is remembered for one game, and one play in that game.For one night, at least, the Dodgers took on the identity of their manager.The Dodgers stole four bases Sunday, more than they had stolen in any game this season. In the end, it did not matter. The clutch hitting was close to nonexistent, all but one of the thieving baserunners stranded.

In 2006, Roberts stole 49 bases and did not rank among the top five in the majors. No one in the majors stole 49 bases this season. “If the situation calls for it, it wouldn’t be crazy to see Corey Seager steal a base, absolutely,” Roberts said.Betts stole two. Gavin Lux stole one. Chris Taylor stole one. No one was thrown out trying to steal.

Playing for a single run can mean a sacrifice bunt, except most modern players do not bunt often or well enough to justify the risk in October.Photos from Game 2 of the National League Championship Series between the Dodgers and Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta on Sunday night, where the Braves won off a walk-off single by Eddie Rosario to win 5-4.

With teams generally prioritizing pitch calling, pitch framing, pitch blocking and offense as desired skills for catchers, arm strength can be lacking. On Sunday, the official Twitter account of Major League Baseball commemorated the anniversary of what it breathlessly called “the greatest comeback in baseball history” by hyping Roberts — oops, nope, by hyping David Ortiz.
