In what were unsolicited comments, Roberts said the team’s mindset needed to improve, that the Dodgers’ sense of urgency, especially at the plate, needed to change. He didn’t question his players’ effort but bluntly declared the team “too talented” to endure the malaise in which it was mired. In the series — the Dodgers’ first time getting swept in a three-game set by the Giants since 2016 — they went two for 24 with runners in scoring position. “Because it’s getting more clear that we’re not doing enough to win baseball games. I need to find that out.”Roberts said he “talked to a number of guys” on the team to share those sentiments.
