But I do think that part of the inconsistencies of spring training (while recovering from his shoulder surgery) to then coming back, having a five- or six-day rehab assignment to then kind of not get on track offensively has been part of that”

Dave Roberts said ( about Cody Bellinger ) : “He’s just missing pitches, I think, that he can and will handle here shortly. But I think Cody’s close,” “It’s not to make any excuses but his presence in the lineup is very important. His presence in center field is very important to us. It was a shorter rehab assignment (just five games after being out for seven weeks). We recalled him because of a certain need, obviously and he makes our club better. He’ll get at-bats and he’ll perform. I’m not worried about that at all”

whittierdailynews Friday, June 11, 2021 12:02:00 AM EAT

Dave Roberts said : “I think he’s given us good at-bats. He doesn’t throw away at-bats,” “I think the lazy way to look at it is as far as production. But I think if you look within the at-bats and what he does, the presence on the bench when he’s not starting to give that left-hander (in the lineup) a third at-bat or to take a quality at-bat, that’s a lot of value. It’s still an adjustment for him as far as not starting a game, then coming into a game. But his at-bat quality has been very consistent”

When you’re an elite player, that’s part of the responsibility is to post. And he understands that”

It’s a guy that can get left and right out with his changeup to the lefties and can take down a couple innings, potentially three innings. Obviously, we’re very fond of Dennis and he’s doing everything he can up to this point”

Dave Roberts acknowledged ( about Will Smith ) : “It’s huge, especially when you’re talking about our ballclub, the length of the lineup and to have a guy that’s really elite back there behind the plate and to feel comfortable, hitting him somewhere in the middle of the order, versus right, versus left – it’s certainly a luxury,” “All the credit goes to Will and the hitting guys because there was an openness to change some things mechanically a few years ago. He bought into that, he’s executed it. And he’s constantly getting better so he’s just scratching the surface”

It’s gonna be strange. I always enjoyed our interactions and seeing him once you start playing games, seeing him make his way to the dugout, talking to coaches, talking to players and just seeing that No. 2 Dodger jersey around. … I was spoiled in the sense that I had a lot of one-on-one conversations with him throughout spring training as well as throughout the season”

Dave Roberts said : “It’s certainly a high bar when you pitch for the Dodgers and you’re on our roster,” “These guys are very competitive. They expect a lot from themselves – which they should. But I think, for me, just kind of keeping the lines of communication open, encouraging them to continue to get better each day. The reality is we just don’t know how things are going to play out. So I think that right now what we can control and our focus is to keep these guys healthy, continue to build them up as starters and then, once we have to make that decision (about where they fit in), we’ll make it”
