Dodgers Veteran Infielder Issues 4-Word Statement on Team’s Recent Form

The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost six games in a row entering Friday, and their lead in the National League West is shrinking.

Frustrations are mounting, and the reinforcements that will be brought in at the deadline can’t get here soon enough. However, veteran infielder Miguel Rojas knows the team can control its fate right now.

“We have to do better,” Rojas told Jack Harris of the Los Anegeles Times. “We gotta find ways to be a complete team that we know we can be.”

The offense has been the primary issue for the Dodgers over the last two series. They’ve scored two runs or fewer in five of the last six games. It hasn’t been pretty for Los Angeles to say the least, and Rojas didn’t hold back on his assessment of the team.

“We can’t really feel sorry about ourselves, because there’s a lot of season left, and we know what we’re looking for,” Rojas said, per Harris. “We’re looking to win another championship, and playing this kind of baseball is not gonna get us there.”

Los Angeles has been without several key players this season such as Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez. While both players are working to come back, their returns can’t come soon enough. However, manager Dave Roberts isn’t changing his expectations.

“We’ve just got to put some at-bats together, keep playing good defense and it’ll turn,” Roberts told the LA Times. “When you’re mired in it, it’s frustrating. But we still have some pretty good players.”

The Dodgers have a tough series starting Friday night on the road against the San Francisco Giants. Things could quickly go from bad to worse for the Dodgers heading into the All Star break unless they turn it around quickly.
