The Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the San Diego Padres in an intense NLDS rematch. The Padres, who swept the Atlanta Braves in the Wild Card round, are looking to continue their dominance against the Dodgers, who struggled against them throughout the regular season.
The quote was so apt, Major League Baseball used it on social media to promote the Southern California showdown in this year’s National League Division Series. “This,” San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado said, “is what everyone wanted to see.” The Dodgers , it turns out, included. “Me, I wanted San Diego,” outfielder Teoscar Hernández said. “Just because of the adrenaline and the intensity, just the history of these two teams. I think this is the best scenario for us.
“As a manager, you never want to say that somebody wants it more than you, because I think that speaks to the preparation part of it, the mental part of it,” Roberts said in the wake of the 2022 postseason. “But I will say that, you look at that dugout versus our dugout, there was more intensity there.” Roberts raised that latter point again last week, listing it as a factor in the Dodgers’ struggles against the Padres in their first three matchups earlier this season .
