Two weeks ago, Dave Roberts appeared to be managing for his job but is now a four-time pennant-winning manager and four wins away from a World Series title.

There was more dissatisfaction with Roberts at the start of this postseason, after the Dodgers lost two of three games to the Padres to move to the brink of another early exit. “You can kind of feel around you,” Roberts said earlier this month.
