Dave Roberts: Dodgers Need To ‘Get Better’ At Limiting Stolen Bases

The Los Angeles Dodgers don’t have many weaknesses when at full strength, but one area they could stand to improve in is limiting how often teams run against them.

Opposing teams so far have stolen 29 bases in 34 attempts against the Dodgers this season, with the bullpen being responsible for 17. “Yeah, we need to get better,” manager Dave Roberts said.

“You can always get better as a ballclub, but on the pitching side in particular, varying looks, time to the plate, throwing over, all that kind of stuff, we can always get better. We need to get better at that.
