Dave Roberts’ stern message after painful Cubs sweep

Posted on April 24, 2025

After a red-hot 8-0 start to the season, the Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves slipping into a frustrating funk, capped by a humbling sweep at the hands of the Chicago Cubs. Following Wednesday’s 7-6 loss, their ninth defeat in 17 games, manager Dave Roberts didn’t hold back.

“We’ve got some things to clean up,” Roberts said postgame, after the Dodgers blew another lead and failed to contain Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong for a second consecutive night.

Crow-Armstrong, who has ties to Roberts through the manager’s son, has become a full-fledged Dodgers killer. In the three-game series, he torched L.A. pitching with seven RBIs, including a momentum-shifting three-run homer on Wednesday. In five games this season against his hometown team, the 23-year-old has gone 10-for-22 with four homers, nine RBIs, and jaw-dropping defensive highlights.

“Pete Crow-Armstrong has really killed us,” Roberts admitted. “They’re just a more confident team right now.”

The Dodgers injury struggles are as bad as their struggles at the plate

Despite offensive flashes from Teoscar Hernández and Mookie Betts, the Dodgers continue to battle inconsistencies across the board. Slumping superstar Shohei Ohtani has gone cold at the plate, hitting just .232 over his last 14 games. He had a chance to flip the script with runners in scoring position on Wednesday, but a weak pop-out extinguished their best rally chance.
