The Dodgers cannot three-peat without ‘That Guy’… but who is he?

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of unexpected postseason contributors during a division-clinching speech in Cincinnati. Roberts told his team that winning 11 games in October requires unheralded players to step up in key moments, noting that championship runs often depend on role players rather than only marquee stars like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, or Mookie Betts.

The commentary highlights how unexpected heroes delivered in Game 7 of the previous World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. In that contest, Miguel Rojas hit a game-tying ninth-inning home run and Andy Pages made a crucial catch alongside Kiké Hernández, securing Los Angeles' second consecutive title.
