PHOENIX — If not for the lockout, the Los Angeles Dodgers would have been at Chavez Ravine on Thursday, opening the regular season against the Colorado Rockies.
Instead, the team was still in Arizona, trying to work through the kinks of a shortened spring training that manager Dave Roberts acknowledged has been a mixed bag of performances.
“Individually, there have been some guys that have had good camps. But overall, it just needs to get better. We’ll see where we’re at. The season isn’t going to wait for us.”
