Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has deep respect for Pat Murphy, Brewers

Ahead of the National League Championship Series, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shared his admiration for the Milwaukee Brewers and their skipper, Pat Murphy. Roberts noted that he and Murphy share a playful rapport, even mirroring each other's signals during games.

Despite the Brewers operating with a lower payroll, Roberts praised their fundamental approach to baseball, highlighting their defensive prowess and disciplined pitching. He suggested the key to defeating them was forcing them to play from behind, though he acknowledged Murphy's tendency to rely on trusted players in unconventional ways.

In the series opener, the Brewers overcame an early deficit to secure a 2-1 victory, fueled by a sacrifice bunt from Cooper Pratt and a decisive hit by Luis Lara following a Brice Turang home run.
