'I'll always trust Shohei' - Dave Roberts praises Ohtani in the wake of losing World Series crown

I'm extremely proud. It never feels good to lose and not accomplish your goal to win the World Series. And it started back in the early part of February. And I love this team and what we had to go through. And it's one of those things that every night we take the field, people are bringing their best to beat us. And with that, this series, I can't give enough praise to the Brewers organization and, you know, the baseball ops with Matt Arnold and his staff and Pat Murphy and his staff and how they got those guys to play. And they played flawless. They really did. I think for me, it never feels good to lose. But when you get beat, you can handle it a little bit better. But, you know, I had a good conversation with the guys in there and just told them, you know, how proud I was. And I'm not used to those speeches, those consolations, but it was a long season it was still a good season and you know the thing about sports that we all love is no matter how much you prepare you want it there's no guarantees and that's the great thing about sport is the unknown and so with that we just got beat in four games well you know i mean the homer was great um obviously he ended up striking out three times but it was a big hit big three-run homer gave us a big lift and i'll always trust Shohei i mean i think he's the best player on the planet and he's not completely healthy so but i just give him a lot of respect for not running from it still wanting to participate still wanting to play when he's not 100 percent and um like i said before it's all of us it's not one player that didn't come through um it was all of us you know but i'm really impressed with what Shohei did yes we'll finish up with Buster on the left side Dave how would you describe the emotion Shohei had on that home run it was something that you don't see very often from Shohei i think it was a lot of pent-up anger frustration and so you know it was the best ball he hit in probably two three months so uh and it was a big hit and so i think that for him to look at the dugout show that emotion just shows how much he cares you know he's still human he still cares and you know wants to help his team win a baseball game and that was a big hit all right Dave thanks for your time and congratulations great season thank you guys
