During a post-game speech after defeating the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised his team's intelligence and toughness. A member of the organization then jokingly referred to them as "dinosaurs," likely referencing comments made by San Diego Padres owner José E. Feliciano about dinosaurs before their wild-card series against the Chicago Cubs. Fans are embracing this nickname and some suggest it could be a new marketing angle for the team, especially ahead of the upcoming NLCS where they may face the Padres again.

Story summary
During a post-game speech after defeating the Atlanta Braves in their NLCS matchup, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised his team as "smarter, better, and tougher." During this address, an unnamed member of the organization interjected with, "And we're dinosaurs," which some fans speculated could have been Miguel Rojas. This remark came shortly before San Diego Padres owner José E. Feliciano referred to the Dodgers' ownership as having "a lot of dinosaurs" when addressing his team's wild-card series against the Chicago Cubs. The term "dinosaurs" has become a new point of contention in the rivalry between the two teams, with fans on both sides debating its implications and significance.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

As manager Dave Roberts was addressing the team following a 4-1 victory against the Atlanta Braves to advance to the NLCS, he was telling them there is no “more talented team than the Los Angeles Dodgers” and reminded them that they are “smarter, we’re better, and we’re tougher.”

As he was finishing up, a member of the Dodgers organization was heard adding to Roberts’ speech by saying, “And we’re dinosaurs.”

The term “dinosaurs” was the latest jab added to the Dodgers and Padres rivalry when new San Diego owner, José E. Feliciano, made a statement that some took as a jab at the Dodgers by saying, “The owner of the Dodgers owns a lot of dinosaurs,” just before San Diego played Game 2 of the wild-card series against the Chicago Cubs.

While it’s unknown who confirmed the Dodgers are “dinosaurs,” the fans speculated that it might’ve been Miguel Rojas as @JustRay122 commented on X saying, “Was that Miggy Ro with the ‘we’re dinosaurs’ 😂😂😂”

The fans are also embracing being dinosaurs, as “kida_kudz wrote, “We’re smarter, we’re better, we’re tougher, and we’re dinosaurs.”

Make them mean, not friendly.”
