What they’re saying

“I still think about the first time I did it. To get the win on top of it, it's great.”

— Max Muncy

“He's just playing the heck of third base, he's taking good at-bats and right now he's had a good start.”

— Dave Roberts, Dodgers Manager

“Garvey is kind of a Dodger icon, the way he carried himself, the way he played the game, just a model of consistency. He really embodied what being a Dodger was and so to pass him, it's something that's really, really special to me. Hopefully, I can keep climbing.”

— Max Muncy

“He knows that we believe in him and we've showed that many times over, so I think there's some peace with that.”

— Dave Roberts, Dodgers Manager

“I just feel healthy, that's kind of the most important thing right now. I feel like I'm moving really well, I feel like I'm getting good reads on the ball. Most important, my feet are moving on every ground ball and that's something I've always struggled with in the past. I just get stuck a little bit and that puts me in bad position on certain hops.”

— Max Muncy
