""When you're not winning games, it's not fun," Rojas continued. "You're not going out there having the same joy, the same fun, when you've been playing poorly for over two months. We all know that.

The Dodgers have gone 22-30 since July 4 and have lost 12 of their last 16 games against teams with losing records.
