A self-produced number, “Starlight” is a relatively subtle one, putting bars above any sort of hook and pairing his rhymes with a laid-back, minimal beat.
A self-produced number, “Starlight” is a relatively subtle one, putting bars front and centre and pairing his rhymes with a laid-back, minimal beat. “Starlight” is most likely just a one-off loosie for now, but it’ll be interesting to see if Dave’s been cooking anything else up in the studio. He may be sporting a shirt with “No time 4 luv” written on the back, but he makes more than a few references to having “found his princess” and settling down with a family.

But another part of it is, I’m just a fan of the game and seeing how the game plays out and watching talent on the field.” I’d always love for you to come to my games when you have the chance.” “Some of my earliest memories of baseball have probably been going to the field with my dad during the summertime,” Cole said. “If there’s anything I’ve been guilty of in my career, it’s once baseball season starts and the bell rings, my only focus is managing the Dodgers,” Roberts said. But with him playing, keeping an eye on his games, it just allows me to take a step back and root for my son, celebrate his successes and, when it’s not going well, be there to support him.” This year the manager has been a familiar face on campus over the first three weeks of this season, taking in as many games as he can with Tricia and daughter Emme, a high school senior. Before the season, Roberts had brief conversations with his son. It was right around that time that Cole, the eldest of Roberts and wife Tricia’s two children, was old enough to begin taking sports seriously. “One part of it is, you’re a dad and you’re rooting for your son. Never before has Roberts been home so much at this time of the year. When I’m managing the Dodgers, that’s where I need to be present. It is all unfolding ahead of the final year of Roberts’ contract, though it’s expected that the club and 49-year-old skipper will reach an agreement on an extension.
