‘Terrible’ Mookie Betts has been a World Series disaster for Dodgers
NY Post
The Dodgers have a Mookie Betts problem.
The former AL MVP and three-time World Series champion went 0-for-4 in Wednesday’s 6-1 Game 5 loss to the Blue Jays that put the defending champions’ season on the brink.
Betts is hitting just .130 (3-for-23) with zero extra-base hits or RBIs in the World Series, and hitting just .234 with a .648 OPS across the postseason.
Moving Betts down to the No. 3 spot in the order for the first time in Game 5 of this Fall Classic could not galvanize the struggling star.
“I don’t want to speak for anybody else, but for me, personally, I’ve just been terrible,” Betts said. “I’ve been terrible and I wish it was from lack of effort, I really do, but it’s not. So, I don’t have any answers.”
This season has been a troubling one for Betts, 33, who endured his worst regular season of his potentially Hall of Fame career.
