Dodgers All-Star Mookie Betts shared a strong take on the struggles versus the Cubs.
Betts, too, has spoken out about the slump. He dropped an eye-opening claim about the brutal losses with Dodger Blue on X. The perennial All-Star, though, isn’t jamming his index finger on the panic button.
“I think it’s just a bumpy two weeks,” Betts began. “We got a long time, we got a long season to go and a lot can happen.”
Mookie Betts fires off reminder about Dodgers’ struggles after Cubs loss
Betts watched the Dodgers hit a funk before under Roberts.
“If we panic, things get worse. If we don’t panic, it looks like we don’t care. So what are we supposed to do?” Betts asked.
The short stop took to the plate three times. He squeaked out one hit — a single rip to center field. Betts smacked the ball facing a sweeper pitch from Colin Rea. But that third inning blast became Betts’ lone hit of the evening.
He wasn’t the lone struggling Dodgers batter. Shohei Ohtani went a stunning 0-for-5 at the plate. Teoscar Hernandez went hitless too on four attempts. Max Muncy went 0-for-2 — but hit a sacrifice fly to right field for the RBI.
Michael Conforto and Will Smith rose as the lone Dodgers smacking two hits. L.A., though, struck out 10 times. Betts and the Dodgers are now 0-4 overall when the opposition holds them to two runs or less.
