Mookie Betts has been ineffective for the Dodgers against the Diamondbacks in the NLDS, and almost seems like he doesn't know how to fix the problem.
There was a moment after the 4-2 defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night when Mookie Betts actually sounded like a leader. Betts and Freddie Freeman were a combined one for 13 in the best-of-five National League Division Series, which the Dodgers now trailed, two games to none. Betts acknowledged what was obvious, that he and Freeman had to produce. “For me and Freddie, it’s kind of our role,” Betts said. “We’re not doing it. I take ownership in that.
“He’s really good at controlling the strike zone and hitting pitches, but I think the first couple of games, it seems more that he’s being aggressive on pitchers’ pitches.” That was certainly the case in each of Betts’ three at-bats against Gallen, who was 17-9 with a 3.47 earned-run average during the regular season. Betts flied out to right on the second pitch of his first at-bat, a 94-mph fastball that might or might not have grazed the far edge of the zone.
