How Mookie Betts got 'out of his head' and back to hitting. Can it save the 2024 Dodgers?
SAN DIEGO — On Tuesday night, one of Major League Baseball's best home-field advantages was fulfilling its reputation. Every Game 3 miscue from the Dodgers seemed to invite another. It felt like Petco Park was suffocating the opponent. Twenty-four hours later, another record crowd filled the seats, expecting to continue the celebration. One win away from slaying the dragon to the north again in the National League Division Series, Padres fans were ready to party like it was 2022.
Instead, they were never given a reason.
Mookie Betts helped make sure of it, emerging from his postseason doldrums and finding his self-belief again in an 8-0 win that saved the Dodgers' season.
"My teammates did an amazing job trying to put confidence, instill confidence in me," Betts said. "I had to turn off all social media because that was all negative, and I had to get some positive vibes in me."
Lately, they had been hard to come by.
