Mookie Betts Explains Why Dodgers Aren't 'Panicking' About Slow Start
""It's a new day," Betts said on SportsNet LA. "That's really it. Nobody in here is panicking or anything. It's one week and it's probably not going to be our last week that we don't hit well. We can't get emotional. We've got to just stay the course. Stay the course, and everything will be all right.""
""No. Not at all," Betts answered when asked if some Dodgers players had shown any frustration because of their early-season slumps. "I think the frustration is from the outside and not the inside. Again, we understand you cannot get emotional about it. If we could hit well every day, everybody would be doing it. Everybody goes through their slumps. Everybody goes through their ups and downs. It's just part of the game.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers experienced offensive struggles at the start of the season but rebounded with a 13-6 victory over the Washington Nationals. After falling behind 3-0, the team scored five runs in the third inning, including a game-tying homer from Shohei Ohtani. Mookie Betts, Andy Pages, Freddie Freeman, and Kyle Tucker contributed home runs, leading to a season-high in runs and hits. Betts emphasized the importance of staying calm and not panicking despite early struggles, acknowledging that slumps are part of the game.
