Mookie Betts explains yelling at A's dugout after during Dodgers' win
Briefly

In a recent game, the Los Angeles Dodgers decisively beat the Athletics 9-3, largely due to Mookie Betts's performance, which included a key double that drove in two runs in the eighth inning. This came right after Shohei Ohtani was intentionally walked. Betts expressed understanding of the decision to walk Ohtani, highlighting the tension of competitive sports. He noted his personal struggles during the game but felt satisfaction after finally contributing, particularly in a high-pressure moment. Betts's stats following Ohtani's intentional walks further emphasize their dynamic batting relationship.
Yeah, I mean, I get it. I get it. I wouldn't want to pitch to Shohei either, so I definitely understand. It's just all in the game, just being the competitor.
I feel like choosing to pitch to Shohei is probably a lot of times a losing battle. I just think it was a mix of happiness for myself, for the boys.
I'm sure if you look at the percentages, it probably adds up in their favor, for sure. But again, I definitely understand walking Shohei there.
Since Ohtani was moved to the leadoff spot, he has been intentionally walked five times, but Betts has succeeded significantly in such situations.
