""If I'm Mookie, I would put that all behind," Ortiz said on FOX. "You remember when we used to prepare for to go to play a Little League game? You weren't thinking about a scouting report, you weren't thinking about what people say, you weren't thinking about what you did yesterday. "When you played in Little League all you wanted to do was see the ball and try to hit it and have fun. At the end of the day that's what the game is all about: Having fun.""
""I've been terrible and I wish it was from lack of effort, I really do," Betts told reporters after Wednesday's loss at Dodgers Stadium. "But it's not, so I don't have any answers.""
Mookie Betts entered the World Series mired in a severe hitting slump, batting .130 with three singles, three walks, zero extra-base hits and no RBI during the Fall Classic. Betts finished the regular season with a career-low .732 OPS and hit .234 in the postseason, going 0-4 in Game 5 as the Blue Jays took a 3-2 series lead. Betts told reporters he had been "terrible" and had no answers. Former teammate David Ortiz urged Betts to forget the results, recapture a Little League mindset, see the ball, have fun and move forward.
