I think Kershaw definitely set the tone of the series. In baseball poor performance is definitely contagious amongst a team unless they got a special player that can flip the script. These Dodgers don’t have a player like that anymore
True that. It seems like Kike was the only one really trying to bring that fire to the team, and even Peralta (somewhat)
Kershaw is not the reason why these two asses combined for 1 hit in 3 games
Mookie had such a great year. Over 300 Batting average, 39 HR's. It defies explanation how he could go 0-11. Mind boggling.
Dookie Betts
Because he has other things going on. Podcast, bowling among other things. Why worry about baseball?
All stats are meaningless
CHOKIE BETTS ONLY PERFORMS ON A CHEATING TEAM , HE DOESN'T CARE NOW
Mind boggling!
Getting payed combined of over 250 million to go for a combined 1 for 21 im actually speechless. Still love my boys in blue but man that was pathetic and embarrassing props to dbacks for playing with heart and everything they had.
Wish you were speechless. Payed is not a word.
more like 525 million .. you was off only by 275 million 😂
And you still love boys 😅
@@TheDriller100"were" off
Mookie says “the sting is the same”….hes use to that feeling as he ghosts his team every October.
Betts and Freeman go for a combined 1-21 in the postseason. Total combined salary, $527,000,000.00. Go Snakes!
F LA
@@alonzor557funny how you guys decide to talk Shit all of a sudden after one series win vs us
@@JakeSmith-go9cifunny how you’re still talking after getting swept, you’re irrelevant now, next.
they sure did shit the bed !
@@Fish4Joe who cares lol it was series. Dodgers will always own the Dbacks and be more relevant
I would say that this experience should motivate them next year but then I remember last year. It really sucks to see this team just crumble under pressure time and time again.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
Dodgers are a disgrace to the city of Los Angeles. Thank god for NBA season.
@@lakerfan1855 you’re lucky you have the Lakers, I am a Orlando Magic fan 😂
Thank you guys for choking!!! Lynn provided me the greatest live sports moment of my life. Those 4 homers had me star struck. It was the first time I’ve ever attended a play off game too btw. Beyond grateful.
To the Dodgers fans, I’m sorry they let you down. I do have an immense hatred for LA and all of its residence but pain is pain. Good luck next year!
Winning 100 games and the division by several games over the other teams every year to only come up empty handed minus 2020* is unreal
Looking at a 3rd strike with the bases loaded in Game 2 was mind boggling.
“Just a bad series “ same excuse every year
Kershaw getting lit up in game 1 set tone of the series… It gave a hot DBacks team even more momentum and confidence. I didn’t think Dodgers would get to WS this year, due to pitching staff injuries. However, never thought the D Backs would eliminate them early. Crazy game
Ohtani wants to go to a team that can win.
@@kimberlygreene7937yeah that was our weakness
im sure the dodgers will try to buy ohtani and any other high priced ballplayer that becomes available , dodger and yankees are bad for baseball
As a giant fan how y'all dodgers got swept 🧹🧹 😂😂
Your city is gentrified and has no locals anymore fanboy
its funny how you guys didn't even get a chance lol
Arrogance, entitlement and a massive media complex blowing the organization on a 24/7 basis, 365 days of the year.
Mookie has 230 playoff ABs, he only has 4 HR and a .379 SLG. Dodgers should seriously consider trading him while his value is still high. He doesn’t perform in the playoffs unless there is nobody in the stands.
@johndurrer7869 never thought I’d even consider trading him away but after hearing his career postseason stats during telecast and witnessing him in playoffs since he got here…it’s looking more and more like 2020 was just an outlier 😢
2020 fake season
It’s not Mookie, it’s the Dodgers.
Dodgers have been postseason chokers long before they had Mookie, you're an idiot
They will have to eat some salary to do it.
There is a pattern and it’s that the “Bye Week” hurts the rhythm of team that are off.
Except the Astros
It didn't hurt the Astros last year or this year.
Wah wah wah with that payroll it shouldn’t matter pony boy
“Is there a flaw to the post season approach?” Absolutely.
All this stuff about how much this team gets along. It seems they were covering up something
When you have a team who fears loosing they can't concentrate on winning.
Same thing is happening to the braves.
Maybe the best way to make this make sense 👏🏼
Both teams are frauds. Although, at least the Phillies are a veteran team who went to the World Series last year. Being on the brink of elimination to them is not nearly as bad as getting swept by a young Diamondbacks team in historically terrible fashion.
Learn how to spell
It doesn't matter what the pitching does. It doesn't matter what calls Dave Roberts makes. The bats have done absolutely nothing.The Dodgers' offense over their last five postseason games (all losses).207 AVG
4-for-38 (.105 AVG) w/ RISP
39 left on base
11 runs
Freeman feels pissed!
From Mattingly to Roberts to Darvish to Kershaw to Seager to Turner…etc, the actors can change but the organizational philosophy and cultural support structure of said philosophy has not changed…the only logical explanation for these mind boggling October results, after highly successful regular seasons, is that the front office philosophy is not one that can win in the playoffs (or World Series for that matter). Proof is in the pudding…multiple early playoff exits (in infamous fashions on many occasions) and only 1 asterisk World Series in 11 years to show for it. Front office, their philosophy and their organizational structure to support that philosophy has to go! Period!
Totally different Freddie in interview and it’s for obvious reasons but damn, it makes no sense how this happens year after year especially after amazing regular seasons. Wtf…I’m a Dodger supporter forever but geeeezuz. I know they’re trying but the results in October are just maddening.

I knew we weren’t going far with the pitching but damn
Clayton Kershaw had a fantastic season, as did Evan Philips, Mookie Bettes, Freedie Freeman, JD Martinez, and others. the Dodgers won 100 games for the fourth full season in a row, something that no team in baseball history has done. they have nothing to be ashamed of. they can feel proud
CHOKERS!
@@ehhhhhhh6141 is choking
Nobody's talking about how horrific Kershaw and Miller were pitching???
na cause our 2 most expensive players... the 1 2 punch .... was made of marshmallows
Its pretty obvious what’s more concerning and it’s the offense unable to score with RISP’s, also mookie being dog shit for the last 3 postseasons.
I still think this series would’ve went different if Miller pitched game 1. Kershaw threw batting practice for the Diamondbacks and got them to settle in for the series.
Seriously, I think Kershaw’s horrendous game one really set the tone for the rest of the series.
Yes the pitching was bad but to be fair, I was not really surprised. When you lose 4 starting pitchers and have to rely on a rookie, Lynn and old/injured Kershaw, this is what happens.
To me the bigger disappoint was how terrible the bats were. Specifically Betts and Freeman.
Just as good as last year.
Mookie betts will never be anything close to Derek jeter never but yet he acts as if he’s some legend
Mookie = Dookie
Bingo. I hope this charlatan gets booed heavily on opening day…What a disgrace to that uniform.
Admire this team. I truly wished they’d more forward
The dominance of Kershaw in game one gave the Diamondbacks confidence that they could win the series in which they did. D.Roberts should taken Kershaw out of the game way before he did. He didn't look sharp and he wasn't fooling any of the Diamondbacks hitters with his picthes. You see what the Diamondbacks coach did in game three. The first hit the starting pitcher gave up he pulled him, he didn't want the Dodgers to gain any momentum. But on top off all the that the Dodgers BATS were nonexistent! For the second straight year!
the drop in CF and how bad kershaw was made them realize they were playing a bunch of clowns and their belief grew enormously. The Dodgers pen did there part in game 2/3 and if the bats would've come alive the Dbacks would've folded but the bats were MIA. Betts and Freeman should have been moved way down in the lineup for game 3 imo (at least 5/6). I would've had Hernandez & Taylor 1-2 & kept Smith third as it was obvious to me he was giving max effort. Heyward would've never played a second for me. Outman would have been benched by game 2.
@@johnnythunder196
You have some valid points!
@@nele350c7 Thanks Nele...so many more bad calls as well by the Dodgers...Lynn should have been lifted after the homer to light hitting Perdomo (with the big boys coming up and no out)....their hottest starter not throwing a single pitch was incompetent but batting order should have been shifted around by game two and i would have never started a rookie in centerfield in the opener
Good season guys🎉😎⚾️
It baffles me that our star players cannot perform in the postseason. Mookie and Freeman did great for the previous teams. Trea Turner did great for the Nationals and sucked in LA and now is doing well for the Phillies.
Yu Darvish, Manny Machado, Brian Dozier, the list goes on.
Mookie Betts is now 0-for-11 in this NLDS
Such a disappointing and embarrassing way to bow out, but not surprising given the way the gm and front office handled trades and acquisitions this past year. Hurts doubly when the highest paid players are not offensive contributors. Hurts as well when the team can’t afford to acquire new talented players because of the star studded cast they already have. Then you have the same players that struggle every year at the plate or at best are hot for short periods of the season but can’t be counted on to contribute in the postseason.
This felt like Game Of Thrones Season 7 and 8. It ended badly.
That's ok boys I still love the dodgers I'm still breathless what happened last night just couldn't stop crying because of this loss we will get them next year still hurting 😭💙💙💙💙💪🧬
Doesn't feel many are engaged to play for a championship. No focus on details and all intangibles. How can a team like this win any championship? Just by luck?
i love you freddie chin up this was embarrassing but we can come back next year with a vengeance.
That's what they all say. Something like the Yankees, that has been coming back for over a decade jajaja jajaja
@@user-sh3ov3do6o listen here mr shove doodoo idk what you just said, probably because you don't speak english very well but i know one thing, the dodgers will come back next year and we will be better, theres no way we can be worse then this. Its only up from here.
Bro I am heart broken I was hoping 23 was gonna be another World Series the Dodgers took home …
Mookie looked defeated from the get go. The teams faces expressed ZERO heart. Why? The world doesn't have an answer to all the mysteries
I think that's where Lasorda could have come in. He would have told Mookie forget about Home runs. Just do whatever you can to get on. Roberts though being the nice Robot like Snitker, just stood there like a Drug Store Indian as things went to hell in a handbasket.
LA Dodgers Last 2 Seasons: 211 Regular Season Wins and ONE Playoff Win.
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. Corey Seager must be laughing 🤣
Those sad voices is music to my ears (:
The best and second best are fallen at the end left the fans heartbroken.
Mookie had a blistering August and may have peaked physically and emotionally then. Hard to explain the postseason drought. Ditto for Freddie Freeman. Dodgers had zero chance with those two going AWOL.
Not hard to put in words just Choked! No starting pitching
Spending a lot of money doesn't always work
The Dodgers and Braves lost last year and this year the same way. Too many days off waiting for a pile of wildcard teams to play a 3 game series. Baseball is an everyday sport and staying in your "grove" or "rhythm" makes a Huge difference. Two consecutive postseasons exact same results.
Man that was a difficult series for my team 🤦♂️
Don't worry man. Other teams don't have the fan base like us.
you can maybe pin the blame on the sweep on the 5 day layoff. but not also on game #2, or game #3. there's no crying in baseball
Gotta fire roberts , dont care anymore.we need a fresh start , dude was laughing and smiling mid game interview in game 3 and was like we are fine???? Bro dont know how your good down 2-0 in a best of 5 seroes with no offense and legitimately the worst pitching ive ever seen a 100 win team put out there.
as a diehard dbacks fan who despises the dodgers I love freddy. He was honest and said he was bad. The guy is amazing player and took ownership.
Mookie translation….glad season is over, I’m going bowling!
Straight bums. I literally travel at least 5 times a year from Arizona to Los Angeles to watch games! Gas,food, hotel, tickets etc I was even embarrassed this year on Father’s Day with my son when they got beaten by San Francisco.
Maybe it's time to jump ship. I hear the dbacks are pretty good 😂
Yeah man F LA that franchise is not worth your time
Stop it you’re going to do it again next year
@@ace2585 oh man one series and you guys act like this? Embarrassing lol they still have the NLCS
This is the hardest dodger interview I've seen. They all seem so genuinely sad. 🥺
Let that shit humble em cuase its about to happen again this year 🤷
The time off seems to hurt teams. Last year, the Mets and Dodgers and now the Orioles, Dodgers, and the Braves on the brink
Astros swept Mariners last year, and just beat the Twins.
@FrankieGarcia-np4up Yea, they are the Astros. They have been around the block more than enough.
The Braves just got knocked out in 4, a historically good team. I think the format isn't fair. The results have shown that the last 2 years
Full disclosure, I'm a Stros fan, but this take is total crap and is just to make losing teams and their fans feel better. Phillies are dogs with fight in them, just like the Astros. There has to be passion in the teams. It's not enough to cruse by on talent when the lights come on. The Dodgers don't have any fight in them, neither did the Braves or Orioles. Just a bunch of talent. It's not enough at this point. Everyone trying to figure out why the Astros keep going. It's talent and passion. @@Franz19970
Bruh against the diamondbacks really!!
Nothing frustrating when you have millions
Mookie is a playoff bum
Send Freddy back Atlanta!!!!
Like clock work at this time of year!!! CHOKED AGAIN!! Not even upset this time, it was expected for sure. Dodgers suck!! Let the better team move on for good baseball.
Deep down inside your sad there season is over huh😂😂😂
It’s affirmative-action baseball
The best team doesn’t win
over 500 million combine and they got 1 infield hit 😂.. different year, same story
look on the bright side those two will get more than one hit next time ........... or will they ??? :)
The Bauer curse strikes again.
Here to change the flowers 💐
The difference between n Mookie interview answers and Freddie's are like night and day
Not easy during these interviews. But appreciate attitude of Mookie though this interview
This teams lacks heart and grit.
Time to flip the page we need Dave roberts out
TWO WORDS : FIRE ROBERTS ¡
THOSE 2, 1-21 CAN U BELIEVE IT?
There’s an Astros fan I love it they really thought we store championship from them but all the Dodgers have proved is 100 wins every regular season just a choke in the playoffs every single year they lost Games Seven at LA and got smoked in game to LA you can blame the other two games did the Astros were cheating but no one will blame them batting 196 as a team in the World Series and I fully believe with all the talk with former Red Sox, players and players are in the league that they were cheating to using Camera as an Apple Watch is the steel signs so they lost 2017, even with cheating and look at them now embarrassing 🤣🤣
Failure on the part of batters to score early runs had a direct impact on the way the games were played. The lineup needed to be changed IMO and to move Betts and Freeman further back and allow Hernandez or Taylor bat in the 1 and 2 positions. Moreover, it's time to say goodbyes to CK and Lance Lynn, competitive, hungry teams with robust enthusiasm to beat the Dodgers aren't going to watch pitches or chase. They came to bat with a vengeance. Dodgers must let go of CK now and revitalize the starting pitching staff for next season. Moreover, the post season format is wrong IMO. Old school here and the divisional winners should face off to get to the WS. Orioles with 101 wins lost, Braves are on their heels and may lose after 104 wins. Braves, Dodgers and Orioles gave their fans a great season and may be totally eliminated is these short, who is the hottest teams that never came close to winning their respective divisions. Something just ain't right folks.
Freddie freeman and betts should be EMBARRASSED. Absolute bums
"Those guys get paid to play baseball too" ...Mookie love you, one of those guys was Bobby Bouche.
LAD gets paid a lot ... better luck next year
Somewhere in heaven, Tommy Lasorda is looking down and shitting on himself ,
Arizona young men player are super stars.
There is no other way to say it.
Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman were total trash in the playoffs.
I hate those stupid Space Jam monsters… They ruined our run! 😡
😂😂😂
No more relics. Time to move on from since if the old faces. Can’t change the outcome if you don’t change the team
The Dodgers have the same problem as the Yankees, the manager is just no good and had too go years ago.
This was disappointing, but everyone has to step it up and contribute.
Dave Roberts should not have left Kershaw on the mound when he first saw things were not going their way. He needs to stop doing that.
Mookie Betts is getting hammered in these comments, but he is not the only one who was a disappointment. Max Muncy, who is an amazing hitter, fizzled out.
Perhaps they get another shot at the title next season.
During their time off from the game, they can put their thinking caps on and figure out how to keep their momentum going.
Greatest regular season team in baseball history!
Yikes man
Unbelievable....I think they've been cursed.
Excuses
MOOKIE DIDNT GET A HIT THE WHOLE SERIES FRAUDULENT PLAYER WILL NEVER TAKE HIM SERIOUS AGAIN AS A STAR
I’m a Red Sox fan so I appreciate Mookie’s thoughtfulness on his responses. I’m sure he’s very disappointed and frustrated but he was still reflective and his experience showed in his answers.
Blame the players and Roberts for his lame decision-making. Way to play with no heart, guys.
Dodgers need to change, what they do is not working.
I'm so sick of this argument!!! Sure it has some merit BUT answer me this...What's the excuse for TB, Toronto, Milwaukee & Miami for being swept in the WC round this year since they were not off for 5 days and each team's offense went to SH*T as well??? Look back at the history of the MLB playoffs to see how many times the top seed in each league won the pennant???!!!
This new format is fine and the sample size is way too small to make these outlandish assumptions!!! I'm a Phillies fan and although we reached the WS last year & NLCS so far this year, I would NEVER prefer entering the playoffs as a Wild Card team as opposed to being a top 2 seed with the GUARANTEED 1st Round Bye!!!
Not focused on you though right Mookie, no bueno
Dang, I wish I had a job making millions and completely underperform, and still make millions with excuses, j/s.
Urias suspension was a distraction..
I watched this series from beginning to the end. Let me post a stat that I saw last night after the game was over. Freeman, Betts, Muncy, and Martinez all had over 100 RBI'S for the season. That was the most throughout the entire league!!! And yet the Dodgers only scored 6 runs in 3 games!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!! Thats mindblowing!!! I give a ton of credit to the Diamondbacks, they knew no one was giving them a chance and they proved everyone wrong!!! Winning over 100 games year in and year out, and getting bounced in the Postseason every year is completely unacceptable!!! Its time to blow this thing up in LA and start over, and they should start with Kershaw and the manager Dave Roberts!!!!
DRobs NAILS !
Every year! Basically it's the same thing! Great regular season! And then bounced out early! Our bounced out eventually! With arguably some of the best teams going into the playoffs! I'm a Dodgers fan! But man ! It seems to be a repeat! Every year! To say the least! I'm not a big Roberts fan! Either! We should focus on our pitching! In the off season!
It is the playoff format. The players won’t say it but the week off is not working for the better teams. MLB will have to take a look at this. Dodgers done Baltimore done. Braves almost done. There is a flaw in the system. Fix it baseball. The players can’t say it but I can. The format is not working. It should be best 0f 7 series not 5 after a week off…
Absolutely pitiful!
I'm officially done with supporting the dodgers
Bout damn time. F LA
You need serious mental help you can’t leave a team just cause they keep losing i never left my raiders though out all the turmoil we faced every season why leave just because we got swept we knew we had no starting pitching going into this series
@@Zbgaming23 were not keeping our home grow talents like Joc, Corey, and Cody.
Mookie has always been a little streaky, but it's rare that something like this ever happens to him. It's really a shame cause he's such a likeable dude, but he's gotta step it up as a leader for this team. Hopefully he can make a splash next October.
What's ever more baffling is Freddie. We've seen his slumps before, but they never last long, and he never looks THIS lost. Dude looked liked Belli in 2021, that's unheard of for Freddie. In my opinion, he is the 2nd best pure hitter in baseball, only behind Ohtani. This is just crazy in so many ways. Props to the DBacks of course, but damn we gotta hit better than that.
My offseason wishlist is resign Kike, get another proven postseason bat, get at least two proven competitive starting pitchers (along the lines of Ross Stripling or Kenta Maeda, doesn't have to be super stars), and sign Ohtani. We obviously know how to win in the regular season, we need to start building purely for October.
Happened to mookie in the last playoff series too vs the padres
@@The50d True but he didn't look this lost at all. Sure he wasn't good at all last year, but this time was extreme. He barely could get the ball out of the infield.
WHAT OFFENSE? THERE WASN'T ANY. PITCHING, REALLY SUCKED BIGTIME.
At least in the NL West the Dodgers are the best of the worst.
Chokers yet again!! Kershaw's a joke and always when it really matters. Get rid of Roberts finally
Change the name Chokers, not Dodgers!
Call out the pitching! Keyshawn was horrible
Dodgers could have moved forward to playoffs but not enough batting practice against live pitching and no chemistry yet inspire greatness on the players they had. Simple adjustments could of kept them going all the way to the world serious but once again they come up short.
Discipline and the small things matter.
Once those are solved and I Robles are corrected then they will move forward and achieve their goal.
Plus the fact that every single player and person on the team must believe that the talent that themanagement has brought together mus Absoluyely believe that their TEAM is solid and that they can achieve far more thN what they can do... as a cohesiveness must exist at every level of their organization.m
