Betts describes his start to this season as “trash,” but his three-hit game Monday left him with a .293 average and a .945 OPS – a far sight better than his slow start last April.
SAN FRANCISCO — Mookie Betts was asked Monday afternoon to assess his start to the season.And then he went out and led off the game with a home run, the first of three hits, two RBIs and three runs scored in the game.“It’s typical of Mookie, man. It’s like Lou Holtz, where he was always the underdog, everyone’s better and he’s just gonna try hard. Mookie’s always trash. He knows he’s the best player on the field every day.
“It’s been consistently inconsistent. Consistently inconsistent,” he said, identifying his main self-criticism. “That’s part of the game, right?” “Last year, I didn’t have a clue. Last year, I was just lost,” Betts said. “I just didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was going and just wasn’t sure of myself, wasn’t sure of what I wanted to do in the box and the mechanics I wanted to work on. Now I’m a lot more sure. This year is a lot better than last year obviously from the beginning. I’m more sure, more confident. Plus J.D. is here. That’s my dude. He keeps me in line.
