In 2020, Betts had a whole series of spectacular defensive plays, and in the World Series, he doubled to advance the tying run into scoring position scored and scored the go-ahead run, before hitting an insurance home run in the clinching game. IDK who thought he didn't stand out.
U should make a video on my goat: brent honey jr he saved the dodgers bullpen
This has to be a brent Honeywell account 😂😂😂

He had a 9.35 era in the playoffs

Mookie played a big role with his defense in the 2020 playoffs. The Dodgers wouldn’t have won 2020 World Series without mookie’s contributions.
His biggest contribution was the 2020 nlcs where he would’ve won mvp if Seager didn’t basically hit a hr every game. He made unreal defensive plays that kept the 3-1 comeback alive in what was really the World Series that year
@ agreed people forget he robbed a home run from Freddie freeman game seven. If Mookie didn’t rob that home run, the dodgers might not have won game seven.
Also they don't win the NLDS against Giants without him. He was basically the only guy who could hit Logan Webb.
Mookie successfully transferred the “playoff choke” abilities to AAron Judge
Judge was already a playoff choker before 2024
@@Wolf-wc1jssince 2017
@@anonymousdogg1559 mookies has had years he’s been good in postseason. Judge is a career choker in postseason
Aaron Judge is just like Bonds historical in the regular season and choking in the playoffs but Bonds at least had 2002 Judge has nothing in the playoffs
"You done messed up, AAron!!"
It's odd to say, but Mookie is, IMO, one of the most underrated players out there. He's good at everything. A true five-tool player. He can hit, steal, hit for power, field, and throw at an elite level.
I don’t care how great a player’s abilities are because if he can’t perform during the playoffs, he is no good to me. No HoF either. I hope Kershaw will get a chance to finally redeem himself next year.
Tom Brady’s numbers might not be good during the playoffs, but he can put up TDs when it mattered. That makes him one of the best athletes ever.
@@Paul_Sleeping Most of Mookie's overall post-season hitting stats aren't bad, even if they aren't great. He has, however, scored 76 runs in 74 career post-season games, which says something about his overall abilities. And his defense has always been stellar.
How can you be a choker with three rings ?
Exactly 💯
You still can it’s a team sport look at verlander’s numbers in the World Series even though he has two rings. Kershaw is a choker and has two rings. It’s a team sport where anyone can carry
It’s a team sport.
MOOKIE is Not a Choker...😅..
@@HendrikBreen22 well i agree with the kershaw part...he's cost the team a lot in october...and jansen did also..the front office and roberts relied on those guys for big games and they could never get it done in big games...NLCS and WS they sucked.
The Red Sox dumping Mookie Betts is a very strong candidate for the dumbest move in professional sports.
They got to have Pedro Martinez. Sure the Dodgers traded him to Montreal and not the Red Sox, he still ended up there. Mookie being traded to the Dodgers is everything coming full circle
Almost on a par with selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees. Are the Red Sox now going to suffer the Curse of Mookie just like the 80+ year Curse of the Bambino?
3:38
There were probably going to win it all regardless (in 2020)
Did you forget they were down 3-1 to the Braves? Mookie made a great defensive play in each of the next 3 games. And they were close games. (dodgers pulled away late in game 5)
The unsung hero of getting him out of his slump is our Chad Innings Eater Brent Honeywell. Watch Max Muncy’s interview after clinching the pennant where he was giving Honeywell props for his role in the team
Honeywell needs to throw for someone in the homerun derby IMO
@@dirknowitzki3891actually would be so dope if a teammate threw BP to a hitter in the derby
@Sin-Tuj Trainers and pitching coaches would probably advise against it but I agree it would be pretty dope.
0:14 to 0:33 English translation:
"I have my own principle...I don't want to be stepped on my whole life"
"You think I'm a beggar? I waited for 3 years...just for an opportunity."
"I want to prove a point, not to say I'm great, but to show everyone that I'm taking back what I've lost!"
Why could this low key make sense as to something Shohei would say in the situation I described💀
What is this and where is it from? 😂
I like how the quote is all serious but i look at the thing thats speaking and i burst out laughing.

The real choktober is Judge a😂😂😂😂
I’m a hardcore dodger fan and never once thought that Mookie is a choker. I think Dave Roberts needs some work but that’s it.
Also a dodger fan, opposite view. Betts did choke for a few years, and Dave Roberts was good. Betts did def turn it around tho
22' and 23' were choke jobs by Mookie. No way I'm blaiming Robert's for the 2023 playoff collapse. Dodgers didn't hit and the starting pitching was awful. No one executed.
3:26 because of COVID, the dodgers had to play the most games ever played for any postseason ever. You mentioned you don't like small sample sizes, but then disregard the largest playoff sample size ever?
No one ever accused sports fans of being rational.
Life is so depressing without baseball to watch
You forgot to mention his bowling prowess. 6-tool player!
Facts
He's got multiple perfect games iirc
For me the savior was Blake treinen!!! I became a fan of his after this
Mookie Betts OPS in the 2020 playoffs: .871
Mookie Betts OPS in the 2024 playoffs: .951
No more Mickey Mouse talk.
Fans wish their 300 million dollar super star practiced fundementals before games, fielding, and hitting.
Choker? Dude had one bad post season and he's a choker?
For real sports fans are so stupid
Although he didn't hit well in the 2020 NLCS against the Braves, his defense was a huge reason they went on to overcome a 3 - 1 deficit.
There’s an angle here that was interesting.
Mookie’s birthday falls prior to the post season.
He always posts bowling photos and other things, but this year he had to play a game during his b-day.
Sad!
Nice video about my boy cookie italk!
🍪
Bruh I meant mookie 😂😂😂 I guess I just ate my boy cookie
People were also saying Freddie was washed up after 2023. The stat to open the 2024 NLDS was that Freddie and Mookie were 1 for their last 20-something post season at bats.
I genuinely want him kept at RF because I think playing infield is more demanding on his body and in 2022 and 2023 specifically when he focused on playing infield, it took away from his hitting. I don’t think it’s coincidence
Mookie seems underrated to me.
Dodgers winning the World Series didn’t make the haters shut up it made them even more angry 😂😂
The Dodgers had become the new Braves and fans are going to blame someone. Also see Clayton Kershaw.
A’ight. I’m convinced my boy here IS a Trolleys fan, and here’s TO ya, good sir! 🍻 ✌️😅🤷♂️
I've never heard anyone call Mookie a choker?
As a dodgers fan, there was a lot of noise both inside and outside the fan base until game three of the NLDS this year.
@@skelkelian Cant speak for Dodgers fans but nobody outside that fanbase believed that. He had already won a title in 2017 with the Red Sox. Dodger fans have this chip on their shoulder thing and it's weird af.
@@justadude2800it’s because last year mookie went like 1-11 in the playoffs and the dodgers lost to the diamondbacks
@ dodgers fans could be in a bit of an echo chamber but I think it was a combination of hearing it from trolls in other fan bases and shit like “mookie hasn’t had a hit in the playoffs since 2022”
you couldn’t leave a comment section without hearing something about him choking in the 2022 and 2023 postseasons
Eventually Judge will beat that narrative as well. It happens even to the best of them.
Some take a long time than others
We said the same with Kershaw
Another good one 💪
3:27 jit mentions this every video and no, your definitely not jealous 🙄
Mookie wins games with more than just his bat. And while he may not have any "memorable" post-season hits, he's often been a big part of the offense.
I love seeing everyone pick against the Dodgers and then for them to be on fire this year.
imagine trading this guy for Alex Verdugo lolololol
Initially that Title belongs to AROD then Mookie and now we present to you the JUDGE!!!
You can't ignore the 2020 playoffs. A) it was longer than any of the previous ones due to added series. B) everyone played under the same circumstances. Was it different? yes. Does it count? yes it still counts because again everyone played under these conditions together.
To say Mookie hasn't done anything special tells me you didn't watch the 2020 playoffs at all. We don't beat Atlanta without him. Maybe we can win the other series, but Mookie was probably the biggest reason we came back from 3-1 down. Defense plays, clutch hits, just playing the game the right way. You look at stats and say he did nothing really, but he was our leadoff hitter, his job wasn't to hit homeruns or get rbis. It was to set the table and that's what he did.
What he did this year was special, but he also was playing a different role. But to discount the 2020 year is just wrong.
For 74 games and 339 plate appearances, his .259 has about a 1/10 chance of happening for someone with a true average (their performance over a long period) of .300. And that's not even accounting for the increased difficulty of pitching in the postseason! When we do that, we see his performance decrease doesn't mean ANYTHING!
The way statistics works is that you absolutely cannot determine something from a small sample size. It does not mean it's inexcusable but it makes it less bad, you CANNOT DETERMINE ANYTHING AT ALL from a small sample size!
If Mookie is clicking he can easily get you 4-5 hits, but if he’s not, he’s going to pop up 2-3 times going 0-4.
He's usually the first one tho, which is why he's a HOF
Crazy that a dude with 3 rings was considered a choker
One video cc Sabathia saves the team next video mookie chokes.. maybe address the real issues like the individual team from top down
Feels bad for judge 😂
I bet the Redsox are kicking themselves for trading Mookie for Verdugo and a bag of chips 😂 as a lifelong Dodgers fan I want to say thank you Boston 👍🏽 go Dodgers!🏆💙
I need to find my Comments from April May June and July where all it said was
Dodgers 2024 World Series Champions. You think I'm joking? You will see them 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Astros ARE a big market team.
The injured World Champions this year go Dodgers! Another chip on the way for Dodgers this decade 🎉
Bro has 3 rings..
How many rings have you won??😅
It’s funny, man I like the dodgers a lot becuz my family is fans and then because I saw the Yankees as the Bankees in the late 90s early 2000s now that it’s flipped I feel no different I still can’t stand the Yankees and love the Dodgers
Next year will be even more scarier for dodger haters
Stalin catching a stray 😭🙏😭😭😭💀😭💀🙏
@@maxbaumer2045 Nobody is safe from iTalk Studios🙏
Who beats the dodgers next year?
A better tomorrow
Uhh that 2020 year he was a pivotal reason why they beat the braves…. What you mean they were already gonna win it.
Play Hatin Strong
This dude a bot can’t take a Astro fan seriously
🗣️
Feels illegal to be this early
He’ll get to Jeter
Dodgers are the greatest 🔥
2:31 WTH 12 pitch at bat?
Yep!! And I WAS THERE!!! A night and moment I'll never forget
i need subtitles on the chinese
Los Doyers!
Wooo
@italks 😊can’t wait to listen 🙏🏽💥
He has 3 rings?
How do you call mookie a choker when he helped the red Sox and Dodgers win the world series in 2018 and 2020 🤦♂️
What choking reputation? That’s BS.
Using a chinese cartoon to try and emulate what a japanese guy would do is casual racism, so unnecessary.
I thought the same thing and looked for other comments saying so, but unfortunately this is the only other one I’ve seen.

Nothing like watching the Yankees lose, theeee Yankees lose. Only professional team I truly despise.
Seventh!
Here's the irony of the situation; Betts shed his 'chokeness' image this postseason but did Ohtani just start his? How long until haters start called the Sho-man a choker???
Except the WS his postseason is not even that bad. Especially his RISP.
Huh? Shohei was raking in the postseason before the shoulder injury in Game 2 of the WS. So much so that just his mere presence in the lineup from Game 3 on forced the Yankees to gameplan around him, rather than see him as the free out he actually was. Ohtani never had the label, and he's not gonna get the label (unless he pitches like Kershaw in October🤜🪵)
Ohtani was doing fine before the shoulder injury that most players would not have tried to play through...
Dodger hater keep hating 😂
Really! 3 rings, multiple awards and he's a chocker? I think the only chocker is your mom. 😂
Leave the Mom out of this bro.
🗿
It's the pressure. Same with Judge. Once Ohtani is the dodgers Mookie pressure got less and can now operate normally.
Hell yeah F ARIZONA SD AND CARDINALS !!
I wonder if Italk knows their are more teams in MLB then the yanks, redsox, padreas and Dodgers....
This video is a bunch of bull. He has a couple of bad postseasons and that gives him a rep as a "choker". The entire team was awful, that's why they got swept in the first round. What about the 6 other postseasons he's played in
Does no one care that he cut to a meme of some cartoon speaking Chinese to represent Shohei? Can you really not tell the difference between the two very different languages or do you just not care?
😂
@@wojownikzczarnabandana298 Sounds like the 'just not care' part then
@pikXpixelart I just don't cry like some people about jokes, I know that in the USA you are crazy about jokes about black people and others. Here in Poland they used to tell jokes about black people many times and no one had a pain in the ass
@@wojownikzczarnabandana298 I live in Japan, not the US. I think people here care about their culture being treated with respect. Is that something Polish people don't do?
@pikXpixelart If everyone is equal, you can make jokes about them. there are jokes about Poles and other nations, as well as the fact that black people steal bicycles or start riots in Europe, although looking at what is happening in Germany, for example, it is a fact
