Dodgers Postgame interview Mookie Betts on coming off bench for Walk Off win over D-backs 9/22/22

Alright Mookie, well earlier this year we saw a walk-off RBI from you. Now that is two in one season. How good is this feeling when you guys can get this game in the win, in the bag? You know, any win is huge. You know, we haven't been playing well the last couple of days, so to scratch across a win right here is good for the morale. Ahead of the game you kind of were laughing about just being in a situation when you have to come off the bench, be in a pitch hit. How did you prepare for this moment tonight? Well, I got to the field really late. I was in the cage. I did a lot of work today. Today was a work day. It was supposed to be a down day, but I'm always gonna be ready and fortunately the work came to fruition. When you look at everything now, not only the D-backs were doing out there. Zach Gallin, he was fantastic through eight. How important was it for this team to attack their pitching staff when they got to the bullpen tonight? You know, I think, you know, Gallin, that was a hell of a game that he pitched, and so anytime somebody's doing that, you just kind of weather the storm. Our pitchers did a great job in keeping them off the board, and we got to the bullpen. It's like you kind of smell blood. Somebody else, you know, it's somebody else, so maybe it gives you a little confidence that would it be in someone else, and fortunately we were able to put an inning together. You kind of hit on it at the beginning, but when you guys have to come back from after playing two games, when things really weren't going your way to get the win today, how important was that for this team? I mean, it's huge. You know, playoffs, it's gonna be like that. You know, it's gonna be a lot of situations like this. We're gonna face a lot of Zach Gallin's, you know, and so, you know, it's a good test. You know, I know these last couple weeks may not mean a whole lot, but it's really good for us to face people like him and see people like that and be in and play in games like this. I'm gonna get the fans into it. That Mookie chat, that was fun, huh? That was cool. That was cool. Thank you, guys. I know they couldn't hear me, but whatever. They can hear you. Thank you so much, Mookie. Thank you.
