Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are alive at Dodgers Stadium after the Dodgers defeat
the Jays five to one, and look who it is.
He had the Mamba mentality tonight. Mookie Bets comes up big, defensively, offensively.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's gotta feel good to deliver.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
This way, Mookie, Yeah, it feels good to deliver anyway.
So but like I said, it's just been a lot
of hard work. Like I said to curiously my wife,
My wife really has talked to me a lot through
this whole process, and you know, I'm just I'm just
glad to feel normal.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Do you think it's more mental confidence than it is
about anything with your swing at this point?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
No, it was definitely both. It was definitely definitely both.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
But you know, now is just locking in on the
confidence and really believing. You know, I saw a couple fall,
and you know, earlier throughout the year, I would get
a couple of hits and then go over fifteen after.
But now I feel like I found something that I
can sustain to.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Deliver on a night like tonight.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
You had Kershawn Scherzer to make that plane the second inning,
to get a big double play to in the inning.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
How big is this to be you again.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
It's just it just feels good to come to play.
It's like one of the first games I've played and
I haven't really had to think about my swing or
think about playing the game. It's just kind of let
myself naturally do it. And so I was super dope
to see shows are encourasing me. You know, obviously they're
they're them their forties now, and they've been pitching against
each other for a long time, and so it's just

(01:26):
abut that's the beauty about this game.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thanks a lot for stopping, Mookie.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Great to see you smile again, and I'm glad the
fans showing the love that you deserve.
