September Baseball Is Its Own Special Madness

 

YOU DON'T INTENTIONALLY WALK A BATTER TO GET TO MOOKIE -- NOT EVEN OHTANI. BETTS MAKES BRAVES PAY WITH TIE-BREAKING HIT IN 9TH; DODGERS PILE ON WITH 6 MORE TO WIN, 9-2

 

In the bottom of the 9th Sunday in Atlanta, the Braves intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani, choosing instead to pitch to Mookie Betts, putting runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. Bad mistake. "I'm still Mookie Betts," he said. The Dodgers RF promptly singled to center, scoring Will Smith and breaking a 2-2 tie. The Dodgers then scored 6 more runs, including 3 successive HRs, to blast the Braves. Betts is represented on 74 of 75 Ballots in the Batters Contest this year, and he re-qualifies and rejoins the rankings as of today. Above, he hammers the pitch off Braves RHP Raisel Iglesias with Freddie Freeman observing. (Photo by Jeff Robinson/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)
