Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made an honest admission about Mookie Betts' struggles in the World Series.

The star shortstop is now 3-for-23 in this World Series and has just nine hits in 55 at-bats since the Wild Card Series.

On Nothing Personal with David Samson, the host remarked, “Dave Roberts announced that he had made a lineup change. Turns out Andrew Friedman had nothing to do with it. He got to the ballpark and got a text alert from MLB.com that had his lineup in it — and had Mookie Betts moving down to the three hole. Unbelievable.”

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers have shuffled their slumping lineup for Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday, notably moving Mookie Betts down in the order for the first time in four years and benching Andy Pages.

The Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts dropped a blunt take on his play, sparking praise from a World Series champ.

Dodgers’ star shortstop Mookie Betts took Los Angeles’ game 5 loss to Toronto harder than anyone else. The 31-year-old bluntly assessed his performance after going hitless in four at-bats.

Currently, Mookie Betts looks lost. Historically impotent. A gaping hole where a legend used to be. A stunning futility that somehow has the mighty Dodgers underwhelming and suddenly on the brink of elimination in the World Series against a Blue Jays team that personifies resilience and talent.
