Prior to Game 3 of the World Series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers at Chase Field, Mookie Betts was seen providing some pregame guidance to rookie Corbin Carroll. The matchup featured Brandon Pfaadt against the three-time Cy Young Award winner, Max Scherzer.
However, rather unexpectedly, fans wasted no time in filling the video with comments that playfully trolled the two-time World Series champion. Many of these comments were lighthearted jokes, with fans humorously imploring Mookie not to give any advice and suggesting that Carroll should steer clear of it.
Bro thinks he in the World Series 😭😭

Despite Mookie Betts’ impressive track record as a two-time World Series champion, his performance in the 2018 postseason with the Boston Red Sox left something to be desired. Furthermore, due to COVID-related restrictions, not many people had the opportunity to witness his contributions to the 2020 World Series victory with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This has led to some concerns and discussions surrounding Betts’ postseason performance, as he has consistently excelled during the MLB regular seasons.
