Khari Jones, Jr., Contributing WriterAugust 20, 2020

In his first season with the Dodgers, Betts is already giving back, and he and the team could not be more thrilled. Rubin said it was a no-brainer to support Betts doing this time. “We are thrilled to have Mookie Betts with us for a very long time. Mookie has been amazing on the field, but off the field, the efforts of him wanting to dive right into L.A. giving back in these hard times with our resources combined.” Rubin expressed that Betts is a phenomenal player that has benefitted from some great resources and returns the favor to the community.

Turner hit his second home run of the season that changed the game. The fifth inning was an offensive explosion for the Dodgers. “That fifth inning could have been the game,” said Roberts. Turner told reporters how creative and strategic the team has to be when they are struggling to score. “Sometimes when things are not going right, and you’re not getting hits, you got to manufacture funs, whether it is bunting, mixing in safety runs, squeezes, whatever you need to do build momentum and confidence for the offense.”

When asked by reporters, what are areas does he see the Dodgers need to make strides, Turner said, “Everywhere. I mean, I think we have a deep lineup where three or four guys can produce in a game. I don’t think you’ve seen all nine hitters locked in clicking on all cylinders yet. You got to remember we had a three-month shutdown to a three-month ramp-up. Guys are still working through stuff, myself included. Just trying to grind away put together good A-B’s. (At Bats)”

Playoffs are around the corner, and George expects excellent things from Zubac. With all the playoff experience on the Clippers, George says Zubac will be able to learn abruptly. He states, “I expect good things from him. I think again, a good thing about it, he’s got so much playoff experience around him our job is to make the process easy for him. Again, everyone is going to make mistakes. I’m still learning the game. It’s going to come naturally. But I think he’s ready for the experience.”
