Dodgers’ third baseman Max Muncy is channeling the gritty, all-or-nothing mentality from their triumphant 2020 World Series season. Reflecting on a saying they lived by back then—‘Hey, I’m prepared to die out there today’—Muncy reveals that this warrior mindset is making a comeback in the dugout, setting the tone for their current postseason run. And if you’re looking for proof, look no further than Freddie Freeman’s heroic efforts on the field.
Even with an ankle injury that would sideline most players, the 35-year-old first baseman delivered a gutsy stolen base, putting himself in scoring position early. While it didn’t lead to a run, it reignited the team’s fighting spirit. His determination showed that he could still be a pivotal force, injury or not. Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas, who is also battling through a left adductor strain, praised Freeman’s commitment. “When you see a guy like Freddie going through what he’s going through and making himself available to play, that speaks a lot,” Rojas stated, describing Freeman’s gameplay as nothing short of “borderline a miracle.”
The Dodgers’ dugout buzzed with admiration, inspired by their veteran leader’s perseverance. As the team looks to build on this energy, all eyes are on Freeman—proof that heart and determination can turn the tide in this high-stakes series.
