Mookie Betts\u00a0and the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0have punched their ticket to the NLDS. After beating the San Diego Padres 2-0 in the decisive Game 5 NLDS matchup, Dodgers manager\u00a0Dave Roberts delivered an emotional postgame speech\u00a0to his players in the locker room. And Betts, the former 2018 Red Sox champion, saluted the Boston legend,\u00a0David Ortiz, on Fox Sports\u2019 live\u00a0postgame broadcast, per Fox Sports: MLB.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was way more special than anybody can really imagine,\u201d Betts said about Ortiz\u2019s pregame speech. \u201cComing up and debuting, and having him next to me, he doesn\u2019t realize it, but I\u2019m looking up to him; he\u2019s an icon to me. And with the relationship we developed over time, usually it kind of withers away, especially once he\u2019s retired, and I\u2019m still playing, but it\u2019s actually, I would say, gotten closer as the distance has kind of grown.\u201d<\/p>\n

After capturing his third and final World Series title in 2013, Ortiz retired before Betts\u2019 rookie season with the Red Sox. But that didn\u2019t keep David away from the team, as the World Series MVP\u00a0remains close\u00a0with the Dodgers outfielder, eleven years removed from his final season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talk to him every two weeks or so. He\u2019s checking in. I\u2019m checking in. And for him to call me, especially at a time like that, downtime, I was down, man. I was really down, and he called me, gave me words of encouragement, and told me everything was gonna be cool,\u201d Betts added. \u201cGo smile, just go smile, and it worked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, Ortiz reciprocated Mookie\u2019s kind words with a \u201cmy dawg\u201d t-shirt.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know I love you, kid,\u201d Ortiz replied. \u201cI got something for you right here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave Roberts delivers epic Dodgers speech after NLDS win<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman\u00a0Max Muncy\u2019s message for the fans who doubted his team didn\u2019t quite tug on the heartstrings of manager Dave Roberts\u2019 speech in the locker room, but fans will take it after trailing 2-1. Before Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts showed love to David Ortiz, his manager and former teammate of Ortiz from the 2004 Red Sox, Roberts got plenty off his chest towards his players after clinching the NLCS.<\/p>\n

After Game 5, Roberts told his team\u00a0what they meant to him\u00a0before a champagne shower ensued.<\/p>\n

While speaking to reporters, Roberts talked about how the Dodgers\u00a0never let up\u00a0between scoring their first run early in Game 5 to adding the second down the stretch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fought, we didn\u2019t relent not one time, and I couldn\u2019t be happier for our ball club,\u201d Roberts said after the win.<\/p>\n
