The San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers are NL West rivals with large payrolls and a few of the greatest stars in MLB. The 2 groups are going through off within the 2024 NLDS for a best-of-five collection to find out which crew might be on the doorstep of the World Sequence. The stakes of this collection really feel monumental for each side, and it’s already producing some unimaginable baseball.
After the Dodgers’ Sport 1 win, the collection resumed for Sport 2 in LA on Sunday night time. Within the backside of the primary inning with the Padres already holding a 1-0 lead, Dodgers star Mookie Betts clobbered a pitch to left discipline for what gave the impression to be the game-tying dwelling run.
Padres outfield Jurickson Profar tracked the ball to the wall, leapt into the stands, and tried to catch it. When Profar landed, he stared down the gang and made no indication he caught it. As Betts was approaching third base, Profar lastly confirmed that had made a tremendous catch, wiping a Dodgers run off the board.
Profar’s non-reaction is simply masterful trolling. Dodgers followers wouldn’t neglect about it, and it led to a different controversial second later within the recreation. First, watch Profar’s catch:
That is simply too good. An superior catch and an excellent higher response.
Within the backside of the seventh, with the Padres holding a three-run lead, Los Angeles followers began heckling Profar. As he was jawing forwards and backwards with the bleachers, one fan even threw a baseball at him.
The sport was paused because the umpires handled the scene.
It’s completely unacceptable to ever toss something onto the sector at an athlete. Followers must learn to behave. A number of followers had been reportedly throwing issues at Profar.
Now a bunch of followers have thrown objects in Fernando Tatis Jr.’s path in proper discipline. There are shut to twenty safety guards standing alongside the foul strains and play remains to be delayed. I’ve by no means seen something like this.
