The San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers are NL West rivals with huge payrolls and a few of the greatest stars in MLB. The 2 groups are dealing with off within the 2024 NLDS for a best-of-five sequence to find out which group might be on the doorstep of the World Collection. The stakes of this sequence really feel huge for either side, and it’s already producing some unbelievable baseball.
After the Dodgers’ Recreation 1 win, the sequence resumed for Recreation 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 area for what gave the impression to be the game-tying residence 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 group and made no indication he caught it. As Betts was approaching third base, Profar lastly confirmed that had made an incredible 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 sport. First, watch Profar’s catch:
That is simply too good. An superior catch and a fair 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 backwards and forwards 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 sphere at an athlete. Followers have to 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 route in proper area. There are shut to twenty safety guards standing alongside the foul traces and play continues to be delayed. I’ve by no means seen something like this.

Profar was verbally stepping into it with the Dodgers all sport lengthy. The Padres beat the Dodgers, 10-2, in Recreation 2. This sequence goes again to San Diego tied 1-1.
