Game two of the NLDS between the Dodgers and the Padres was an absolute saga.
This breakdown is brought to you by DraftKings and it is a five-parter.
I've got five storylines I tracked here.
I edited this all day.
One, Machado versus Flaherty.
Tatis versus everybody.
Profar and the fan.
Dodgers fans and home run balls.
The game itself.
Because between all the drama, it was a good game for a while.
Let's get into it.
Part one, we're going to open up with Tatis versus everybody.
Flaherty.
First pitch of the game is a little breaking ball.
Cutter, slider, fouled off.
Then oh one, he comes low fastball.
Boom!
Hammered.
Tatis throws it into the Dodgers bullpen.
One nothing.
Padres up.
More, more, more.
He wants more.
Flaherty's like, that's not where I wanted it.
Kind of his hot zone.
Bam!
There you go.
Mookie says, don't worry.
I can do solo homers as well.
Just wait.
Watch.
First pitch he gets.
Throws that.
But Profar's tracking it down.
He's reaching for the wall.
He never finds the wall because it's a short wall.
Which allows him to jump up and snag it in the sea of hands.
This guy almost had it.
He actually prepares himself for the drop.
Look at white jersey.
And then he almost snatched it with his left hand as if it was going to fall.
It doesn't fall though.
Profar just stares at him.
And he goes, oh, you.
You caught it, huh?
And he's like, yeah.
Now, Mookie would celebrate and just put his hand down real quick.
Oop, never mind.
I'll go back to the dugout.
A little revert back right to the dugout.
Third base coach.
He's like, what happened?
He's like, well, I played the piano on your asses, okay?
Deal with it.
Let's go!
Yeah!
And that fan is thinking, oh, man.
And he's like, yeah.
What's he looking at?
I got it.
You got it.
Yep.
Let's get back to the game itself.
We got a runner on third base.
And D-Train Peralta throws this into the crowd.
Another shot.
No.
Come on.
To have such a beat on it.
To be there.
No.
That's not good.
Come on.
Choo-choo.
Vamo!
What's he doing?
What's that about?
Dodgers say, hey, we're never out of the game.
All we got to do is put runners on for show.
There's a single for Teoscar.
Muncy lasers one down the line fair.
Look at the action from the ball boy and the security guard here.
Ball boy gets up.
Or ball girl.
I'm not sure.
Grabs the bucket and the security behind her.
Up and over with the chair in tow.
That's got to feel awesome.
Feel like a little superhero after that.
No one notices.
We notice.
We appreciate you.
It was good, okay?
Otani.
Atta boy!
Yeah!
Get me up.
I want some runners.
That's his excited song he sings.
Now Smith is up.
Ball.
Ball four.
Bases loaded.
No outs.
Otani.
Three batters away.
Never seen this graphic used in my life.
But if there's anyone that deserves it, it's Otani.
First though, Gavin Lux is up.
Let's go Gavin!
And he had a beautiful at bat.
Fouled a bunch off.
Gets the two strike fastball.
They trade the out for the run.
Only down two runs up.
Otani still looming.
Thatta boy, Teo!
Yay!
Gavin, that's a great at bat.
Good shit.
That's great job.
Yes!
High fives.
Otani's like, I want to get up.
I want to get up.
And he's up.
But not yet.
Edmund's up first.
First pitch he sees.
High breaking ball.
Oh no!
Right into Ariza's glove.
Steps on first.
Double play.
Throws it into the crowd.
Gives away a souvenir.
Otani, never up.
Back to the storyline where Tatis is just beating everybody versus everybody.
A running, jumping grab to steal the line drive.
Screaming and everyone's face.
Darvish loves it.
Turns to the crowd and says, what?
You don't like that?
Thought you guys like good baseball.
Get out of here.
Now he's at bat and he's been hit.
Flaherty hits him.
He's doing too much.
He's just homering on purpose.
Who knows?
Not on purpose.
Who knows?
Probably not on purpose.
But you're going to feel like it's on purpose if you're the Padres.
They lay down a bunt.
Jack off the mound like a cat.
Can't complete the play.
But a nice effort.
Tatis likes it.
Flaherty turns to his teammate.
Says, was that going foul?
Staying fair?
All right.
Nice enough play.
And now enter another storyline.
Machado versus Flaherty.
Machado's up.
No outs.
Two runners on.
Jack's got to make some pitches.
Top of the sixth.
Fastball down the middle.
Misses that one.
Oh and one.
So now Flaherty goes slider, sweeper, whatever you want to call it.
He doesn't swing it.
One and one.
Puts it in the zone.
Man, he doesn't swing it there.
Under the zone.
Two and two.
Now Flaherty says, let's just dot a fastball low and away.
Boom!
Go!
No!
Oh!
Okay.
Not a strike.
Are you kidding me?
Roberts wanted it.
What do you guys got?
Did it tickle the edge?
Painted the edge of the plate?
What do you got?
Who knows?
It's very close.
I think that gets called a decent amount.
Maybe it doesn't.
There's the ump cam.
What does that do for you?
Nothing.
What is it good for?
Three-two pitch.
Goes with the same pitch.
A little more outside.
Gets the strike out.
Go sit the f*** down, mother f***er!
Oh, all hyped up.
Screaming.
Oh no!
Hey, it was him.
He's taught.
It was him.
F*** that!
F*** that shit!
I don't take that from nobody!
You heard me?
What?
I was talking to myself.
And this led to what the big story is.
After that, Flaherty comes out of the game.
Padres score more runs.
Machado's warming up.
He gets the ball thrown to him.
And then he throws it to the Dodgers dugout.
Now, it's very normal to throw it there
because that's where the ball boy is
and you get rid of the warm-up balls.
I don't know how normal it is to skip it with some speed.
But it's normal to throw it that way.
But this comes in a little hot
and then it hits the railing right in front of Roberts.
Now, if it had not hit that railing
and skipped with that speed right into Teoscar,
the opening of the door,
that would have been bad.
But it hits the railing and there he goes,
Hey!
What is that?
What are you doing?
Get that shit out of here!
Huh?
They didn't like that at all.
So you see that cement lip on the bottom?
It hit that, popped up right in front of Roberts' face
and he didn't like it.
It was unsettling.
There was intent behind it
and that was very bothersome.
It's pretty disrespectful.
Pretty disrespectful.
Yeah.
I guess so.
I mean, he knows what he's doing.
There's a little more behind it.
I don't know.
So they sent this footage to the league
and they're like,
We're mad about this.
We don't like this at all.
And then Jack Flaherty,
he's going to say,
Hey, let's go!
We just saw that!
I'll meet you outside.
I'll meet you.
Yeah?
All right.
Jack's like,
Meet me outside?
Why?
We're talking here right now.
I'm upset about this.
Huh?
You want to do this shit?
Whenever you want.
Let's do it.
And that kind of concludes the Jack versus Machado
versus Roberts ball saga.
But I'm sure there's gonna be more on that.
Let's go back to Profar and the fan.
One of the first storylines we covered.
And if you're still with me,
there's a lot more to come.
Thank you.
If you're a Dodgers fan,
Padres fan or MLB fan,
we got tons of shirts at our merch store,
shop.jamboymedia.com.
So Profar robbed the home run from this fan.
And in a nice, fun,
but also trolly way,
he says,
Hey, buddy, sorry about that.
Here's a ball.
And the fan's like,
Get this out of here.
I don't want that ball.
And me, I like that.
That's all fun and games on both sides.
I think no harm,
no foul,
fun times both ways.
But some people saw him throw a ball on the field
and they're sitting in the crowd
and they're saying,
I got a ball too.
I'll throw mine.
I'll throw mine at him.
So this guy from up top throws a ball at Profar.
That is not cool.
It's my least favorite thing a fan can do.
Don't do it.
You're a bad guy.
If you do do it,
it stinks and it sucks.
And I don't like you.
Profar runs over to security.
Okay.
And he's like,
Yeah, it was them over there.
And then he's got the ball.
And he's like,
I'll give it to this.
No, I can't give it to a fan.
They've been throwing at me.
So he throws it in to the ball boy,
lighter than Machado threw his in.
And then he walks back and he's yelling at him.
Like, quit it, quit it.
You know,
toying with him,
not toying with him,
yelling at him.
And then another ball gets thrown at him.
So now he's not happy,
probably a little scared,
screaming.
He's going to yell to the umpire.
They want to hit somebody.
Damn.
Hey, hey, hey.
The umpire's like,
Hey, hey, calm down and calm down.
Like you're right,
but calm down.
And then his teammates really trying to calm him down.
He's screaming and yelling.
And you can see him motion to the back of his head.
Like I'm going to get in the back of the head.
My back's turned to them.
And Machado's like,
Hey, Bogart's got his arm around him.
He's like,
Hey, calm down.
Tatis is getting in there.
Like, calm down.
It's all right.
We're cool.
Okay.
No problem.
We're going to clean this up,
clear it out.
It's all going to be fine.
All right.
Okay, fine.
He goes back to the outfield.
He takes his position.
He's not excited about it.
He's skeptical.
He's looking around,
head on a swivel.
Yeah.
Tatis in the other outfield.
He's just dancing on them,
dangling on them,
swiveling on them.
You know, just tease them.
They're screaming at him right now.
They're giving him the middle finger
and he's just having fun with it.
You know,
if you can't have fun with it,
why do it?
There's the middle finger.
A bunch of grown men getting real upset.
Like, real upset.
Like, actually upset.
And he just says,
oh, here.
Swivel over here.
Dangle over here.
Dance over here.
What are you going to do, huh?
Having fun?
Why aren't you guys having fun
like I'm having fun?
It's all fun.
And they're not having fun.
They're mad.
And he's like, damn.
These guys are mad.
What are they?
They're madder than I thought.
I'm smiling.
They're mad.
And he's looking around.
And then all of a sudden,
these fans,
they start throwing shit,
which is not good.
They throw like sodas
and trash onto the field.
You're not going to reach him with that.
He puts his hands on his hips.
Like, what are you guys doing, huh?
Now we're going to have to clean that up.
That's a mess.
And he turns to them.
He says, yeah, garbage over here.
Yeah, they threw some cups.
Yep.
Yeah, they're mad.
I don't know.
I'm dancing.
They're mad.
You know,
look at that garbage out there.
You're not going to reach him.
You're just going to throw it on the field.
Now, the Padres bullpen,
they got a front row view.
They're coming out to the fence.
Like, what's going on?
She's pointing out the guys
that are throwing stuff.
They're picking up trash on the field.
All of a sudden,
she's like looking up.
She's like, oh, watch out.
Watch out.
Oh, souvenir cup.
That's probably like 20 bucks.
What are you doing?
That's 20 bucks.
That's an expensive cup.
He's throwing that?
Jeez.
Mad.
I would be mad, too.
Don't throw stuff at the players.
So the security comes.
They grab all the outfitters.
Like, let's get off.
Darvish is just chilling,
wobbling, weabling, and Tatis.
Oh, you sad?
Oh, you guys sad?
You crying?
You throwing stuff?
You throwing a tantrum?
Smiles.
Having fun, you know?
And Machado calls a team meeting.
He goes, listen up, guys.
I threw a ball into their dugout.
Harder than I usually do.
Hard enough to make them complain about it.
Soft enough to make their complaint soft.
It was the perfect troll.
Let's go out there and get some hits.
Huh?
I'm gonna lead the way.
Well, no, there was two outs.
Then he led the way.
Single.
Okay.
Two out rally.
Two out homer.
The kid.
Oh, Dodger fan versus home run.
Yes.
Makes the grab.
Yes.
Then Bogarts comes.
Oh, no.
Pulls the hammy.
Not feeling good.
Not the vibes the team meeting was supposed to throw out there, you know?
Not in the spirit of what's going on.
He says, don't worry.
I'm okay.
Two strikes, two outs.
Torn hammy.
Not torn, you know.
Sore.
Next pitch.
Boom.
Homer.
Hobbling.
And wobbling.
And grimacing.
And homering.
His team meeting.
Oh.
Dodgers fan versus home run.
Ball in.
Oh, shit.
We all thought she had it.
Couldn't have been easier.
And then the homer boys hug.
They're happy for each other.
They say, hey guys, let's smile for a homer boys picture.
Click.
Bam.
Beautiful.
Friendly.
Oh, no.
Tatis versus everybody.
Now he's toying with the fans.
You better leave.
Yeah.
You better leave.
Get out of here.
Goodbye.
Yes.
Oh, but before you leave, I have one more at bat.
And you might want to watch this.
Bam.
Oh, and another Dodger fan versus home run.
Ball.
Barehand shot off the palm.
Misses the rebound.
No.
Tatis was locked in.
Locked in.
Steady eye.
Staring.
Watching.
Enjoying.
Loving.
Turns to the dugout.
Double.
Peace.
Deuces.
See ya.
Our world.
You guys excited?
I am.
See ya, dude.
