Phillies Fans Put on Dodgers Jerseys and Throw Stuff at Padres Players
Published:
No incidents at Citizens Bank park this weekend involving Phillies and Mets fans, at least not that we’re aware of, but in LA, Dodgers fans threw stuff at the Padres players and delayed their 10-2, game two loss:

There was a sequence earlier in the game when Jurickson Profar made a crazy catch just over the left field fence and robbed the Dodgers of a home run, but he held the ball in his glove for a good long while. Maybe some fans saw that as taunting and a catalyst for what happened later. Regardless, this is another incident of bad fan behavior in California. It’s always California, isn’t it? It was only three weeks ago when a guy wearing a Cooper Kupp jersey at SoFi punched a female 49ers fan in the face. And in the preseason we had a brawl involving Raiders fans (formerly CA) and Niners fans in which a guy was hit over the head with a folding chair like it was WWE’s Attitude era.
California is a problem. All of the fight videos and bad fan behavior videos are coming out of California, or Dallas when Cowboy fans fight each other after a loss. Can you believe these guys in San Francisco, Bonta Hill and Joe Shasky, had the audacity to call Philadelphia sports fans lower life scumbags and fake gangstas? That accusation has aged like a gallon of ACME whole milk. The worst thing Phillies fans have done in this NLDS is boo Nick Castellanos for swinging at some trash outside of the zone, then sarcastically cheer him laying off the next pitch, which was also in the dirt. He then responded with the biggest hits of the season. But nobody threw anything at anyone, nobody fought in the stands or the concourse or the parking lot. They do that in California, not here.
