Dodgers fan shares what happened right before baseballs were thrown at Padres' Jurickson Profar

What started as a joke took a dangerous twist that many Dodger fans agree was wrong.

[@justicegusting2476]

Profar gave you the ball in good faith. Be a man, keep the gift, be gracious, and rise above the Chulo peer pressure.

[@osheaelnegrojackson3105]

Good faith < Mocking 🤔

[@js002003]

profar was actually rubbing it in a bit to Mario and be threw it back like an away home run ball. the fan just wanted to not get dunked on again. normal reaction trying to save his dignity.... but it should have just ended there and everyone have a laugh about it including profar but of course LA fans take it to the next level bc they are the worst and things escalated.

[@QbertsSauce]

Mario didn’t do anything wrong. Him and Profar seemed to be having fun with each other. The other troglodytes in the stands should get a lifetime ban however.

[@js002003]

100% profar was just trolling a bit and and Mario was having fun back... like throwing back an away teams home run ball... its the other fans that took it to the next level acting like they have nothing else going on in their lives that ruined the night.

[@elnavales]

Intentional or not, Mario set that off via the snowball effect. So yeah, he took responsibility for getting kicked out.

[@TonyMaldonado-cv6lv]

This man literally walked to you and gave you a Ball and you threw it like a little Drama Queen instead of giving it to your Son. Str8 Karen

Clearly Mario is a good dude and a real Dodgers fan. I can’t believe there was other, so-called Dodgers fans, around him giving him shit (as if they would do any better) in front of his family. IN FROMT OF HIS FAMILY! What a bunch of low-class losers. Mario, I know you’ll never switch sides but we’ll take you with open arms any day of the week pal.

[@DuaneHallinSD]

Great back story. Didnt realize there were 3 balls thrown out. The first dodger fan was just having fun with profar.

A beer can was thrown at Bellinger in 22’. Two wrongs don’t make a right but don’t be hypocrites as if this idiotic behavior has not been displayed by padre fans.

[@robertohernandez2258]

I was there at the stadium there's no excuse to throw anything to a player they should get banned for life , Dodgers have the best attendance in all of baseball, players should be held accountable for taunting fans ..tatis was taunting 3 different directions .. it's baseball but that can be dangerous

[@robertsand9569]

Be real. I was also there. Very Very Close to this. He didn’t do anything crazy. I think he actually held himself together considering what was being said, the gestures and all the throwing. And I Super Agree with the lifetime band on all the Fans that were acting up. It’s crazy how today I expected some kinda news addressing this from the Dodgers organization about taking action but to my surprise they haven’t said a word. It’s like they are turning a blind eye. This is NOT the way they should be handling this due to all their problems in the past. The fans are too much now that I will not go with my kids no more to a game at their stadium if it’s a rivalry or some other high stakes game.

[@robertohernandez2258]

@@robertsand9569 - Look dodger tickets are not cheap, what happened with profar not acceptable ..2 balls thrown landed close, the 1st one fan threw it far from him...Tatis was taunting 3 different directions, that's dangerous for people in the stands , things can go left very fast it's an old stadium ..especially with mañosos everywhere, other than that Tatis and Darvish had a great game 🔥

[@robertsand9569]

@@robertohernandez2258 First off I’m an Angels fan lol so I’ll be damn if you think I’m sticking up for any Dodgers fans. And of course what they did to Profar was wrong! He made a hell of catch that turned the whole momentum of the game. Even made Betts feel completely st*pid circling the bases like that 😂 Let’s be real that catch was the WHOLE reason the fans were mad the rest of the night. Watch if they loose it all they’ll (fans) be crying about that play all year! And again what I saw from from Tatis was just a lil friendly gestures like “you fckwads ain’t gonna bother me” in fact I thought he was stretching when he did it. I didn’t really see what he did til this morning on Twitter. And it was Mild at best! And yes he did get turnt up after but who can blame him! They went too far. And it was a cool gesture by Profar too to return a ball just for that idiot to throw it back causing the whole ball thing to begin with. But hey the price of tickets ain’t gonna stop the idiots from going. Never has. Man I had just got done watching the Mookie Betts podcast with Tatis that day and man to see what happened on the field later. Sucks.

[@Dan-ut3bc]

The worst thing is players antagonizing the fans. Profar did it after robbing Betts of the homer and then Tatis dancing and literally dragging his balls in the outfield . What a man child. Also Machado threw a ball towards Roberts. These players get payed to not act like idiots, fans don’t.

[@kenetileilua5715]

So fans can heckle the players all they want and the players aren’t allowed to respond? Tatis interacts with his hecklers at every game in every stadium and there’s videos all over the internet showing this. But he’s never yelling or cussing or getting angry. He has fun with them. Dodger fans are the only group of people who take that shit personally.

[@Martin-sd8xp]

Did you see the video where machado "threw" at roberts... it was into the dugout/ballboy and it bounced 3 times. Comical.

[@thunderbolts2438]

All fans can learn from this... just stay classy.

[@rog9601]

Mario is an Idiot, not a clasdy fan whatsoever. He does not appreciate baseball and it's players for what it all is. Fans can go to a game for decades and never get a ball and to be given one by player and then toss it back, grow up dude.

[@kopes619Chargers]

Dodgers don't know what classy means! He should of kept the ball.

[@GearTyype]

throwing a ball at the back of a player is a no. Throwing a ball back on the field (not aimed at a player) happens. His decision to make though likely a lot of pressure in the stands. Lots of emotion, etc which doesn't excuse being dangerous but I can understand about being in the moment. Hindsight ⚾️ play ball

Ehhh, I remember Dodger fans picking on fans from other teams in the 70s-80s. And remember when the Dodgers and Giants had a bench clearing brawl, and when the Dodgers went to Candlestick, Giant fans poured beer onto the Dodgers in the dugout. We did the same when the Giants came back to LA.

[@Winchesterave4300]

Stop crying Padres fans let’s be honest Tatis and Profar kept taunting the fans. They are professionals making millions of dollars just ignore the fans. Padres players have been acting cocky as of late celebrate with your teammates all you want but don’t taunt fans because in LA we 🤪 😂.

You should have kept the ball he gave you and give to a kid, YOUR KID! Instead you wanted to “be cool” in front of other Doyer fans and cause a scene🤦🏻‍♀️ .

be quiet you werent there, i was. profar started it, then tatis continued when he hit the homerun and stopped running to third, then continued to slowly jog to home plate. throughout the entire night, profar and tatis were taunting the fans, whatd you expect? this would happen in any other stadium, no matter whos playing. i dont condone what dodgers fans did, that was ghetto and stupid, but you guys have to stop defending your players just because thats your team.

@@droppinBOMBS310 you’re right, I wasn’t there, plus I couldn’t afford it anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️. And I’m not a fan.
