Max Muncy succinctly stated the Dodgers' performance after their 10-2 loss to the Padres: "We were s-. Flush it. Move on. That's not us as a group." His words reflected the disappointment following a strong Game 1, revealing the deep frustration felt after such a stark turnaround in the National League Division Series.
The game transformed the atmosphere of the series, as the Padres not only responded but decisively outplayed the Dodgers, with pitcher Yu Darvish holding the star-studded lineup at bay. Notably, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Shohei Ohtani were all rendered hitless, and the offensive silence lasted for much of the night.
Frustration among Dodgers fans escalated during the game, leading to the unfortunate incident of baseballs and bottles being thrown onto the field toward Padres players. Muncy addressed this behavior directly: "I understand the fans are frustrated at us in this game, but just can't be throwing stuff on the field."
