Keep elegant, San Diego! The primary Dodgers / Padres sequence of the 12 months was stuffed with numerous added drama due to the video board operator at Petco Park who selected to show a meme of a crying Clayton Kershaw within the Padres solely win of the sequence. The Dodgers, who gained two of the three contests, by the way in which, have taken the excessive highway on the subject of the noise.
Clayton Kershaw didn’t care in regards to the meme, he solely supplied that they most likely wouldn’t have posted it if the Dodgers gained. His supervisor, Dave Roberts, applauded the long run Corridor of Famer’s response to the second, and didn’t supply up a lot of his ideas on it. But additionally within the midst of all that, another signal unfurled by a fan within the center deck at Petco acquired a little bit play on social media.
The signal learn, “Mookie Betts eats corn the great distance.” Presumably which means corn on the cobb.
Following LA’s come from behind victory over the Padres on Sunday Night time Baseball, Mookie reacted to that signal, calling it the very best signal he’s ever seen.
“It was the very best signal I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if I can actually say it on air.”
By way of ESPN.
Pressed to disclose what it mentioned, Betts gave in.
“It simply mentioned, ‘Mookie Betts eats corn the great distance,” he mentioned whereas making a movement along with his fingers to assist visualize, “you recognize what I’m saying? So I assumed that was very artistic and shout out to who ever made that signal.”
Props to Mookie for seeing the levity of the signal. To be honest, whereas crude, it’s fairly artistic. And the truth that somebody took the time to make that and sneak it in to a baseball sport actually provides to the appreciation.
So, the Padres are up on the Dodgers’ two indicators/memes to at least one. The Dodgers are up on the Padres two video games to at least one within the season sequence. I do know which I’d moderately take.
