00:00But what a testy game it was at the Ravine.

00:06The Dodgers rallying in game number one to take one from San Diego after Fernando Taptease

00:12Jr. opened things up for the Padres against L.A. in game one.

00:17The Dodgers had a 1-0 lead.

00:20San Diego responds last night, 10-2 the victory for the Padres, but again, ten runs and six

00:27home runs out of San Diego.

00:29Not the only story, Jurekson Profar robs a home run that nobody knew if he did in the

00:35home half of the first from Mookie Betts.

00:38So he starts to get into it with the left field bleachers.

00:41Later in the game, fans start to throw things at him.

00:45That should never happen.

00:46It causes a lengthy delay.

00:49Manny Machado gets into it with the Dodgers starter, Jack Flaherty.

00:54Three for San Diego to hit four home runs late to make what seemed to be a testy and

00:59decisive game two go only to San Diego.

01:03Jackson Merrill, the rook, continues to deliver.

01:06Fernando Taptease hits a couple of long balls again, and San Diego evens this set in the

01:12National League Division Series, 10-2 the victory in game two.

01:16Yeah, pretty impressive, and this is why you love playoff baseball, too, because it wasn't

01:19so long ago you couldn't have any showmanship in baseball.

01:22Hey, have some fun on a home run.

01:23Get an earhole pitch to you, but now it's more custom, and the reason I bring that up

01:26is the fans get into it, and the players engage back.

01:29If you're watching Taptease's videos from him being in right field, just, you know,

01:34having some fun, quote-unquote, dancing at the fans at Dodger Stadium, I love this pageantry

01:39because the fans hate the teams just as much as the teams hate the fans, and it just brings

01:44this whole new breed, and we knew what we were getting into, Ben.

01:47When you talk about the Padres and the Dodgers and the Mets and the Phillies, it doesn't

01:50get any better than this, man.

01:51This is regional bias going toe-to-toe with a lot of hatred, and I love it.
