When a $700 million megastar underdelivers and your team still gets steamrolled, you’d think the blame might disperse evenly. Think again. One particular $24 million bat—more cold than clutch—became the lightning rod for boos, jeers, and a level of verbal creativity usually reserved for stand-up comedy. While Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers searched for answers, this slugger got a masterclass in public accountability… Chicago-style.
Everybody has a bad patch, and so do the Los Angeles Dodgers. They have a very good team, but that doesn’t mean that they are unbeatable. The Dodgers have been on a rough patch for the past few games, and one fan crossed the line with Max Muncy after their loss against the Cubs.
After looking at this, Dan Clark took to Twitter and posted, “This is really disappointing to see, from a Dodgers fan. Max Muncy has been good with the Dodgers for 8 years (.835 OPS). You expect this type of shit (abusing your own players) from toxic Yankees or Mets fans.”

Despite other players like Shohei Ohtani and players in their pitching department not performing, this fan went after Max Muncy, a guy who has been loyal to the Dodgers for the past 7 years. Shohei Ohtani has just 5 hits in his last 7 games against the Cubs and has not been doing well for many games now. We all know what he is capable of, but going after one player in the open is not the right way to give the message.
But hey, nuance rarely sells in the outrage economy. One underwhelming night, and suddenly it’s open mic night in the bleachers. The Dodgers may be stumbling, but turning on your own isn’t exactly a winning strategy. Loyalty isn’t measured in box scores alone—and if fans need a scapegoat that badly, maybe it’s time they grab a glove and show us how it’s done.
