Mics picked up Joc Pederson’s NSFW celebration after his huge HR off Max Scherzer

Joctober is very real.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson cannot stop beating up pitchers this postseason.

Entering Sunday night’s Game 2 of the NLCS against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers—the team he played his first seven years in the league with—Pederson is slashing .400/.400/.1000 with two home runs and five RBI in five games. He added another homer to that total in the fourth inning off Max Scherzer and that tied the game at 2-2.

The ball was absolutely demolished, and thanks to some perfectly placed microphones, Pederson was able to let the whole world know exactly how it feels to launch a pitch into the next galaxy in the postseason.

(Warning: NSFW language)

“I’m a bad mother(expletive),” Pederson shouted on his way into the dugout.

Then he repeated himself for good measure to make sure his teammates on the other end of the dugout got the message, too.

Not that many were questioning whether or not that was the case with Pederson.

All anyone who isn’t convinced by his demeanor has to do is take a glance at the pearl necklace Pederson has been rocking during games. This man is operating at peak levels of confidence with a swing to match.

On Sunday, he tagged one of the best pitchers of the last 20 years for a no-doubt home run that ensured Scherzer wouldn’t get another postseason win on his resume.

As the Dodgers’ ace quickly learned, this is Joctober. The rest of us are just along for the ride with Pederson at this point.
