MLB fans roasted these Padres fans’ embarrassingly bad hype song ahead of the NLCS

Padres are DONE now.

It takes a special kind of commitment to create a piece of content that is so bad that you get overwhelmed with secondhand embarrassment just by watching it. A certain episode of The Office comes to mind.

But leave it to a bunch of Padres dads to get ready for the NLCS by completely embarrassing themselves and everyone who had the misfortune of watching them perform Tuesday morning.

In a segment on Good Morning San Diego ahead of Tuesday’s Game 1 of the NLCS between the Phillies and Padres, a reporter caught up with this group of Padres fans and gave them 90 seconds of air time that we’ll never get back.

WHY?! Just why?

If you can make it through the entire video, you honestly deserve a medal.

I like to think these guys knew that the song was terrible, but at the same time, they also wrote those lyrics and rehearsed the performance. Have some dignity, y’all.

The performance went about how anyone could have expected and got mercilessly roasted on social media.

Bettors are expecting Dodgers-Braves to go to Game 7 in NLCS

Making sense of the money coming in ahead of the Dodgers-Braves Game 6 showdown.

Saturday night’s NLCS Game 6 between the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers has a lot on the line. The Braves can clinch a spot in the World Series for the first time since 1999, but they’ll have to stave off the defending champion Dodgers, who will look to extend the series to seven where they can fight for a consecutive World Series appearance. Tipico Sportsbook has the visiting Dodgers as a 1.5-run favorite in what projects to be a relatively low-scoring game.

The money coming in indicates that most wagerers are expecting to see a good amount of runs scored, with 65 percent of betslips taking the OVER on Tipico’s 8.5 runs total. The tickets also suggest that this series won’t be decided until Game 7 on Sunday. As Saturday’s opening pitch nears, 75 percent of betslips have the Braves at +1.5, yet, only 53 percent of tickets are taking the Braves at the money line, suggesting that Atlanta will play well enough to cover the spread but won’t do enough to win outright.

Ian Anderson is expected to get the start for Atlanta tonight and will have to cool off the hot-hitting Dodgers on the heels of a 17-hit Game 5 performance. Meanwhile, Walker Buehler gets the nod for L.A. in a win-or-go-home Game 6.

Chris Taylor made some wild history in Game 5 of the NLCS and the Dodgers needed every bit of it

Chris Taylor is forever in baseball history now.

The Dodgers had their backs against the wall going into Game 5 of the NLCS against the Braves and they responded perfectly.

Well, I should say, Chris Taylor responded perfectly. This dude truly had himself a night of nights. We witnessed literally one of the greatest postseason performances ever on Thursday night.

Taylor hit three home runs against the Dodgers in Game 5. Not one. Not two. Three. That just doesn’t happen very often, y’all.

He made plenty of history on his way to leading the Dodgers to their win. He’s just the 12th player in MLB history to hit three homers in a postseason game.

He’s also the only player in MLB history to hit three homers in an elimination game.

The only player. Ever.

This gets even wilder when you realize how Taylor was playing leading up to this explosion.

That’s certainly worth the curtain call he got after heading into the dugout the final time.

Very, very well deserved. Fans were stoked for him.

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.
