Max Muncy has had a few internet-famous moments during his Dodgers career. First, it was his “go get it out of the ocean” home run into McCovey Cove off of Madison Bumgarner in 2019. Then, last Sunday, the internet exploded after Cubs catcher Willson Contreras grabbed Muncy below the belt as the backstop was scrambling for a pitch off the dirt.
Last night, Muncy again gained internet fame for what appeared to be him arguing balls and strikes on a pitch that was, very clearly, a strike. So much so that announcers Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser were perplexed as to why Muncy was even discussing the pitch with the home plate umpire.
