On Friday night, Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly made headlines with a couple of wayward pitches that got a little too close for comfort for Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. Tatis wasn’t hit by any pitches, but two throws did come up and in enough to hit the knob of his bat and knock it out of his hand. On the second one, he actually dramatically fell to the ground to get out of the way of the pitch.
The incident made headlines online and elicited some strong reactions on social media.
One viral post speaking out against Kelly was YouTube personality Fuzzy who insisted the Dodger pitcher crossed a line.
