Dodgers celebrate in D-Backs pool!

[O]

Classless doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about this!

I wish nothing but bad things on the Dodger organization!

 

[thirty-two]

This seriously makes my blood boil. You deserved to win the West, congrats, but this was completely classless. *****.

 

[NoelPHX]

Sounds like a good excuse to bean them a few more times

 

[JS22]

Absolutely classless. But I love it.

Should give the Dbacks something to think about during the entire offseason.

 

[Lefty]

I have no problem with it. Win the freaking game and they don't celebrate. Can't go into next year with this same team or we will get the same results.

 

[Bodha]

Does not irk me



I put the onus on the diamondcraps



This game/series was our superbowl. They knew going in that if LA won, than thatd be the division title. And of course theyd celebrate. To what extent, noone knows, but thats not the point.

This was the only game that mattered this season. DO NOT LET LA WIN THE TITLE ON OUR FIELD

they blew, so screw em. You bunch of "gritty" chokejobs. How about a little less grit next year, and a little more TALENT or Baseball playing ability.

The organization told the Dodgers not to excessively celebrate when they won, and they did exactly that. It was completely classless, which defines the Dodgers in a nutshell.

That being said, I hope the D-Backs use that video as bulletin board material for next season.

 

[AZ Native]

So this is what you get for 220 million?

 

[devilalum]

Anything the Dbacks or their fans say just sounds like whining.
If you don't like it quit sucking and celebrate on their field next year.

That's just stupid. Who the hell tells another team that they can't celebrate? Maybe the Dbacks should focus on not choking away the game?

 

[Gee!]

If you really want to get pissed, go look at the dodgers twitter where they rub it in being in our pool..

 

[devilalum]

Losers that complain about the winners behavior just sound like bigger losers.

 

[FArting]

Last time someone celebrated at Chase Field winning the west was the Padres in 2006

next year Dbacks made it to NLCS

I totally disagree. You can win with class, the Dodgers don't know how. I was there today and their "fans" are totally classless. There are 220 million reasons they won the division, too bad class is not one of them.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

The Dodgers know they don't have a ballpark worth celebrating in.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Totally inappropriate. I'm not sure there is another stadium that has anything as unique as a pool, however, I would bet big bucks that no other team has ever gone to this length to celebrate in a competitors home.
All players know this and the douche-baggeryness of this is underscored by the counts made by probably one of the classiest guys in all of MLB - Willie Bloomquist, who called out the Dodgers as being completely classless and saying that the Yankees would never be so lame...
I honestly can't believe Donnie Baseball allowed this crap. He truly has zero control of his team which will one day soon cost him his job...
I didn't think it was possible for me hate the Dodgers anymore than I already did...

Dodgers pitchers hit our batters five times yesterday. Five times! We hit them zero.

Yet, according to rules, both teams received a warning.

Perhaps we should hit them "down under" in Australia at the start of next season.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

I'm generally of the mindset if you don't want a team to celebrate then simply win the game

However, I can't recall many celebrations that left the field of play, went back to the clubhouse area and then came back out into the stadium to celebrate in the actual seats

I think that is the part I have a problem with - jumping over the yellow line into the actual seating portion of the stadium ....... do your field celebration, get back to the clubhouse and spray some champagne and then hit some bars

Yeah, Mattingly is simply the benefactor of expensive talent. Nothing more, nothing less. Give me a $200mil payroll and I'll get you a division title, too. At least with the Yankees, Torre and Girardi could somewhat manage and control the expensive talent and big egos of that dugout, and have rings to prove it.

To me, Mattingly doesn't exude leadership or control over the organization; the front office does. Meanwhile, for the D-Backs, while obviously not as talented as the Dodgers, it is easy to identify who runs the dugout: Mr. Gibson. Who allows a little ass clown rookie like Puig, who barely speaks English, to act like Randy Moss all season long and not put him in his place?

I'm sure the fact that the D-Backs had a huge lead over the Dodgers at one point and Kennedy plunking a couple of players were the activating events for such a classless display of celebration, but this is still a man's game, and grown men don't spit in the face of other players like that.

I foresee some pitches hurled in the direction of some Dodgers in the 2014 opener in Australia. Very appropriate venue for the team to have a scrum in the middle of the field

I think what the Dodgers did was tacky but in the end it's just not that big of a deal. We come off looking much worse whining about it than the Dodgers did by doing it in the first place.

Yeah, it's not like they ran out and took a leak, or spit on, the faces of the Yankees plaques in Yankee stadium. This will, and should, be thoroughly forgotten by the teams by next season.

It's not like the pool is "hallowed ground".

I don't like it, but as I said before the game - "If you don't want another team to celebrate clinching the division at your place - don't let them clinch the division at your place." Simple as that.

Personally, I am just glad none of the players got hurt. Had the same concern when I was watching (in person) the D-Backs jump into the pool just a couple years back. I could just imagine the headlines had a player cracked his head open on the wet concrete around the pool or slipped and broke an arm, etc.

The self adulation by players has gotten so old and tiring and irritable. Whatever happened to the "game winning hit". Oh that's right , it has been replaced by the "walk off", that is accompanied by a mob greeting at home plate. In football every catch gets a choreographed dance routine. Every TD results in up in the air chest bumps that would make a Lipizzan stallion show look mundane. Every free throw, made or missed in basketball requires hand slaps at the free throw line. The selfish acts of "spontaneous" scripted celebrations is ridiculously old and boring in sports. Oh yeah it's just a cultural shift of the today generation. I forgot to take that into account.

The perfect follow up would be if the Dodgers get blown away in the first round of the playoffs. Premature celebration of mediocrity.

Who says? What makes the yankees stadium "hallowed"?

I don't think anyone has a problem with celebration, they earned it, but when they come back out of the locker room for that extra it can't help but have an air of classlessness and represents a big middle finger by the club.

You couldn't be more wrong... Are the things in your home worth less to you than anything in my home mean to me? It's wrong to compare the pool to things in other stadiums. The bottom line is that the pool is not the Dodgers pool. Chase Field is not their home. They celebrated on the field when the game ended. They popped the champagne in the clubhouse... Just like all other teams have done for decades. Them they came back out and jumped in a pool that's not theirs. It was wrong and anyone who protested their tacky, classless actions are spot on! And if I'm a Dback player or coach, rest assured this would not at all be swept under the rug!!'
