Good or bad – seems like the Los Angeles Dodgers cannot resist making it to the headlines! And this time, it is for their $24,000,000 infielder, Max Muncy’s missed catch in the Tokyo Series. Fans cannot keep calm anymore. Especially when a former NFL quarterback made that catch.

Now, fans are criticizing Max Muncy for expressing his anger against Rodney Peete.

Peete played 15 seasons for six teams, including the Eagles and the Lions, throwing around 16,338 yards and making 76 touchdowns. He has even been a member of the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame. 

On Game 2 at the Tokyo Dome, Rodney Peete made a catch that was hit out of the ground, which Max Muncy was supposed to do! Muncy looked visibly frustrated as Peete caught the foul ball and hid it! Funny, eh!

Now fans cannot stop laughing pointing out how a Dodgers fan caught the ball. But the team’s 34-year-old infielder is under scrutiny right after FOX Sports shared a small video clip on X, highlighting another black glove catching the ball instead of Muncy.

One of the fans even commented, sharing the same video, “Rodney Peete made the catch, not Max Muncy #Dodgers.”

Soon, the entire baseball world is talking about him, making him a laughing stock after he hides that ball behind unnoticed by Max Muncy. The only that he knew was that the missed catch certainly made the ball reach the stands. Now fans are literally lambasting Muncy.

Fans share their reactions on the Dodgers’ 3B missing the catch

While the entire fan base seems angry at Max Muncy for missing the catch, one user on X confirmed that it was a foul ball caught by Rodney Peete. Going by his comment, “@MLBONFOX Gonna mention that Rodney Peete caught the foul ball that Muncy was going for?” Muncy tried to go for it but to no avail. The user calls for FOX Star while making this post to give a clear idea of what actually happened.

Echoing a similar statement, another user said, “Anyone else notice it was Rodney Peete that caught it.” It seems like everyone is taking a dig at Muncy, but is Peete’s move getting overlooked? Sitting amidst the fans, some think that the ex-NFL quarterback wasn’t really in the spotlight! Yes, the foul ball was catchable, and a Dodgers fan stealing that ball from Max Muncy, making him frustrated, makes it frustrating, funny, engaging, and whatnot! 

Another questioned Rodney Peete about what he had done. “Rodney Peete?? Wtf.” During the Tokyo Series Game 2, the Dodgers top prospect, Landon Knack, pitched a ball that was hit hard by Ian Happ, reaching out to the stands. The former NFL quarterback making that catch, sitting next to his wife, really blew the fans’ minds! Especially when he was seen in the Dodgers blue! Really! 

One fan took a funny dig at him on X, “Rodney Peete lmao. Can’t wait for the guys to make fun of him.” Some are thinking that catching a foul ball might turn him into an element joke. Will it?

Another X user has shared a sensible reaction, citing, “They put the netting in place because MLB is soft; anyway, players should not be allowed to use the netting as leverage to make a catch or a play on a ball.” The netting seems to have placed MLB as being soft on the players. But now, fans are suggesting that no player should consider a way to make the catch perfectly or even play on that ball.
