The Dodgers almost won the game, but let it slip away, and fans lashed out at the team for squandering their lead. Several fans called out Max Muncy for his poor performance. Here’s a look at some fan reactions from X.

“Muncy, seriously how is he in the lineup. I keep saying it, but at this level you have to produce. period. He has almost a zero on the year. He just needed to put the ball in play but is just swinging out of control and missing by a mile,” one fan chimed in.

We can't keep going on with the bottom of the order being useless. Call up Hyeseong Kim. Call up Estuery Ruiz. We need better offense. Max Muncy can't do it. Andy Pages can't do it. We need to make changes.
