This is what you can hear when ridiculous results continue to occur in online games. Usually, the loser spews anger and complaints.
Even in a game where we want to enjoy each other, if we get too one-sided results, swear words come out, but what if the flow continues in this way in a cold professional game in the real world? Even if fans on the losing side riot, they will be able to make a mistake to some extent.
But this actually happened. Last year's World Series champion, the Los Angeles Dodgers, is continuing its winning streak with strong power at the beginning of the season, pushing the opponent into a hole of frustration. The victim this time is the Atlanta Braves. On the 3rd (Korea time), the Dodgers beat Atlanta 6-5 in the last of three consecutive home games of the 2025 Major League (MLB) regular season at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

The problem is that this was a real story. The Dodgers won their opening eight consecutive games with this walk-off, and Atlanta lost seven in a row. In other words, it was a game in which the winning and losing consecutive games were in stark contrast.
Atlanta dominated the beginning of the game. Atlanta, which has been on a losing streak, scored two runs from the top of the first inning against Dodgers starter Blake Snell. Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy made a mistake on the first base when Brian De La Cruz hit an infield grounder with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. Marcel Ozuna, a runner on second base, homered in the meantime.
Nick Allen's timely double to the left with two outs and runners on first and third bases. Third baseman Matt Olsen homered, but first baseman De La Cruz was out.
In the top of the second inning, Atlanta's batters exploded taking advantage of the Dodgers' infield error. Leadoff hitter Stuart Fairchild got on base due to a throwing error at the third base and then advanced to second base during a wild pitch. Aggie Albies' timely double, Olsen's two-run double after Ojuna's walk, with one out and runners on first and third base made by Ellie White's sacrifice bunt

However, the Dodgers' hawk house, which has won seven consecutive games, was not complete with this punch. At the bottom of the second inning, Tommy 'Hyun-soo'Edman's two-run home run to the middle of the second inning set the stage for the chase. Michael Confoto's solo shot to the middle wall, which came out after one out in the bottom of the fourth inning, exploded and chased 3-5.
Atlanta's batters, who burst at the beginning, fell silent again after the third inning. Snell, who regained stability, stopped the third and fourth innings without allowing a run, and the Dodgers' must-win pitching team blocked the Atlanta batters with three hits and no runs until the ninth inning.
On the other hand, the Dodgers' lineup also burst in the second half. After one out in the bottom of the eighth inning, Confoto's right-handed hit and Smith's walk made it to first and second bases. Edman hit a ground ball to first base, but the runners made it to base. With two outs and runners on the second and third bases, Muncy hit a timely double while sweeping the runner to make it 5-5.
At this point, the tide turned toward the Dodgers. In the top of the ninth inning, Atlanta pulled out with a three-way error. Dodgers' offense in the bottom of the ninth inning. Leading hitter Farggs struck out Atlanta Raysell Iglesias swinging.
The next batter was Ohtani. Did he feel excited by striking out the leadoff hitter with a swing and miss. Iglesias threw an outside changeup (88.9 mph) on the first pitch. However, both the restraint and location were in limbo. If you give this to Ohtani, the result is clear.
Swing. Perfect! Parabolic, walk-off home run over the middle fence. Ohtani and his Dodgers teammates cheered. Atlanta players bowed again. It is the eighth consecutive setback since the opening of the season.
