Dodgers fans’ baseless cheating conspiracy explodes as mysterious MLB texts fuel speculation

The Milwaukee Brewers completed a four‑game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, clinching the series with a 6‑4 victory in Game 4 on October 15, 2026. The decisive game was played at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

Fans of the Dodgers pointed to several extended at‑bats by Jake Bauers – a 12‑pitch walk against Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2, a lengthy duel with Blake Snell in Game 3 and another protracted plate appearance versus Tyler Glasnow in Game 4 – as alleged evidence of cheating. Garrett Mitchell added to the controversy by homering in Games 3 and 4, despite having hit only one home run off left‑handers all season.

Radio host David Vassegh claimed that unidentified MLB players texted him during Game 2 suggesting the Brewers knew Yamamoto’s pitches, and former Reds star Joey Votto said there was “a pretty good chance they caught something.”
