Fans react to Blake Snell’s surprising start vs Brewers in NLCS Game 3

Blake Snell’s early struggles in Game 3 of the NLCS took a sharp turn after Jackson Chourio launched a solo home run off the first pitch he saw—a 97.6 mph fastball—deep into the right-center field gap at Dodger Stadium. The Brewers’ leadoff batter sent the ball soaring 391 feet, giving Milwaukee a 1-0 lead in the opening inning and sparking a wave of fan reactions online.

Snell, who had vowed to bounce back after a shaky outing in the NLDS, quickly regrouped by striking out the next three batters in just 12 pitches, though the damage was already done. Social media users wasted no time roasting the Dodgers, with memes comparing Chourio to a lone warrior facing an army and mocking Snell’s pitch as a ‘meatball sub.’ Meanwhile, some fans questioned the Dodgers’ broadcaster, Joe Davis, for missing the call on the home run entirely, with one user joking about his apparent exhaustion during the play.
