Los Angeles Dodgers Fans Boo Kyle Tucker After Dropped Ball in the Outfield

At the top of the ninth inning on Sunday, Jackson Chourio of the Milwaukee Brewers hit a fly ball to the warning track in right field with one out and a runner on first. While the ball wasn’t exactly a routine fly ball, Kyle Tucker got his glove on the ball and still was unable to come away with a catch.

This dropped ball led to Brewers scoring two more runs, and running away with the game. Fans immediately booed Tucker in his home stadium following his drop.

“Kyle Tucker is being booed by the Dodger Stadium crowd on Sunday,” Sports Illustrated writer Noah Camras wrote on X. “He’s 0-for-19 on this homestand. He just dropped this ball in right field. It’s been a miserable season for the Dodgers’ $240 million man.”

“Kyle Tucker is 0-for-19 on this homestand and is slashing .189/.286/.272 at Dodger Stadium this season,” ESPN reporter Alden González added.

At Dodger Stadium, Tucker only has two home runs and 17 RBIs.

On the road, Tucker is slashing .275/.371/.469 with nine home runs and 37 RBIs.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, sat Tucker on Saturday from frustration brewing due to his struggles at Dodger stadium.
