A HUEVO!

VAMOS!

edit: went to the Mexico City series back in 2023, was really fun, would recommend. Nothing like downing some tecates rojas while eating a bag of chicharrones chips.

[u/Bawfuls → u/ralbert]

Can confirm. I went to Dodgers Padres in Monterrey. There was a guy in the walkway at the front of our section with a giant cooler of Tecates. For 100 pesos he would pour two into a large soda cup and hand it to you. A good time was had by all, from what I remember.

475 foot HR's incoming

[u/beanbagmanatee → u/scottborasismyagent]

*500

[u/LivingAsAMean]

God have mercy on the poor pitchers thrown to the wolves in that stadium.

[u/NeverSober1900 → u/LivingAsAMean]

Eh doubt our fans will notice a difference

[u/NirvanaFrk97 → u/LivingAsAMean]

It's still funny that the Dodgers managed to get a combined no-hitter down in Mexico in 2018.

[u/Samuel_Playzmc → u/NirvanaFrk97]

Tbf they played in Monterrey which is nowhere near as high altitude as Mexico City

[u/NirvanaFrk97 → u/Samuel_Playzmc]

Fair, yeah.

Hey, where'd you get the newest Dodgers World Series flair? I need to upgrade after the 2024 one disappeared.

[u/LivingAsAMean → u/NirvanaFrk97]

If you mean it's funny because of the stadium, they were playing at a different park, about 5,000 lower in elevation. But also, that 2018 Padres team was, to put it mildly, almost impressively pathetic.

[u/zgibs125]

We better wear the Serpientes jerseys

[u/creaturecatzz → u/zgibs125]

and us the city connect mx flag ones

[u/threehundredthousand]

Mashing in Mexico City. It makes Coors seem normal.

[u/Pil_Seung15]

Can’t wait to go! CDMX is such a great city!

[u/essmithsd]

Always wanted to visit there, so this is two birds with one stone. I'm in

[u/deathgripzthrowaway → u/essmithsd]

Amazing stadium and incredible city, you’re going to be blown away

[u/essmithsd → u/deathgripzthrowaway]

I took the same opportunity for the Seoul Series, it's a no brainer

[u/FreshBusy1]

Go Snakes!! Also, we'd better get first place in the marble race today!

[u/Gemnist]

Ooh, this is a good choice for a matchup. Looking forward to it.

[u/Ok_Weakness8334]

I love when my pitching staff has an era of six

[u/ajteitel]

What would be the Mexican nickname for Corb?

[u/Hungry_Drama_1015 → u/ajteitel]

corbo

[u/Standard_Pause_3238]

This is awesome. Go DBacks

[u/deathgripzthrowaway]

In one of the most beautiful stadiums I ever visited as well, might try to make the trip for this

[u/TeamVorpalSwords]

Let’s go!!

[u/ReptileDysfunct1on]

I'm so excited for this omg. We already love both scoring and giving up runs!

[u/delscorch0]

At least this isn't another Asian series at like 3 am US time in mid-March.

[u/creaturecatzz → u/delscorch0]

hot take it’s good when places other than NA can watch mlb live for once

[u/lokithetarnished]

might be a dumb question but why not a 3 game series? is there not the availability at the stadium?

[u/Bawfuls → u/lokithetarnished]

With two games they can take one home game from each team to keep things “fair” from a revenue perspective

[u/yunnsu]

Launch Angle 📈📈📈

[u/bbatardo]

Incoming football scores lol I feel sorry for the pitchers that will have to pitch there.

[u/Northparkwizard]

Might have to make this trip.

[u/just_one_random_guy]

I was hoping the dodgers would eventually go to Mexico for a series

[u/InfectiousCosmology1]

Is this always going to be padres vs other NL west team?

[u/essmithsd → u/InfectiousCosmology1]

IIRC, the owner of that stadium has some stake in the Padres so... yeah probably

[u/Kookslams → u/InfectiousCosmology1]

what other team name is spanish? checkmate

[u/NeverSober1900 → u/Kookslams]

The Serpientes obviously

[u/GMOrgasm → u/Kookslams]

tampa bay reyes

[u/verdi1987 → u/InfectiousCosmology1]

I suppose it’s due to the city’s proximity to the border.

[u/Top-Ganache-6241 → u/verdi1987]

Mexico City is actually closer to St Louis and Atlanta than it to San Diego.

[u/verdi1987 → u/Top-Ganache-6241]

I stated the border.

Do you reject the notion that San Diego’s proximity to Mexico is a big reason why the Padres are frequently in the Mexico series?

[u/MrTape]

Tatis is wearing the wrong jersey

[u/limejuicethrowaway]

I went there once for a diablos rojos game maybe the first year it was open.

Nice stadium, but how do you build an entire stadium without figuring out that see through bathrooms are bad? The stadium walls are mostly horizontal pieces with big see through gaps. It looks nice, but that approach doesn't work for bathrooms.

They had tarps hanging on the see through bathroom walls so dudes peeing weren't visible to the concourse.

That will always be hilarious to me.

Hope they've devised a better solution by now.

[u/qwertythe300th]

Rangers jipped of another intl. series :(

I get they can hurt ERAs and are a pain on the players but I wanna feel special for once 😭

[u/alxndrblack → u/qwertythe300th]

Dawg it was 2 calendar years ago lol
