Drama on and off the Field: Dodgers-Padres Series Heats Up

In partnership with

The Dodgers-Padres rivalry just keeps getting wilder. As the two teams prepare for Game 3 tonight, the drama has spilled over from the field into real life, with bizarre twists that feel more like a Hollywood script.

Nasty Exchange on Field

First, tensions hit a boiling point when Manny Machado clashed with Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty in game two, sparking a heated exchange that’s adding fuel to this already intense matchup.

Then, Padres third-baseman Machado has possibly found himself under investigation for allegedly throwing a ball at Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shortly after that exchange with Flaherty. According to the LA Times and the Athletic, the Dodgers have reportedly asked MLB to review the video of the incident with Dave Roberts calling it “unsettling”.

Buehler Robbed by a Mob at Santa Anita

But here’s the kicker: just hours before taking the mound, Dodgers ace Walker Buehler finds himself embroiled in off-field drama no one saw coming. Set to start tonight’s critical Game 3 against the Padres, Buehler is making headlines after being robbed of his $100,000 watch while at Santa Anita racetrack with his wife.

What We Know:

• Quick theft: Buehler’s $100,000 watch was stolen at Santa Anita racetrack on September 28. He alerted park security immediately.

• Multiple incidents: Two other victims reported stolen watches at the park that day, including one taken in a crowd and another in an attempted "embrace" theft.

• Suspect arrested: Police arrested 24-year-old Camilo Nino-Hernandez for felony grand theft and possession of a fake social security card.

• Victims unidentified: Arcadia Police have not confirmed if Buehler was involved in any of these specific incidents.

What’s Next?

All eyes will be on Buehler tonight as he battles both the Padres and the distraction of his high-profile robbery. Will Machado keep his balls—and his temper—in check? Can both teams shake off the chaos and deliver when it counts?

One thing’s for sure—you can’t make this stuff up.

LA County Voters Ready to Say Goodbye to Gascón

With crime concerns at an all-time high, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is on the ropes. A new poll shows challenger Nathan Hochman with a commanding 30-point lead.

According to a UC Berkeley/LA Times poll, if the election were held today:

• 51% of likely voters would back Hochman

• Only 21% would stick with Gascón

• But a significant 28% remain undecided

Gascón’s tough road ahead reflects the growing frustration in L.A. County.
