Dodgers fans are loving Padres manager's meltdown after game-altering replay review

The Dodgers lost in an absolutely unacceptable fashion on Monday night, when two Teoscar Hernández misplays directly led to a walk-off win for the Rockies, but they got some consolation when the Padres also fell to the Giants, allowing LA to maintain their two-game lead.

The Giants absolutely shelled new Padres starter Nestor Cortes in the first inning, when he immediately gave up two back-to-back homers to Heliot Ramos and Rafael Devers, and then a double and a two-run shot from Wilmer Flores.

Cortes leveled out in his next 4 2/3 innings, but the Padres' offense could hardly get a hit off of San Francisco starter Robbie Ray. Xander Bogaerts almost went yard in the second, but a questionable call led to a long delay on the field and an ejection for Dodgers enemy and Padres manager Mike Shildt.

Ramos drifted back to the wall in left-center field and didn't even have to jump to try and snag the ball. It was easy to spot the potential for trouble quickly though, as fans in the front row had the exact same idea as the player did, and may or may not have made him lose sight of the ball.

Bogaerts rounded the bases, but a review overturned the home run call, and Shildt was tossed out of the game basically the moment he stepped out of the dugout.

To be fair, it looked like a questionable call, but per MLB's own rules, "When a spectator clearly prevents a fielder from catching a fly ball by reaching onto the field of play, the batter shall be ruled out. But no interference is called if a spectator comes in contact with a batted or thrown ball without reaching onto the field of play — even if a fielder might have caught the ball had the spectator not been there." The folks in the replay review room must have determined that the fan reached too far.

Sure, the Padres were already trailing by four after the first inning, but why would Shildt storm onto the field with six innings still to go, knowing he couldn't argue with that ruling?

Maybe he's something of an oracle, as San Diego even managed to almost stage a comeback when they scored three unearned runs after some awful defense from San Francisco. If that Bogaerts fly ball had been ruled a homer, it might've turned the tides.

Still, you won't hear Dodgers fans complaining. Although LA has fallen victim to their fair share of terrible replay reviews, we have to thank MLB this time.
