Dodgers fans react to Max Muncy's big milestone amid Yankees pummeling
The post Dodgers fans react to Max Muncy's big milestone amid Yankees pummeling appeared first on ClutchPoints.
The New York Yankees entered their weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers with something to prove. They lost the 2024 World Series in embarrassing fashion to Los Angeles. After Mookie Betts was ruled out with a toe injury, New York was hopeful that Will Warren could shut the Dodgers lineup down. Instead, New York used three pitchers in the first two innings, were they fell behind 10-0. Max Muncy hit a three-run home run, reaching a significant milestone in his 10-year career.

Muncy's home run did more than just knock Warren out of the game. It was the 200th long ball of his career. His team and Major League Baseball both captured the moment on their social media pages.
The Dodgers and MLB weren't the only two accounts talking about the game on Saturday. Fans took to social media to voice their opinions on Warren's performance and Los Angeles' dominance, even without Betts on the field.
'Max Muncy owns you,' one Dodgers fan said to a Yankees supporter who made the trip to Los Angeles to watch the game.
'A four-spot in the top of the 1st? Now that's how you make an entrance!' said another fan. 'Whether it's Max Muncy going yard for No. 200, the Dodgers coming out swinging, or Kekius Maximus leading off with a 4-run crusade in Hardcore Mode—it's all about setting the tone early. Pitchers barely got their cleats dirty and they're already in damage control.'

'That was an epic moment for Max Muncy, loved it!' posted another.
'dodgers are up 10-0 in the 2nd, max muncy 200th homer,' said a Dodgers fan, enjoying the moment. 'hyeseong kim 2nd mlb homer life is great right now!'
'Put some respect on Max f'n Muncy,' was all one fan had to say.
With Shohei Ohtani getting closer to his first Dodgers start as a pitcher, Los Angeles fans have plenty to look forward to. However, their team showed out on Saturday, proving that there is still a gap between them and the Yankees.

‘Ballerina' Reviews: Are Critics In Step With ‘John Wick' Spinoff?
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina — starring Ana de Arma and featuring Keanu Reeves — has some, but not all, critics jumping for joy. Rated R, Ballerina plays in Thursday previews and opens in 3,400 North American theaters on Friday. The logline for Ballerina reads, 'Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.' Directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina also stars features John Wick franchise stars Reeves, Anjelica Huston, Ian McShane and the late Lance Reddick in supporting roles. Ballerina also stars Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno and Norman Reedus. The review embargo for Ballerina lifted Wednesday afternoon and the film is getting a mostly positive reception from Rotten Tomatoes critics with a 75% rating based on 55 reviews as of the publication of this article. The rating, of course, could change as more reviews roll in the throughout the week and over the weekend. The RT Critics Consensus and Popcornmeter rating are still pending. David Ehrlich of IndieWire is among the top critics on RT who gives From the World of John Wick: Ballerina a 'fresh' review, writing, 'The good news is that Ballerina has another place it wants to show us, and that place turns out to be a wonderful addition to this franchise's ever-swelling cinematic universe.' David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter also thinks Ballerina takes a step in the right direction, noting in his review summary on RT, "[Ana] de Armas is a magnetic presence with all the right moves, and [Len] Wiseman's muscular direction make for mindless summer action entertainment with a lot of style." Also praising Ballerina is Gregory Nussen of Deadline Hollywood Daily, who writes in his RT summary, '[Ana] de Armas is a huge reason why this all works; her presence is beguiling, and her movement is immaculate. So, too, is Jason Ballantine's editing job.' Among Ballerina's detractors on RT is Liz Shannon Miller of Consequence, who writes in her 'rotten' review, "As a vehicle to add more lore and nuance to the JWCU — while also delivering numerous fun action sequences — Ballerina functions well. Unfortunately, it fails to give its star a real character to play, or a substantial plotline." Tim Grierson of Screen International is another top critic on RT who gives Ballerina a 'rotten' review, writing, 'Ballerina isn't sharp enough to deserve [Ana] de Armas's killer performance.' From the World of John Wick: Ballerina — plays in Thursday previews and opens in wide release in theaters on Friday.

New Jersey's Stockton University prepares to host soccer players ahead of FIFA Club World Cup
This New Jersey university is preparing to host a Brazilian soccer team ahead of FIFA Club World Cup This New Jersey university is preparing to host a Brazilian soccer team ahead of FIFA Club World Cup This New Jersey university is preparing to host a Brazilian soccer team ahead of FIFA Club World Cup Some of the best soccer players in the world will soon arrive in New Jersey. Lincoln Financial Field will host matches for the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup in Philadelphia, but Stockton University has also been selected as a training site. Focusing on straight lines and overlapping passes, the grounds team at the school in Galloway Township is mowing the soccer field with precision. Crews are working around the clock after FIFA announced CR Flamengo from Brazil will be the team spending roughly two weeks training in South Jersey. "CR Flamengo is one of the most popular teams in the world with over 57 million followers," said Jeff Haines, the associate director of athletics and recreation at Stockton. "The university realizes how big of a deal this is, not just from a local soccer standpoint, but a global standpoint that puts Stockton on the map." Fresh lines were painted on the soccer field on Tuesday, and FIFA shipped new goals ahead of the practice sessions. The university's athletic director, Tony Berich, said representatives from Brazil visited the campus in December, and one of the selling points was the Bermuda grass inside G. Larry James Stadium. "I don't know if we would have this opportunity if we didn't have this field, I don't think we would have even been considered," Berich said. Stockton's field was grown at Tuckahoe Turf Farms in Hammonton, the same farm working with FIFA and Lincoln Financial Field, so it will be a smooth transition for CR Flamengo. Tuckahoe Turf Farms CBS News Philadelphia All of the practices on Stockton's campus will be closed to the public. The university installed temporary fencing around the stadium to keep the players and the field more secure. "We do have experience in hosting big events and soccer teams, this is another big exciting event that we're really looking forward to," Haines said. In 1994, Stockton hosted Saudi Arabia's team ahead of the World Cup. "We were also fortunate enough to host Nigeria in 1996 for their Olympic training camp as well. Nigeria went on to win the gold medal," Haines said. Now, Stockton is preparing for CR Flamengo's arrival on June 12, and the team will train in Galloway Township through June 23. Officials say the field and facilities will be ready. "This is the one chance that we have to be associated with … a worldwide event like this," Berich said.
