Dodgers troll Madison Bumgarner with ocean-themed music

Madison Bumgarner

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ music crew came prepared for Thursday’s game against the San Francisco Giants and was very on-theme with their selections.

The Dodgers actually trolled Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner by playing several ocean-themed tunes during his start. When Max Muncy came up to the plate for his at-bat in the first, three water-themed songs were played, according to Giants reporter Andrew Baggarly.

Muncy hit an RBI single to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.

Then when Bumgarner came to the plate in the third, the Dodgers played “Cake By the Ocean.”

What’s the story with the ocean-themed songs? Muncy homered off Bumgarner in the Dodgers’ 1-0 win over the Giants on June 9. Bumgarner was upset with Muncy for admiring the hit and yelled at him, prompting Muncy to tell him to go get the ball out of the ocean. The comment became an instant catchphrase and made it onto a T-shirt. Muncy even wore the T-shirt before Thursday’s game against Bumgarner, prompting Giants manager Bruce Bochy to issue a warning.

The Dodgers knocked Bumgarner out of the game in the fourth, proving they are the kings of the sea for now.
