‘Get them back.’ Dodgers look for redemption in NLDS rematch with Padres
San Diego Padres players celebrate after defeating the Dodgers in the 2022 NLDS at Petco Park. The quote was so apt, Major League Baseball used it on social media to promote the Southern California showdown in this year’s National League Division Series.
“This,” San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado said, “is what everyone wanted to see.”
The Dodgers, it turns out, included.
“Me, I wanted San Diego,” outfielder Teoscar Hernández said. “Just because of the adrenaline and the intensity, just the history of these two teams. I think this is the best scenario for us. And not only us, but the whole baseball world.”
