Padres Mike Shildt, Yu Darvish and Fernando Tatis Jr. postgame press conference interviews after their "wild" blowout of the Dodgers in LA to even the series in game 2

Key Quotes from Game 2 NLDS:

Fernando Tatis Jr. on the fan environment at Dodger Stadium: "Wild. Oh, man, it's definitely wild out here. But at the same time, it's a good environment for baseball. Although people get carried away a little bit with their emotions. But it's a good back and forth."

Tensions escalated during the bottom of the seventh inning when frustrated Dodgers fans began throwing objects onto the field, targeting Padres left fielder Jurickson Profar, who narrowly avoided two baseballs thrown in his direction.

Tatis on the escalation: "For me, I feel like when it went over the line, when they started throwing stuff onto the field. I felt like that should not be happening in a big league game."

As chaos unfolded, the Padres gathered on the field in support of Profar, emphasizing team unity amidst the turmoil.

Tatis on the team's gathering: "Just a lot of stuff going on at that time. We have to stay together in a moment like that as a team. He has a right to be mad. But at the end of the day, we understand we're on a mission, and stuff like that is going to happen."

Padres manager Mike Shildt also weighed in on the fan behavior, echoing Tatis’s sentiments about the intensity of the environment.

Shildt on the fans: "We're going to talk with our play; we're not going to back down. We're going to elevate our game, be together, and take care of business."

Despite the chaos, Tatis and the Padres were determined to maintain their focus and composure.

Tatis on controlling emotions: "We just gathered up together and we told each other, especially Manny, to control our emotions... But just regroup, resettle. The game was on our side. We know what we're capable of."

Tatis's powerful first-inning homer and strong performance set the tone for the game.

On their mindset, Tatis said: "That's one thing that we have been doing since the entire year. So we're definitely not changing that and we're just adding more pressure. And that's what we're capable of as a group."

Yu Darvish's outstanding performance also shone through the chaos, as he delivered a critical game showcasing his resilience after a season filled with injuries.

Tatis on Darvish's pitching: "It was amazing. It was really beautiful seeing him pitch that way in a postseason game, especially knowing what he went through all this season."

Shildt praised Darvish as well, emphasizing his ability to keep his composure under pressure.

Shildt on Darvish: "Yu was fantastic. He kept his focus and concentration to go grab that seventh inning, which was obviously pretty important."

The Padres’ victory not only tied the series but reignited the intense rivalry between these two division foes.

As both teams prepare for the next game, the tension remains palpable. The series promises to be a thrilling battle, where both skill and emotions are at play.
