Jurickson Profar and Mike Shildt have a message for Padres fans as NLDS travels to San Diego

The Padres return home to Petco Park before their Game 3 against the Dodgers. With the National League Division Series in San Diego for the next two games, Padres manager Mike Shildt had a message for fans.

“I know we're about to go back to San Diego with a very, very loud, noisy, aggressive, hungry crowd that's going to be super excited and going for it,” Schildt said, via The Athletic. “But I also know we’ll stay classy, ​​San Diego.”

After Dodgers fans' debacle on Sunday night, Shildt encouraged the Padres fan base to maintain their integrity.

Jurickson Profar was at the center of trouble with fans at Dodger Stadium. After robbing Mookie Betts of a home run, Profar never left fans' radars.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Dodgers fans began throwing baseballs and trash at Profar and Fernando Tatis Jr.

It was unsightly and frankly unacceptable. Profar was escorted to the edge of the infield by an umpire. Shildt went onto the field along with Dodgers security to ensure that his players' safety was not at risk.

“I was upset. You can hurt someone,” Profar said. “I hope our people in San Diego don’t do that. I felt safe, but you still don't. This is not the right way.”

Still, the Padres continued to play their game and ended the night with a sweet 10-2 win over Los Angeles. The triumph evened the series at one game apiece and left the Dodgers and their fans in shambles.

After the game, Profar expressed his excitement about returning to Petco Park for Games 3 and 4. Like Shildt, he had a message for San Diego fans.

“I can’t wait to play in front of our fans,” said Profar. “I ask them not to throw things.”

Shildt's film reference to “Stay Classy, ​​San Diego” is apt. Sunday night's 10-2 victory over the Dodgers was just the beginning of the Padres' postseason film.

Michael King starts Game 3 for the Padres on Tuesday night. King had a 12-strikeout performance in the Wild Card Series against the Atlanta Braves. Needless to say, King is ready to dominate.

In the meantime, the Dodgers will rely on Walker Buehler, who had a 4.44 ERA, to keep them afloat.

San Diego could very well win the next two games at Petco Park to advance to the NLCS.
