VIDEO: Dodgers Working Out With Fake Crowd Noise at Stadium is All Sorts of Weird
By Michael Luciano
The Los Angeles Dodgers will once again chase a World Series title in 2020, but they will have to do so without fans in the stands due to the coronavirus pandemic, setting the stage for an unusual season. As the Dodgers started to work out as a team in preparation for the shortened 2020 season, third baseman and potential DH candidate Justin Turner launched a few bombs into the left field stands at Dodger Stadium. Time to get used to this! Turner's blasts were met with some fake crowd noise!
Just like the old days. ?

My goodness that's weird. Is this what we're going to hear every game now?
Turner it .290 with 27 home runs last year, and this clip has Dodgers fans optimistically thinking he can be the team's primary DH in 2020.

450-foot dingers being met with sullen silence is incredibly awkward, so the fake crowd noise will almost be a must.
