Max Muncy took a shot at some of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ doubters following the team’s 2-0 Game 5 win over the San Diego Padres in their NLDS on Friday.

Muncy went 3-for-18 with a home run in the NLDS against San Diego. He went 0-for-2 with a walk on Friday but still was in a boastful mood after the game.

In the Dodgers’ clubhouse, Muncy was captured on video shouting a message to the team’s doubters.

“80 percent of you f–kers didn’t believe in us. 80 percent of you f–kers thought we were gonna lose,” Muncy said .

Muncy may have been referencing the predictions from the MLB on FOX pregame crew, where only Dontrelle Willis had picked the Dodgers to win the series after the Padres had taken a 2-1 lead.

Though the Dodgers had the best record during the MLB regular season, there have been doubts about their ability to win in the postseason due to their pitching concerns. They exclusively used relief pitchers in Game 4 and are thin on starters with Shohei Ohtani, Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Glasnow injured, and Bobby Miller demoted.

Now it will be between the Dodgers and Mets with the NL pennant on the line.
