Dalton Rushing is having a good year for the Dodgers, but some of his antics and outbursts have ended up being the bigger focus.
Rushing has been the focus of countless posts this season from Jomboy Media. Jomboy has become famous for breakdowns and lip readings of things that happen on the field, from fights to cross-ups, so Rushing has given the outlet plenty to talk about this year.
The coverage of Rushing has not necessarily been singing his praises, and Rushing is aware of that.
"I'm off social media now, so I don't really care to see it," Rushing said on "Petros and Money" on Tuesday. "I know Jomboy has made some money off of me, so I'll throw that out there. He gets a kick out of it for sure. In all honesty, he's the least of my worries."
When Rushing was involved in a heated exchange with Cole Carrigg on Monday, one of the Jomboy Media accounts made a sarcastic comment about Rushing on X.
You guys won’t believe who’s involved in another controversy

Controversy aside, Rushing has filled a huge need for the Dodgers with Will Smith out. He has played in 58 games this year, posting an .839 OPS. Defensively, he has plenty of room to improve, but he has kept the offense from sinking without Smith. Not to say the Dodgers don't have plenty of other stars, but production from the catcher position is something the Dodgers have been able to rely on with Smith. Rushing has ensured that the team is still getting production from that spot.
