Livvy Dunne reacts to George Springer hitting a home run during the Pittsburgh Pirates vs Toronto Blue Jays game while playing Paul Skenes as his pitcher. In a viral clip uploaded to Jomboy Media’s YouTube channel, many baseball fans appreciate her enthusiasm as she cheers for her boyfriend while another player hits a home run off Skenes.
In the split-screen video, Dunne shouts “Let’s Go Paul” for her boyfriend, and shortly after, Springer hits a home run on the third pitch from Rogers Centre. Dunne seems disappointed, and an expletive could be heard as she watches the hitter run the bases.
Dunne knew it would be a home run even before the ball made its way out of the park.
“She knew it was gone right off the bat. That’s a ball knower,” one commenter commented.
The viral video resonated with many baseball fans who found themselves in Dunne’s shoes while watching the game live.
“Oh, she’s a real fan now. She looked annoyed, like the rest of us with our teams,” a Twitter user posted.
Other Twitter users used this opportunity to fight back at critics who claim that Dunne’s interest in playing baseball is fake.
“You may not like the attention on her, but I think her fandom is real. I love anything that helps grow the game. She will.”
