Overview
- The harassment began after the Dodgers lost 4-3 following Tanner Scott's late‑inning outing on Friday, May 29, when anonymous users posted violent messages aimed at the pitcher and his family.
- Maddie Scott publicly shared screenshots of the messages on her Instagram Stories on June 1–2, showing direct messages and multiple rapid comments that have since circulated in news reports.
- The captured posts include explicit violent threats and hateful language directed at the couple, their young son and an expected child, with one pseudonymous account identified as hawk.3112090 posting several comments in minutes.
- As of the latest coverage there are no publicly reported arrests, platform removals, or team security measures announced in response to the screenshots shared by Maddie Scott.
- Reporters place the episode in a wider pattern of recent threats to MLB players and their families, noting how social‑media anonymity and legalized sports betting are cited as factors that intensify online abuse and could push teams and platforms to change security and moderation practices.
