Thank Yu…thank you boys for giving it your everything, and thank you #friarfaithful…turn off your phones and enjoy the #magic of being San Diegan this weekend. Let’s talk next week…🤎💛
Fernando Tatis Jr. of the @Padres has hit 4 HR in 5 games this postseason. He has not struck out once.
The only other player in MLB history to have 4+ HR and no strikeouts over any 5-game span in the postseason was Lou Gehrig from 1928-32.
Xander Bogaerts waited to give Jackson Merrill a big hug after that 3-run HR. Fun Fact about the #Padres teammates:
Bogaerts bought suits for Merrill & Graham Pauley to start the season. He said when he came up as a rookie with the #RedSox, Dustin Pedroia did that for him. (🧵)
The @Padres:
4/8: down 8-0, won 9-8
5/20: down 5-0, won 6-5
7/30: down 5-0, won 6-5
9/4: down 5-0, won 6-5
No other MLB team in 21st century has had 4 games in a season where they were down 5+ runs & being shut out only to blank their opponent the rest of the way & rally to win
Here’s some random (but cool, imo) Padres off day content for y’all. I made a compilation of every time Don & Mud have done the “🗣️Say it!” bit so far this season.
Fun fact: The Padres are UNDEFEATED this season when Don & Mud do this bit! 👀

"This is San Diego baseball. Even when they're behind, they
don't feel like a team that will lose. This season's Padres are
that kind of team. San Diego this season is all about miracles
and magic.”
