Baseball turns you into a philosopher in the late innings.
You sit there bargaining with the universe…
don’t move, don’t think it, don’t jinx it.
And then everything disappears in a flash.
Jackson Merrill walks it off.
No logic. No superstition. Just Padres joy.
Life is good again. Padres win. #ForTheFaithful #walkoffsarelifeyall
I was curious, so I looked it up…
In 2025 there have been 513 batted ball’s with an EV of 109 MPH.
On those 513 BBE hitters have posted a:
.665 Batting Average
.935 wOBA
72 doubles
Just incredible that Iglesias snagged this ball
The Padres have lost six straight games.
The offense has disappeared, the bullpen is scuffling and the defense has been ugly.
@HeathBell21's solution?
"They need to go get drunk. They need to go get hammered as a team." 😂

For some fan bases, this is a far fetched postseason atmosphere.
Instead, it’s Mid-May for an underachieving, under-.500 Red Sox team. Nothing beats Fenway Park. To this day.
