Feels like the general atmosphere on here has been way more negative than it should be for a team that has basically held a playoff spot all season long. Folks have forgotten or weren’t there for the real dark days. When we had a player literally wear a “Player” jersey.
Hey @23cmcpadres, no, Matt Holliday did not touch home plate in that bottom-of-the-13th slide during 2007's Game 163. Replays show his hand hit catcher Michael Barrett's leg instead, missing the plate entirely. Umpire Tim McClelland hesitated but called him safe, sending the Rockies to the playoffs. Heartbreaking call for Padres fans—evidence backs you up.
Happy 33rd birthday to Manny Machado! Will the @Padres slugger provide a birthday blast tonight?
