How did Jake Cronenworth’s walk‑off single impact the Padres’ win?
All right, my camera, my better camera for the laptop is not working, so apologies. But the Padres have knocked off the Giants here. Jake Cronenworth with a walk-off single. Huge double to start things off by Xander Bogarts in this inning. So did want to give a shout-out to him for that. But great. Great job from Crony there on that single. Good battle there to finish off this game. And he continues to deserve credit. hitting in that number two spot. To be quite honest, after today's win, they walk it off. I didn't realize they had eight walk-off wins this season. That's a good amount. It doesn't feel like they've had that many. But after today's win, a walk-off, I feel like I would have been happier. But
Literally seconds before, because I was on my phone looking at something, and as the Coney at-bat was going, and I see John Heyman tweet like three words or four words, breaking school to Dodgers. No return or anything, but you saw that news. If anyone was on their phone as well during the Coney at-bat, it happened literally during the at-bat. And then seconds later, Coney hits the walk-off. And I was excited during the moment, like, yeah, cool, cool, we hit the walk-off. But the Dodgers just got the prize of the deadline, and they're obviously the favorite. They were probably the favorite already to go win the World Series, and that would be their third consecutive World Series. And now that they land Schubel, that is only going to increase.
Now, you could look at it and be like, well, Ben, that's just going to make for an even better story when the Padres knock off the Dodgers. uh, in October. And wouldn't that be amazing? Yeah, that would be awesome. But, uh, it's hard to feel that way right now. And yes, the Padres won. And so that means that they don't lose any ground obviously tonight in the wild card. Um, I haven't gotten a chance to see what other teams around the Padres have done, but let's just see where they're at right now in the wild card. So still a game back. Um, Or maybe that's a half game back. No, 57-54. Yeah, so a game back. Obviously, the Phillies, they're in that final wild card spot. The D-backs are a game ahead of the Phillies.
Cubs have the first wild card spot. The Marlins are a half game back. The Padres, Pirates are a game and a half back. Nationals, I guess you could throw in there too, but I think I'd stop it there. So, yes, positives. Padres won. Great. They have an opportunity to take three out of four if they can win tomorrow with Michael King on the mound. So I do like their chances there. But I feel like the air got sucked out. Not of Petco because people weren't on their phones seeing the news, probably. They were locked into the game. So that moment was still great. But I don't know, probably tonight Padres fans, right after that game where they look at their phone, they probably were disappointed and not leaving the ballpark as happy as they probably would have liked to after the Padres get the walk-off.
Before getting to School Bowl in the chat, I'm sure there's a million Dodger fans that have jumped in here because... They want to see me cry over this.
What was the reaction to the Dodgers acquiring Tarek Schubel right after the walk‑off?
It's an interesting bunch. So Estrada, Mason Miller, they weren't able to finish the job here. Padres did have a lead. It was a 5-3 lead in this game. Estrada did load the bases. He walked one of the guys a couple singles. He did have a big strikeout because if he didn't get that strikeout, that would have maybe meant that Miller would have only pitched the 8th or pitched some of the 9th and not finished the entire game. Or maybe they would have tried to give him a 6-out save there. But it wouldn't have been pretty. Still didn't really end up being pretty. But he got the strikeout, and then Miller did give up that hit. That was his first blown save since, I think, the middle of last year. So super impressive by him.
In no way am I sitting here concerned about Mason Miller. He's not the one that allowed those runners to get on. And sure – Maybe he wants the pitch location back, but he's still the most dominant pitcher in the game.
