What happened in the Padres vs. Reds series finale walk‑off?
All right. Padres walk it off against the Reds. Fernando Tatis Jr. of all people. His first home run at Peko Park this season on june tenth. A wall scraper. His first tournament of the year was in DC. That ball was demolished at four fifty something. And then this one to be a home run in one of thirty ballparks. I haven't checked myself, but that's what I'm seeing online is that that would have been a home run in one of thirty ballparks. But who cares? It's a homer, it's a walk off, it's a win. And it's now at what three and three homestand instead of two and four. And You know, they're in a playoff spot. I know it doesn't matter on June tenth, but You know, for all the complaining and how frustrating it it is to watch this team like
It is frustrating. Today I was just frustrated watching this team. And for a good moment there, it felt like they were going to lose this game. Michael King had given up a couple of home runs. Then another wood home run was given up. And it was just like There just it just seems like a really depressing baseball team and Not fun to watch. And then boom. Nando hits Homer and it's like, Oh, okay. He'll take it. You know, cool moment, they'll take it. I don't know what this is gonna mean. One of the questions that I was just watching in the stamina presser. I forget who asked it, but is Stam is uh is Fernan maybe it was Cassville. Was is Nando back? And Staman was saying, Well, I don't think that Nando was ever gone, uh he was always here.
And of course Stamin's gonna say that, but come on. If Nando was here and like he wasn't gone, then that's trouble. that that is who he is, right? 'Cause you need a better Fernando Tatis Jr. if you're gonna wanna go win the World Series. Um With that line drive, like I will say this. He's been one of the Padres best players over the last month. Just go look at the numbers production wise. Offensively, he's hitting over three hundred in the last thirty games. So We can complain about him not having homers.
Why was Fernando Tatis Jr.'s home run considered a game‑changer?
But He's still producing. Now, does it look like It's that great because You know, the Padres they've They've lost what fourteen or fifteen of no fourteen of twenty two games, I think it is. Like it doesn't look great. or 14 to 21, something like that. It doesn't look great. So Nando's performance probably doesn't stand out too much. But He is one of the guys that is coming through the most. And someone else who's coming through is Samad Taylor. as the spark plug. I think Nando has said he's the spark plug. And it's like It's a little embarrassing for the spark plug. on this team to be Samad Taylor, it's nothing against him. And I guess the spark plug is supposed to be one of those unsung heroes and not one of the stars, but when I think of spark plug, I think of someone like Jackson Merrill.
Like that's who the spark plug should be. Fernando Tatis Junior. You know, like that's who I think of. Um but Samad Taylor, like credit to him. His speed. You know, he's been making he's made a couple of good catches out there in the outfield. He's got versatility offensively, he's coming through. So Yeah, I keep Keep throwing him out there. Keep playing him because he's one of the guys that deserves to be playing right now. Um but yeah, circling back to Nando, like he's one of the guys that's producing. So Is he gonna hit twenty home runs this season? No. But there's other ways that you can help a team win. Um, it's not all about the home runs. What was frustrating was he wasn't hitting homers and then he was sucking offensively too.
Like it's not like he was producing in some other way. So if he's gonna produce like this, sure, you want more from it when it's a three hundred forty million dollar contract. But it's much better than what the alternative was. So I will take it for now. Uh someone that's still really getting on my nerve is Manny. Just strike it out on ninety two mile per hour pitches that there's no way you should be s striking out on. Was it Nando earlier today that Someone It was early I wanna say it was the first or second inning. It was a pit side right down the middle and they just watched it go by strike three.
