All right. Series opening win for the Padres over the Marlins in Miami at Lone Depot Park. Still a weird name. I keep wanting to call it Marlin's Park. But they get the win. Luis Ranjito

How did Luis Ranjito’s two‑run homer spark the Padres’ win over the Marlins?

Ben Fadden 0:17
is the hero tonight in this game. A big two run homer, game tied two two. And he hits that two run homer there in the eighth inning. Which reminded me of the home where they hit it uh against Arcell Glacius the other night. That didn't result in the Padres win. But yeah, Luis Renifo, second homer of the year. built it to right and there's not much energy there at Lone Depot Park, obviously. Not a lot of fans. But That home or there. He really pumped up that Padres team. So that was a a cool moment to watch. And kinda energized 'em. And then Mason Miller obviously comes in there. in the ninth inning and gets the save the last pitch was one oh three and it you know somehow. some way for mean was able to Hold on to that ball.
Ben Fadden 1:13
Well look, the Marlins I personally, yes, they're ahead of the Padres. Yes. Like they were playing well. I not for one second believed that this team was gonna be a postseason team. And it's not even like me looking at their current roster. It's more just the history of the organization. I think about that like the Pirates, the Marlins, those teams, if I see them ahead of the Padres, I'm not gonna sit here and have a bunch of confidence in those teams and be like, yeah, they're gonna go make the postseason. That's part of the reason why I believe this Padres team is still gonna sneak in as that third wild card team. Um the Marlins have now lost ten games in a row. And you know, uh maybe maybe the Marlins still win the next two and they end up winning the series and it's embarrassing for the Padres, right?
Ben Fadden 2:05
But um They're playing them at the right time. They're not playing 'em when they're playing well. They're playing 'em. at a time where they are really, really struggling. They're playing 'em at a time where they're the worst team in the league. Because I I don't need to look. There's no way that another team has lost ten games in a row. Right now. Um so Really my feeling it's not like this And this is probably like the same with a lot of people in this fan base. It's not like super excited about this one. It's more of like, all right, we can relax. Hey. They won this first game. Great. Now let's go win tomorrow. Let's go win the next day. This team is not. A good team. Let I'm not saying the Padres are. They haven't proved that they are right now.
Ben Fadden 2:59
Uh but They've got good players. Let's Let's go beat a team that's not a good team. In my opinion. Um so we'll see if they can do that coming up. But As for tonight. Um yes, they were down one nothing. Merrill with the the liner, Manny scores, it's one one, then Manny With the single Makes it two to one. Uh there was some mis uh mislocation there from those Marlins pitchers. Uh one of 'em wanted a pitch to be up and out of the zone. It ended up being pretty middle, like middle in, I think, on Manny. Um, so really like capitalizing on those mistakes. And then Ren HIFO there. On that home run. Just uh Whiffle ball almost pitch. that just was grooved by Zuber, whatever you say his name, sweeper just right into the zone.
Ben Fadden 4:05
And Renjifa was not fooled at all. He was totally expecting it to come, to move right into the zone. And he smacked it. And it's such a long season in Major League Baseball that this stuff happens. To make the postseason, it takes everyone and more. In spring training you weren't thinking that the Padres were gonna have Luis Luis Renhifel be a reason why they won a baseball game this year. And if they go make the playoffs by one or two games Well Luis Rangifa was a big part in why the Padres made the playoffs, right? So There's just so many guys that contribute over a season that will Probably gonna forget about. But it's these moments here that you enjoy it. It's some of the cool parts of baseball where you're like, Oh
Ben Fadden 4:51
Okay, Luis Renifo, he gets signed. During the year? Two, I want to say a minor league deal. Yeah. And then uh then he comes up and He's impacting the big league club.
