What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All right, welcome on in, everybody. We've got Rodolfo Duran on the mound. That's the point in this game that we've reached. If you are just tuning in, you don't know what the score is, you haven't watched this game, I'll sum it up for you pretty quickly. Tonight was the 2026 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby. I thought it was supposed to be in Philadelphia. in the summer, but actually it was June 27th, 2026 at Petco park because that's what it looked like. It was meatballs all over the place. Kyle Hart started off well, you know, gets the top of the order. Then he did allow a run.
What was the final score and why did the Padres get crushed by the Dodgers?
Now the defense did not help Tatis on the sliding ball and right field. I think he should have caught that ball. There was, uh, when Randy was pitching, there was the grounder to Will Wagner. You need to make that play. It's, it's at, it's pretty much right at you. He then makes a diving play, diving to his left towards first later in the game. So it's like, you couldn't make the one that's right at you, but you can make that one frustrating. That's baseball. Um, But yeah, I mean, sure, you could talk about some mistakes from the defensive side of things. But when you're down 14 to three, it's not all about the little defensive mistakes. It's meatball after meatball after meatball. Because Gavin sheets, he ties it up with a homer 11.
And then the sixth inning comes around. And my goodness, Let's run through this sixth inning. I don't really want to, but hey, let's do it. Freddie Freeman starts it off with a double. That's ground out. The error by Wagner at second base.
How did the early innings set the tone for the 15‑3 blowout?
So let's say Wagner makes that play. There's two outs in the inning. Edmund triples still. A run still scores. Tucker homers, rushing homers, Freeland walks, Otani single. So it's not like I could be like, oh, well, if Wagner makes that play, all of that doesn't happen. But still, it's one of those things that it's just like that snowball effect is what it feels like. One bad thing happens, and it's just going to make it worse and worse and worse. And Duran just gave up a ground rule double to Andy Paz. But yeah, I mean, you want to talk about meatball of meatballs was Kyle Tucker and Dalton rushing. I mean, pitches right down the middle. I don't think you could put it on a tee better than that. And obviously they're going to capitalize on it.
Dalton rushing going yard. It really was Dodger Stadium mode. That'd be south tonight. And again, I've said this before. I don't blame Padres fans for selling tickets to Dodger fans. If you can get a profit and there's a double down the line, 15 to three Dodgers. I don't care about that. Like in the regular season, you can get a profit. Dodger fans are going to pay. more money than they probably should for regular season games. But it's a party for them because most likely they're going to do maybe not something like this where it's a total blowout, but there's a good chance that they're going to have some fun at Petco because their team's going to smack the Padres in one of the games, at least in the series.
I mean, this score reminds me of 2016 opening day. It's ridiculous. So, yeah, I mean, really, it was just the meatball fest. Meatball after meatball after meatball. I don't know why it took so long. Maybe it was because it got so out of hand that Stamman was like, hey, let's have Vasquez go as long as we can. It's already going to be a very steep uphill battle to get back into this game, to go win this game. So let's just keep him out there. Because if that wasn't the case, it took way too long for him to come out of that game. It's not like it was just two batters that he wasn't pitching well. It was just two meatballs and back-to-back. So, oh, it was quick and the reliever needs time to warm up. Sure, the reliever needs time to warm up.
But he still wasn't called up to go warm up then earlier enough. Like, Randy was out there for a while. Durant's out of the inning, going to the bottom of the ninth in a 15-3 game.
Which Dodgers hitters sparked the meatball avalanche?
Yeah, Randy was out there for a while. Then Marinaccio comes into the game, and it's not like it got a ton better.
