Padres beat San Francisco Giants 6-5 on walk-off home run – McCovey Chronicles

Oh, sorry, did I say three things happened? If they win one of their remaining 2 video games and the Phillies and Brewers each lose a video game, theyre in.

Before we get to anything else, let me just state the following: I best regards hope that I never again in my life need to witness the San Francisco Giants getting strolled off in the seventh inning while playing at home.

The second thing that took place was Wilmer Flores hit a go-ahead, 3-run, 2-out crowning achievement in the 6th inning, which is basically the eighth inning in a doubleheader, and you wished to choose Flores up, place him on a throne, bring him around town like a king, and possibly relabel your kid after him.

OK fine a third thing happened, which was that Sam Coonrod came in for the conserve and quit an infield single, a walk, and a walk-off 3-run home run over the game that made the majority of us die inside and sent us exploring our album collections to find our Joni Mitchell albums so we can listen to them all night long while browsing old picture albums and thinking back over what when was while thinking about how those days are lost and were never getting them back.

And those were the 2 things that took place.

I have to talk about the video game. I dont desire to talk about the game, however I have to talk about the game.

Which was this dumbass game.

The very first thing that happened was the Giants fell back the San Diego Padres 3-1, with Jeff Samardzijas effort at a heroic return falling a bit flat. You did not think the Giants had much of a possibility.

Oh, sorry, did I state three things happened? Nope, just two things. Just those 2 things.

But no. I need to discuss the game. I dont desire to talk about the game, however I need to speak about the game.

Their durability is about to be checked. Time to learn what the Giants have got.

Other than I do not have anything to state about the game, due to the fact that only three things took place.

I dont say that as an excuse or to be a sore loser. I state this as a suggestion that baseball in 2020 is unlike anything weve ever seen. And while its been a thrilling ride, I hope its unlike anything we ever see again.

The Giants relocated to 29-29, on a day when the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers both was up to 28-30.

Well damn, Im only 85 words in. I truly thought that if I might get to 400 or 500 words without talking about the video game, then I might just wrap it up without anyone noticing.

They still control their fate. Theyre in the postseason if they win on Saturday and Sunday. If they win one of their remaining two video games and the Phillies and Brewers each lose a video game, theyre in.
