The Hangover 2020 – Games 1-4

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Padres @ Petco Park

July 24-27, 2020

Sometimes things can get a little fuzzy after a couple of days of trying to login to Zoom meetings with fellow Padres fans. The occasional memory refresher can come in handy. Here’s a friendly reminder of what we may have missed while we were stuck in quarantine.

This is The Hangover.

Game 1

Padres 7, Diamondbacks 2

Winning Pitcher: Chris Paddack (1-0, 0.00)

Losing Pitcher: Madison Bumgarner (0-1, 4.76)

MLB Box Score

The Padres (1-0) scored more runs than the Arizona Diamondbacks (0-1), 7-2, in first game of their four-game series and the first game of 2020. Chris Paddack (1-0, 0.00) threw six shutout innings, surrendering four hits and a walk while striking out four. Kole Calhoun hit a solo home run in the seventh inning off Emilio Pagán. Christian Walker‘s ninth inning single off Javy Guerra scored Starling Marte.

Madison Bumgarner (0-1, 4,76) gave up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over five and two-thirds innings. Eric Hosmer hit two bases-loaded doubles in back-to-back innings to drive in six runs. His sixth inning double scored Fernando Tatís Jr., Tommy Pham, and Jurickson Profar. In the seventh inning, Trent Grisham scored on a single by Pham and Hosmer’s second double drove in Tatís Jr., Pham, and Profar again.

I don’t think there’s a player I dislike more than Madison Bumgarner. I could be wrong but I feel good going with it.
— AJM (@AvengingJM) July 25, 2020

Bumgarner throws 20 pitches but it was all foul balls and strikeouts.
— Greg Weeks (@GregWeeksCLT) July 25, 2020

Tommy Pham didn't believe strikeouts were real until that happened to him.
— Joe Carrillo (@TheThinGwynn) July 25, 2020

Replace Hosmer.
— PadreHomer (@PadreHomer) July 25, 2020

Winning strategy: Just hit it at Hosmer. pic.twitter.com/PLAYWz1RAE

Hosmer. Bruh.
— Brandon Wright-Rowan (@BW_DCXIX) July 25, 2020

Hos cmon baby what is you doin???
— Eric (No Longer Miserable) (@MiserableSDFan) July 25, 2020

Get lit Hosmer got a hit!
— chris, wrestling fan (@sportsbrain) July 25, 2020

That was a fly ball. Ok, it’s on the table.
— The Kept Faith (@thekeptfaith) July 25, 2020

As I was saying all along starting Hosmer against MadBum made too much sense
— Slam Neher (@SamNeher24) July 25, 2020

Eric Hosmer's first hit off Madison Bumgarner since Game 5 of the 2014 World Series is a long single off the left-field wall.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) July 25, 2020

I see Paddack still doesn’t have a third pitch
— Oscar (@oterr_17) July 25, 2020

Mejía's still flinching on swings. Damn.
— David, Slam Enthusiast (@DefiniteExpert) July 25, 2020

Mejia’s framing has improved.
— SanDiegoJosh (@SanDiegoJosh) July 25, 2020

Cue the “Hedges could’ve done that” tweets.
— padres slamku (@padreshaiku) July 25, 2020

Holy shit the ump isn’t even trying.
— PadreHomer (@PadreHomer) July 25, 2020

Can hear the Padres yelling at umpire Ted Barrett all the way up in the press box after he calls a low ball as a strike on Grisham.
— Ben Higgins (@BenHigginsSD) July 25, 2020

The one fun thing about no fans: the Madison Bumgarner grunts are coming through loud and clear.
— Kyle Glaser (@KyleAGlaser) July 25, 2020

Ok enough of this bullshit let’s get some fucking runs
— Oscar (@oterr_17) July 25, 2020

Profar has a very warm smile. #observations
— Kevin Charity (@madfriarskevin) July 25, 2020

Juice the balls or juice the Padres. Whichever works.
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) July 25, 2020

They forgot to juice the balls in San Diego.
— Ryan Phillips (@RumorsandRants) July 25, 2020

They keep showing these condo views from four blocks away and I’m ok with my view of the broadcast tbh
— HJ Preller (@HJPreller) July 25, 2020

It feels like this would be a good time to score some runs.

"When is Bumgarner's spot in the order due up, and will they let him hit?" he thought to himself like an idiot.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) July 25, 2020

All these Taco Bell ads and the massive Taco Bell banner in right field are really highlighting the need for a Petco Park Taco Bell.
— HJ Preller (@HJPreller) July 25, 2020

We have our first chop of 2020. Fernando was very cagey when asked if it would be back.
— jesse agler (@jesseagler) July 25, 2020

CHOP THAT CANE!

CHOP THAT CANE!

CHOP THAT CANE!
— padres slamku (@padreshaiku) July 25, 2020

I see what Ketel Marte is doing, trying to swoop on Fernando’s look, and I don’t like it.
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) July 25, 2020

The cardboard cutouts are far more attentive than the usual fans behind the plate.
— AJM (@AvengingJM) July 25, 2020

the conspicuous no-mask umpire who leans in to talk to everyone
— ryan ?? (@ryanmtweets) July 25, 2020

Always liked Hosmer and thought he was great never had a problem what
— PadreHomer (@PadreHomer) July 25, 2020

The Padres are good! Go dads!!
— Céspedes Family BBQ (@CespedesBBQ) July 25, 2020

THAT'S MY FIRST BASEMAN WHO I HAVE NEVER DOUBTED
— Joe Carrillo (@TheThinGwynn) July 25, 2020

Eric Hosmer just doesn’t hit the ball on the ground. It’s what I really like about his approach.
— AJM (@AvengingJM) July 25, 2020

I’ve missed this. https://t.co/QqwJVFG6YM
— The Kept Faith (@thekeptfaith) July 25, 2020

Profar/Pham/Hosmer fouled off 6 two-strike pitches from Bumgarner in that sequence.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) July 25, 2020

Eric Hosmer just earned me an ice cream sandwich.
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) July 25, 2020

Ah at last it’s time for the #DeathBullpen
— Oscar (@oterr_17) July 25, 2020

Are they really going to do this every night?
— David, Slam Enthusiast (@DefiniteExpert) July 25, 2020

Playing Take Me Out To The Ballgame in empty ballpark is easily the strangest thing of the night.
— Marty Caswell (@MartyCaswell) July 25, 2020

We haven't talked about the fact that the Padres got Chris Paddack for Fernando Rodney in a while.
— Christopher Crawford (@Crawford_MILB) July 25, 2020

My thoughts on his non-baseball opinions is that I like him as a baseball player.
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) July 25, 2020

WIN FOR MUD’S MUSTACHE
— chris, wrestling fan (@sportsbrain) July 25, 2020

Hit the boo button, crowd noise guy. It's okay.
— David, Slam Enthusiast (@DefiniteExpert) July 25, 2020

I don't understand how someone, like an umpire or an opposing pitcher, can look at Tatis and just not give him whatever he wants.
— J⚾des Paranal (@jodes0405) July 25, 2020

Did not like Grisham diving for that ball. Did not enjoy that one bit.
— Corey (@CoreyAStewart) July 25, 2020

And Bro Hymn instead of San Diego ??????
— The Prolific Padres (@ThePitifulPadre) July 25, 2020

This yr has sucked for a number of reasons. And just when things look like they're getting worse, we get the Padres game we've waited 4 months for. Damn it, baseball. I missed you so much.
