This game may not be as fun ha

Mad Max doesn't look like he's in a good mood. Strikes out the side to open the game.

Nice flail, Hos.

Right now Java Joe could use a few of those 24 runs on Friday.
— MadFriars (@madfriars) July 18, 2021

Strong wind blowing in from left field, with all three flags fully rippling in the direction of the plate when Fernando Tatis Jr. faced Max Scherzer. Probably explains why that 109.2 mph tank died at the warning track.

This camera work …

And Manny ends the potential no-hitter.
— MadFriars (@madfriars) July 18, 2021

The Padres have now scored more runs in this series than in any other 3-game series in franchise history.

Bring Annie on the broadcast every time hos comes up to bat.
— Brian (@monkigrass) July 18, 2021

That was more likely than a Camarena grand slam but not by much.

The CronenFlip is one of my favorite things.
— jesse agler (@jesseagler) July 18, 2021

The Jake Cronenworth on-the-run glove flip is replacing the Manny Machado smooth one-handed short-hop as my favorite regular Padres defensive occurrence.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) July 18, 2021

Don's got a HOF laugh. Right behind Tony in Padres history.
— Joey Gallo trade encourager (@DefiniteExpert) July 18, 2021

I would very much appreciate Scherzer not taking his bases loaded revenge on the Padres.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) July 18, 2021

I am stunned he escaped that with no runs. Wow. HAVE to win this game.
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) July 18, 2021

It's amazing what is now considered "routine" when it comes to Tatis. An incredible amount of ground that he covered on the pop-up by Turner.
— MadFriars (@madfriars) July 18, 2021

Tommy Pham always has a facial expression that looks like he smelled the world's worst fart when he gets banged up in games.

Profar HR? Now I know I’m on drugs.

Pagan why?

O’Gravy because you’re gonna wanna cover that turkey up thank you
— Joey Gallo trade encourager (@DefiniteExpert) July 18, 2021

Cool. Soto should have been down on strikes and instead hits a home run.
— Kevin B. (@CornfedFriar) July 18, 2021

Banish Pagán to the mirror dimension
— Chad (@TheChamner) July 18, 2021

Pagan getting fucking hosed and promptly gives up the lead. Grrrreat.
— Danny Ortiz (@5point5Dan) July 18, 2021

Hand job insufficient, save blown
— Joey Gallo trade encourager (@DefiniteExpert) July 18, 2021

Mateo's one skill was very valuable this inning. Credit where credit is due, I guess.
— Kevin B. (@CornfedFriar) July 18, 2021

Hand was so good with the Padres but every now and then he'd have outings where he lost the feel for the slider and things would snowball fast.

Glad that's happening today.
— Geoff: Shark Family Patriarch (Do do do dododo) (@LeftCoastBias) July 18, 2021

Bases full of Padres. Time to party.
— Kevin B. (@CornfedFriar) July 18, 2021

I hate extra innings these days with the ghost runner and holy shit I just jinxed Melancon I’M SO SORRY.

Daddy shark gets baby shark swinging, one away in the 9th.

Padres have now hit four batters in this game and Austin Adams has not pitched.
