Tatis just hit that single way too hard. Somebody could’ve gotten hurt

Niceeeee piece of hitting by Manny there
— woods (@thestevenwoods) August 18, 2020

Is Hosmer allowed to swing?
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) August 18, 2020

Someone should talk to Hos about productive outs.

Challenge that Jayce.

Then again nothing gets overturned for San Diego

that looked like a suuuuper obvious challenge spot there on the play at home

Mr. Woodward, your thoughts?
— Craig Elsten (@619sports) August 18, 2020

Myers really disrespecting the game by hitting a grand slam so soon after the last one.

“I didn’t like it personally.”

That grand slam deserves another Wayne Kirby shout out…”Willy!” https://t.co/5C4hO5NIKf

Manny Machado just made an unbelievable running catch on the — WAIT FOR IT! — right field warning track.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) August 18, 2020

I can't believe what I just saw.

(Manny Machado's catch)
— JJ Cooper (@jjcoop36) August 18, 2020

Sure looked like Manny hustled to me right there.

THE 3RD BASEMAN JUST MADE AN OVER THE SHOULDER CATCH IN THE RIGHT FIELD CORNER, SCREW ALL OF YOU WHO ARE TOO LAZY TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER NARRATIVE OTHER THAN SAYING HE DOESN’T HUSTLE
— Paul Reindl (@PaulReindlSD) August 18, 2020

That looked like a Hail Mary end-zone fade.
— Dennis Lin (@dennistlin) August 18, 2020

Can’t imagine Manny practices catching fly balls in the RF corner. That was remarkable.
— Jay Posner (@sdutPosner) August 18, 2020

Is a third baseman catching the ball in the right field corner a violation of some unwritten rule or not send tweet

Oh no, Padres have a big lead again. Time to just bunt the rest of the game. Don't need to upset people.
— chris, wrestling fan (@sportsbrain) August 18, 2020

Check the unwritten rule book: are the Rangers now in the "no buntsies" stage of this game?
— MadFriars (@madfriars) August 18, 2020

Minor ain't fooling Tatis.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) August 18, 2020

One more run then everyone has to stop swinging.

Soooo what’s the unwritten rule on stealing when up six?

plz make the Rangers have to come back onto the field
— Sac Bunt Dustin (@sacbuntdustin) August 18, 2020

Ok that was disrespectful Tatis ????

Unwritten Rule #619: Tatis is always safe.
— The Kept Faith (@thekeptfaith) August 18, 2020

Profar isn’t putting up with the Rangers bullshit
— Sex Luger (@RobBishopSD) August 18, 2020

With that steal Tatis now leads the league in homers, rbi's, runs, and steals.
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) August 18, 2020

Up by 6 in the 4th inning, Fernando Tatis Jr. just stole third base with two outs on Ian Gibaut — who threw behind Manny Machado last night one pitch after Tatis' 3-0 slam.

Tatis is single-handedly burning the sport's unwritten rulebook. I am here for it.

Line of the day from @Mudcat55 after some confusion about the trivia question: "For goodness sake, if it's on the Teleprompter, Burgundy will read it!"
— Jay Posner (@sdutPosner) August 18, 2020

So this is probably what Profar and Hosmer were barking at after that half inning. This dude cannot be serious. https://t.co/5vOWYoqbRM
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) August 18, 2020

The @Rangers are about to discover WHY we need to score as many runs as we possibly can.
— AJM (@AvengingJM) August 18, 2020

Oh, look, the bullpen …
— Jay Posner (@sdutPosner) August 18, 2020

We all saw that home run from Gallo coming, right?
— Kevin B. (@CornfedFriar) August 18, 2020

Bullpen days are much worse when your bullpen sucks.
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) August 18, 2020

Gibaut whatever who cares
— Jim Russell (@JimRussellSD) August 18, 2020

Our bullpen is trash and Tingler tried to stop Tatis from putting it out of reach? Get this guy the fuck outta here.
— Pog Lankford (@poglankford) August 18, 2020

The biggest single improvement from @tatis_jr is his defense. From 18 throwing errors last year to being a sure thing this year. #PayElNiño
— Craig Elsten (@619sports) August 18, 2020

After Perdomo, Pagán, and Guerra, it’s making Stammen look kinda good.
— Sean D (@WonkoSD) August 18, 2020

Please don’t answer, I know the answer
— Sex Luger (@RobBishopSD) August 18, 2020

Trent Grisham rolls over on the first pitch after the pitcher threw five straight balls to the previous hitter, none of which were particularly close. Unbelievable.
— sdsuaztec4 (@sdsuaztec4) August 18, 2020

Acee must be so excited.
— Corey (@CoreyAStewart) August 18, 2020

Craig Stammen cares not for your hot takes.
— William, washing kegs again (@LybargerBrewery) August 18, 2020

So damn close to solo dingers from Manny and Hos.
— Kevin B. (@CornfedFriar) August 18, 2020

wow i didn't even know that patino had a good change
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) August 18, 2020

This is very frustrating to watch
— Tony *fighting for half-breed equality* Losoya (@AnthonyLosoya) August 18, 2020

THROW STRIKES! Good lord is this bullpen frustrating.
— Ryan Phillips (@RumorsandRants) August 18, 2020

this is excruciating
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) August 18, 2020

Pinch hitting here is making a move to make a move.

thank you padres pic.twitter.com/pfGsbTrhm8
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) August 18, 2020

Why don’t they make the whole bullpen out of Pomeranz?
— Make the Padres Great Again (@PadresHotTub) August 18, 2020

I’m down for 3 innings of Pomeranz tbh
— Sean D (@WonkoSD) August 18, 2020

Honestly…. I’d trust Cronenworth more than Pagan at this point to close this.
— chris, wrestling fan (@sportsbrain) August 18, 2020

Truly have no idea what the plan is for the next two innings, or tomorrow, closing these games. Pomeranz is great, but he ain't Goose Gossage.
— Craig Elsten (@619sports) August 18, 2020

Don and Mud openly confused about Tingler’s bullpen management, speaking for all of us.
— Pog Lankford (@poglankford) August 18, 2020

Cronenworth gets the 9th, I guess.
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) August 18, 2020

This better be the beginning of Emilio Pagan redemption szn.
— Kevin B. (@CornfedFriar) August 18, 2020

Shoulda left in Pomeranz just for the generous calls he was getting.
— Sean D (@WonkoSD) August 18, 2020

pic.twitter.com/I9u5xfYs3i
— chris, wrestling fan (@sportsbrain) August 18, 2020

Adrian Morejon left this game after three no hit innings with a 6-0 lead, and it's going to require the entire bullpen getting into this game for the Padres to hold that lead. That is not good!
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) August 18, 2020

That fly ball was somewhat worrisome. I felt like a Dodgers fan.

WHY CANT ANYONE SLIDE ANYMORE
— woods (@thestevenwoods) August 18, 2020

He would have been safe; why the outside slide?

Never thought I'd have an opinion on this but this is the worst sliding team I've ever seen. They all fly by the bag.

That's not only Cal Quantrill's first MLB save, but it's also his first game finished.
