The Hangover 2019 – Games 97-99

July 19-21, 2019

Sometimes things can get a little fuzzy after a couple of days of partying with fellow Padres fans in the Gaslamp. The occasional memory refresher can come in handy. Here’s a friendly reminder of what we may have missed while we were drinking.

This is The Hangover.

Booing him only makes him stronger. One day, you’ll learn this.

Lester was really hoping that his catcher could get out and make the play on that ball. Soooo weird.
— AJM (@AvengingJM) July 19, 2019

Hedges could have done that.

yes but he's also playing shitty defense
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) July 19, 2019

at least he has a strong connection with the fans
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) July 19, 2019

I spent my lunch break watching the Padres score a run, and ate an entire box of orange chicken. One of the two may have been a bad idea…..

Saw that grand slam coming 3 miles away.

Sometimes you just have to reach back, summon the courage, and challenge a prolific power hitter with a 92-MPH fastball right down the middle of the plate. pic.twitter.com/07YbzJYBYz

Toss Kinsler. ??
— AJM (@AvengingJM) July 19, 2019

Kinsler’s such a baby.
— Pog Lankford (@poglankford) July 19, 2019

LMAO! That was incredible.

Did they just let Bebo walk to second?

He was heading back to 1st.
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) July 19, 2019

Margot is scared of the padded wall at Petco and runs into the brick at Wrigley. Sure. Why not?

Real talk, I've never sweated like this during a broadcast before.
— jesse agler (@jesseagler) July 19, 2019

HAHAHAHHAA I think Mejía was surprised he hit that.
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) July 19, 2019

How the fuck did he hit that ball THAT FAR??!?
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) July 19, 2019

lauer might be a decent long reliever in 2020
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) July 19, 2019

Oh look, a double switch in the fifth.
— Pog Lankford (@poglankford) July 19, 2019

Look at Greg already making things happen

How are all these dudes out there in pants and compression sleeves and multiple layers of shirts running around and not like dead on the ground? JFC.
— kelly (IN CHICAGO WITH NEWLY FREED URÍAS) (@kellyawallace) July 19, 2019

Is this in response to his recent comments about the Cashner-Rizzo trade, or…?

I’ve never doubted Naylor

Greg “The Muthafuckin’ King of East County” Garcia just drew his 24th walk of the season in 187 AB’s.

kinsler has 18 in 251 AB’s
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) July 19, 2019

Tatis is still really struggling on this road trip
— Ryan Phillips (@RumorsandRants) July 19, 2019

Greg is infinitely better than Kinsler
— Tony "just follow @losoyart instead" Losoya (@TonyLosoya89) July 19, 2019

Stammen vs the heart of the order on homer day, huh? A choice has been made.
— kelly (IN CHICAGO WITH NEWLY FREED URÍAS) (@kellyawallace) July 19, 2019

What’s with Hos’s defense lately? He’s never been elite but he’s booting some really routine plays.
— kelly (IN CHICAGO WITH NEWLY FREED URÍAS) (@kellyawallace) July 19, 2019

Tatis…what is happening with you on this road trip?
— Tony "just follow @losoyart instead" Losoya (@TonyLosoya89) July 19, 2019

Did some alien invade Tatis' body this week? It's like he forgot how to throw.
— Jay Posner (@sdutPosner) July 19, 2019

Another Tatis error
— woods (@thestevenwoods) July 19, 2019

Who broke Tatis?

SCOOPS MCGEE DOES IT AGAIN
— HJ Preller (@HJPreller) July 19, 2019

Ummmmm, was that the second time in this game alone Margot forgot how many outs there were?

The answer is yes.
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) July 19, 2019

Well, you know what they say: you can't afford to make eighteen mistakes against a good team.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) July 19, 2019

Making two errors in the same inning of a tie game against the Cubs is a bad idea. #analysis pic.twitter.com/83G5hcL95r
— Marcus (@marcusSDTX) July 19, 2019

padres defense on this road trip has been straight cheeks
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) July 19, 2019

I'm not watching the Padres game but I feel like I've seen this one before.
— John Gennaro (@johnmgennaro) July 19, 2019

As a lesbian, I am not surprised that once again, I have been let down by the D!!!!!
