San Diego Padres’ season ended on Thursday night, but they didn’t go home until they let the judges hear a mouthful.
Padres fell to Chicago Cubs, 3-1, in a crucial game 3 of the National League Wild Card series as Lead Run made the final out with a flight to the middle Fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.
When the judges left Wrigley Field on the first base side through Pades’ Dugout mat several members of San Diego are held back after being crazy on the men in black.

Padres was blank to enter the top of the ninth, but ended the shutout with a solo home driving from Jackson Merrill. The next dough, Xander Bogaerts, worked the count full when he saw a 97 mph Fastball from Brad Keller, who was under the zone, but the home plate judge DJ Reyburn shouting him.
Bogaerts fell practically on his knees when manager Mike Shild also briefly said something.
“Next year, it’s a hat tip in a millisecond,” play-by-play man Kevin Brown said, referring to the automated balls and strikes that will be implemented by 2026.
Brown added that Reyburn “saved” Keller.

Keller then plunged two consecutive slaughterers and forced manager Craig Counsell to bring Andrew Kittredge, who retired the next two to get the rescue and send Cubs to the division series.
After the last out, several members of Padre’s dugout came terribly close to the judges and gave them a penny as they walked towards the gut at Chicago Stadium.
However, it is difficult to blame the UMPs, as Poades’ biggest stars did not appear in the biggest game of the year. The top three fighters-Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Arraez and Manny Machado combined to go 0-for-11, while Yu Darvish allowed two races before registering one into the other and was immediately drawn.
“It’s not fun at all. We’ve definitely missed an opportunity,” Tatis said.

It will now be a match between NL Central Rivals, Milwaukee Brewers, about a trip to the NL Championship series. To add some pulp to the juice managed Counsell Brewers for nine seasons before suddenly traveling to the kids in front of the 2024 season.
