Padres offseason moves: - This was Milton Bradley only season with the Padres, as he will sign with the Rangers in the offseason. - This was Mike Cameron final season with the Padres, as he will sign with the Brewers in the offseason. - This was Marcus Giles final MLB season, as he has retired
Jake Peavy and Trevor Hoffman, sadly, always breaking the Padres fans heart in important games. And had Peavy won this game 163, it would have been his 20th win of the 2007 season. Peavy still won the NL Cy Young in 2007, but geesh, this game 163 left a sour note on his season.
BRUTAL COLLAPSE FOR THE PADRES during their last final 3 games (Games 161 and 162 at the Brewers, Game 163 at the Rockies). What a brutal 3 games, the way they lost each game. OUCH And what a brutal overall collapse it was for the Padres in the NL Wild Card race, as the Padres were 5 games up on the Rockies, with the Padres having 10 games left in the regular season. But again, its those final 3 games: Game 161 at the Brewers = Padres had a one run lead with three outs to go in the bottom of the 9th inning to make the postseason, and then Hoffman blew it in the 9th, and then the Padres lost in extra inning. And the Brewers were probably not caring about playing spoilers and on vacation mode already entering the bottom of the 9th inning. Game 162 at the Brewers = Padres had a 3 run lead after 3 innings against the Brewers, who were probably on vacation mode at this point and not thinking about a comeback, and then the Padres still lost it. Game 163 at the Rockies = Padres had a 2 run lead heading into the bottom of the 13th inning with 3 outs to go to make the postseason, and then Hoffman blows it again, like he did on game 161. If you thought the Mets 2007 collapse was horrendous when they lost 12 of their last 17 games, mainly when they went 1-6 in the final week of the season all home games in Shea Stadium and were 1-9 in their last 10 home games overall to end the season, then the Padres 2007 collapse was just as horrendous and painful in those final 3 games of the season with three heartbreaking losses on the road, and two of those losses were in extra innings walk off fashion in games that they were 3 outs away from making the postseason (161 and 163). Padres also went 1-6 in 7 games played against the Rockies in September and Game 163
They were a strike away from clinching on Saturday, and 3 outs away from clinching on Monday. A 2 game lead with 2 games to go. It's hard to miss the playoffs in those situations. That's what I loved about that playoff format. Nowadays, the Padres and Mets would be playing in wild card series, and most people would have forgotten about their collapses since they still would have qualified for the playoffs.
Quick trivia question-anyone remember the winning pitcher for the Rockies in this game? RAMON ORTIZ! Colorado had some wild transactions and roster moves this year......Byung-hyun Kim actually began the year with them as a reliever (had been there since 2005 and been a starter on and off too) and was traded in May to Florida for Jorge Julio. STEVE FINLEY was with them but got released in June. Mark Redman (the pitcher) signed in August and actually won game 161 to keep their wildcard hopes alive after Hoffman blew the save against Tony Gwynn's kid. But also in August the Rockies sent a minor leaguer to the Twins for Ortiz. He was mostly a reliever for them and used sparingly. Anyway, Colorado was basically out of arms by the 13th, and Julio imploded. Walked Giles on five pitches and served up a meatball to Hairston. Not long after he gave up a single to Chase Headley and was yanked with Adrian Gonzalez coming up. It gets easily forgotten now but the Padres EASILY could have piled on and added to that 8-6 lead with the meat of their order coming up against Ortiz whose career was circling the drain and with the ballpark and Rox deflated. Instead Ortiz struck out Gonzalez on a full count (!), got Khalil Greene to fly out deep to left, and got Morgan Ensberg to pop up to short. Nobody remembers that he got the win but he was absolutely an unsung hero in that game. Another of the many reasons baseball is funny and weird and wild.....you never know when crazy little things like this end up helping fueling something like Rocktober. As a Rockies fan (yes we exist) been looking forward to seeing these games. 2007 seems like a dream especially now. Coors Field is electric and Denver is such a good baseball town when the Rockies actually have a good team and are in playoff contention. The ownership is just such a clown show that its never sustained beyond but a year or two every decade. Someday they'll sell or croak.....
Rockies consistently sport great attendance numbers, it's silly to be like "I'm a Rockies fan, yes we exist" because you're not a small market team and attendance is more than good. The team not being run well and losing hasn't kept Colorado from having good attendance and viewarship numbers.
@@somerandomguy5977 the attendance now is largely a product of: -visiting teams fans taking over. Especially considering Denver has always had a bit of transitory population and people had different allegiances before Denver had a team -a lot of the people going now beyond that are just doing it socially. The ownership group can’t run a baseball team but they run an entertaining party park. Coors Field is a great summer destination, the rooftop bar is always a party, there’s breweries and most probably aren’t even paying attention to the Rockies much less hardcore fans. That’s part of the problem….if the Rockies had more of hardcore fanbase they probably WOULD stop showing up and attendance would dip enough that ownership would notice. But as long as the park is relatively full, and Monfort owns a lot of the real estate/business around Coors too, he’s making money and doesn’t give a crap. And yes Denver is still a small market. They’ll never have the kind of media rights or TV deal that LA or NY or a top ten media market city could get. Their best hope to overcome that is an owner with deep pockets willing to spend (Kroenke for the Nuggets/Avs, Bowlen and now the WalMart guy for the Broncos). The Rockies ended up with the worst possible draw
Honestly the moment that really led to Rocktober was Helton's walkoff during a doubleheader with the Dodgers a few weeks earlier. They lose that game none of the hot streak occurs. That was the catalyst.
0:04 Adrian Gonzalez doing his best to get the Padres back in the game with that grand slam. 1:34 Scott Hairston with the forgotten extra inning go ahead home run for the Padres.
Rockies make the postseason for just the second time in franchise history (1995); both as wild card teams. Rockies are now 14-1 in their last 15 games Rockies were a very elite home team in 2007, winning 50 games. But now they gotta go on the road in the postseason without homefield in any round. Surprisingly, they are 6-0 on the road so far during this 14-1 run.
What's crazy is both their playoff appearances came down to the wire. In '95, they clinched the Wild Card on the final day of the regular season. In '07, they had to go to Game 163 to clinch a playoff spot.
STILL waiting for the that first NL West title LOL. Three postseason appearances since.....all Wildcards. What's funnier is that the other three since haven't been as dramatic and two of the teams have actually been better. Two years later they had a better and more consistent 92 win team that had a winning record on the road, played Philly again in the Wildcard series, lost a terrific and close 3-1 series though. Ten years later they'd field back to back playoff teams that each had winning road records. In 2018 they actually tied for the NL West lead and lost a one game playoff to the Dodgers. Lost the Wildcard game in 2017, won it in 18 and were swept. Of course their manager those two years? Honestly the 2009 and 2018 Rockies teams were far better than the 2007 team yet only two postseason wins since (really only one if you don't count the 2018 wild card game). It's all about matchups or getting hot at the right time. Oh and the Rox manager in 2017 and 18? The 07 Padres manager, Bud Black. Baseball is weird.
@@ZJBorg definitely. 2018 was a good one, I don't know if you can quite count 2017 since you guys (I'm assuming you're a Rockies fan from the way you speak) didn't make it past the Wild Card game. It's interesting that the 2 1993 expansion teams are the only MLB teams yet to win a division.
@@EvanEscher the 2017 team kind of petered out toward the end of the season but they’d built up enough momentum in the front half to hang on to the last wildcard (they were actually the first team in 2017 to reach 40 wins). Overall I don’t think they were better than the 07 team but they did have a better road record (winning one too). The funny thing about the 07/09 Rockies teams is they got off to terrible starts. Each of them were 18-27 in late May. In 07 they started playing better ball after that, heated up a bit with around the time they swept the Yankees and took two of three in Boston, but kept hovering around .500 until they got ungodly hot at the end. In 09 they kept slumping, fell like 10 or 13 under .500 in June and fired Clint Hurdle. They then promoted Jim Tracy and won something like 24 of 26 and were basically a .650 team the rest of the way It is wild too that neither the Rox or Fish have won a division despite both having gone to World Series (and the Marlins having one 2 no less). Frankly don’t see either of them winning one any time soon. Both of their ownership situations are terrible and they have to deal with major market teams who are bigger spenders and better organizations in their division. .
Besides the two listed above, Rivera blew the series clinching game 4 in the 1997 ALDS vs. Cleveland. Three key postseason blown saves that cost the Yankees the series each time.
Padres played in 21 consecutive games in 21 consecutive days to close out their 2007 season, including this game 163 They could have really used a day-off
