📬⚾ Newman Recaps NLCS Game 4
from gloomy, rain-interrupted chaos at LoanDepot Park
“Well well well… if it isn’t the sweet sound of postseason misery.” 😏
Game 4 of the
National League Championship Series
turned into a nine-inning nightmare for the poor, unsuspecting
Miami Marlins — and who should deliver the torment?
Why… the increasingly sinister
San Diego Padres.
After dropping the opener of the series, San Diego has now rattled off three straight victories… and stands just one win away from its first trip to the World Series since 1920. Ohhh, the delicious inevitability of it all! 😈
☔ The Third-Inning Avalanche
You could feel it building.
The tension… the humidity… the creeping dread.
Then suddenly — like a sack of undelivered mail collapsing on a front porch — the Padres unleashed a five-run third inning.
Singles. Walks. Doubles. Panic.
The Marlins watched helplessly as the scoreboard spun out of control.
And at the center of the storm?
George Setton.
Four hits. Not three… FOUR.
A relentless, methodical dismantling of Miami pitching.
He didn’t just beat them — he cataloged their defeat. 📑
📦 A Relentless Delivery of Doom
San Diego wasn’t finished.
In the sixth inning they struck again — triples, stolen bases, another crushing extra-base hit from Setton.
It was like watching a postal route that never ends…
Every inning another unpleasant surprise waiting in the box.
By the time the rain delay mercifully paused the carnage, the outcome felt pre-stamped and certified.
Final score: Padres 9… Marlins 1.
A late Miami run only served as a footnote — a polite knock on the door of a house already abandoned.
😬 Now the Series Turns
The Padres now lead three games to one.
Momentum? Oh yes… momentum is their constant companion.
Miami, meanwhile, must win three straight just to survive.
A daunting assignment… like sorting ten thousand letters with no coffee and a broken sorting machine.
Game 5 looms tomorrow in this same ballpark.
And somewhere… Newman is smiling.
Because nothing warms the heart quite like October despair. 📬😏
