Baseball can often be a strange game with strange moments, and this might be one of the strangest.
The Padres won on the 20th walk-off balk in MLB history


You rarely see this kind of ending: https://t.co/KRiZ0z5f6Y #Balkoffhttps://t.co/Ix3YzyVuOq

This is such a terrible way to lose, made even worse that Santiago Casilla clearly wasn’t trying to deceive the runner. It almost seems like he just forgot what he was supposed to be doing for a second. Like, he let his mind wander to whether or not there were any Pokemon around him and completely froze up. He also may have just slipped. Regardless, heartbreaking for the Giants and especially for Santiago Casilla.
Funny for us though.
Amazingly, this isn’t even close to the first time this has happened.
