Rockies call of Padres walk-off grand slam will leave you questioning the meaning of life
Awful Announcing • • sports
Key Points:
- The Colorado Rockies have struggled significantly, failing to have a winning season since 2018 and losing at least 100 games in each of the last three seasons, including a 43-119 record in 2025 that tied for the third-most losses in modern MLB history.
- During a game in San Diego, Rockies announcer Drew Goodman delivered a notably deadpan call as Xander Bogaerts hit a walk-off grand slam, contrasting sharply with the enthusiastic reaction from Padres announcer Don Orsillo.
- Goodman’s call highlighted the ongoing frustration of Rockies fans, especially since he had just praised pitcher Valente Bellozo before the grand slam, only for the situation to end in disappointment.
- Despite the loss, the Rockies had recently shown some promise with a four-game winning streak, but their overall performance left fans and announcers feeling all too familiar with defeat.
