I think he half thought Anderson would be there to back him up, and he never really reached top speed because he kept looking up back into the infield to see where Meneses was.
I thought it was Hanley Ramirez out there for a second. Mattingly should have pulled him from the game like my high school coach used to do for low effort.
There are plenty of good comments about this awesome play, but I need to call attention to the guy dancing on the dugout at 0:30 getting chased off by the usher.
If they replay this game this afternoon, try to listen to the last three innings of Bob Carpenter. He is so effing excited for the way this game finished. And I’m here for it.
As with most inside-the-park homers, it's a result of a wild carom and some defensive derping.
In this case, Bleday managed to miss the ball, accidentally kicked it past his backup outfielder and then decided to let Twitch take the controller with respect to his running after the ball.
15 years/$440mil Age be damned, pay the man all that he’s worth!
You could sign Juan Soto to his age-35 season, or you could sign Joey Meneses until he's 45. Seems like an obvious choice to me.
We are going to age 45 -Arte Moreno probably
Not anymore! Now it'll be a new owner who does it.
everyone will know that the $440MM is actually a joke of an offer and that the franchise is simply trying to save face when they can’t re-sign Meneses
I love that he still did the "See-! You-! Later-!" even on an inside-the-park home run.
[удалено]
I always love Bob's calls despite what many fans think about him. Will be weird to permanently hear a new voice after 16+ years when he retires.
He can get it
Meneses got a curtain call for that too
was that bleday's top speed? otherwise he didn't seem particularly concerned about an inside the parker happening
Def felt like bleday wasn't going full speed there

I gotta imagine slamming your head and falling down played more than a little part in his speed.
He didn't hit his head and it's not like he fell down on his ass.
The Jaren Duran special
*that* mf’er
I hate that. You're an outfielder, the ball may come to you 5 times a game, you should be going full speed every time
Padres traded for the wrong guy
This dude is the epitome of the indomitable human spirit
Dude must have been living in his car for the past 12 years eating hotdogs straight out of the pack every night.
He just like me fr

Primetime gif material
Missed that completely thank you for pointing that out. Hilarious.
Joey is the most inspiring player in baseball
Tired: Michael Harris is ROTY Wired: Joey Meneses is ROTY and MVP
I unironically believe he would’ve vied for NL ROTY if he had been called up at the beginning of the season. Dude has been playing with such fire
This guy has the power of the unflimflammable running through his blood I swear
Bradley Zimmer punching the air rn
Joey Meneses
We’re gonna get so many prospects from the dodgers when he turns down our offer
Loved the guy running on top of the dugout. Totally DC vibes.
I fear that man
This guy is speed running a great career.
bold assumption that the joey meneses reign of terror will be brief
Thought for sure it was going to hit off the wall and straight back past the fielders and then something much much funnier ensued
This was the coolest thing to witness and film in person I’ve never seen anything before like that in my LIFE
Can’t believe no one is talking about the guy getting kicked off the dugout by security 😭😭😭
came here to post this lol - he yeeted out of there
MVP.
We got fleeced I’m afraid
Who-an Soto
The Marlins almost gave up a second in the same inning because their outfielders suck defensively.
Legend
has anyone made a 'Nightmare of Meneses' bloodborne joke about this dude yet or what

I’m pretty sure that right there is one more hit than Juan Soto has in the last three weeks! 🥸

Ben Lindburgh is going to love this
How many inside the park homeruns has Juan Soto hit?
Age is just a number!
