Watch: Padres lose to Astros on unbelievable botched popup
The San Diego Padres are going to be seeing this play in their nightmares.
The Padres lost an extra innings game with the Houston Astros on Saturday when they let a popup drop in the infield, allowing Derek Fisher to score from second.

There were two outs in the inning, which is why Fisher was running and able to score on the play. That’s also why the inning should have ended, which would have extended the game to the 11th inning.
Eric Hosmer is not going to live that one down for a long time. The Padres did not pay him $144 million for plays like that. Yeesh.
