d-backs/padres ending

Look at this way, the Padres folded early this year and got it over with.

Think 2007 & 2010.

Yes, those years they didn't realize how crappy they were until near the end of the season.

I don't get what's so complicated about this.

When a runner is forced to advance, he must complete his advance. So, batted ball, uncaught third strike -- R1 and R2 (as well as the BR and R3) must advance or they are liable to be forced out. BB, HBP -- only the BR and R3 must advance.
