Giants' Heliot Ramos faces ridicule over bizarre throw vs Padres


Kyle Schwarber led the NL over the AL in the 2025 MLB All-Star game with 3 HRs. Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes, and Danny Parkins ask if the MLB should implement swing-offs in the regular season.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos made a mind-boggling error during the team’s 11-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday afternoon.

Padres third baseman Manny Machado roped a ball to left field in the second inning. The ball bounced off the wall, and Ramos fielded it, looking to throw it back into the infield to prevent a runner on first base from advancing to third. Instead, the ball appeared to slip out of his hands and trickle back toward the infielders.

Fernando Tatis Jr. came around to score to add to the lead. San Diego would break the game open even further later and complete the series sweep.

Baseball fans were perplexed.

Giants manager Bob Melvin claimed after the game that it wasn't Ramos' fault. He said Ramos was going to throw the ball to second base but saw nobody was there, and the ball came out of his hand.

While the Giants have struggled this season, Ramos’ issues have been highlighted consistently.

He suffered what he called a "mental error" on the base paths in a loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates back in July, when he was caught trailing off second base during an infield fly pop-up.
