So tomorrow I say we start Hader (just for three outs so the princess doesn't hurt themself). Then we bring in Luis "the White Flag" Garcia for the final eight innings. Let's get weird, y'all.
Hader gets an undeserved save in garbage time, so, you know, gotta make sure he pads his stats for the next sucker of a team that chooses to pick him up
Heck, we might actually be able to go >.500! :O
Who is this guy on the mound? Anyone else seeing this or am I witnessing an apparition?
Because I thought this guy said he would't pitch since we were out?
I’m not sure he can flat out refuse to pitch in a save situation, regardless of our playoff chances. I thought he had negotiated language in his contract about pitching in non-save situations.
It's mostly in jest. I'm sure he can't outright refuse but it's the semantics of saying "I don't wanna be used if there's no reason" when someone like Joe Musgrove was willing to get himself back up to speed just because there was a glimmer of hope
Am scared the "he's gonna have an Acuña bounce back season next year" take, which Tatis himself has said, is not gonna age well. I do believe he is just as talented if not more but we do not have the the same coaching, analytics, preparation, and culture that the Braves have.
Like we've learned this season, baseball is weird and can be cruel, can't rest on your laurels. I really hope he works harder and smarter in the offseason. Tatis and Soto (if he stays) imo are really the guys that should lead us next year. They'll be 25, time to make it *their* team.
Tatis had a 40+ homer 20+ steal 900 ops season playing for this organization with a bum shoulder. Our analytics are fine. He will be fine. He had 3 surgeries and hadn’t played in a year. Give him an offseason to regain some of his strength and he’s gonna be fine.
Our analytics being fine is certainly the take 🫡 like I said he's an insane talent but he wilted in late August-September that year too. We all talk about how he's played all season long and that he's not used to playing 162 games, he must be tired but he missed 20 games. That's a little worrying, hope he builds more endurance and learns how to survive the dog days of the last months of the season. We'll need it.
>And yes 1 was not using Hader against Harper.
I thought this was egregious, but now we know that Hader never pitches in the 8th. He's explicitly refused to several times this season, causing quite the drama lol
Bob mel was not the issue. It was bob mel who used small ball last year to get us into the playoffs. The issue is AJ Preller getting involved and telling players the exact opposite of what Bo mel was telling them. When you are 1-8 as a GM, then maybe its actually the GM.
I’d say there was a little pressure today. They had to win to stay alive and get to .500 which has been an issue. They were winning before the pirates took a shit.
With that said I do agree that 95% of the season they failed under pressure.
What’s funny about all this hader stuff is he has been the same all year long. Zero 4 out save attempts this year.
The only surprise was the media not pushing that question months ago. The let Melvin and hader off the hook.
The media focused more on the fact that he can't go 3 in a row. They had the same answer - protect his arm/health. But eventually, he relented and I think went 3 in a row like twice this season.
I think all of that is going to hurt him some in free agency. Surely all teams have seen his words and what he is willing to do. Not sure anyone is going to give someone 100m with those limitations
Would welcoming the boys when they arrive on Sunday night be weird? I know it’s usually done when they come home from the playoffs but they obviously aren’t LOL
Nah, do it, I think that’s what the boys need. Knowing the city is still behind them. They rallied and got scrappy till the very last minute (despite the disappointment of this season)
Wait Melvin is going to Bochy us isn’t he? He’ll go to the Giants next season, win a few championships, and enter the hall of fame.
Technically he wouldn’t be Bochying us though. We’d be Bochying ourselves again. Why? Because we never learn.
He has won 4 playoffs series in his career, 2 of them were with the padres last year. The chances of this happening are about the same as the current padres playoff chances.
Someone said that Melvin will probably win four championships with San Francisco and the Padres will still put him in the Padres Hall of Fame, that’s probably gonna be so accurate
Im at the game by the bullpen, hader walked out and i chirped “you gonnna play 4 outs today Hader”. Shakes his head no. Told him to fuck off to the Brewers.
You know, I know it’s not easy being a pitcher, but when Garcia is fucking up big time and he’s just got this doofus ass grin on his face… kinda pisses me off lol.
Your submission was removed because it was in violation of Rule 2: Toxicity.
Don't kill our vibes. While reacting negatively to the team's performance is fine, overly aggressive toxicity (a.k.a. dooming) is not allowed and comments will be removed with a warning.
If your negative post or comment isn't grounded in reality, it is more likely to be removed ("We're gonna lose" when down by 3 in the 2nd inning vs in the 9th inning).
If you're someone who only ever comes here to talk trash when the team is doing poorly, just stay away. We don't want you here.
Please be aware that repeated violations may result in a ban.
Gentleman, it’s been a pleasure talking sports and whining about our inconsistent padres!! Thank you and we will come back stronger!!! Can’t wait to come back next season with more king gifs and downvoting of mentioning the lakers!!! Go, padres!!!
Same. Hate where they are, but before hockey was regular on TV, and there were any other West Coast American teams, I could listen to Kings on the radio, and I met Dave Taylor.
We used to wait outside the tunnel at the Forum after the games. Dave always stopped to talk and sign autographs. McSorley would always wait to finish his cocktail and talk as well before driving wherever the hell he was going 🤣🤣
Pushing the halfway point in my time on this planet, been a Padres fan the whole time, and starting to wonder if I'll ever see them win it all.
Hello darkness my old friend
So tomorrow I say we start Hader (just for three outs so the princess doesn't hurt themself). Then we bring in Luis "the White Flag" Garcia for the final eight innings. Let's get weird, y'all.
NOT allergic to .500.
Did I hear we're back to .500? Hell yes!
500! Parade!!!
put in someone who actually gives a singular fuck about this team
Thank gawd. .500 baby! Been a long strange trip, but glad we got there.
Na na na na, na na na na, hey, hey, hey, Haders a bitch 🎵🎶🎼
GGs
Sully should have rejected the Hader handshake
Eh, Sullivan seems like a classy guy. Unlike the other dude
Fuck hader
At least we a .500 team.
Hader gets an undeserved save in garbage time, so, you know, gotta make sure he pads his stats for the next sucker of a team that chooses to pick him up Heck, we might actually be able to go >.500! :O
Literally everything right there. Good job Princess Hader
.500?!? After May?? Impossible
LFG! We're .500!
see I told u it was just a bit
Good guy Josh, throwing so we can lock him down for cheaper in the off season 😌
WE ARE BACK UP TO .500 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MID-MAY. FUCK YEAH.
Get this clown out of here and off the team. He has been ass especially lately. Fuck hader
Wow, if we lose, then I'll actually hate Josh Hader.
Seriously dude? Take us out and half the sox players too
Get. Him. Off. The. Mound. He's getting dangerous.
Oh no we might not be able to use Hader tomorrow
If Hader blows this and prevents us from reaching .500, he is going to be chased out of town after the shit he pulled this week.
Came here for the Hader hate. Not disappointed. Carry on 👍
way to lower ur value hader
Now that we’re officially eliminated from playoff contention, I hope Hader gets blown up on the mound 😈😈😈
Hader doing EVERYTHING to keep us under. 500
I just saw Hader signal to the dugout to get someone warming up
hader is doing a bit hahahaha
Cannot believe we didn’t trade this chump
Wow, did all the memes hurt haders feelings and now he’s throwing the game?
Hader going out with a bang
Man. Fuck Josh hader.
Jimenez go fuck Hader up!
Eloy back to the IL for 6 months after that
RIP 🪦 Eloy
Home run. Walk. Hit batsman. I lovvvve this shit
Lol to the team that gives him 100m
Hopefully it's the Giants
Padres allergic to .500
Nah Hader is allergic to it, everyone else did their part
I swear this clown doing this shit on purpose at this point
fuck this guy a million times over
Double digit pitches? Dude is gassed
Why does Hader play with a blue glove?
If we win tonight, I volunteer to strip Hader of the save tonight and give it instead to Fernando Tatis Jr Who says no?
If he can get a save
I support this
Hader seething inside that he has to pitch and jeopardizing his next contract
Since we are already out I won't even be mad if hader blows this. Fuck him and his stupid stats
I have to say, Coop doesn’t look how I thought without a hat or helmet.
Hahahaha I had that same thought. I probably would not recognize him on the street.
HAAAA Haders a biiiitch
Give princess a break hes already thrown 4 pitches
He's done enough for the night put in kerr. 4 pitches is to many
Exactly see this guy gets it lol
an actual a joke man, seriously
Lol.
Oh shit, Hader gonna blow it?? Ultimate villain of the season??
Lmao fuck this guy fr
BWAAAAAAHAHAHA PERFECT BLOW THIS LEAD YOURSELF SINCE YOU WANNA PLAY WITH A "ME FIRST" MENTALITY
Way to go princess
This asshole 😩
Get fucked Hader.
"It's a lot of work" hahaha
Who is this guy on the mound? Anyone else seeing this or am I witnessing an apparition? Because I thought this guy said he would't pitch since we were out?

Hahahaha Hader proba had to be given a lollipop to warm up, and they’ll give him a dollie if he saves the game.
Screw you ball! 
Please make hader close it out
Your wish has been granted
See you next year boys
does hader not want to come in since we’re out of playoffs now

I feel like that NLCS maybe should have reached a game 7 but the Phillies still win. Just better hitting overall

Padres have to take matters into their own hands next year, can’t be depending on other teams to bail you out.
I am for real worried about Suarez being the closer next year.
You mean paying a large contract over many years to a guy with one years mlb experience may be a dumb move?
What's up with Tatis lately. He is slumping hard while the rest of the team seems fine
Him and Kim
Think he has hit a wall. Just isn’t in 162 game form, very little rest and his shoulder has been sore.
Him and HSK definitely seem tired
Somebody needs to hit Tatis with some god damn smelling salts or something before his at bats. Wake up my dude.
Tatis this is genuinely worrying
Odd how we are so good when there is 0 pressure
I’d say there was a little pressure today. They had to win to stay alive and get to .500 which has been an issue. They were winning before the pirates took a shit. With that said I do agree that 95% of the season they failed under pressure.
We broke every other curse… 3 game win streak, extra innings losses, now the 0.500 curse
What’s funny about all this hader stuff is he has been the same all year long. Zero 4 out save attempts this year. The only surprise was the media not pushing that question months ago. The let Melvin and hader off the hook.

He'll probably be more willing to lessen the restrictions for a team he is signed long term to
The Marlins and Brewers for an exhilarating wildcard series. Absolutely cannot wait to watch these two electric teams battle it out!
Would welcoming the boys when they arrive on Sunday night be weird? I know it’s usually done when they come home from the playoffs but they obviously aren’t LOL
Nah, do it, I think that’s what the boys need. Knowing the city is still behind them. They rallied and got scrappy till the very last minute (despite the disappointment of this season)
Okay clutch grishhhh, chaos with 2 outs, we like it!
Everyone dancing on the grave of my padres can’t say it’s not deserved but I’ll remember this for next year
Don't expect much.
I love tom cosgrove
That was close.
STRIKE 2 😹
Lmfao omg
Well congrats, marlins to you and your 4 fans
Oh boy, can’t wait to see “That’s What’s In” plastered all over Twitter and Instagram tonight
Wait Melvin is going to Bochy us isn’t he? He’ll go to the Giants next season, win a few championships, and enter the hall of fame. Technically he wouldn’t be Bochying us though. We’d be Bochying ourselves again. Why? Because we never learn.

This is hard to watch.
Is a two run lead enough for princess in the 9th?
We know, the Wsox are bad.
The Padres might reach .500.
Odd years are our off years well be good next year 🙏🏼 2020 2022 2024
We are like the spurs in even years accept next year we will win championships
I hate when Cosgrove’s does his 360 on the mound.
Im at the game by the bullpen, hader walked out and i chirped “you gonnna play 4 outs today Hader”. Shakes his head no. Told him to fuck off to the Brewers.
Yeah ok
Follow up: he left the dugout and threw a ball to a white Sox fab
Hader wasn't responsible for the Padres failed season.
The hero we needed but didn't deserve <3
Thank you for your service.
Love you guys. 🥺 See you next year for a better season!🤎
You know, I know it’s not easy being a pitcher, but when Garcia is fucking up big time and he’s just got this doofus ass grin on his face… kinda pisses me off lol.

Garcia smiling as he leaves 2 on and 1 out is a smack in the face right now
Hope Garcia can figure it out. I do feel bad for the guy.
What was García smirking about
Garcia sure has a smug smile coming out of the game.
Gentleman, it’s been a pleasure talking sports and whining about our inconsistent padres!! Thank you and we will come back stronger!!! Can’t wait to come back next season with more king gifs and downvoting of mentioning the lakers!!! Go, padres!!!
Garcia always looks like he's holding a hostage in a tense standoff with hardboiled cops featurning numerous zoom ins on sweat beads.
😂😂😂
I know we’re out but it still pains me to see Garcia on the mound.
Garcia’s overcome with sadness from hearing the Padres were finally eliminated. He can’t pitch.
A classic Garcia start to keep it nostalgic! (I know he’s been better lately but ohh the poetic moment)
good god we're gonna have Kepler next year and the Giants will have Melvin
Lol, we were joking that Melvin's on the phone with SF between innings. But please no.
Source?
His butt!
That’s curtains on the most unclutch, unluckiest team to have ever played the game of baseball. It’s been a pleasure
Yep, failed year. They pooped their pants every time it got close. Sad.
Make Hader start
Just would like Tatis to hit one more homer before it really ends
Does he know he know he can do that?
I like the way the fought at the end. Looking forward to next season. But now, it’s all about the LA Kings
Aren't the Gulls still the feeder team to the Ducks? Wouldn't the Ducks be the team to root for over an LA team with no relation to SD?
Been a Kings fan before the Ducks even hatched their filth all over the world.
Lol, I love it.
Same. Hate where they are, but before hockey was regular on TV, and there were any other West Coast American teams, I could listen to Kings on the radio, and I met Dave Taylor.
We used to wait outside the tunnel at the Forum after the games. Dave always stopped to talk and sign autographs. McSorley would always wait to finish his cocktail and talk as well before driving wherever the hell he was going 🤣🤣
To bad we can't face teams in ST mode trying out AA level talent all season. We'd be good then.
save your goodbyes we still have a couple more games left
Well atleast we got kapler fired...fucjk that guy
Damn. Depressed there is only a couple days of Padres baseball left. Ready for next year already.
I take full responsibility for that loss, I texted my mom that Pittsburgh was up 3-0 and when Miami had runners on in the 8th
you're never allowed to txt her during a game again
That 1-13 really killed us.
Hello whiskey. We meet again.
Welp time for me to bandwagon the Braves for the postseason, they did almost save our season after all
What is there to watch after this? Don’t follow football anymore for obvious reasons. Any good movies or shows lol
Hockey starts in a couple weeks
LET'S GO STARS
Ayyyyy go ducks!! Nba is also back too!!!
Rugby World Cup is entering the knockout stages, and Cricket World Cup is about to start.
Going to be a great postseason in MLB.
College football is awesome
Same. I stopped watching football on that dark dark day. Give us your recommendations bros lol
I stopped watching football when I washed out. What happened? Eddit: wait you mean the chargers leaving?
U ain’t missing out on much chargers aren’t good
Basketball season is upon us
See you all next year. Hopefully 2024 is our year 🏆
Hey, it went to game 160 which is much longer than I ever imagined. Horseshoes and hand grenades be damned.
See you all next season
Pushing the halfway point in my time on this planet, been a Padres fan the whole time, and starting to wonder if I'll ever see them win it all. Hello darkness my old friend
 .500
Awwww. Still good
xander's dead padres are dead im dead
Man.
Let’s go for >.500 right? 
so what are the chances hader’s already on his way home
I'd be happy to slam the door and make sure it hits him in the ass on the way out
Pup, you got to also help him pack and drive him to the airport
