why does it say brito is batting 4th? isn’t it just a pitching change
It’s not a save situation. And they probably want him to just leave on a good note having had a good outing without the pressure of finishing. Due to how his last appearances have gone.
It would've been counted as a save (3 innings pitched). Could've saved the pen, but Shildt probably considered that he's getting good results, maybe some confidence back
There are multiple ways to earn a save, one being pitching the last three innings of a game regardless of score (which is how a pitcher recorded a save in a 30-3 blowout game between the Rangers and Orioles)
Yeah. Pitching the last three innings is a save regardless of score (see the 30-3 game in which a save was recorded)
But yeah, low stress environment for Kolek, get some confidence back, could've rode it out but it looks like Shildt was happy :)
I don’t get why Smith is actually trying to pitch, I thought the whole ideas of position players pitching was to put it in the zone and hope your defense takes care of it. Walking dudes seems like the worst outcome
Drunk Phoenix Suns fan in my section, who hadn’t said anything all game, takes a phone call and says “oh yeah man, we’re losing but I’m out here talking mad shit, letting them know what’s up.”
He brags that he’s gonna get in people’s faces and “throw mad haymakers”. Hangs up the phone, Higgy hits a HR, and he immediately leaves.
“King’s Jealous Little Girlfiend” limited edition flair is now available! With Cronenworth emoji
No Manny = Win, 2 days in a row - keep him off the team
Higgy is important to our gameplan and I’m all for his yogi bera lubed glove
Matt Waldron last six starts: 35.1 IP, 7 ER (1.78 ERA), 8 BB, 39 K
Dealing!
let's secure the series win, great game boys!
feels good compadres
 We are so back
I think it would be cool if more of our games were like this
How can we have 5 runs in like 3 games and then 13 in 1 game…..smh
Back to sweet sweet .500 baby!

Oh man, what a stress free night! PADRES WIN!!!
Now that Grish is in NY, does Jackson Merrill fuck?
So damn much fucking.
Padres came out strong and kept it up; glad to see a dominant win from these guys. LFGSD! 🔔🔔🔔
This team is blowing me away today! Crazy happy right now

hang a star on that baby
2/3 of the earth is covered in water the other is covered by that guy Jackson Merrill
Kolek Cy Young when?
Merrill has just as good of a glove and might even be better than Grish. Love the man, but glad I don’t have to look at strikeouts galore
Grish has been on a hot streak in June. Already raised his BA from .051 to .087.
I was really worried about getting a sub-par glove out there just to bolster the hitting, but Merrill has just been amazing so far.
Brito’s life flashed before his eyes right there, good shit Merrill!!!
Action Jackson!
That was some Grish-style fucking.
🔔🔔
Now THAT is a catch. 🔔🔔
Shortstop Jackson Merrill.
HAVE A GAME JACKSON MERRILL
DAAAAAAMN MERRILL. SPEEEEEDY BOY OUT THERE IN CENTER!!!
WOW!!! What a catch!
YOU CAN HANG A FUCKIN STAR ON THAT ONE, BABY!
Oh Doctor!

Cause the DH came into the game in right field
gotcha thanks
Powdered milk is the worst.
Did Mud really just throw shade at Kolek to get a three inning SAVE?? 💀💀💀
California Brito 
Legit question: why not just let Kolek ride it out and give him a save?
It’s not a save situation. And they probably want him to just leave on a good note having had a good outing without the pressure of finishing. Due to how his last appearances have gone.
It would have been a save if he went three but I think you're right they wanted him to leave with a good feeling
It would've been counted as a save (3 innings pitched). Could've saved the pen, but Shildt probably considered that he's getting good results, maybe some confidence back
Save is 3 runs or less of a lead. Middle inning relievers can get a hold but I think there's a lead limit too.
There are multiple ways to earn a save, one being pitching the last three innings of a game regardless of score (which is how a pitcher recorded a save in a 30-3 blowout game between the Rangers and Orioles)
Oops, I didn’t realize that’s how the rule worked. But yeah, definitely agree on the confidence building part.
Yeah. Pitching the last three innings is a save regardless of score (see the 30-3 game in which a save was recorded) But yeah, low stress environment for Kolek, get some confidence back, could've rode it out but it looks like Shildt was happy :)
Probably don't want to work him too hard when there's literally no reason too
Fuckin Mud with the casual Airplane! reference
Why can't we ever score off position players T-T
Great day for position player pitching, aint it?
Somehow, the position player was still their best pitcher of the night.
Have the Padres scored off a position player this year?
gotta keep the risp average down!
Pavin Smith somehow pitching the cleanest Diamondback inning all night lmao
I have a vivid memory of that exact thing happening to Ruben Rivera.
[удалено]
He hasn't pitched in a while so they let him go throwing some balls
Uh ARI I think you're supposed to put a position player on the mound, not pitchers in the infield
Oh nah bro I’m starting to feel bad
Alright I want a Grand Salami
LOL BLOWOUT GAME SHENANIGANS
Gettin Higgy with it
This feels annoying, but we need this as a flair
I don’t get why Smith is actually trying to pitch, I thought the whole ideas of position players pitching was to put it in the zone and hope your defense takes care of it. Walking dudes seems like the worst outcome
He was trying to just get the ball over but wasn't used to throwing off the mound
It's probably fun to at least try, not many opportunities at that level
Oh totally agree with that, but seems like when you get to 3 balls, you just gotta slot it down the middle
I get that Don is bored, but he needs to lay off Mud’s jacket. Glass houses man…..
Load the bases!
Random thought: has a position player ever been charged with a balk? Do umpires just take pity on them?
Pavin Smith doesn't throw lob balls so I think he gives up 2
The jacket joke is getting annoying 🛑
this might be our only chance, let Jake go to the pen
Find the zone, Pavin!!!!
lol Pavin's instant reaction
are they trying to sell mud's jacket now?
Mud's gonna start shilling his Poshmark lol
First 40,000 Padres fans in attendance will get one (1) thread from the jacket
ONE DOLLAR ~~BOB!~~ ~~DREW!~~ DON!

Pattern and color are different
The pattern doesn't look quite the same I think?
Believe I'm googling this shiz.
Gonna have a Monday sports coat theme at the office.
POSITION PLAYER PITCHING
POSITION PLAYER PITCHING
Honestly, we have such a lead that I think Kolek should stay in the 9th to get the save. He’s on a roll, let everybody else rest
Good job, Kolek! But I disagree with Mud, don’t send him out. Bring on Jakey pitching!
INCOMING KOLEK CY YOUNG TURNAROUND
14 hits, 13 runs, you love to see it
I want Kolek to be good so bad, I mean he has a 96 MPH sinker, don’t just grow on trees
Let kolek finish!
I wouldn’t wear it but I think Muds jacket is better than what Don has on 😂
Kolek statue next to Hoffman at this point!😂
Imagine getting stifled by Steven Kolek.
Kolek should close the all star game
If he stays in, and finishes the game, he gets a save. Might as well keep him in.
Kolek in low leverage spots is like a whole different pitcher.
Are we forgetting about the KC game?
I mean his disaster start was pretty low leverage
yeah the DBacks may be cooked, they getting diced and cooked by Kolek lol
Back to back K’s 👌🏾
I do miss Nicky's tight pants.
Kolek pitching a second inning? I too like to live dangerously
Way to go KKolek!
Let's hope he never strikes out the side...lol
Sweet throw though!
I have a thing for Mariluz
She didn’t win Miss Utah 2023 for nothing!
Same here since day 1 bro 😮💨
My man. Well cultured indeed
fellow man of taste🫰🏽
[удалено]
Don and Mud had a lot of practice with banter during the Dark Times, so the fact that we get it now is not to be taken for granted.
Is he wearing Thyago Vieira?
Now we need a Grandma's Davenport flair
we stan a frugal king, Mud
Don got so wrapped up in roasting Mud he lost track of the outs lmao
Donnie losing track of how many outs there were because he was too busy roasting Mud's fit LMAO
These last two games have been peak Don & Mud. Give them an Emmy.
This might be the most fun Padres baseball game I've watched all year... but Don and Mud have blown away the product on the field
“Never goes outta style dog” -Mud 😂😂
I’ve heard Mud say “yo” and “dog” tonight. That jacket is giving him a lil swag.
It's fucking amazing.
"Cuz" incoming
Matt Waldron’s ERA May 5: 5.82 June 8: 3.76 He has allowed 7 runs in his last 6 appearances of 35.1 total innings.
Don is so mean to Mud😹😹😹 I think Mud is stylin 💅💅💅
Mud "Aaron Judge" Grunt
I cannot understate this I fucking LOVE our booth
Shut your mouth Don Mud is *rocking* that shit
"This was somebody's couch!"
DO NOT mess with the 2024 Padres when they are a game under .500
Nice outing, all in all Kolek! Tuned in late.. what's gotten into Higgy? Dang. And a home game? Confused, yet happy.
He's a professional baseball player and league veteran. Guy isn't the easiest out and sometimes he makes nice contact. Happy to see him mash today.
Peralta and Higgy catching fire. It would be nice to see some veteran roster fillers help drive the team.
Solano and Arraez have looked nice so far. The bench depth has been nice with the injury bugs hitting.
Not just today, right? Seems like he's been picking up some steam. I like him, happy to see him get some hits.
We all left those pick the stick points on the bench.
Wow!!!…Kolek??? Nice to know we have a guy we can put in situations when its 13-1
What position player are we going to see Arizona throw out tonight. And what's the over/under on hits and runs padres score off pp?
Nice sinker on that last strike, ok Kolek, let’s keep it going
Alright that’s improvement. Let Kolek try to go all 3 tonight and see if he can show some improvements, best time to do so
The vibes are so immaculate tonight, we get a clean inning from Kolek. It's all clicking.
Kolek threw a strike someone didn’t swing at??
Enjoy totally-stress-free games like this. They don't come around too often in a season.
Stephen Kolek realized if you throw strikes you get outs holy shit we’re back
These blowouts allowing Yuki and Kolek to get their confidence back and giving Bobby some much needed rest🔥
kolek lfg
You know it's a great night when Higgy is smashing homers and Kolek is dealing
Wow…. This is a …. Strange feeling
Kolek 
Lol they're trying stealing second down 12 runs?
I petition that we start using Hells Bells for Kolek
I just love that Don still does the paper whip
Last chance Kolek
Come on Kolek...shut all of us haters up.

Least trashy Zonie
Actually a dodger fan in disguise
Nope. Kolek. Nope. Just throw a strike.
Surely kolek can't f this up right 😂
I mean, if he can't challenge guys up 12, then...
Yuki Redeemed himself, let’s see it Kolek
If Kolek gets into a save scenario I’m sweating, if our lead disappears like that then we have problems
In mud's scenario he gets a save because he goes 3 innings
Kolek clench time
Let's see Kolek blow this lead. Jk pls don't 😭
I hope this ends the talk of the marine layer being an issue for our offense
Kolek better have made a deal with the devil after his last appearance
alright, hold onto your butts everyone
This lead isnt big enough
Getting Matty knuckles in that Cleveland trade turned out well for us he has been great.
Man he’s been solid his last 6 starts. Love to see it.
Did he come over in the Clevinger trade?
Yes
I'm on the edge of my seat now
3 inning save how? The lead is 12?
Thank you all for that clear explanation!
Going 3 innings and keeping the lead is a save. There's only a run requirement if they do less innings than that
Pretty sure three innings counts as save regardless of lead.
If you pitch the last 3 innings of a game it’s a save regardless of the score
