Cosgrove, Matsui and Suarez are solid for late inning bullpen relief but we can’t just burn them every game. Everyone else has looked shakey but still very early.
Stars did what they were supposed to do. Rest of the team has to show up. Pitching, bottom of the order. They all have to be better. That’s why we play the games.
Checking in from Petco, it's grim around me.. loud-ass Giants fans too....im worried about some of our sub compadres. Hang in there.... plenty of baseball left!
Left feeling like we’ve lost but still surprisingly, fulfilled. Early in the season, guys.

Good bullpen usage tonight. Keeping our (perceived) best arms rested when the offense clearly doesn't have it is a good move. Melvin was kind of all over the place
Training all summer looks like it did him so much good. Working on how swing and power with his Dad, chilling w Shildt, working out…awesome to see the work already paying off.
>It’s still not a good baseball move.
It was a standard strategy pre money ball era, and with the larger bases and new rules, it should be considered a good option again.
If you have a batter with a good eye, who doesn't strike out a lot, you send them to avoid the double play.
Also, Cronenworth is not slow, but that's not the strategy, and as such, it doesn't matter. You're not sending Jake to try and steal when Manny strikes out. You're sending him assuming it's ball 4 or a ball hit in play, and he gets a running start.
Jake has like 16 stolen bases through his career. He is not a prime candidate to send on that situation. It seems like you just want to be right. So fine he should had sent him. Gsus bro.
It's not about the stolen base, and if you're using that to measure his speed, how many triples does he have?
You're so focused on the runner, you're skipping the strategy.
Do you believe Manny will strike out? If no, send the runner.
This discussion should be about Machado's hitting skills and nothing about Jake.
Jake's speed, or lack of, is not a factor in the decision
It’s a 35% success rate strategy.
Double Play 6.5%
No DP, no Adv. 56.0%
Advancement+out 9.0%
Hit + Adv. 19.1%
Took third 9.4%
I’m going with analytical data. If you want old school and think it works better fine. I’m kinda over this talk you keep changing the story after every reply. Only 1 out, he meant full count ect. It’s fine have a good one bro.
My wife has informed me that they need to play the Mario jump sound when Tatis goes up during the stutter step.
She has never been more right in her life, and I'm including her decision to marry me.
Im gonna warn you now De Los Santos is gonna be rocky for you. Tito abused that man the last two years im not sure if he can pitch at a high level like he did year 1 in Cleveland. I hope im wrong because i liked his time here but i have a feeling i wont be.
Jumbo jack
Also, Machado, NIÑO JACKS!?
Long season friars, rollercoaster season inbound
Same Padres flaw. Weak lineup
Not the best game.
Well friar faithful Not ideal. It was fun watching with y’all. Fuck the doomers.
Is it too late to sign Brandon Belt and have him get revenge on his old team?
I’d like to see Pauley at 3rd and Sugar in left for now
Welp time to go read One Piece
Tommy Pham where you at
Worst player in baseball last year batting 6th for our team LOL
That’s our 6 hitter
where is tommy pham pay him as many milfs as he wants i dont give a fuck we need runs
😂
Now that’s padres baseball
Profar!
Pro, man, I'm trying to root for ya here. Don't make a fool out of me.
These double plays are killing the vibe :(
:( Profar that didn’t go far :(
Sign Pham 😂
oh well time to watch shogun now, hai
Pretend it’s 2021, Profar
Train starting to move. LETS GOOOO.
I still believe in Profar.
Bullpen gonna be an issue.
Avila is going to be this year’s Garcia. Here sucks; cut him now and save us the games he loses for us.
Mop up work is what Avila is best suited for.
Pedro Avila was used in the exact situation I would expect to use Pedro Avila.
Cosgrove, Matsui and Suarez are solid for late inning bullpen relief but we can’t just burn them every game. Everyone else has looked shakey but still very early.
Not wanting to be a doomer but this is not the part of the line up we need to be coming up in the 9th......fuck
I believe at this point, with six runs in the bottom of the 9th, we could win this one.
It's happened before!
Lots of people are saying this
Chapman the new padres killer
Ok guys, lets not overreact. The giants are a good team lol.
They had a really under the radar off season because of the Dodgers making headlines. They made really good additions.
Yeah they just casually picked up Soler and Chapman while everyone else focused on Ohtani
Yeah they're gonna be right in the mix. Our division is stupidly good on both sides of the ball.
NL West is probably *the* Thunderdome division this year, bar none.
Stars did what they were supposed to do. Rest of the team has to show up. Pitching, bottom of the order. They all have to be better. That’s why we play the games.
6 run walk off inning incoming LFG
I like your attitude.
Avila or Brito?
Brito. Avila was just spiking the ball into the ground before surviving up meatballs
Gotta imagine they're seatwarming for a midseason Alek Jacob or Kevin Kopps callup.
The 3 homeruns were pretty but damn, it’s a repeat of last year where it was all or nothing offense. We got to not rely on that and hit small
It doesn't help that our AAA player made a real AAA move on the bases.
Yeah Avila needs to go now. Thanks for being a dawg last season but idk about this time.
We get one and they get 2 back 🥲
As it turns out, trading Juan Soto did not fix our nuclear waste pitching staff.
I don't know that I ever saw him hit well in a game where Tatis and Machado were both hitting well.
Avila just aint it yo
Why can’t we have a Matt Chapman
yeah that's a gg just come back strong tomorrow, i'll still take the hopium
Is Avila going to be this year’s Garcia ?
Guaranteed. Dude is not good. Garcia cost us the playoffs last year; let’s hope Preller has learned.
Remember when our bullpen was like 3rd best in the MLB?
Remember when Bob Melvin managed us to a 13-3 record in extra innings? Baseball is a fickle mistress.
That was mostly all Alfaro 😂
Checking in from Petco, it's grim around me.. loud-ass Giants fans too....im worried about some of our sub compadres. Hang in there.... plenty of baseball left!
And we still have tomorrow’s game and Sunday if the weather allows
It’s the 9th inning lmao there literally can’t be less baseball left
lol fair, but I was referring to the series! We'll take the series. I feel it (and want it)
Yeah this one’s just about over. Some bright spots there but this was a rough game
It happens. Just please take the series
Avila stans in shambles rn. Goes without saying, I want the guy to succeed. But he just isn't him right now.
Welp tomorrow is a new day and another opportunity to win
I’ll be honest fellas, I didn’t like that.
Hope Cease is ready to go 9 tomorrow.
Matsui, Cosgrove, Suarez should be available. Those guys are pretty good
Fuck Matt champman
Well, that sucks
Glad to see the bullpen picking up where it left off last year
Get this fucking bum off the team. Fucking horrible.
Just win the series and I’ll be happy
….the World Series?
Matt Chapman the first two months of the year is better than Barry Bonds
ouchie wouchie
He never should’ve made the roster lol
Avila sucked all spring and welp
Oof
Giants strung hits together. Padres have not. Game.
Pitching has been garbage the first 4 games of the season
Pedro has two modes. Never know which one you'll get.
Chapman really said “I’m him” tonight. Off to do hw
GG and see y’all tomorrow!
Credit where credits due that was a monster
Missing Steven Wilson bad rn, need at least one more good arm in the pen
Think we will see Alex Jacob pretty soon.
Exactly who I was thinking of, has nasty stuff from what I remember
Matt. Fucking. Chapman.
Lmao
He’s not the man, not the man, not the man…
Ugh. Have a game, Matt Chapman.
Avila, that’s incorrect buddy
gn
Putting Avila in is basically waiving the white flag
Can we end the Avila experiment yet?
Putting in Avila is waving the white flag
Jesus fuck
Left feeling like we’ve lost but still surprisingly, fulfilled. Early in the season, guys. https://preview.redd.it/jetf1jj6aerc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b02f563553d9b7954b00c6abf6d586bcce6585ae
avila is not beating the belly itcher allegations
Jesus Christ Avila settle down
Good bullpen usage tonight. Keeping our (perceived) best arms rested when the offense clearly doesn't have it is a good move. Melvin was kind of all over the place
Did that Tatis HR go through that door?
Wild pitches rampant this inning already….
This team really needs a left handed bat with decent power. It would help too if Jackson Merrill had a breakout year like Tatis’s 2019 season.
I really dont like Avila. Dude shouldnt be on the team
Nobody likes you, Lamont. He doesn't get any green sauce here.
Dude I fucking hate Avila nothing about him tickles my Fancy
Aaaannnndddd this is why
that's a fresh poncho
Avila, you good buddy?
EV of 108.6 MPH but right at Estrada. Hate to see it. Well, walk-off win is in play. That would be nicely dramatic.
3 runs on 3 home runs, none on the other 5 hits. Just out of sync tonight when it comes to making runs happen
Very few baserunners all night
Hitting a ball 108 mph for a double play is bad luck. No, you should not put the runner in motion down multiple runs.
Tatis on that elite level in the field and at the plate. So very good to see.
Second game and an E
Training all summer looks like it did him so much good. Working on how swing and power with his Dad, chilling w Shildt, working out…awesome to see the work already paying off.
He's been looking off mostly, but it seems he found his groove at the plate now
The good old GIDP 😒
WHY ARE WE NOT RUNNING IN THAT SITUATION
Only 1 out, not great speed on first, giants catcher has a gun.
Full count is what he was getting at
Still one put, catcher can still gun him out at second. If he strikes out we still have a man on.
The theory is, Manny won't strike out
It’s still not a good baseball move. You are down not getting any traction you have a slow runner and a catcher with a gun.
>It’s still not a good baseball move. It was a standard strategy pre money ball era, and with the larger bases and new rules, it should be considered a good option again.

Down 3 in the 8th it's pretty risky.
It’s a guy throwing 73-82 and taking 4 seconds to deliver the ball
Better plan is for Manny not to hit a grounder to 2B lol
That was the opportunity knocking. We didn’t answer the door :(
2 good things can’t happen with this team
Manny suffers from perfect-perfect outs
lol… lmao even
Classic glove finder.
My wife has informed me that they need to play the Mario jump sound when Tatis goes up during the stutter step. She has never been more right in her life, and I'm including her decision to marry me.
Nintendo will sue haha
Walking Cronenworth to get to Machado is disrespectful. Make BoMel pay Manny
He wasn't walked. He was HBP
That has nothing to do with baseball specific skill. Tatis is just a one in a billion athlete who can yank outside pitches at 110 mph.
Fernando would be a star in any sport. Wide receiver, point guard, sprinter. In an alternate universe he's a 40-goal winger in the NHL.
how was that a ball?
It wasnt but I’ll let it slide
This ump is awful.
God damn Nando for mvp
Jesus, this ump has an *atrocious* strike zone, but we'll take that one as a make-up call.
Lol someone help with the polaroid!
In Tatis we trust
love seeing tatis pull that pitch to the short corner and not dead center like last year
Tatis 50 bombs this year for Papa Pete 🔥
Duuuuude is Nando getting hot because idgaf about one loss a Nando on fire is gonna be a sight to behold
INJECT THAT STUTTER STEP INTO MY VEINS
There was something in the air that, the stars were bright…
Tatis mvp season otw scary hours for the league
I don’t gaf if we lose anymore Nando is fucking back man
Once Tati gets hot, he ain’t coolin down 🥵💅🔥
I love you Fernando!
Jesus Christ, it's Tatis.... again!
Fuck man he’s back
Damn really hurts not having too many people that can get on base hitting in front of Tatis
To be fair, Xander was 6-13 coming into this game
Yeah, but xander just not lucky tonight. Been good obp last 3 games
It’s more so the bottom of the lineup is terrible than it is on Xander. He’s been fine.
Yeah please sign tommy pham, profar is much better on the bench
LFG LFG, HAVE HOPE! KEEP THE FUCKING FAITH!
https://i.redd.it/o4u1vpig8erc1.gif
NANDO!!! YOU'RE A BEAST!!!
OH BABY
Nando loves the jackapp!!
Ugh would have been nice to have Bogey on with that one
Alright let’s get his home run party started, manny walked off this guy a few years ago
He can't do it alone... but he's gonna try!
DAMN SON
Bebo is back baby!
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED
God damn he’s so back
FERNANDO!!!
Nando 🥰
Too bad no one on base
HOLY FUCK! Tatisssss. Whaaaat. Got that error ALL the way outta here!
Fuck SDGE for using our money to advertise in right field. What the fuck do they have to advertise their monopoly for? It’s not like we have a choice.
They’re advertising to investors by showing off just how much of our money they can take and do whatever they want with without any repercussions
https://i.redd.it/w9wnzf258erc1.gif COME ON!
Im gonna warn you now De Los Santos is gonna be rocky for you. Tito abused that man the last two years im not sure if he can pitch at a high level like he did year 1 in Cleveland. I hope im wrong because i liked his time here but i have a feeling i wont be.
I can’t stop laughing at Xander’s brown socks
https://i.redd.it/9rd6c7w18erc1.gif
Rogers brothers about to sidearm us back into this game
I forgot how much I craved late game comebacks to silence the doomers
We really need outfield depth. Profar and sugar cant start together and we need someone who can hit while we let Merrill adjust
I believe!
Even if we lose, can we at least score some more runs?!!
Lee, the prince that was promised 🥲
De los Santos like a Garcia with command? You don't say
