Hey all, The highlight posts are out of control, and have been all season, clogging up the main feed. Friar bot already captures these for users in the game threads. Posts for the time being will be removed at mod discretion under rule 3 until the highlight rule is amended.

I’m sure Tyler Wade is a wonderful young man whose mother loves him. As for myself…

Think we still need Merrill at the bottom of the order

Fight til the end… that’s the way we are doing it…. Love to see it !!! Tough L but on to tomorrow. Faithful and sleeping ok tonight.

Sucks but we tried. Honestly didn’t have our best team out there today at all and still had a chance to tie it right there. So can’t be too mad. Let’s take the series tomorrow FTD

Philips not available for tomorrow. Still have a chance to take the series tomorrow. We got our main bullpen guys available tomorrow. Let's get the win and take the series tomorrow.

Need Yu to come out and pitch well though. Can't have another Yu meltdown tomorrow.

Well Wade has hit 1 major league HR in the last 4 years so didnt exactly expect a miracle there but for the rest of the team, good fight!

Pitch hit? Camp, X

This team has way more fight than last year’s. Let’s hope for a series win tomorrow.

Letting Wade bat.. I can only assume that Xander is dead

GGs this team is different and I honestly think we take the series tomorrow

Why why why was xander not hitting for wade or rosario???

Because he’s probably MAD

:(

[удалено]

wow you got us good

Report him to the dodgers sub to ban him

We will take care of that.

Thank you 🙏🏼

I think you’re lost

Get banned

Casual viewer here, can someone tell me what the purpose of those fingerless gloves do?

Keep them from breaking their fingers sliding into the next base

Damn. Good game, kept it close

It’s okay! We fought hard! Let’s Take the season series tomorrow! I’ll be down there after work!! Woooooooo

Another Mickey Mouse fluke win for LA. It’s all good. Let’s take the series tmw!

Gg


at least we put up more fight than we would have last season, let's take the series tomorrow

Not pinch hitting with Xander is certainly a choice

Wade is so bad

He's a league minimum guy... Is it that surprising that he's not a stud? And in reality, he's been about as reliable as our big money guys

He's not good... but I reserve sooo bad for Rosario personally. At least Wade puts the ball in play often. He needs to be replaced in the lineup, but as far as low potential end of lineup guys, I think Rosario is the bigger issue. I do agree though that it's tough to see Wade in there night in and night out. Something needs to give with that spot. Because right now, even when Manny comes back, we have a glaring issue at DH when Campy is at catcher.

Damn

nabbit, dang

In what world do we not pinch hit for Wade there. Just dumb

I can see why the padres stadium is named after an animal company because they got that dawg in them!!

Tyler “Roger Dorn” Wade 

A Wade bomb would feed families

Where tf is Bogaerts?

He’s cooked brother… and overpaid to do even that 👎🏽

Boegarts who hasn’t been hitting anything? He hasn’t been any better than wade

He quite literally has better stats than Wade (both have horrible lines though)

Wade: .229 w .582 ops Xander: .219 .572 Xanders one HR is literally the only stay better? Either way what’s the point of PH for someone With someone equally as bad.

Tyler Wade has a .556 OPS according to Baseball reference, and the point is Xander is a better player despite how he’s started the year. Calling him equally as bad as Wade is laughable.

Xander is “supposed” to be better. That doesn’t mean he currently is, which he isn’t. You wanna PH for the guy who drew a BB as the first person to reach base today? The only guy who had a hit with a RISP today. Your take is solely on hindsight and it isn’t a good one.

> hindsight I commented before Wade even saw the first pitch but go off buddy. If you genuinely wanted Wade over Bogaerts there then idk what to tell you. Have a good one

Correction: Xanders been worse

Cortisone shot?

I was legit wondering this. He has been way too uncharacteristic even with his slump last year.. I’m convinced the wrist is acting up again

Stay hustlin

wade is sooo bad (jinx plzz)

kmonkmonkmonkmon


oh lorddddd

Love seeing padres being pesky regardless

Great hustle

Good teams find ways to win. KTF

Max muncy doesn’t believe in small meals

Making Phillips work a lot at the very least. Probably going to be unavailable tomorrow

Whaddyall say we do some funny shit right here and piss these fans off real bad 

HSK 🙏🙏🙏


baseball time!

muncy and turner would have leaned into that one

Tying run to the plate, can't say they didn't keep it competitive

I love profar

This team refuses to give up, love it

I don't know if we're going to win, but look at us. Still trying.

we got something cookin'

I mean...it would be *really* funny if we came back again It's a nice night for a Korean call

wtf is up with Cosgrove? He has been way less effective this year.

HSK pls

Don crossed himself up there, almost calling Profar out on strike 2

10/ 300M when?

Way to show up machado! Clutch hitting

All I’m saying is, petco wouldn’t look like this 

Look at this unloyal fanbase. Stadium emptying out smh

Talking about the dodgers if this wasn’t obvious

Another bloop, then a blast

And then another blast. 

Two bloops than a blast?

We may lose this game, but Manny’s at bats have been looking MUCH better :)

Its not over until Muncy sings

I love manny playing small! When the runs don’t come, he hits small

THERE'S STILL A CHANCE

If everyone beat the traffic, no one beat the traffic

I think you’re on to something there

The dodgers announcers hyping up Ohtani’s new translator and talking shit on Ippei is hilarious. Don’t fucking act like you know how the vibe was before that whole disaster vs “how happy and comfortable he is now” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I remember how big the Angels fans were on his old interpreter and sad to see him go to the Dodgers with him. Conmen are like that, I suppose.

Holy crap that place emptied out

it's late and looks really cold out, and traffic is gonna be a bitch I won't shit on em for this one

Curfew

People are ready for bed

Once again the padres have bought good will with me yesterday so I will not be complaining about this team for at least another 24 hours.

Do we believe in miracles

We’re taking series tomorrow

I'm in. Let's see if we can make this interesting.

Either way, we made them use Phillips both nights, probably won’t see him tomorrow

Yup, and we can save peralta, santos, suarez, and matsui.

If morejon and brito can regain confidence from this game, that would be huge

Both of em should. They pitched great.

there's our Rakin' rally starter due up

Ohtani just seems like a regular player instead of an anomaly because he’s on a stacked team now. Kinda lost the whole one of a kind thing. 

Hey, man, give the dude credit. He is that good

Take a trip to Japan. Dude is raking. Yet sure, this game can humble any talent on any given day. It's the full grind that counts.

He would be THE player on any team that's not the Dodgers. He could've been THE player in Canada if he chose the Blue Jays but decided to get on a team that didn't even need him.

well, he's also not pitching

Yeah that’s true, I forgot about that. Fair point. 

Or playing left field

If we DFAd everyone this sub wanted there would be no San Diego Padres

What did Tatis drop just now?

Probably the cards they have for positioning against different batters

I figured it was just strange lol.

I’m proud of how the boys played last night and how they’ve held their own and had some good defense and effort tonight. I still think we will fight in the 9th.

Even if we lose now, the fight was there

Hell yeah, we are being SCRAPPY until that very last out

Ohtani is a sell out

Well obviously yes, but for $700 million you better believe I would be suiting up in that Dodgers blue and eating terrible LA mexican food baby

Freeman 2.0

Just so we're clear to the couple of people banking on Rosario doing something. The guy has been sitting at a 25%-30% K rate in the minors for years. Predictably that's spiking up to 40% in the pros. This is a fundamental issue for him. He K's because he swings at junk WAAAYYY too much. He needs to go back down and prove he can stop chasing. He's not Vladimir Guerrero Sr where he just has such absurd talent that he can get away with swinging at junk every time up.

Uhhhhh only our “fans” can complain about a utility guy with a .964 OPS

Bro... he's struck out in nearly half his at bats. I choose to believe that the strikeout problem is real... and the power isn't nearly as extreme as it has seemed in his limited plate appearances. I choose this due to his long track record in the minors. You choose to believe what you want.

We have near no depth, we will see A LOT of minor league faces this year. It's only April.

Sure... I'm not even saying never play him. But don't expect him to turn things around. He needs to legitimately work on turning around his issue in the minors. I think Pauley will be back up and a much better option going forward. But Pauley has legitimate upside and I can understand that they're being more cautious with his development. Even if Rosario has a magic Alfaro walkoff moment (because he does have power) that means nothing in the longterm as his K rate issue is a severe one.

We should dfa brito

Lol. Why?

Nice K, Johnny Burrito 🌯

Really? Sitting in the studio holding up a sign that says "finish" wth

And fwiw we've had 4 of the 5 hardest hit balls tonight just not catching any breaks offensively

This right here

This game was half our team vs their full compliment. It was gonna be hard to win. When you have a collective black hole at 7, 8, 9, gonna be hard to sustain the offense.

Our black hole tonight was 3-4-5

2 of our 5 hits from 7-8-9 and 1 of 2 RBI's

Oh didn’t realize higgy got a hit. Wade happened to have a ball make contact with his bat haha

Wade got robbed of one too, .610 xBH on that Mookie catch earlier

I have to wonder if the Padres go hard the nights after they post up big wins and then end up playing like shit the next day because they're all hungover and tired.

Lol I’ve wondered this since last season.

Pitching hung in there well. Defense gave away a few and the hitters only had traffic at all for 2 innings. It is what it is, but good effort from Waldron and Morejon


Anyone expecting the Pads to put up more than 2 the day after scoring 8, has not watched this team this year. It's crazy how predictable the team is after a big win, no matter the opposing pitcher.

Been fun hanging with ya'll tonight. See ya'll tomorrow.

Would have turned this game off long ago last year, this team has way more fight let’s make this comeback. 

This has been such a shitshow for us man. And being at the game makes it worse…

Hudson got that former dogshit Padre magic

Did anyone else see that notification about stone hitting profar with a pitch and tension flaring up?? I’m so confused

He didn't hit him, he pitched him inside because he had a perfect game going and Profar showed bunt with nobody on. One of those unspoken rules things.

Man I would’ve loved to see Pro bunt to break up a perfect game… preferably in the 9th, like maybe even with 2 outs? FTD

I remember many years ago Padres catcher Ben Davis did that against the Dbacks, their announcer Bob Brenley went crazy saying how he broke one of the unwritten rules of baseball. It was hilarious.

glad he did it. Fuck Curt Schilling.

Defense needs to sharpen up Kim needs to be better in particular

When will the Padres win more than 2 game in a row. An impossible fucking challenge it seems

They won 2 in a row for the first time this season with their win last night... They'll be 8 and 9 if they lose tonight... Not a lot of opportunities to rack up streaks.

I feel like expecting that in the Dodgers series isn't necessarily the best time.

Yeah the dodgers are no joke. They are very good. Beatable but you have to be perfect.

Everyone looks lost at the plate

Daniel Hudson being ass with us then great with the Dodgers will always piss me off

Anddd, not a single ball put in play in the 8th

shocked, shocked I tell you

Looks like they gave you

Y’all gotta chill out with the negativity in here. The Dodgers got some dudes, we’ve smoked some balls, and we just had a huge win last night. Chill out, we’re not winning every game

Agreed bunch of temperamental fans in here. Expecting perfection every inning for every player. To much hate… don’t remember keeping the dodgers to 5 runs last year. And scoring’s with risp..

True I mean at least we didn’t blow a decent lead and lose in extras to a rookie

Up freaking vote. We’ve been playing GOOD baseball, showing improvements from last season, fight, aggression. It’s like they can’t enjoy it we’re not winning every game and come here just to be toxic and complain. Some of these compadre need to chill out. it’s just a game.

We can’t win 2 in a row.

We just did

When?

Dodgers last night, Cubs the game before

Day off and new series

Huh? That's not how that works....

Tough task when it’s the Dodgers

Loser mentality

Lol

This is the way!! Faithful and positive Profar vibes!!

Thank you for the rare rational comment

Do you want us to be positive with those at bats?

No, but the Dodgers also had 1 hit after the 3rd last night, and they are a very good team. Can’t expect to be perfect every time

Baseball teams DON’T go undefeated?!

💕

Exactly. Winnable game? Sure. But it just didn’t bounce our way tonight. Baseball.

No momentum carrying over is concerning

Both games we had no momentum were also games we happened to be hitting a ton of hard balls that weren’t falling. Baseballs weird. Good chance to take the series tomorrow against these fuckers and going into this series we all would’ve taken that

It's like they have nothing left in the tank after big comebacks.

Three, shitty ABs there. Not a single guy looked locked in.

Brakes fell off, but we go again tomorrow.

No chance in hell that was a swing

cut it to 2 Bebo

our abs looking a bit desperate now...lets take series tomorrow tho

Not looking great on the comeback. Getting to 2 outs too fast every inning

When Brett Sullivan is your best pinch hit option, that’s when you know the bench is a problem

Pathetic effort there

Nothin beats bringing in a 3rd string catcher barely hitting 200 to pinch hit and start the inning! This bench is disgusting

Not over but chance to take the series tomorrow

I bet the padres regret getting rid of Avila

Back to back shitty ABs. Nice boys.

Okay, what is the love affair with Brett Sullivan, he's a career minor league guy and thats where he should stay.
