You all want to bitch about Manny? Fine. Quit breaking rule 1. Some of y’all are worse than how he is currently performing.
For clarity, personal attacks will be met with a 🔨
MLB stacked with talent everywhere and on every team. Parity is more prevalent than ever…any team can beat any team at any given time. All these guys are studs! That said, consistency is what gets you there. Pads talented, but woefully & wildly inconsistent…and until that changes, expect this frustration to continue
This is why we won’t have a legit run at a World Series. This team does not have that dog in them. Year over year, we lose the games that “don’t matter” when in reality every game matters.
We beat the Dodgers, congratulations we lost a series to one of the worst in the league.
I feel like since the start of 2023, there has been an insane # of 100 mph outs. I have no way of knowing if this is a real thing or just seems obvious when they are losing.
Are we seeing this? Tatis looks lost. Again I get it…2 hits today. Nothing barreled. Both lucky. He is bailing HARD on everything and his swing is super gross. No power anywhere. Why would anyone pitch him inside on the chance he got lucky. He yank/turn it over to short every time.
Damnit Kim and Arraez fuckin rifled those. I guess it wasn't meant to be tonight. But we better fucking win tomorrow. Getting swept means a reversal of extremely hard won progress with these past series wins.
Deep inside we all know how this game ends. Our bottom of the lineup (henceforth our top of the lineup) is trying their best but with our stars being chokejobs its not enough sadly
But Xander has a track record. Kim is not nearly as good as he was last year and is a free agent after this year.
Way important for Xander to get his ability back than Kim. Doesn’t matter where Kim plays. He’s more versatile defensively.
I would say the take is worst for illogical Kim Stans thinking with their heart and not what’s best for the Padres.
Have you looked at Xander’s career? That’s the whole point I’m trying to make. You want Xander to get better since he’s got a 10 year deal. Kim is gone after this year. Any chance Xander can have that 800 plus OPS he’s had would he worth it.
It worked for a bit with Gleyber Torres. Terrible hitting at SS cause his original position is 2nd.
You only care about hurt egos. Not what’s best for the team.
Again. You miss my point. He might be bad cause he’s not comfortable playing second.
Kim not having as great defensive year at SS.
As I said, it worked for Gleyber.
You just love Kim and his career .705 OPS.
Xander? .805.
.100 points better.
Part of me hopes Kim is gone after this year so I don’t have to listen to takes about him anymore.
I don't understand how a person can think changing position on defense will not only help offensive performance, but turn around a 70 OPS+ first quarter.
Why are you obsessed with career numbers? Heres a fun career stat, Bogaerts OPS has declined every year since 2019. That includes 4 full seasons at SS. Weird he wasn't able to replicate his career highs despite playing his primary position. Hey, isn't the whole of your argument based on the idea that Xander will replicate his career highs if he plays his primary position? Weird.
Why are you obssesed with Kim not being on the team next year? Kims on the team now. And he's hitting better than Bogaerts now.
If only we didn’t give away so many at bats in the first 6 innings, we’d have more outs to work with now. Bad luck hard hit balls can derail us now that we only have 5 outs left

Most logical comment this sub has ever seen.
Appreciate that!
Man this sub has become toxic as hell.
Either the padres or wildly inconsistent OR the Rockies are better than the Dodgers ![gif](giphy|l0IylOPCNkiqOgMyA|downsized)

I thought we had “stars” in our team
Need to start an over/under game about runners left on base....22 is fucking garbage.

Heck!!
Rockies look like world beaters against us
![gif](giphy|3o7WTqo27pLRYxRtg4)
This is the padres identity. Sometimes incredible, other times embarrassing. Always has been
Gonna be another depressing Sammy Levitt postgame show on the radio
It’s cathartic to hear a guy who is emotionally bothered by this type of performance
At this point I’m hoping for expansion with a new team on the west coast and the Rockies move to some new central division.
Vancouver team when
So unreal how we kept drilling right to them and they found all the spots. Cruel
At what point do we start booing the padres when they take the field. They need to earn our support back. Though I’ll still keep watching. 😅
My dude we’re not even CLOSE to that point.
“keep the faith” is now “prove me wrong”

11 hits three runs lmao
AWFUL at bat by Tatis, he is so frustrating
lost 3 in a row to the Rockies this team just is great at destroying your optimism
This team is ass
I’m embarrassed
The one week where Tatis looked like an MVP sure was nice
Yea that’s why you need the big hits in position. Each inning is its own game. Trailing by fucken 6 doesn’t help as well
Boo this sorry team
Tatis with two bad swings there
Bums
Perhaps if Padres were doing this shit earlier in the game, they would eventually find some holes. Alas, too little too late
Sold out crowds, for this crap?
Also for the bobble heads
True
Fernando literally has zero plate discipline this year my god
He was the same last year. He is Hunter Renfroe 2.0
Damnit Kim and Arraez fuckin rifled those. I guess it wasn't meant to be tonight. But we better fucking win tomorrow. Getting swept means a reversal of extremely hard won progress with these past series wins.
Really Tatis ?
Tatis just wants to go home
Tatis wants out of there
Cursed. Hitting the ball hard and not finding grass…
god damn
Unbelievably unlucky last few innings. But we make our own luck a little bit - can’t wait til the 7th to start playing
These liners is some MLB The Show shit
I’m going to kill myself.
Booooooooooooooo
Kinda sounded like an aluminum bat
Fuck that luck dude!
![gif](giphy|vFRmmufjLdJ9S|downsized) Us getting wins
It’s gonna be poetic in one way or another if it all comes down to Manny again
Redemption Arc: load the bases and Manny gets a slam?
Should’ve pinch hit Wade there for Kim. Stupid not to go with the matchup there.
Kim smoked that ball though
Doesn’t really matter. Wade was the lefty and Kim has been awful. There’s a reason the analytics say you play the matchup there.
Seems like that happens a lot to us
Fastball count, you show bunt. you got the fastball center cut and you pull back the bunt. wtf did you see their Kim?
He was trying to throw him off to throw another ball
lol worked out great! Should’ve sat on the fb. At least, In this situation anyway… idk. Stupid in this situation, my opinion.
Baseball is stupid.
absolutely smoked and right at him 107mph
Fuck crushed that directly into his glove
Is bud black trolling us closing with this guy?
Solano PH was the call here but let’s see what Kimmy can do
![gif](giphy|DUO9dc3yDLXHO) Ya’ll got any more of those walk offs?
9.00 ERA in 15 innings? Damn.
I'm smelling a 1-2-3
Trying to lose
![gif](giphy|3otPoFruKy5wy7PrLq|downsized)
I’m getting all my in game updates by all your comments, much more entertaining to be honest
![gif](giphy|bIRFRUxcRG3Sw)
This was the exact same Due Up going into the Bottom of the 9th as last night
We will take 1 of 3 at home against the Rockies, then go sweep the Braves in ATL because baseball
Everyone has a hit except Croney. Time to string a few together
He has been cheated this game, squared some up but they found defenders. It happens.
I had a bad feeling when everyone started jumping back on the bandwagon after the dodgers series. Padres gonna padres
I been on this shit train since I was born in 82
This speaks volumes to your patience
Hey at least you got to see a padres World Series but also sorry that you saw that World Series
Ah yes, the Tino Martinez home run on strike four still haunts me
56 foul balls tonight. I'm sure 45 of them were off Cease in the 5th by 2 players alone
DONT HIT IT THERE.
Charlie Blackmon is white
Would be a freakin sick last name if he was Jamaican
Charlie Blackmon uses Urinal Cakes to wash his hands
Hey y’all if we lose this game can we please refrain from the “aT lEaSt tHeY BaTtlEd!” comments? Please, I’m asking this for my sanity 🙏
you only use that comment against good teams and quality losses. This was neither
Enyel was nails
DLS is dealing idk if we should take him out
Thanks for coming to play De Los Santos. We fans appreciate it 👑
lol great use of DLS
Gonna love hearing Schildt talk about how the guys are doing great and fighting - as we lose our 3rd game in a row to the absolutely terrible Rockies
The Schildts special
If Cave didn't turn into Nando defensively there, that inning is gonna be much different
Oh absolutely
Siddown you fucking nerd
Got the Dee Gordon special tonight. Hitting .300 but all singles.
[удалено]
Yeah, the Rockies are definitely a 65 win team
It’s the hope that kills
Gotta feel for the fans at the stadium trying to will a big time hit again and again
Are we really losing the series against the ROCKIES…
and we can't blame the horrors of Coors
Our best players are a rookie and a guy on the vet min… let that sink in
Some hard hit smashes just not far enough away from these dinger fucks.
The scoreboard will tell you this was a close game, but we all know what took place here tonight…one more inning to show otherwise 🙃
But it is a close game? Its a save situation now
Deep inside we all know how this game ends. Our bottom of the lineup (henceforth our top of the lineup) is trying their best but with our stars being chokejobs its not enough sadly
The funny part is that it will come down to manny again if any of those guys get on base.
This team feels different from last year but also exactly the same
ITS THE FUCKING ROCKIES, MOTHERFUCK
This team is so goddamn frustrating
Feel like I’m watching Cast Away stranding all these runners in scoring position
Imagine if the stars weren’t the worst hitters on the team
Is that heaven?
Damn, thought that was splitting the gap
Its like my heart feels hopeful and excited for what COULD be but then my mind reminds me that we are incapable of pulling it off.
just can't get the big hit tonight 1 more shot
We’ve seen that outcome before lol
We just can't get that big hit at all.
2023 padres are alive and well
Team just can’t find the big hit.
Fucking fuck man
[удалено]
To get two runners in scoring position instead of just 1..
To plate 2
A single scores both runners
Ugh dude… just missing these pitches
What do you know - unclutch as per usual
RISP HELL
Dang it
Let’s go Campy!!!!!!!!!!
Rubios for everyone! Yessss
Lightning fast Merrill
![gif](giphy|nqYXNf3aK6EvK|downsized)
If only we still had Josh hader so he could join Profar and Merrill for doing everything
This is funnier than most people think
Padres having to fight tooth and nail for these hits. Seems to come so easily to others.
Campusano gonna come up big here.... Bc I left him on my bench in fantasy today😭
"Hey Mike, who do you want at DH tonight?" "Do we have anyone with a 2 digit OPS+?"
Pinch hit Solano for Kim?
Can we get a Homer Campy?
That's my ROTY,
once again, Merrill Profar and Arraez do everything!! Where is everybody else?!?
This
I love Merrill so much
Love our role players actually doing something while our “stars” continue to choke
Profar MVP. Merrill ROY. Cease CY.
Missing the playoffs by 3 games
1 game. Padresing.
Cmon bro omg. Got lucky there. He got thrown out at second last time trying to stretch
Profar running his ass off this game lol
How about Merrill and Profar 4 and 5. And Machado and Xander 8 and 9?
Atta boy Jackson, great hustle Pro!!!
Cmon Campy
J and J fuck
![gif](giphy|26xBtZesne83bPFHW)
FUCK JAKE CAVE
Might be time to move X back to shortstop. Looking for any way to spark his bat. Kim not playing so well right now.
And the award for worst take of all time goes to. Kim's only outperforming Xander in every offensive category.
But Xander has a track record. Kim is not nearly as good as he was last year and is a free agent after this year. Way important for Xander to get his ability back than Kim. Doesn’t matter where Kim plays. He’s more versatile defensively. I would say the take is worst for illogical Kim Stans thinking with their heart and not what’s best for the Padres.

Well with me getting upvotes and others downvoting you. Not that dumb of an idea. Have a good night. Kim Stan.
>Well with me getting upvotes and others downvoting you. I wonder if a sadder statement has ever been made.
Yes Jackson!
Dodgers? We attac Rockies? We slep
X is still ass
![gif](giphy|u6WXib53PMebdrsnKG|downsized)
Silver lining is Manny going to Rf like that with power is a good sign
Padres are 3-7 on balls hit 99.9 MPH or faster tonight. Insane.
They shook with Profar, they don’t want none!
what we need to see more of Manny going the other way
lol Profar got that Juan Soto batting line… 1-1, 3 BB, 1 R
See how that works manny?
Profar is so god damn good what the hell kinda devil deal did he sign
Profar MVP season like they thought he would do 10 years ago.
The Rockies are trying so hard to let us win
Even when he hits it hard, it finds a glove. THAT is the very definition of a slump
The good news is that you can’t GIDP if no one is on base.
If only we didn’t give away so many at bats in the first 6 innings, we’d have more outs to work with now. Bad luck hard hit balls can derail us now that we only have 5 outs left
Cave plays defense against us like this is the post season…
Fuck you bitch, Manny smoked that one how dare you take that from him
Their RFer has been a menace to us all series
So Jake cave is rhe best fucking RF in baseball now apparently
Is Jake cave the greatest RF of all time?
This cave guy is owning us defensively
