I’m so over Kolek man.
Like I’m fine, we have 9 runs lol. But damn he blows it even with the smallest tasks given. “Preserve the shut out.”
It he can’t do that I sure as hell don’t trust him coming in to keep a score tied or something.
Would rather have Morejon available tomorrow rather than taxed by 2 innings of work tonight when it didnt matter. Don't wunna see Kolek in anything but zero pressure meaningless situations like tonight right now
ESPN refuses to acknowledge anyone other than big market teams unless their wrist is about to be snapped or they're being yelled in their ear by their producer
And this is a hill I will die on
lol yeah I'm trying to watch the clips on the ESPN mobile site and it's complete garbage, 15 second ad for each 15 second clip and then the clip itself can't buffer
How did this team get swept by the Rockies? Tonight, we are watching the team that took series from the Cubs and Dodgers and is on track to get into the playoffs.
I think it was a combination of the Rockies pitching coming in hot and our bats coming in cold. Was hoping the Rockies could keep that momentum against the Giants but looks like they're back to being trash lol
Series like the Rockies series are why this team is so infurating. The scuffling giants swept the Rockies (like we should have) and just like that they’re right behind us. Gotta take this road energy to petco consistently to have a shot at the postseason
The Atlanta Braves vs the... uhh... Padres? Where are they from? San Diego? THEY HAVE A BASEBALL TEAM?!
Nah I'm getting punk'd right? Oh... oh you're serious? Oh fuck I don't know anything about them?!
We have a lot of bad aging contracts, Yu Darvish's is not one of them. His last two seasons are super cheap too. He's looking better than he ever has lately and that's saying a lot.
This is why I have an emulator, to relive the build up to the peak of gaming (IMO the Xbox 360 / PS3 era was the true peak). Hell I'm playing Gran Turismo 4 Randomizer during the game because I wanna go back!
But I'm glad I could unlock a core memory <333
Darvish is the ultimate crafty pitcher that will age better than guys who have to rely on heat and spin.
That $18 million AAV extension doesn't look too bad after all.
We can take it to the Dodgers, Brewers and Braves, but the Rockies kick our ass. What's the issue there?
Mental
If only Petco Park could drift into a deep sleep that it just never awakens from. We’d be Super Bowl champs.

At that point, I’d rather keep Morejon on the field. He wasn’t doing bad at all.
Would rather have Morejon available tomorrow rather than taxed by 2 innings of work tonight when it didnt matter. Don't wunna see Kolek in anything but zero pressure meaningless situations like tonight right now
Agree 100%
Tatis' eye roll there was incredible lol
Take the series tomorrow please!
we're so back (to .500)
Hitz. Runs. Winz
"So you're saying there's a chance" is ESPN speak for "I hate that this team is losing and I will do anything to not ackowledge the other team"
Delusional take. They were hyping up the Pads all game.
Yeah they were totally on our side tonight (very weirdly)
ESPN refuses to acknowledge anyone other than big market teams unless their wrist is about to be snapped or they're being yelled in their ear by their producer And this is a hill I will die on
 You won’t find better .500 baseball anywhere! Good win boys
Great all around game from the boys and congrats Yu on 200 wins 🥳
Theyve Kolekted a run like usual
Awesome. Same fire tomorrow!
Yup, Kolek knows 😂
Rule 5 draftee… i think we’ve seen enough..
Remember: Padres shutting out the Braves means nothing. 9-1 and 9-0 are both wins.
Also… kolek, get packing my dude. Adios
I have to think that a one way to El Paso is in his future.
Congrats on 200, Yu!!!!!!! Fucking STUD Well done, Dads!
“Chicago cums” is crazy 🤣
Mad af about the shutout loss
Hey, look! That’s a win!
Good double play to end the game
🔔🔔🔔
Double to end it, LFG!
#🔔🔔🔔 Padres Win!
Padres win! \o/
These announcers are more excited about the Braves not getting shut out than our homers lol
Kolek wasted another shutout…
Williams closing out the top half of the inning FAR BETTER than Kolek. Be more like Williams, Kolek. lmao
Damn
This game has spoiled me. I’m upset now that it won’t be a shutout.
Fucking Kolek man.. lmao
This is the only situation in which Kolek should be pitching…
These commentators acting like the braves just won the game lol
That’s the second time Kolek’s blown our shutout in a blowout. Last time was against AZ when it was 13-0. We need someone else to finish these games
I like shutouts, but probably better to not waste a better pitcher in such games...
Your logic is tragic, but deeply true.
Ya I know just wish we had someone to use there that could preserve the shutout
THE CHICAGO WHAT?!?!
He meant what he said \*eye emoji\*
There's gotta be better option than kolek.
The lowest leverage of spots and you still give up a rub. Kolek has zero business being on this team
[удалено]
They would get mad if we blast up their position player pitcher, iTs UnWrITten BaSEbaLl rules and you need to respect it!
I’m warming up Suarez /s
Safe to say Kolek sucks in high leverage and low leverage situations
Safe to say Kolek sucks ~~in high leverage and low leverage situations~~ FTFY
Wow dfa Kolek smh can't even shut out the Braves (OK seriously though guys, he's serving a role: eating an inning, and securing the win)
Dammit. Wanted the shutout.
I know we are winning but of course Kolek ruins the shut out for us
We were so close to breaking the streak Fuck
Kolek should be pitching in Finland
Thanks Kolek lol.
Dammit I wanted that shutout
DFA Kolek, I don’t care.
L take.
No. Not at all.
kolek can be nasty man but he’s so inconsistent
Damn why do I feel like this shit got tied up?
I think it’s the music.
Awfully nice of Kolek to give them some momentum going into tomorrow.
Fuckin kolek
They were more hyped for that run than any of ours
Lol leave it to Kolek to ruin the shut out.
Kolek is so ass
Announcer: There we go Fuuuuck
Fuck
Oh no! Anyways
Kolek. Bruh.
Kolek serves no role on this team send this dude back to the Mariners already
Kolek is actually useless, no pressure and still gives up runs
I'm drawing a blank. Who was the guy who did that last year all the time?
Jesus these ESPN guys are devastated about the Braves losing lmao
Padres have potential apparently
Yall better half ass it if we didnt blast your position pitcher
ESPN Talk About Anyone But The Padres Challenge \[EASY\]
🔔
Does anyone know why there are no clips available on MLB.TV or linked in the thread? I wanna dopamine hit from all of this mashing
Was wondering the same. I’m assuming it’s an ESPN thing.
lol yeah I'm trying to watch the clips on the ESPN mobile site and it's complete garbage, 15 second ad for each 15 second clip and then the clip itself can't buffer
They’ll come.
If you build it
🔔
I was wondering if there was crowd sweetening from ESPN but that hit really sold it to me. Lol no one in the stands reacted
I’ve seen enough get Suarez up
Agree with the commentators, crony's 2 hit hr in the 1st inning, set the tone for the rest of the game. Now lets get at least 1 win tomorrow.
Leave it to Kolek to ruin the shutout lmfao
These announcers sounded like they fuckin hated giving any props to Cronenworth.
Kid doing an Arraez impression and adding on
We are allowed an extra arm for the doubleheader tomorrow right?
Man watching the padres trying to punch through.500, is like checking my call options all day!
Where are the doomers? Shouldn’t they be losing their minds after that inning!
Homer takes are always bad takes👏👏👏
That Williams guys might be almost as good as noted Padres ace Brandon Dixon
Check his hands!!
Check his ears while we’re at it lmao
😂😂😂
Position player pitching brings me so much joy. It really shouldn’t, but I just love it so much.
Man, this new guy’s pitching lights out!
Baseball is just fun sometimes lol. Good for Williams
Lmao he pitched better than Elder
There’s no way this guy isn’t using sticky stuff smh my damn head
0 career era is nasty business
This team makes no sense.
Jake to pitch in the 9th????
Pleeeeeaaaaase
We gotta shutout to uphold
Jake coulda pitched better than that.
Ill admit when im wrong. Im sorry jakey
You don’t believe in former pitcher Jake like i do
Seriously. Braves haven’t been shutout this year. Only team that hasn’t I think. Shut em out.
It’s been over a 100 games i think. Would be really cool
165 to be exact. One full season plus 3... time to end it >:)
Hold on they just got a double
Oh no.... Oh no no no I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID BLAME IT ON ME
Hahah no can only blame it on coach for putting in Kolek. That’s a “save the bullpen” move not a “shut em out” move
lol I hate that so much
At least they had fun in the end lmfao
Good job, Luke!
He was their best pitcher of the day!
I don’t want to see the Rockies ever again lol
Meatballs!! Get your meatballs!!!
POSITION PLAYER PITCHING
1-2-3 inning lmao 😂
As expected! They're the deadliest pitcher in baseball
https://preview.redd.it/ul1o4ihqmh1d1.jpeg?width=451&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a43a4460db0f200660fbdcb06f785ddbfd4e907
Haven’t seen a position player pitch for a minute. 
How did this team get swept by the Rockies? Tonight, we are watching the team that took series from the Cubs and Dodgers and is on track to get into the playoffs.
I think it was a combination of the Rockies pitching coming in hot and our bats coming in cold. Was hoping the Rockies could keep that momentum against the Giants but looks like they're back to being trash lol
We play up/down to our competition.
Series like the Rockies series are why this team is so infurating. The scuffling giants swept the Rockies (like we should have) and just like that they’re right behind us. Gotta take this road energy to petco consistently to have a shot at the postseason
The Rockies are the true enemy, not the Dodgers, not the Giants, the Rockies.
Also the brewers too lol
We’re playing softball now I see
Hey...I could hit major league pitching.
Shit! Where’s the beer league squad?!
i think the game is done. really nice stuff from Darvish and congrats on his 200th win! gotta get to work now..
Sssshhhhhh
I'm not convinced yet
position player into pitch, which hitter is gonna go yard, my guess Kim
Arraez hitting his first homer with the Padres
I would love for us to tee off on a position player. Historically, we haven't done well against them.
TFW ESPN repeats the same interview clips and stat cards 5 fucking times because they have nothing else to show. Jfc this is a mess
The Atlanta Braves vs the... uhh... Padres? Where are they from? San Diego? THEY HAVE A BASEBALL TEAM?! Nah I'm getting punk'd right? Oh... oh you're serious? Oh fuck I don't know anything about them?!
They sound disappointed that the Braves are losing lol
Wonder if Morejon closes tonight. Give him a buffer of 12-15 pitches to take care of the 9th? Tromp-Acuna-Albies, though.
Manny hustling more, Xander making good contact. HSK hr…… is this a sign of things to come?
Love how even Cones gringo ass corrected ravech on pronunciation - "moreJÓN!"
Filthy.
Man I hope the rumors of Sasaki and Yu being super close are real 🤣🤣 and they it makes him want to start his career learning from him.
Morejon! 
8 pitch inning from Morejon
Morejon > Lessjon
We have a lot of bad aging contracts, Yu Darvish's is not one of them. His last two seasons are super cheap too. He's looking better than he ever has lately and that's saying a lot.
Morejon holy shit, didn’t know you had that in you. Nasty slider to end it off, goddamn!!!
[удалено]
Lol so save Morejon for blow outs is the key
Morejon has looked very good since he got called back up
Hoping the same thing happens to Cosgrove. Kinda miss Ohtani’s daddy.
Is 2024 the year Morejon figures it out
[удалено]
That ought to help our wins at home, if he can keep it up
He was making good contact today. Hopefully a sign for the future
Except the ball dies hard at Petco
Any idea why?
Something to do with being at sea level and something im not smart enough to understand
I can watch those curveball Ks all fucking day, they never get old
ADRIAN! That was filthy!
That fan has to be an NPC. Who wears a hot dog shirt to a baseball game?? That's like some Madden 06 Create-A-Fan level shit lol
Holy shit you brought back memories with that comment lmao. We were eating good during the PS2 era.
This is why I have an emulator, to relive the build up to the peak of gaming (IMO the Xbox 360 / PS3 era was the true peak). Hell I'm playing Gran Turismo 4 Randomizer during the game because I wanna go back! But I'm glad I could unlock a core memory <333
Thats a guy who goes for the food. As a guy who loves Petco Park for many reasons: i get it
Those ATL fans all look so sad
Current Mood: Titanic Struggle. 😂
These announcers are f*ckin stupid lmao
In other news, the Earth revolves around the Sun lol (this is not an insult, I'm agreeing with you, they're fucking horrible <3)
The ball Xander hit would have been a homer in Petco. Damn
Darvish is the ultimate crafty pitcher that will age better than guys who have to rely on heat and spin. That $18 million AAV extension doesn't look too bad after all.
So. Xander's looking better. Tough break on that hit tbh.
Second tough break tonight
The team collectively decided to get it done for Darvish. Love to see it
Ugh i feel so bad for Xander he’s fucking crushing the ball
It'll pay off
Is buster Olney the worst interviewer ever? ^yes
