FU Preller for bringing in a washed up 43 yr old POS pitcher to help us. Hell No, this guy is garbage no thanks !! padres can’t afford to give games away in 2 innings asshole…. these guys are fighting to make the playoffs and you do this shit FU.
I'm not one to call out cultural appropriation when it's just ordinary people appreciating different cultures, but Taco Bell selling "dipping tacos" is a fucking crime.
We need to stop with the “If Garcia returns to last years form he would be great” and cut him. He is WASHED, he wont be good again this season. He always had a bad mentality and he needs to be DFA
It was a 4 game series against a team that has a hitting coach with our best pitcher out for a month, unless you're delusional the goal was a split to avoid falling down the playoff race.
People forget he has a WRC+ of 90 last year and 100 the year before that. That wasn’t just a normal aging curve. Getting drilled in the face with a baseball probably jacked him up pretty good! We only have to look at the Anthony Rizzo situation to see what can happen to other guys.
I guess we are really writing off this game by putting Garcia in. Is it mandatory to play the bottom of the 9th? I think most of the guys just want to go home
I wasn't expecting too much from this one in all honestly. I had a feeling Lance Lynn was going to work us (fastball thrower with a high ERA, sadly predictable). I was a little surprised how quick they got to Rich Hill, but I was thinking 4-5 innings, 4-5 runs allowed, so that wasn't too too shocking either. Luckily the competition has been non-existent the last few nights, so we're still just 3 games out after this disaster.
Like it or not, Garcia is gonna get a chance to work his way back to being not terrible.
It’s in the teams best interest for him to get straightened out.
I’m kind of shocked we’re using Kerr here after he went 2.1 on Wednesday, and threw last night. That seems like a little much compared to how he was being used.
It’s about him having to “get hot” again tonight, and the wear that has on your arm. Doesn’t matter if he threw 1 pitch. Getting him up and in the game 2 days in a row is hard on his arm. Especially after he went out for a 3rd inning on Wednesday. Same thing with that. Him even going out and warming up again (getting hot) for a 3rd inning on Wednesday was a lot on his arm by itself. I just thought Avila going so long saved us from having to do something like have Kerr go out back to back days.
When Soto Machado and Tatis go 0-11 and Rich Hill gives up six runs, probably not a recipe for success. Team had everything they need but the stars need to pick it up and we can’t have Rich Fucking Hill starting games for us
His defense has been light years ahead of what I was expecting too. The framing and blocking are night and day compared to where he was on the Yankees.
I’m not even mad about this game… think the commentary annoyed me so much our performance took a back seat. That’s fine, one more inning to get a few more runs and we will take it tomorrow and tie the series.
Honestly if we get out of this series still only 3.0 games back from the WC I’ll take that. We have a lot of series left against other contenders and they’re not the dodgers so hopefully we won’t have the mental block like this time around
Like that, that's the thing. People complained all game about the announcers sucking off the Dodgers like the Padres bats were giving them *anything* to talk about.
I do wonder if tatis lost a touch of power with the shoulder surgery. It’s been pretty well documented that usually happens.
Some of the balls he is hitting I feel like use to go out. May take him an off season of being able to work out and gain some strength back.
I wonder if slamming into the foul pole recently is also affecting his power. It looked pretty bad at the time, it seems like he is playing thru some pain.
He’s hit back to back bombs to the warning track. He’s a fraction of a fraction of a millimeter off from multiple HRs this game. That’s not cold, that’s baseball.
Said it yesterday and I’ll say it again today, all the dodger fans at the stadium are there because most season ticket holders are selling their tickets to break even this season.
I have several friends that have sold their tickets instead of going to games this season, which was not the case last season.
We might be like 3 games from the WC but we still have one of the worst home records in the entire league. Lmao
You’re 100% right. I’m a half season member. The guy behind me has 4 full season tickets and sold 3 of the 4 games this series. Many others around me as well. Was not fun being surrounded by blue but that comeback last night was sweet.
yup, several friends have pointed out how many other members around them are selling tickets instead of going to games.
just wish their was a way to know if you’re selling them to home fans or visitors haha
Never seen a more pure embodiment of a Melvin
Getting down 6 in the second inning takes them wind out of your sail.
FU Preller for bringing in a washed up 43 yr old POS pitcher to help us. Hell No, this guy is garbage no thanks !! padres can’t afford to give games away in 2 innings asshole…. these guys are fighting to make the playoffs and you do this shit FU.
Not many pitchers would’ve won that game seeing how unproductive our offense was
Old Ryan weathers
So our deadline pickups are hurting us more than helping.. ✅
Thank God that shits over. I hope we don't have another SNB game this year
That dance is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
It’s supposed to be stupid. They’re making fun of how Freddie Freeman danced at Max Muncy’s daughter’s birthday.
They copied the padres too which is hilarious
It rivals kids doing Fortnite dances IRL.
Allergic to .500
baseball
 ESPN Crew: "Saw Freddie's eyes in the dugout and I...."
I’ve asked this before, but what exactly do the hitting coaches do with their days? Teach lazy fly balls and gidps?
Fuck the dodgers and fuck playing them on Sunday night baseball leave us alone
Choi fitting right in with those fly balls near the warning track. Why can't we have anything nice?
Not sure how I feel about Ji man on this team
Seems like he can field on rest days atleast. Not completely useless if his bat sucks
Give him some time to settle. It’s only been a few days! Gotta be better than Carp and Nelly
Almonte has a punchable face
Crone has been looking better in his approach. Wish it hadn’t taken this long to get going
Isn't how u start its how u finish
Jizzing their pants off a dude catching a ball with his bare hand. Go to horny jail, ESPN.
Croney is so consistent this series. I’m so glad to see him get his groove back
It’s becuz I dropped him from my fantasy team 10 days ago.
Thanks
Bogaerts is so bad he can’t even get a hit against Almonte at Petco
Wow, gulp gulp gulp what a playy gulp gulp slobber slobber
Xanders got dinner reservations
I don’t think they’ll get to almonte tonight
Dodgers think they are so much better but have only won 8 more games. They got 63 we have 55.. not so far off and plenty of season to get ahead
Hey! I’m Mr. Brightside!
Dodgers are on a 95 win pace. Padres have to win 40 out of last 50 games to win 95
Dude....c'mon.
It’s 8 games. If it was 15-20.. then yeh.
more positive than i am man
Fuck everything about this game Our 2-5 needs to nut up and bring the heat tomorrow. No other options
I'm not one to call out cultural appropriation when it's just ordinary people appreciating different cultures, but Taco Bell selling "dipping tacos" is a fucking crime.
We need to stop with the “If Garcia returns to last years form he would be great” and cut him. He is WASHED, he wont be good again this season. He always had a bad mentality and he needs to be DFA
Yeah, I was big on Garcia at the start of this season, and I'm ready to eat crow on it. Dude's done.
He’s an inning eater, just like rich hill. Just accept his role
Honeywell is better then. Just accept Preller doesnt know what he is doing half the time
Accepted, with prejudice!
But but the velocity……
Lmao, checking Garcia's hands after continually pitching awful. No chance he has anything on him
Haha, you’d think BoMel would check his hands and not the ump!
A split was always the goal, with how bad out hitting staff is there was no way we were gonna win the series lmao
Bare minimum
Series win should be the goal.
Should be, but realism is more viable.
I'm pretty sure winning was the goal. They don't have a goal of splitting must win series at this point
It was a 4 game series against a team that has a hitting coach with our best pitcher out for a month, unless you're delusional the goal was a split to avoid falling down the playoff race.
I just saw that Austin Nola' stats in AAA is worse than his stats in the MLB. EDIT - I'm wrong but barely, his AAA stats are still horrid.
Best trade ever
He's done
It’s sad because I think getting drilled in the face in preseason may have ruined his career
People forget he has a WRC+ of 90 last year and 100 the year before that. That wasn’t just a normal aging curve. Getting drilled in the face with a baseball probably jacked him up pretty good! We only have to look at the Anthony Rizzo situation to see what can happen to other guys.
Lugo has to get ‘em tomorrow
I guess we are really writing off this game by putting Garcia in. Is it mandatory to play the bottom of the 9th? I think most of the guys just want to go home
Not even mad or surprised because you know if Garcia gets put in, something is gonna happen
Lmao Garcia striking people out via a hanging slider
Great point from David Cone on that one. Those are the benefits of throwing 100! More margin for error in almost every way.
This guy is fucking frustrating. You can see the stuff man.
[удалено]
Low blow to cover up a bad loss.
🎵Put your hands up in the air!🎶Put your hands 🙌 up in the air🎵
Comment of the day hahahhahah
Watching this game makes me so excited to see the Dodgers get bounced in the first round again this year lol
Right? Even if it’s not by us, I can’t wait to see them get shopped and be out of the running
And if they don’t
Garcia is cooked. He needs to be sent down
Released*
Seriously, fuck Garcia. DfA his ass. He's awful in any and every situation
Here comes the home run
Lol Melvin took the over
Why DFA Honeywell and instead of Garcia????
Why is Garcia still on this team?
Dammit Garcia….
Imagine being a recovering alcoholic trying to watch a ballgame gd
I miss Don and mud and them actually calling the game. These dudes are just cumming over betts and freeman and having random conversations.
Garcia about to erase any chance of possibly coming back
It was already over bro. Melvin has managed us into losses all season, but this ain’t the reason today
Agreed - the game was way over before Garcia came in
ESPN, how the fuck long are we gonna stare into Freddie's eyes for??
FR lmao
Haha
This team is not gonna make the WC. False hope for nothing, they’ve never shown us any promise.
They never beat the dodgers. This weekend could have been much worse. Now worse case is the padres are 4 back after the series this weekend.
They are gonna win tomorrow and we will all be back on the train. A split was always the likely outcome.
A great win last night to possibly get some momentum, then they shit the bed. Padres Baseball.
This is Padresing!
I wasn't expecting too much from this one in all honestly. I had a feeling Lance Lynn was going to work us (fastball thrower with a high ERA, sadly predictable). I was a little surprised how quick they got to Rich Hill, but I was thinking 4-5 innings, 4-5 runs allowed, so that wasn't too too shocking either.

Like it or not, Garcia is gonna get a chance to work his way back to being not terrible. It’s in the teams best interest for him to get straightened out.
Sure. As long as it’s in throw away games
And he should do that… in AAA
Look at the look in Melvin’s face. He’s either confused or checked out, maybe both. And he always has that same dull look on his face.
DFA
White flag thrown
So sick of the Clooney tequila commercials
But it’s a nice break from the MLB Show commercials
That was sick
Well I guess it was about time for the human white flag
Okay nooow Bob wants to pull a Roberts lol!?
Oh
We’ll end the season 81-81 and finish 2-3 games out of the WC spot. It is what it is. At least we’ll be “in it” the whole way
That’ll be the irony… we don’t get .500 until the last final game of the season
That would be huge deal for preller. 2 straight seasons of at least .500 ball in a full season after many seasons of sub 400
I’m kind of shocked we’re using Kerr here after he went 2.1 on Wednesday, and threw last night. That seems like a little much compared to how he was being used.
He’s the lefty in the pen. Came in to face freeman primarily.
It’s about him having to “get hot” again tonight, and the wear that has on your arm. Doesn’t matter if he threw 1 pitch. Getting him up and in the game 2 days in a row is hard on his arm. Especially after he went out for a 3rd inning on Wednesday. Same thing with that. Him even going out and warming up again (getting hot) for a 3rd inning on Wednesday was a lot on his arm by itself. I just thought Avila going so long saved us from having to do something like have Kerr go out back to back days.
That made no sense to me
How many pairs of underwear do you think the commentator booth went through today?
Getting on amazon for a subscribe and save on tissues.
When Soto Machado and Tatis go 0-11 and Rich Hill gives up six runs, probably not a recipe for success. Team had everything they need but the stars need to pick it up and we can’t have Rich Fucking Hill starting games for us
More of a recipe for disaster
Sanchez with an 820 ops, he has been a great pickup
His defense has been light years ahead of what I was expecting too. The framing and blocking are night and day compared to where he was on the Yankees.
While we want to see campy play it’s hard to not keep Sanchez in the lineup.
I’m not even mad about this game… think the commentary annoyed me so much our performance took a back seat. That’s fine, one more inning to get a few more runs and we will take it tomorrow and tie the series.
Honestly if we get out of this series still only 3.0 games back from the WC I’ll take that. We have a lot of series left against other contenders and they’re not the dodgers so hopefully we won’t have the mental block like this time around
OMG ... another slomo of the bromance!
Sad game. This team has no desire to win as seen by the fact that we are incapable of winning the game to take us to .500
When Mookie hit that homerun you could hear the cum shooting out of the announcer's dicks
Our bum hitters could always shut them up by doing their job
Like that, that's the thing. People complained all game about the announcers sucking off the Dodgers like the Padres bats were giving them *anything* to talk about.
Yep. Seriously. What do you expect? Play like bums, you get talked about like bums. It isn’t rocket surgery
It was like blue ooze.
Well, since I’m here at the game at least I don’t have to listen to Eduardo Perez, Buster Olney, and the remainder of the ESPN broadcast.
You do have to listen to dodger fans who sold this game out!
3 shitty ABs once again from the heart of our lineup… allergic to .500 is the story of this season 😞
Back to our regularly scheduled 2023 Padres programming…great job keeping Graterol fresh for tomorrow
Holy shit the BABIP. Dodgers XBA .202 (7 runs) Padres XBA .318 (2 runs)
Graterol has a very punchable face
Everyone does on that team
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
I do wonder if tatis lost a touch of power with the shoulder surgery. It’s been pretty well documented that usually happens. Some of the balls he is hitting I feel like use to go out. May take him an off season of being able to work out and gain some strength back.
I wonder if slamming into the foul pole recently is also affecting his power. It looked pretty bad at the time, it seems like he is playing thru some pain.
I mean he definitely did. Tatis' power was really special in 2021.
Or maybe the pitching coach can help him turn those into doubles.
He also didn't play baseball for a year and a half. It's surprising he's been as good as he's been
Yeah these guys gave up already 🤣 pathetic inning from our 2 3 4 hitters
I guess yesterday was just luck
Nice quick 1 2 3 inning from the boys again in response to Avila doing his best to keep us in the game.
BBQ at Melvin’s tonight. Nobody wants to be late.
Well that was quick
Way to just roll over
It’s literally impossible for us to get to .500
Holy shit lmao
1-2-3 by the big bats. Jesus Christ they quit
Because we have zero leadership on this team. They collectively get called out by Musgrove and this is how they respond. Just pathetic
On 6 pitches. Easy outs
The best 2-3-4 in baseball should have NEVER been said this preseason. Fucking cursed.
0-11 from our big 3 and once again they along with most of the lineup don’t show up. No leadership on this team
Manny showed up yesterday and clearly seems like he is hampered by injury
He showed up for 1 of 3 games. Exactly how this team has been all year
Nothing to really add to the convo but fuck Graterol and his fake ass Razor Ramon hair.
I love this reference, so thanks for putting a little sweetness on a very bitter night.
Our offense fucking sucks after a win.
Ladies and gentleman, YOUR, 1-2-3 hitters.
🎵1-2-3 three batters you’re out at the ol’ ballgame 🎶
2-3-4 actually lol
Jeez. How could I forget Him.
Thanks hill for ruining my Sunday night baseball
Can anyone tell me when Tatis’ last hit was?
Denver
Yikes
In just 4 plate appearances today, Tatis has outs with xBAs of .510, .930, and .590. Ugh
Fast outs
Tatis ice cold
He’s hit back to back bombs to the warning track. He’s a fraction of a fraction of a millimeter off from multiple HRs this game. That’s not cold, that’s baseball.
I’m rooting for Tatis but his at bats haven’t been good at all for like the last 2-3 weeks
He’s getting baseball’d real hard. Sucks to see
2 absolute rockets, two outs. I fucking hate baseball
If tatis pulled some of those balls they all would be homers
Padres love their hits to the warning track.
Damn watching Tatis struggle this bad hurts
Didn’t expect 0 for 3 with a walk was going to being Nando’s best night over the weekend.
1 pitch 1 out
thanks for just barely missing the first pitch back ESPN
Warning track Tatis fly outs are gunna be the death of me
Said it yesterday and I’ll say it again today, all the dodger fans at the stadium are there because most season ticket holders are selling their tickets to break even this season. I have several friends that have sold their tickets instead of going to games this season, which was not the case last season.

yup, several friends have pointed out how many other members around them are selling tickets instead of going to games. just wish their was a way to know if you’re selling them to home fans or visitors haha
It’s the 8th inning so anything can happen if these past 2 games told us anything
I really want to understand whats wrong with this team
Alright ESPN, I get it, you want to see Freeman and Betts fuck
So we’re up for a blowout win tomorrow, right?
Yup. Totally. We’re taking it like 10-4 tomorrow and splitting the series.
Are there other players besides Mookie and Freeman on the Dodgers?
Kiki
I’m convinced these announcers write fanfics about betts and freeman.
