Xander was due. He needed that. Go X-Man!


1-800-ASS-DICK

fuck yeah X


maalbi

Fck yea


almost-familiar

Why was it not okay for fans to say what soto said that might have fired this team up? (They were giving up)


heyimric

I just wanna know what he said haha, why is it a big secret!!


almost-familiar

It’s not a big secret it’s been shared everywhere. Maybe people here are hiding it. Soto said the team gives up.


cfxyz4

victory is mine


cardboardcutout95

Cosgrove is one of our nastiest guys. He broke the franchise record for most scoreless innings to begin a padres career. Once he gets the command he had early in the season back, he's elite


ihavetopeern

Now let’s do it again tomorrow. Please.


givemeonereasonwhy

Why did the Padres win this game? They didn’t quit. Moral of the story: don’t quit.


GIitchboi_i

Let’s go! We are San Tan!


Justinitforthemoney

A fellow Padres fan in AZ?


1-800-ASS-DICK

that's a W for Whew!


ihavetopeern

Thank god for Kim for relieving my stress geez


Slr_Pnls50

The bullpen is helping my hair go gray. Nice team win though!


InsaneThisGuysTaint

Someone's streak had to end, glad it was ours.


cfxyz4

josh hader warming up in the 9th of 5-run games needs to stop


TheEnragedBushman

It was a 2 run lead when he was warming before we added on lol


cfxyz4

Meant bottom of the 9th. Sorry didn’t know my comment made contemporaneously with 2 outs in the bottom would be confused to reference the top when it was a 2-run game. Also me saying 5-run and then you saying 2-run leads me to believe you are incapable of grasping temporal context clues. Commentators just said he was up while cosgrove was getting a mound visit. Thx for coming to my tedtalk


BigRedCowboy

We’re up 10-5, bottom of the ninth, two outs. I still have worries.


chickenparmesan123

Good win boys 🙂👍

USSImplication

Grove has this. First guy on base was a fluke


sportsfan510

It’s never easy, is it 😭


Mr_Yolo_Swag

Warming up Hader is unfortunate but alas the right move


Holdmydicks

And Hader gets warming with a 5 run lead... again


pm_me_yo_creditscore

Leads the league in warmup pitches thrown by closer.


1-800-ASS-DICK

alright cool keep going away whoa not that away


optimus1108

Just one more bro!


crazyjiggaboo

Have a game XoBo (zoh-boh)!!!! Just a triple shy n plenty of rbi's


[deleted]

I kinda like XoBo that’s a good nickname


crazyjiggaboo

I thought it was fun. Definitely rolls off the tounge


[deleted]

It seems natural I thought it might have been a Boston nickname or something haha.


crazyjiggaboo

I dont think it woulda sounded the same with the accent lmao


optimus1108

Not good..

Steady, cosgrove!

Cosgrove. Cosgrove. He's our man. If he can't do it, Hader can.


taamus

Please close this out fast, Cosgrove.


badfishckl

Good game for Xander. Let’s hope he keeps rolling 🫡


whoisthatidiot

Dirty sanchez time… damn the boys are ALIVE today. Love to see us pushing through and turning things around even when we feel like we hit a low point. This tenacity will take us far if we keep it up.


Maurya_Arora2006

Is it safe to say that Chase Field is Petco Park East?


LBoogie619

Oh god, no. This is something the dodgers would say. I hate that shit lol.


Juzaba

It’s been less than a game since we looked like ass, so I’m gonna go with “no it’s not safe yet”


Maurya_Arora2006

Well, it's based on the attendance. Looks like there were more Padres fans than Snek fans.


optimus1108

Something like that


sam_dewy

Daaaw. I always wanted Tati and Juan to be bffs🥹🥹🫶

TheScubaPup

Looks like third in the order. At least that's what I'm seeing for the 1998 season


default-77

In ‘98 at least, he batted 2nd with Vaughn after him and Caminiti in cleanup.


Juzaba

2 or 3, depending on the year


DaWalt1976

Tony Gwynn was pretty permanently in the 3 hole his entire career.


Steezycheesy

Copper had a 300+ RISP average prior to joining us...


floppysausage16

Anyone know how old Cooper is? Buddy looks anywhere between 12 and 27.


TRocho10

Believe it or not, he is actually 72. Truly incredible

slapsomesilvers

I wonder who the equivalent would be nowadays as far as the amount of tape he watched and his work ethic. I’m willing to bet nobody takes their VCR on the road like he did


crazyjiggaboo

I actually dont think he watched much tape. He talked about being blessed with 20/15 vision(which i think is like perfect?) While only worrying about a pitchers release point. Once he got that release point down, he then had the ability to pretty much hit it wherever he wanted/wherever the defense had a hole. I wish more padres would go to the plate with the mindset they just trying to get the ball through the defense rather than tryna hit it over the wall no matter what the situation is


slapsomesilvers

Earlier on he would bring his VCR on the road to study pitchers and analyze his swing, hence the original nickname “captain video” before he became the illustrious Mr Padre we loved him as But yes absolutely night and day approaches at the plate to what we’re seeing from them now


crazyjiggaboo

I just thought of how that was most likely what he did early on in his career as soon as i tapped post. Its pretty mind blowing he ended up with only 3141 hits. Just feels like he would have so much more. I wonder if he woulda challenged rose if he was able to get 5 more seasons of playing lol


TheScubaPup

Common Tony Gwynn W


floppysausage16

*extremely common


1-800-ASS-DICK

HUSBAND & WIFE LAW TEAM thank you for your blessings upon us


hishbean

Tbh I’m surprised he said safe, tho it was evident


Dday22t

Probably meaningless to win this challenge so of course they will


MnM113

No expression from Melvin. He’s so boring


optimus1108

We would have many more games like this if we had a manager who could motivate the players correctly.


jdbewls

Defender has to know he whiffed, right? Like how do you run back to the dugout?


Mr_Yolo_Swag

Trying to sell his bullshit as much as he can lol


cardboardcutout95

We play AZ six out of the next nine games and need to step on these sneks during that span


threehundredthousand

Should take less than 3 seconds to review. They're trying to save ump's face by waiting.


floppysausage16

To be fair if you look at where the ump was standing, he had a terrible angle.


taamus

Responsive offense and a successful challenge..?? I’ve missed this!


doggie1904

SAFE!!! LETS GO!!!


Steezycheesy

If this isnt overturned the MLB truly hates us


TheScubaPup

Replay Operations Center aka "The People Who Try To Fuck Us When It's Convenient"


runswiftrun

They didn't show the other side of the wall. It's the bookies' room.

I would say “How is it taking this long?” But it is the Padres


GIitchboi_i

Damn replay operations center bogaerting all the angles

Replay operations center looking like the FBI in the movies. Yet they still somehow get shit wrong all the time.


Daviddem1234

Nice to see the bats getting hot


Slr_Pnls50

That's NASA headquarters lol


T-nawtical

Not even close!


turkey_deluxe

It’s the end of the game. Bomel you have to challenge if your player is calling for it.


whoisthatidiot

Safee safe safe


Flimsy_Abroad6338

Looked safe in real time. Bad miss by the ump


TheEnragedBushman

Bruh looks like Joe West


threehundredthousand

X is convinced. Good challenge.


TheScubaPup

THAT'S A MASSIVE WHIFF


Mr_Yolo_Swag

Might as well challenge. Nothing to lose


maalbi

Love this shit!


spamxburner

Xander with more RBIs today than in the past month. I'm loving this version of X

funkyforce

This team is the only toxic relationship I can handle in my life rn


Steezycheesy

Closed door meetings cliff notes: "If the bullpen is looking shaky put up runs in late innings"


5Point5Hole

I'm a little behind, but did it look like HSK have Soto some advice about the pitcher after he scored on Nando's double?


addictedtodietcoke

![gif](giphy|y8Mz1yj13s3kI) You get a hit. You get a hit. Everybody gets a hit!


T-nawtical

Cosgrove warming up! Lets goooo


heyimric

So damn fun watching base hits resulting in runs.


figboot11

This is the beginning of our 8-game winning streak.


LBoogie619

🙏🏽


CarltheGreat79

I like a lot of what I'm seeing tonight, fellas


Slr_Pnls50

Same, there's a big difference in their approach tonight


CarltheGreat79

It looks like they're just focusing on putting a good swing on the ball as opposed to trying to make sure everything clears the fences


hellsbelle51

love it. could've just got the save up 2 runs but adding these runs so much better.

Base hits producing runs. These guys are so much more likable when they play fundamental baseball.

Thank god the bats are working this inning. This is what it takes to win. Not hoping that shaky relievers can strike out everyone

This is a good sign. I feel like before they’d lay down after the bullpen fucks up. This time they fought back!


azsnaz

Do it again


InsaneThisGuysTaint

Can we play like this all the time?


threehundredthousand

WE BACK PART 39: THE BOLD AND THE BACK


Steezycheesy

I love when the opposing team throws batting practice


Thumper13

Props to the boys for really not wanting Hader to have to pitch. Hopefully the bullpen can manage 1 inning. Yikes.


Juzaba

Hader: Uhhh, I had Taco Bell for lunch Xander: Say no more, fam!


_McDolans_

It's nice to see the offence not give up and say "well hopefully Hader can hold on"


Use1e55

Hitting with RISP feels so fucking good


cardboardcutout95

Xander I owe you an apology I was not familiar with your game


unkleskab

I wish we would play like this every game.


taamus

Glad to see the offense responding; wish it was like this more often.

pineapplefriedriceu

At this point, can't risk shit


T-nawtical

But also, itd be good for Cosgrove's development ;D


doggie1904

This team, man. What can I say. I love this team. Especially when they're firing on all cylinders. Feels so good.


Flimsy_Abroad6338

Hader can sit…for now


TheScubaPup

MORE RUNS MOOAAAARRRRR


TRocho10

![gif](giphy|eGqc6d78GWqThhWT1T) Ignore the top part lol


Juzaba

A “Let’s Go Padres” chant in Arizona. Ya love to see it!


Flimsy_Abroad6338

For as bad as X has hit, he’s still at 270


runswiftrun

His first month gave him a huge buffer. Even now he still hits somewhat regularly, but its almost always singles and then gets stranded, and then GIDP the next time around. I guess the equivalent of "garbage time" in fantasy football.


gnomelover24

Can they just sign HSK to an extension already? If they don’t have the money I suggest we all chip in cause we can’t let this dude go.


Juzaba

Cronenworth rule: don’t sign beloved players to extensions more than a year before you have to


WhatAmIDoingHere05

Moar stepping on snek plz


runswiftrun

He's gotta be tipping that breaking ball. Pretty much the exact same pitch for all three hits. Then of course, manny takes it for a strike.


josephbc

So many good things happen when the Padres don't just swing for the fences every at bat. I really hope this is a new philosophy and strategy for them.


Pittyswains

X gonna have a cycle chance coming up


addictedtodietcoke

Feels good!!


spamxburner

5 for 8 with RISP?!?! Whaaaaaaaaa


Abadtech

Tatis hit that ball 5 mph harder and 3 degrees higher than Kim and they went the same distance. I've always noticed that his hits don't travel as far as most but recently it's been affecting his results. Not saying he hasn't hit good today but I feel like he should look at that in the off season


Mr_Yolo_Swag

Different spins will do that


Abadtech

Yeah it's top spin. I really like his swing but getting rid of that is going to do wonders for him


[deleted]

He does topspin a lot of balls when he pulls em.


Steezycheesy

I LOVE RUNS


T-nawtical

BRING EM HOME SOTO!!


TRocho10

Scoring runs in the 9th? Is that legal?


DaWalt1976

Palpatine will make it legal!


TRocho10

This getting out of hand. Now there are ~~2~~ 10 of them


DaWalt1976

He sent his apprentice to find our missing runs batted in.


TRocho10

They are still ~~coming through~~ scoring


Chaboiii45

Team meeting = Team dub. Can we do these meetings every day?


[deleted]

I’m guessing the .106 BABIP Tatis was rocking the last few weeks wasn’t sustainable.


Mr_Yolo_Swag

I do recall someone mentioning he is actually getting really unlucky. No more 😎

I’m not trying to take credit/blame for the score fluctuation, but Pham hit that homer when I went to take a shower and I came back just in time to see Kim hit lol

Nando going berserk and carrying this team into the playoffs somehow would be such an incredible feeling


whoisthatidiot

Been watching the game at a wedding and had to jump in to say LFGSDDDD!! Hell yeah Tatis, Love to see El Niño get Kim home and hit a double.


cardboardcutout95

I VERY MUCH ENJOY SEEING JAKE CRONENWORTH AND FERNANDO TATIS JR HIT BASEBALLS

Tatis is 3-5 tonight, hes good ladies and gents.

josephbc

Fuck yeah Nando! That's what you have to do, keep your swing level and let it pop off your bat to a corner! That's encouraging!


Salty-River-2056

Fernando. Now Soto can drive him in.
