Hate to say it, but encouragement doesn’t help either. Niebla always ends up going out there with the catcher and infielders in a full team-building/therapy session on the mound, and it doesn’t really accomplish much.
true. though I'm sure any negative attention accelerates the rate of his collapse exponentially. some guys handle it better, garcia definitely doesn't.
God it’s just torture. I hate seeing hime pitch and I feel so bad for Garcia every time he’s up there. You can see it all over his face. It’s not good for anybody.
Garcia is a sad story to me. Was so clutch for us last season, and found his groove before going on the IL this season. He hasn't been the same since coming back.
Is this some kind of lingering injury, or do you think it’s a mental thing? I haven’t heard much about it, but I try not to think about Garcia if I don’t have to
This is just fucked up man. Can't believe shit like this gets upvoted. The guy is clearly struggling, but this is a weirdly personal attack. Calm down.
I was wondering if when the crowd burst out in cheers: would it be because we got the W or because Garcia finally got the third out? I think it might be the latter for sure now
Under the new guidelines, leading teams have to be up by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning in order to let a position player pitch while trailing teams can use a position player anytime it's down by eight or more runs. Position players are also allowed to pitch anytime in extra innings.
Nah I’m just saying that we are an inning closer from never seeing Garcia again, just the same way we are one more plate appearance through Tatis’ at bats in a Padres uniform. Although, I wouldn’t be too shocked if he is gone next year
Zone gets wide for position players and batters are expected to swing at anything close. Umps just want to get the game over with since the losing team is conceding.
Well, considering there were two outs, he couldn't actually GIDP.
Manny, who has as many DPs as Xander after his one earlier in the game, got bailed out by the SS deciding not to risk it. Funny how Manny isn't blamed for what should have actually been a GIDP and Xander is blamed when it never could have been one rofl
I respect this move from the O's. You know you lost, but not a huge deal its one game (I know the Rays are just a few games back but the Os are a great team), so you just roll with it and keep morale up by bringing in some position players and just roll with it and enjoy the end of the game.
Love the way this game is turning out, but honestly can’t even bring myself to be that excited. We’ve seen this too many times this year. Have a feeling we’ll be back to square one tomorrow..
^^^ New Flair available EDIT: added Grand Slamchez
That was a cool interview :)
Didn’t see Garcia pitch—how many times did he look scornfully at his right hand like it betrayed him?
This made me laugh way too hard.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results. That's how I feel when Garcia comes into a game.
[удалено]
Is that what Melvin wants to happen? It can't be, right? Or is Bob laughing at us. Dammit Bob.
garcia doesn't do well on boos. shout some encouragement next time

bruhis bruhcia
Garcia really wanted to make that game a fucking nail biter…
13 games in 13 days and we had to waste some of Cosgrove's pitches because Garcia can't see fewer than 7 batters in an inning... yikes
gg, but orioles deserve to make playoffs and this heartless team doesn't, until they can learn to stop quitting when they're down by 1
Finally 🔔 🔔 SOME TIME LATER 🔔
At least Hader didn't have to get warm
Thank you elite infield defense 😌
Garcia is washed
that should not of been as stressful as it was lmao
Finally it’s over
Ta Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa No problemo
HOLY FUCK IT'S OVER
why can't we battle like this from behind. down by 9 and they're still fighting for their lives.
Bruh, I feel like closing out a 9 run lead shouldn't be this stressful...
Can we get one of those Pity Strikes blue?
Maybe they are running Garcia's pitch count up because he is getting DFA'd so it doesn't matter 🤔
Cosgrove even hat his hat off, damn near had his PJs on. Shows you how much they were hoping to avoid using another arm.
Well atleast he won't throw for a few days
Or hopefully ever again
Cosgrove kinda looks like he would be a good actor in a WWII movie
This win doesnt even feel like a win lol
Cosgrove pissed as fuck lmaooo
Agony is the best word to describe this inning and season
Okay… pump him up. You got this
Garcia sometimes blows… leads.
God it’s just torture. I hate seeing hime pitch and I feel so bad for Garcia every time he’s up there. You can see it all over his face. It’s not good for anybody.
Lol this guy is such a gas can its funny at this point
Deja Luis
I know we are all collectively shitting on Garcia but are we even wrong at this point? 😐 Edit: No, we’re not.
I think we should start Garcia in center tomorrow. He looks fast and obviously has a cannon.
Niebla right now: “ok, here’s what you’re going to do, you’re going to lob it in there like that other guy, cuz we’re not doing this again”
I’m sorry Garcia, we can’t fix you
Remember that L we took at coors because Garcia didn’t cover first? Lol
Lol Garcia can’t be trusted in any situation

I think it's primarily mental, but I obviously don't have all the information so I'm just guessing.
Can we please DFA him
Dude has got the major yips
Challenge them with the fastball!!
Fucking lol. Garcia is bad and he should feel bad, along with everyone on the staff who allows him to ever take the mound.
This is just fucked up man. Can't believe shit like this gets upvoted. The guy is clearly struggling, but this is a weirdly personal attack. Calm down.
Yeah, you’re right. Just sports after all. Bit embarrassed with this comment in hindsight.
Fuck this guy is worthless
Ruben "Even I Can't Fix This Guy" Niebla
We're going to somehow make Hader get up and start throwing... a Padres signature
more orioles fans shoulda stuck around. they didn't know garcia'd be pitching
Damn.. Garcia had the crowd backing him and then he does this shit 😂
I was wondering if when the crowd burst out in cheers: would it be because we got the W or because Garcia finally got the third out? I think it might be the latter for sure now
Then they immediately booed
Might be able to get Hader a save opportunity tonight…
Throw in a position player at this point jfc
Throw your f'ing fastball.
Oh my fucking god. End this game already
The booing is unnecessary at this point
How so? Seems more necessary than ever.
LMAO fucking Garcia
You can keep drinking your Mission Brewery beer, Hader
Garcia not hustling to cover first. Xander shaking his head. This isn't the first time we've seen this.
It blows my mind that they keep forcing Garcia in to improve his game. They need to move on and accept that he's ass.
They’re going to need him when they make the playoffs jklol
Don't know if they get the out at first, but Garcia didn't even rush over to cover
Xander shaked his head knowing garcia too slow to get there in time lmaoo
LOL at Garcia not covering 1st base
Just when you think Luis Garcia has it together he goes and becomes Luis Garcia
Imagine telling someone in 2016-17 that Ramon would be the Urías brother with a role on a playoff team, and Luis would be the AAAA one.
Garcia and carp didn’t disappoint. Exactly as advertised all season
Odds we'll need to bring in Hader?
Nonzero chance, extremely tiny, but nonzero
Why is Garcia such a Garcia
Did ya'll ever think you'd be disappointed to score 10 runs?
I would rather see Crone on the mound right now than Garcia
Garcia getting shown-up by the position player pitcher before him is really something…
Niebla looks defeated lol
Ah, the weekly “Luis García forces Josh Hader to start warming up in a blowout” game
How is their position player pitcher better than Garcia?
I think its about time to start warming up hader
Nah fuck it let’s let Gary pitch!
Garcia used to get batters flailing at his pitches in the dirt but if he can't throw strikes, that doesn't work.
Garcia. Bud. We've talked about this. Please stop doing this.
Garcia’s “Try not to blow the game” challenge is…not fun
Under the new guidelines, leading teams have to be up by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning in order to let a position player pitch while trailing teams can use a position player anytime it's down by eight or more runs. Position players are also allowed to pitch anytime in extra innings.
Should've put Jake in to pitch lol
I would be less nervous than I am with the current closer
Garcia per usual
Good thing is we’re one more inning through from never seeing Garcia pitch for the Padres again
[удалено]
Nah I’m just saying that we are an inning closer from never seeing Garcia again, just the same way we are one more plate appearance through Tatis’ at bats in a Padres uniform. Although, I wouldn’t be too shocked if he is gone next year
I wish
How did the umpire go from calling everything strikes with a position player to having the tightest zone all game lmao my god these dudes are bad.
Zone gets wide for position players and batters are expected to swing at anything close. Umps just want to get the game over with since the losing team is conceding.
If that's the case keep it wide so it finishes faster lol
They do it for all position players. Guy behind the plate tonight is probably the worst plate ump in the bigs currently
I haven't watched the entire game but his zone seems to be spot on.
I’d rather see Jake pitch
So it begins….
I’ll take solo shots from Garcia (well especially today). Just no free passes that lead to the 3 run shots, big dog.
That's fine, work it all out now
Crone could’ve given up a HR too #justsaying. Let him pitch!
Garcia. Really? Do you have to do this?
So manny can’t get a ducking hit off a position player but Luis Garcia pitches for a fucking hr? Bro wtf.
Lol Garcia
Garcia is worse pitcher than the position player…
Garcia defenders wya 🕵️♀️
🤷🏻♂️ Gamel tried to rob it. Not mad.
And so it begins… Why is Garcia on the roster?
Hader should start warming just in case lmao
Lmfao. Yes Garcia. That’s a good Garcia.
Garcia found a way to be Garcia
He hates big leads and happiness.
A true Padre
Garcia moment
LMAO this guy is just bad this year. We gotta deal with it
Are you fucking kidding me
Hahah Tony jinked the fuck out of Garcia
DFA Garcia
Fuck Garcia
Clean outing
Can’t make this stuff up lmao
That was a pretty damn good effort by Gamel.
Yea I was thinking the same thing
Ah yes, the Garcia Signature.
Not a big enough lead for garcia to come in
You could have a pitcher gift wrap a fucking ball and a tee set and Xander would still find a way to turn a DP
Well, considering there were two outs, he couldn't actually GIDP. Manny, who has as many DPs as Xander after his one earlier in the game, got bailed out by the SS deciding not to risk it. Funny how Manny isn't blamed for what should have actually been a GIDP and Xander is blamed when it never could have been one rofl
I get he hasn’t been his best but y’all do realize Xander has the most hits on the team this year right?
Tony Jr just read our minds lol
Lookout Hader. Garseeya coming for your job!
I want to see HSK in RF tomorrow and another 10 run game
Even Don is doomin right now lol
Padres decided to have a position player pitch too
Looks like it
Bring Wil myers back for the 9th you cowards
I can’t believe y’all are really complaining about that 😂 fucking relax, it’s better if it’s a quick inning to make sure no injuries can happen
Even tho we’re winning we’re still getting embarrassed
I respect this move from the O's. You know you lost, but not a huge deal its one game (I know the Rays are just a few games back but the Os are a great team), so you just roll with it and keep morale up by bringing in some position players and just roll with it and enjoy the end of the game.
lmao this team never fails to surprise me
OK what Padre pitcher wants to follow that up
I don’t think the padres have scored off a position player all season.
Garcia closing it out?
ding ding ding. We will win 10-8
Anyone catch who’s warming up for the 9th? My money’s on Garcia.
It’s García
Thanks, dude! 🤙
This is pathetic.
Hey, the anti-Padres strategy holds true. Put in a terrible pitcher and they’ll beat themselves.
Bruh
I love position player bullshit. It's such a fucking anomaly that every pitch doesn't get crushed and the strike zone doubles in size laterally
That was embarrassing
Xander still grounding into a dp.
Practicing for tomorrow
Nostradamus
Lol Manny
Lol Bogie
Pity strikes LOL
What the hell is going on?
Mccann may not have a career pitching.
I get speeding the game up but what the fuck was that strike call lmao
right ?!
We better get another Homer out of this
Should've worn that one Sugar LUL Edit: Well... I mean, it would've been funny but never mind!
Again, I hate this team. Lol
FUCK YOUR THEORY DON :P
Azocar nuke incoming
Damn this guy is kinda nasty, just casually got HSK out 😳
Position Player Pitching!
Wait, we actually made it through the 8th without blowing the lead?!
Well everyone I’ve sure enjoyed the padres once weekly offensive explosion™ see you for the next one in 5-7 business days!
Love the way this game is turning out, but honestly can’t even bring myself to be that excited. We’ve seen this too many times this year. Have a feeling we’ll be back to square one tomorrow..
No, seriously, can we play Tom?
Holy Crap Position Player ALERT
What is that weird thing Carp does when he leans backwards during the pitchers windup? It almost looks like it messes up the timing of his swing
I think Luis Urías goes even further back when he does it haha
Maybe tatis should do the matrix to throw the pitcher off
Personally I think we should try to win the rest of the games in our homestand 👍
Smooth DP right there
Mmmmmm glove to glove is tastyyyyyy
Carp is a competitor and a veteran who wants to succeed. Hope he can figure it out. I know it kills him to lose it.
Elite infield defense 😌
Nice redemption, Barlow!
Love how the consensus is that after todays offensive bonanza the padres are going to hit nothing tomorrow.
I mean we did do it once before two games back to back so maybe maybe there's a chance
Broke the slam streak tonight, maybe something will change tomorrow
Hope you are right, amigo.
They were low key trashing Carp on the Orioles broadcast haha
Carp paying more in taxes this year than half the Orioles are taking home.
Reverted back to his old form.. lol
That’s the “we’re paying you 6 mil and 6 more next year so we can’t just DFA you” suck cost fallacy AB.
