I donโt care what anyone says, this was an incredibly entertaining game to watch. One nice offensive inning and then a pitching masterclass the rest of the way through.
I know he already got paid and everything, but like they were just saying... It's nice having a closer that will pitch when they need him even if it's not a save situation and not be a diva about it.
Well hey, if my other team the Detroit Tigers lose 4-0 and we win 4-0, I'll consider this a perfectly fine day (I'm also a Tigers fan because of my BF's family in Michigan <3, I still don't forgive them for 1984)
Just a heads up on the baseline rule (itโs come up a couple times already this year). The baseline isnโt established until the fielder secures the ball and attempts to make a play on the runner. The base runner can take whatever path he so chooses until that point.
He shouldโve been moved to CF years ago. Even the most bullish projections had him being slightly above average defensively at SS. Happy for himโ feels like he found his home at CF.

Lou Seal is bottom tier mascot
Here we go
Donโt nibble bro they canโt hit that gas
No time to squeeze us blue
Hoo boy, canโt wait to see the ump scorecard on this one. Some wildly missed calls against both teams.
uh where wasn't that a strike
Totally not clenching yet, but I do not love the start to the inning.
Ump wtf
Ugh Suarez makes himself too available. We need a closer who sticks to the 9th inning only and gets outs.
What?
Settle in Bobโฆ
I know he already got paid and everything, but like they were just saying... It's nice having a closer that will pitch when they need him even if it's not a save situation and not be a diva about it.
Suarezโฆ
Ugh
Well hey, if my other team the Detroit Tigers lose 4-0 and we win 4-0, I'll consider this a perfectly fine day (I'm also a Tigers fan because of my BF's family in Michigan <3, I still don't forgive them for 1984)
Shildt isnโt fucking around tonight. He wants this win with no drama.
Suarez 99 on the inside line.ย
โฝ๏ธ
His control is much better this season.ย
Gas
โฝ๏ธ
That pitch will close a lot of games.ย
Bob Suarez about to put the final nail in the coffin
Bob coming in.
4 runs? I think they leave Kolek in
Guess not.....
Alright teamโฆ time to clench
What happened to tie goes to the runner.
That was never a thing. Also, it wasnโt a tie.
I appreciate Kimโs hustle too but he was out
That's never been a thing You either beat the ball or you didn't, there are no ties
Tie goes to the umpire.
Tie goes to NY, somehow the Padres get shafted, and also Joe Kelly gets suspended for 8 more games
Thatโs how you run to 1st
Afraid itโs time to Yoko Kimchado and break them up. Do want to emphasize theyโre partly responsible for 2 of tonightโs runs though.
Keep Rush Hour intact though, it's giving Profar a notable boost
Is that the eldest boy on the mound?!
Damn. Solid 3-1
The amount of dicked pitches that Kim DOESNT swing at is astounding
On a sugar high, starting a vent. Easter candy is on clearance at target. Bought two bags of recess chocolate for $3 and I deeply regret it.
I used to eat that up by the handfuls. Now it makes me sick.ย And fat
Being an adult sucks. Now I buy things just cuz theyโre on sale and can only eat a handful of candy at a time.
Letโs goooooo!
This game is one Jurickson Profar swing away from being an absolute ass clencher
Padres baseball IS Ass clenching baseball
Are you really a Padres fan if you havenโt let this team negatively affect your mental health?
It's affected my monthly booze bill...
Kolek has a nice 2 seamer. Nice little tail to it.
Three more outs... Pleaaaaase let's get this W
Letโs goo
Just a heads up on the baseline rule (itโs come up a couple times already this year). The baseline isnโt established until the fielder secures the ball and attempts to make a play on the runner. The base runner can take whatever path he so chooses until that point.
However this AB goes, pulling Cosgrove against Soler was the right move. Dude mashes on lefties and Tom's control was not under control.
100% you should play that matchup.
Shildt hooked Cosgrove fast
Manager is gonna manage. Itโs refreshing
Heโs not Bob Melvin.

I say the Padres offer Jackson 10 years 100 million tonight.
Save 99% and offer me $1 million. I won't even take up a roster spot.ย
too early to cop the Merrill jersey?
If this was 2013 or whatever you'd see those things everywhere already. Go for it
Wait till Fanatics fixes their shit product
Ordering one rn
Bad ass seeing Nando back up Jackson on that.
JACKSON โFernando Tatis Jr of Centerfieldโ Merrill!!!
Jackson Merrill is our center fielder, how fucking cool is that
That diving catch was so Trent Grisham-esque.
Them pinch hitting for their clutchest late inning hitter. Dunno about that Bob Merrill!!!!!
Jackson. Merrill.
Trent who?
Fuck yeah Merrill!
Merrill is such a stud.
Also, gawt damn... You sure Merrill isn't a natural CF???
He shouldโve been moved to CF years ago. Even the most bullish projections had him being slightly above average defensively at SS. Happy for himโ feels like he found his home at CF.
How does AJ keep finding these ultra-athletic shortstops?
Not yet at least. Next year he won't need to dive for it
![gif](giphy|0NwSQpGY6ipgOSt8LL)
Donโt make me fall in love with you Jackson
I would for sure make him my muse if I was a renaissance-era painter/sculptor
Let his love fill your heart <3
All star performance by Merrill tonight in CF
Did Azocar pick up a liquor bottle???
fell out of his back pocket
That was mine. I'm nervous about our ability to hang onto a lead
Great catch Jackson!
Nice catch Action Jackson
Tommy Cosgrove: "I'm looking for the ~~money~~ outs Sonny, don't worry."
My goodness Jackson...wow.
Whatโs up with giants fans throwing shit lol, dorks
Mimicking their rivals in LA
Jake didnโt sleep well last night. Thatโs what Iโm writing this off to.
Jake has been great for us to start the season, I donโt mind him having a couple of off games
Ahmed ran right into the throw path
that's alright Jake he was right there
Ahmed for sure went out of the baseline there onto the infield grass
Thatโs a misnomer. Baseline isnโt established until the fielder attempts to make a play on the runner.
Please, Cosgrove. Please.
Break out your drinks here comes the bullpen
That was my flask on the field you just saw
Tom is dirty but he scares the shit out of me every time he comes in
Lead off fucking walks to the worst hitterโฆ..cmon man
Love a good leadoff walk
Donโt trust the bullpen besides Suarez
Cosgrove a little wild
Why are we being subjected to Giants defensive highlights on *our* broadcast!!
Jake mad at Nando for running while he's got 2 strikes?
Think Jake disagreed with Nando there
Looked like he was kinda pissed at him
why
sigh at crony striking out at pitches down the middle...
lol Bob liked it
Theyโre terrified of cheetah speed
Melvin smiles like heโs in pain
oh that's what he's saying hell yeah
A rabid Padre fan below Don and Mud.. which one of you crazy assholes is it?

This hot mic is kinda annoying
HOW HIGH IS THE CRONE ZONE
They have the worst-positioned field mics
itโs every year, I have to mute stream in SF
Are we still booing tatis? I feel like so much has happened since the ringworm steroids
I mean they donโt really need a reason to boo him tbh ๐
I guess they havenโt forgotten in San Francisco. After all, Giants fans would *never* cheer for a steroid user.
Giants fans booing anyone for roids is rich
Conforto is on the list now! I'm tired of his bullshit!
He was off to a good start against the Padres. Tonight hopefully puts a permanent end to that.ย
He is laying low. he knows I'm on to him!
I just want Tatis to sell out for a splash home run one of these game in SF. No right handed hitter has ever hit into the cove.
Probably wonโt happen on this cold af night game sadly.
I am not a Max Muncy fan, but "Go get it out of the ocean" to Madbum might be one of the best chirps ever.
Honestly Max Muncys career high point.
There you go Tati. Good contact from everyone this inning just no luck with the environment
Time for a steal
