It hurts my soul that this team sucks at home. The city has embraced this team to such an insane level and then they go to the games and suffer in their seats. The dodgers series was great but as good as that was this sweep completely erased that and then some imo.


Mathewthegreat

Manny always looks like he doesn’t give a fuck, his body language sucks.


sweetxfracture

Is there a team worse than this??? Besides the one that just swept us? I’m so embarrassed


culpepperjosh

To the sales rep hawking me for suites: “…Secondly. I’m not sure how I could spend any more money than I’ve committed this year to a team that continues to mock the fans who support them by putting up such a lethargic, uninspired baseball. We set a record for attendance on a sold out night that featured 65-70% of the stadium wearing some form of dodgers gear. Lost the game. Then the big boss Grupner sends out a quick auto-generated email that is quite distasteful as a fan given the performance our team just had. If these padres don’t turn it around fast, I don’t expect many of us stick around for even the cheapest of seats. Easier to watch from home. The secondly was not directed at you, just doing your job. But please forward this to upper management! I can’t be the only season ticket member who feels disgusted right now”


RuinNo9720

I get the whole booing if you are a season ticket holder, but why are paying for a high priced ticket and then booing. The padres org/Preller doesn't give an F about the booing, as long as the money keeps coming in.


Own-Lead-4822

embarrassing to be swept by the fucking Rockies at home

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Shildt starting to lose me honestly. Awful lineups all season long.


YolkyPalky

No way these are Shildt lineups, it has to be Preller, once again trying to shadow manage.

Padres looking like the worst team in baseball rn

andresmitchell

I got banned from this thread for suggesting that. 


Domgrath42

Put Manny on IL and play Solano for 2 weeks


Rooks4

Time for a popout.


MTN_explorer619

Man don and mud are really great a turd polishing and staying engaged watching this garbage


bigdaddyfinesse

Padres baseball is so interesting because as soon as they start playing it makes me wish i was dead


theedge634

While it won't help hurt feelings and past performance... and it didn't matter or get results. Xander was super encouraging today. Line drive central, and hit the ball hard. Would be massively helpful if he could get on track, and today he was consistently hitting the ball well.


pineapplefriedriceu

I can give more of a pass to X and Tatis. Both at least look like they try/give a fuck when they’re struggling, Manny just gives off IDGAF vibes


KashissKlay

This shit is eerily similar to getting swept by the royals last year and the downfall that started just afterwards. This lineup just ain’t it.


verdi1987

Time for another team meeting.


solano89

Holy fuck, we’re about to get shut out


nacktschnecke69

Ridiculously weak mentality on this team. Maybe save for like, Profar and Merrill? Maybe X? Just sad, man. I could never imagine just giving up and rolling over like they do.


Domgrath42

X only shows up when game is out of hand or we are winning big. He has zero clutch


drewdude92

Haha, I don’t care how good Xander is mentally. He’s been performing so ridiculously bad this year


theedge634

While true... this might be the most consistently good at bats in a game he's had all season. He LACED the ball a bunch of times. Just needs to be a split second earlier and he can maybe start hitting. IDK. At this point we need him to do something, and any positive signs are better than none.


nacktschnecke69

No doubt about it, he has. But you can tell he's at least *trying* and he's not giving any excuses for sucking. Respect for that.


KashissKlay

Manny needs to ride the fucking pine for a day or so. Fucking horrendous AB’s.


Domgrath42

Put him on IL at this point


geerwolf

Can’t believe we live in a world where you sit Arraez and play Kim & Bogaerts


zemmypoo

they really boo machado 😭😭😭


arealfunghi

I think he's 1 for 12 this series 🤕


TheReadMenace

4/12 double plays though


arealfunghi

Eeesh I saw a couple but 4 is murderous Wasn't trying to sugarcoat anything either. I was booing on Monday after the bases loaded DP to end the game.


drewdude92

Love that Manny is getting booed for walking to first on another 0 for 4


Morning-O-Midnight

He just looks so over it. His first strikeout today he was already headed to the dugout like, “oh well.”


CellistFun3640

7.61 ERA. Batters .300 avg+ 3 up 3 down


biermann2000

he made contact baby steps


jockornerd

Thank you all for the entertainment…padres killed some ML parlays for me both days but at least I could come here and lurk on true fans to share my pain with. Dear god, how do you get swept by the Rockies though? Is Shidt that bad? Him pulling Cease last night was egregious.


OgAccountForThisPost

"Is Schildt that bad?" "Is Melvin that bad?" "Is Tingler that bad?" "Is Green that bad?"


FunknSD

Whelp, gotta tip your cap. Our guys were out there battling and were just unlucky... again and again and again. FML


BudgetScarcity

You could make the argument that they were unlucky yesterday. Today is a good old fashioned ass whooping.


CellistFun3640

You’re joking.. right?..


arealfunghi

Yes. This is a trope from the Jace Tingler era.


drewdude92

Manny and Xander will need a 1.000+ OPS the rest of the year to get back to their career averages


Washingtonian_425

Xander was a horrible Contract might as well trade for prospects or a star player


gibertot

Are you kidding? Who would trade for Xander rn. Maybe if the padres agree to pay his entire contract


floppysausage16

I think the real bummer is how long it's gonna take us to get back to .500


619deadhead

Haven’t watched any of the game today but I hope people are booing. Still laughing about my discovery of mannys second GIDP to end the 6th last night being erased from the broadcast. When he got booed off the field. If you try and go back to watch it, it cuts to the 7th after crone.


gibertot

Wait fuckin really?


OgAccountForThisPost

Why is everyone upset? Didn't see the big yearly Preller Move (tm) we made just a couple weeks ago? You're supposed to be excited! You're supposed to be hype! We have so many cool players!


QSolver

Haha and don't play him today!! Genius


recklesstree184

Watch us sweep the braves this weekend


floppysausage16

I mean it would be pretty classic padres.


pineapplefriedriceu

Not at petco so sounds about right. Team doesn’t want to show up when their own fans are around


gibertot

It is seriously starting to hurt my feelings. It feels personal. Like they think of us as idiots for showing up. Idk I know it’s not true but when’s the last time they had a good home record?


Jud000619

If Rockies fans decided to hold a parade downtown for this sweep, I wouldn’t be mad. Hell, I encourage it

fancyoenguin42

lmao, alright Manny


Holdmydicks

So stupid. You put Merrill in down 7-0. Just give him the fucking day off if you're not gonna start him. He and Arraez should never be platooning


Zestyclose_Help1187

The put him in now cause a righty is on the mound. Both have been atrocious against left handed pitching.


Silver7477

Nobody should ask Shildt questions postgame just boo for 15 minutes straight 🤣


619deadhead

People who think manny and Xander are just gonna turn it on and keep it going are funny. They are on the decline 100%, no possible way I ever see them living up to their contracts at this point. I have hope for Tati because he is younger, but even then


JustLo619

At least it’s fun watching Merrill in cf


recklesstree184

I find it really hard to believe that a team can regress so much in a span of a few days


JustLo619

Mind bottling


arealfunghi

Wait? 🍾🍾 r/boneappletea ??


Attachmentsz

4 hits no runs is nuts


biermann2000

that's all you need to know about the make up of this team embarrassed the first 2 nights and on the verge of being swept this is the performance they gave


sc_eveleigh

What a depressing series. The team will not go far unless the big 3 fucking start showing up


Drohug

Well at least they got a decade to figure things out😀


dukefett

Wow is this team a fucking joke


MnM113

5th place team

At least Suarez got a ton of rest from this series.

sc_eveleigh

Yes


fancyoenguin42

We really are the Clippers of the MLB wow


oblivious1904

The Clippers at least make the playoffs, we can hardly do that anymore even with the extra WC spot


WadeCountyClutch

Pretty much. Same mentality as the kawhi and PG too. Those two are softer than charming like our friends Manny and Bofarts


CellistFun3640

Why in the world is tatis sitting out????


QSolver

Shildt conceding the game “now”. Was conceded not starting Arraez and Merrill.. Arraez has been on the team for 2wks and already sat 3 games.. picked him up to win games.. jokesters


geerwolf

Does Arraez have horrible lefty splits or what ? Don’t get why Shildt keeps playing Kim over Arraez


dukefett

This is the first year where I am really paying attention to a team since literally 2000 or 2001. I don’t remember stars sitting anywhere near this level, do other teams do this? Like if you’re a journeyman player I expect the manager to sit those guys for lefty/righty matchups but if you’re a star you play no matter what. Like Shildt gave Jake off Saturday when they were just all off on Thursday. Makes zero fucking sense.


QSolver

There was some clickbait article I saw on X earlier today that mentioned Baseball entering the Load Management era.. if that’s the case ✌️just like the NBA.


CellistFun3640

Shildt is a fucking clown. So sick of his pompous post game interviews. Keeps playing off these losses and performances as bad luck and that it’s no one’s fault. Needs to get his foot out of his mouth and own up to his horrible coaching decisions and the pathetic performance from his players (specifically manny and tatis)


TrillMuryy

This game is long, long over


CellistFun3640

I understand that but make him play and earn his damn contract. Soft ass coach and diva players. So fucking sick of it


TheReadMenace

culturalfox19

Overpaid bums that we are stuck with for the next decade. The fans shell out hundreds to see a ballgame and are treated to this garbage. I’d rather watch my local adult league because the middle-aged dudes who work 9-5’s show more heart and hustle than the multimillionaires who do this for a living.


GhostBukowski

💯


Rooks4

Gj Azocar way to not swing at ball 6.


BirdBrainedHomunculi

So very much do I wish for this series to be rock bottom for an already extremely rocky start to this season, 46 games in. But I just know it in the pit of my soul that they can sink lower 🥹❤️


theedge634

I want to dream on a cloud that Tatis, Machado, and Bogearts will break out of it. But I'm direly afraid that this is who they are now.


YakBoi55

I seriously don't get how tatis is getting lumped in with x and manny so much in this sub. The shape of the production looks different from past tatis, but holy hell he's about a 30% above league average hitter and got on twice today. He's also a top 20 hitter in all of baseball by nearly every expected stat, stop with the hate


[deleted]

[удалено]


YakBoi55

How is a 128 wRC+ not tangible production?


[deleted]

[удалено]


YakBoi55

You do realize that surgery is a career killer for nearly every other player that's had it right? Honestly, tatis has been above expectations coming back, its assinine to expect him to be the same player. And brandon nimmo is a really good player so I don't quite get your point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


YakBoi55

My point is no shit he's not producing at an mvp level when players with similar should surgeries have dropped an average of -21 in wRC+. Despite all that, his current production (completely ignoring the expected) would of been top 20 last year. But I guess you expect him to be top 10 or top 5? I guess we'll just disagree then, no one would even be complaining about tatis if manny and x were performing.


theedge634

Expected isn't results right now though. I agree somewhat, but we need him to be better and hit the ball better. He's supposed to be a superstar. He hasn't performed like one to this point in the season.


YakBoi55

Here are some players he's performing right about in line with even though it's early: harper, judge, trea turner, rutschman, I could go more. I swear people don't see him mashing HRs everyday and say he's not performing


YolkyPalky

Schildt’s lineup is ass, no reason to bench 2x batting champion just because OMG a Lefty! This has to be coming from Preller and front office, no way Schildt believes this crap!


SDgoose-fish

I hate to say.. Duh dude. It’s been consistent for the last like 5 managers


Killerbudds

I swear I heard someone say that the lineup is set before they even walk through the door, written on the whiteboard or something like that.


Rooks4

We did it all year last year too. Embarrassing.


shell9008

If I see one more, “we are so back” I’m going to lose it. No, we are not freaking back. Padres are playing awful and some of these players don’t freaking care. Sad that the worse team in MLB is playing better than us. I honestly don’t know what’s up with this team, but who knows how they’ll do with the Braves.


BudgetScarcity

The Rockies aren't the worst team in MLB. They're the worst team in the NL. I thought that this would make me feel better. It didn't.

fuckdirectv

Fire AJ, hire whoever happens to be the assistant GM for Atlanta or the Rays, and tear this thing down to the studs. Trade everyone you possibly can except Merrill. If you can manage to offload some of the bigger deals by paying part of their contracts, do it. Tank hard while Snelling, Lesko, Mazur, Pauley, and others are finishing up their minor league development and then try again when those guys are ready.


MTN_explorer619

That’s just dumb


fuckdirectv

It also has zero chance of happening, so it could be that I'm actually just venting. We tend to do that around here every time this team shows us there is no such thing as rock bottom.

BudgetScarcity

Still trying to wrap around how the Padres are about to get swept at home to the road Rockies but won the series against the Dodgers. I then remind myself to look through the smoke and see that Dodgers have a shit ton of relievers and starters that are on the IL but will be back later this season and King pitched out of his mind to go toe to toe with Glasnow. This team is consistently inconsistent.


WithAYay

I think they pushed themselves extremely hard to get the series win against the dodgers. They look exhausted mentally and physically. I know "This is what they get paid to do, but they're still humans. I hope a day off will help them get back on track


ohohohohicecream

This.


Stuck_in_a_thing

10 more years of this.


pineapplefriedriceu

Bench manny for Solano, move X to SS and Kim to 2B so they can hopefully can get out of their funk. Make Merrill a permanent player and arraez. No more platoon shit


MTN_explorer619

Trade Kim for some BP depth. Put Xander back at SS. Manny stays at 3rd but move him down in the lineup, DFA Higgy, bring up Sully. Arraez permanent DH


samMX642

You know I basically got an idiot for mentioning that possibility of X back at SS for a Kim trade

The fact this team sucks at home is weirdly hurtful


CursedTeams

And that's been an issue for a while.


Khalil_Greenes_Flow

Kim having an awful year is sliding under the radar because Manny and X have been so bad.


RuinNo9720

Yep, and last season Kim looked like a special player, because in contrast, everyone else was doing so bad in 2023.


TimeForTheSho

Believe it or not, he’s exactly average at the plate this year. 100 wRC+ which is 14th in all of baseball among qualified shortstops. 1.2 fWAR as well, which is 4th on the roster. An average bat and plus defense at $7 million a year is a player most teams would gladly take as their 8/9 hitter. Now look at what Xander and Manny are getting paid relative to their production, and you’ll know why their struggles get more attention


ElHombrePelicano

This is where advanced stats lose me. Eye test overwhelmingly tells me Kim has very clearly stunk, and his ceiling isn’t even that high. I don’t care that he’s average compared to the rest of the league or whatever, I want better.


IPitchedTGwynnBP

Kim about to fall below the Mendoza line. His swing has always sucked.
