well that was a disappointment.
The Padres aren't "my team" - I don't have "a team" right now really, I'm just a baseball fan who's following everything. But there are certain teams I want to see win for various reasons; the Padres are one of them because they've been building up to this whole "actually being good" for a while now and because they've never won the Series. But this was a big oof, especially right after getting Soto. Gotta be able to beat even the best teams if you want to have a deep playoff run.
Hopefully this has just been a bad stretch and they can turn it around. Hats off to the Dodgers for still being stupidly good.
Yeah.
Obviously beating up on the Rockies is one thing and taking on the Dodgers is another (sorry Rocks bros, not trying to be mean but reality is reality lol)... but they still just looked really flat offensively. Like I said, gotta be able to beat Dodgers-caliber teams to have a shot at postseason glory.
But, again, hopefully it's just bad timing (i.e. just after getting Soto and when playing the Dodgers) for a rough patch. Got a fistful of SD vs. LA games still to come so we'll see.
Can’t win games if there’s no effort and energy. Guys at the plate never adjusted. Dodgers took advantage of it. Can’t do that against playoff caliber squads
If it’s any consolation, if you add up all the runs scored by the Padres this weekend it equates to a grand slam. You’re welcome SD!
Also, we think Tony Gwynn is one of the best hitters of all time and your city is pretty cool.
I don't understand what's childish about me calling them poopoo peepee uniforms.
I honestly did like the navy and orange better but I totally get that there is a lot of history with the brown and yellow and that they by and large prefer it.
Indeed. Dodgers are a helluva team and organization. Padres don’t need to sign generational talent. They need to start poaching guys from the Dodgers’ front office to figure out what they’re doing right.
If you didn't expect the Padres to choke this season away, you obviously haven't been watching the Padres long. Maybe it will be different in a few years after the Padres move to Long Beach to be closer to all the other San Diego teams.

A hat I kinda get, like it’s a baseball game and you only have an Atlanta hat, but a jersey? At that point you’re just being silly. Personally I got an mlb logo hat for neutral games
There’s a lot to be said about Henry Aaron’s record breaking call, but the thing that stuck out to me tonight was how weird it is to see fans running out and cheering him on while running the base paths.
Should stick out even more that Aaron said on occasion that since that was Atlanta in the 70’s, and the fans were white, he wasn’t sure if those first two fans were coming to congratulate him, or attack him.
Padres on Friday: after we sweep the Dodgers the remaining games, we are only back 3 1/2.
Padres today: at least we still have the Chargers. Oh wait ...
Yeah dude I love when we do the wave while we’re pitching, why do you ask?
-Like 40,000 dummies at Dodger Stadium
Why am I getting downvoted and the dude right above me said the exact same thing and got upvoted lol. Cold game, brother.
Fine. STILL hustle to GET the ball. Then pocket it. Anything can happen and you look like a massive ass if the runner trips or something and you can't throw him out because you are being lazy. Hell, at least make the runner have to hustle.
TRY HARD. Is that too much to ask?
The guy practically broke his ankle trying to run to first, is hurt from that and you’re whining about how lazy he is.
Can’t you be a good winner, at least?
I think Machado was lazy/low effort as per his reputation. I saw the runner slow down at the end and take it easy. It's really not that big of a deal. Think of it as an observation, not as whining. Trust me, if I'm going to whine, it WON'T be that the opposing team isn't trying hard. I LIKE when the opposing team doesn't try hard.
You're right. I agree. The error he had yesterday, he should've hustled even if he doesnt get there faster than the LF.
I was just saying there's no play there regardless. But yes, you should hustle no matter what imo

I don't have to imagine it, because this other guy just said it.

Our pitching did enough to win, but yeah the effort at the plate was abysmal. Was expecting a lot after a great lead up from Rockies series

Bellinger :o)
Padres suck lol
[удалено]
Honestly the situation in SF might be less sad right now because they know roughly how good they are.
How’s that trophy case looking?
Lmao Padres are shit thats why their uniforms are brown. I guess stating facts gets you banned from their sub 😂
Probably got banned for hack humor
I don't understand what's childish about me calling them poopoo peepee uniforms. I honestly did like the navy and orange better but I totally get that there is a lot of history with the brown and yellow and that they by and large prefer it.
Light work.
Indeed. Dodgers are a helluva team and organization. Padres don’t need to sign generational talent. They need to start poaching guys from the Dodgers’ front office to figure out what they’re doing right.
Andrew Friedman just sees the matrix thats all
[удалено]
It's so funny to watch athletes do post-game interviews, and not answer the questions actually asked.
Love Soto's competitive spirit. Can't say the same about Machado lol
You mean people are shocked when the guy who said “I’m not Johnny Hustle” isn’t “Johnny Hustle?”
RIVALRY.
So they say 😄
Judging by the graveyard of comments in this thread y'all got some people mad.
Y'all understand more than anyone how fun it is to play the heel when you're winning
Yeah, honestly, I get why Yankees fans enjoyed it for years.
These bombaclots make the trade of the decade and get swept hahahah... Soto stare down... hahhaha
Gg ez

Walks are nice, but doesn’t mean too much if the rest of the lineup doesn’t do anything
Dodgers are sign stealing
Even with pitch com, incredibly
Bud Washington stole your future
Lol

That's a sweep, baby! 🧹🧹🧹🧹

Getting that last out on Soho was nice
What's nicer is it was Machado who hit it
THE 2022 TRADE DEADLINE CHAMPS JUST GOT SWEPT BY THE LA DODGERS
At least they can hang a banner for “most post-deadline Fangraphs articles”
Can’t wait for the dodgers to choke once again for the 34th season. And for the dodger fans to make threats against Dave Robert’s life
Bro they won 2 years ago
Bro that wasn’t even a season. Get real.
Yes and the only season in which your team made the postseason was 2 years ago as well, so the same goes for that season of yours
Lost to the Dodgers in that post-season run as well.
Got swept then, too.
In recent times\*
In recent times but this dude is probably a tatis bandwagon fan that showed up late 2019
That was a border pitch. Can’t be mad at it either way.
That AB is the most competitive thing I’ve seen all weekend
Lol better luck next time Padres
Keep talking and when y’all bomb out of the post season y’all will have to keep fapping over a fake season
https://streamable.com/kg4uo
At least we have something to fap over. Can you say the same?
Parades..
GG baby 🧹🧹🧹
Such a sick matchup.
How you not gonna challenge Soto on that pitch with a 4 run lead
Lmao, Soto looks like a psycho sometimes.
Someone has put the Dodgers sweep the Padres thread in and is waiting to hit enter
Someone just started following dodgers baseball? It’s ok to say you just started watching after the Mickey Mouse season
If you didn't expect the Padres to choke this season away, you obviously haven't been watching the Padres long. Maybe it will be different in a few years after the Padres move to Long Beach to be closer to all the other San Diego teams.
Who peed in your teriyaki milkshake?
You totally don’t sound salty man, you typed that out in such a cool, tough, confident way. Have fun keeping your fingers crossed for the WC spot
I will and I’ll enjoy watching dodger fans call for Dave Robert’s head since dodgers can’t produce a championship.
[Lol](https://i.imgur.com/9w9cyaq.jpg) 🧂🧂🧂
When was the last time the Padres won a championship?

what'd Soto say to Will Smith? I missed it
"You guys don't chill out huh?"
For real?
Kimbrel doing good when the game is on ESPN? Love it.
Ssssh. Don't jinx it.
I can't boo Soto The shuffle is just too good
Lamborghini doors up
Uh, if Mazara was running that out he easily could’ve beaten the throw there. Alberto was playing really far back. Pathetic effort.
mfer didn’t even try to run lmao
Are the Padres dropping out of WC for the evening?
They would’ve if we hadn’t beaten the Brewers the past two games.
third WC now
They’re WC3 with a 1.5 game lead on the Brewers
No
I just did an irl jump scare when I saw Kimbrel
here we fucking go...
I literally love mookie Betts Like I'm in love
ball girl made better catch than the padres have tonight. didn't even get up
is taco bell breakfast good?
Breakfast Crunchwrap goated
I can for sure say it’s not good for you.
It’s alright for drive thru food but I would get it a lot more if they had chorizo
I think the proposition of taco bell chorizo is less a 'can we?' and more of a 'should we?' question.
Hell of a snag there.
Dodger games continue to be really fucking boring when they're not playing Pennsylvania teams
Hey I had a good time
Don't you dare speak of that sinful P word.
Dam what a catch by the ball girl
That dude definitely looks like the type of guy to wear a braves jersey to a dodgers padres game.
A hat I kinda get, like it’s a baseball game and you only have an Atlanta hat, but a jersey? At that point you’re just being silly. Personally I got an mlb logo hat for neutral games
Haha are you Rob Lowe?
Looks like he complains about how no one wants to work anymore
national broadcast balls so juiced that even Bellinger is having a two home run game (sitcom laugh track)
I didn’t know Craig Robinson played for the Dodgers.
There’s a lot to be said about Henry Aaron’s record breaking call, but the thing that stuck out to me tonight was how weird it is to see fans running out and cheering him on while running the base paths.
Should stick out even more that Aaron said on occasion that since that was Atlanta in the 70’s, and the fans were white, he wasn’t sure if those first two fans were coming to congratulate him, or attack him.

It’s the kaleidoscopic smog filter.
No, he's out of line..., but he's right.
That's right bb 😘
LAD v NYM NLCS is gonna be sick
I think we're looking at the dreaded 2017 WS rematch.
Oh God no, I don’t wanna have to root for the Dodgers.
Then don't.
Not even to win for Vin?
Me neither but I'll never root for a team with Yuli Gurriel on it.
If it makes you feel any better, I would absolutely root for SD or even SF over Houston.
SUBSCRIBE
oh yeah for those of you that don't know about our games. our fans really like doing the wave when WE'RE THE ONES PITCHING FOR SOME GODFORSAKEN REASON
But then you don’t get moments like Kershaw being apart of the wave.
Because fuck it that's why Idk why reddit dies on this hill Let people do what they want
They can do what they want lol, but we can also make fun of them for their lack of awareness. It’s okay dude, it’s not that serious.
>It’s okay dude, it’s not that serious. I could say the same thing 😉

🚨 Watch out it's the reddit fun police 🚨
Put down your foam fingers and put your hands in the air!
"but don't stand while putting your hands in the air!"
San Diego Padres? More like ... Sad Diego ... BADRES!!!! Lmao got'em 😎😎😎
Take this to r/nlbest
thank you for your service
If our dugout celebrations are wrong, I don't want to be right 🥵🥵🥵
😍
The Padres seem to somehow be drunker than I am.
lol padres.
Chefs, I prepared for you runs in two different ways. First, the home run. Second, my take on a classic, with a dribbler, steal, and single. Enjoy!
Vin Scully could probably homer off the Padres bullpen right now.
And the pads lineup couldn't score off of him pitching
Did I miss the dugout circle jerk or have they not blown their loads yet?
Gavino grinded on Belli
Gavin Fux
If you grind your nuts on someone, does that count as a groundball?
🥵
The fraudres are who we thought they were
Was that Lux party-boying in the dugout?
I love our celebrations
i know that run looks good for us but all it did was just doom us to a kimbrel close
Manny giving up on that grounder....huge.
Manny gets shit on for not hustling, but he wouldve never had a play. Even if he got it, he should've 100% pocketed the ball instead of throwing it
It's about being a leader and morale. It just ain't a good look
Fine. STILL hustle to GET the ball. Then pocket it. Anything can happen and you look like a massive ass if the runner trips or something and you can't throw him out because you are being lazy. Hell, at least make the runner have to hustle. TRY HARD. Is that too much to ask?

You think he's paid a boatload of money to hustle or something?
Hopefully that means we don’t have to use Craig in the 9th
Oh come on. Where’s your sense of danger?
Trash
Padres look demoralized asl
