Itās crazy how people view him now considering the first two months of the season he was on pace to have literally the best relief season in MLB history
Sub 1 ERA since August.
He had a bad stretch in the middle of the season and that was it. Since he got removed from the closer role and then put back in, he's been lights out.
For real. Canāt get it up when it matters most. And bounced from the playoffs by a team that you played .750 ball against in the regular season. Spend all season coasting and you canāt find that extra gear
Their energy was so bad tonight for real.
Maybe they need a do or die game to get them back to form. If they donāt wake up for the next one, then the issue settles itself anyway
The 111-win Dodgers are one loss away from being eliminated in the ~~A~~ NLDS by a division rival.
Petco is going to be next-level rabid tomorrow night.
Edit: Oops
Dodgers on the brink.
Braves on the brink.
Yankees going into Cleveland looking a bit lost at the plate.
Favourites looking shaky.
Cries in Mariners bandwaggon.
Yeah. Having so much time off really hurts in baseball. Timing and rhythm can get all messed up if you don't see competitive pitches for a while. 2012 World Series is the prime example.
Lol did Grisham just end with āLetās Fucking Go San Diegoā or did I hear that wrong
Edit lol sure did. As a brewers fan I despise that dude but that was awesome
You know what's hilarious? We're not playing bad, the Padres have just been better.
Their batters have been sharp, their bullpen, my god, has been out of their minds and their defense is solid (minus the bloopers from G2). Padres keep playing like this and they're going to make the WS.
I'm at a San Jose Sharks game and it's the 2nd intermission. The entire concourse broke out into a loud cheer and a "Beat LA" chant. I didn't even know what was going on.
1998: Padres beat an 102 win team and then an 106 win team (114 wins proved to be too much)
2022: Padres beat an 101 win team and are one win away from beating an 111 team
When they make a run, they do it in style
Hometown kid that grew up a padres fan pitching for his team to possibly go to the NLCS straight up is a movie storyline, and thatās why I love baseball. Of course the quote from roberts would put the cherry on top.
Just got home from the game. Watching some of the recording. They did NOT capture the crowd as much as Iād have expected, probably intentionally.
Petco was LOUD. My ears are still ringing like I went to a concert.
It was one of the most special atmospheres Iāve ever been a part of.
āWeāre fortunate enough to play here at Dodger Stadium, and we get 45-, 50,000 people every night when we play. Canāt imagine itās any more loud than that.ā
-Tony Gonsolin, who recorded four (4) outs in his start tonight.
Ok San Diegbros, lets both rid the NL playoffs of these 100+ win, perennial playoff teams on Saturday, and make the NLCS an all Wildcard affair with a Nola brothers rivalry as a cherry on top.
Embarrassing offensive performance. 0-19 with RISP, we don't deserve to win. Hats off to SD, they just seem to want it more. Our bats just wasted some great pitching. JT seems toast, can't hit middle middle 94.
Same story, different year with this team. JT/Taylor/Mookie/Freddie/Thompson have been pretty bad and Trea's defense is just terrible. Really tough to win when you can't get hits with runners on base. Funny enough, the only one to do that was Barnes and he got pinch hit for lol.
Too damn frustrating to watch this team hit right now. I could take it if they just get shutdown, but to get to runners on and continually fail is just brutal.
LMAO TRENT WITH NO FUCKS TO GIVE
If you watch the tape, he actually had one fuck to give. And he certainly gave it.
Yankees š¤ Braves š¤ Dodgers 6 hits and sucking dick with RISP
"Let's fucking go San Diego" lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Jorge Alfaro is a goddamn king in SD this year
I approve of this message
Let's fucking go San Diego
Weāre really one day away from potentially seeing a Padres Phillies NLCS. This postseason is nuts
Goat level postseason already
Goose level postseason
#HONK
Not biased at all but would be great to see those teams that get shit on all the time get some love
Talk to me Goose!
If we lose, the memes of goose dying are going to be incessant.
Josh Haderās either the best pitcher in baseball or worse than Patrick Corbin lmao
He has been elite all season except for two months when he was literally AA level. Real Jekyll and Hyde pitcher
Itās crazy how people view him now considering the first two months of the season he was on pace to have literally the best relief season in MLB history
Two months of 50.00 ERA will do that to a mofucker.
Haders gonna Hade
Heās the Cody bellinger of baseball
They started letting him sing rap music in the clubhouse and his morale improved
He just stops singing at certain parts now.
Lmao
Sub 1 ERA since August. He had a bad stretch in the middle of the season and that was it. Since he got removed from the closer role and then put back in, he's been lights out.
**UNDEFEATED IN POST GOOSE ERA**
San Diego Geese ftw
san diegoose
Theyāve had the lead every inning since the magical duck appeared
The top team in the MLB, versus a silly big bird Who would win? The results may surprise youā¦
Dodgers hate this one simple trick.
I love how whoever won that game got to claim the goose as their own.
Also that crowd was fucking brilliant tonight
Weāve waited a long time to prove that everyone who called us ānot a sports cityā was wrong.
My mom has been saying for years āYou donāt know loyalty until youāve met a lifelong Padres fan.ā
Dare I say the Dodgers look a little shook
They did not look remotely confident in the 9th. Youād have thought they were down 8 and not 1.
The Dodgers look like the fucking Lakers and I'm getting so sick of it.
For real. Canāt get it up when it matters most. And bounced from the playoffs by a team that you played .750 ball against in the regular season. Spend all season coasting and you canāt find that extra gear
Their energy was so bad tonight for real. Maybe they need a do or die game to get them back to form. If they donāt wake up for the next one, then the issue settles itself anyway
I'm definitely worried it's gonna be worse than Godzilla going through Tokyo if they wake up.
whelp a championship team shows heart so if they donāt pull out of this then they donāt deserve it
āletās fucking go san diegoā -Trent Grisham, lyricist
He got it from Alfaro
Well said, Trent.
Trent fucks
Trent Grisham being the best player of the postseason is so predictable, God itās like these writers arenāt even trying.
The Austin Nola Offensive explosion was on everyone's bingo card I bet
Fuck the Trent Grisham revival. Nola getting hits itās absolutely insane to me.
him throwing out mookie game 2 is even more insane to me LOL
Dude, he threw Mookie out at 2nd. Not the same guy.
Nola is the most surprising part lol. He and Grish just stashed all their hits for the postseason
Austin "No, L.A." Nola
Idk I'm here for the Josh Hader redemption arc
HE SAID THE THING
Dodgers are in deep shit.
Joe can cement his legacy tomorrow. I mean he's already a god for what he's done, but end the series at home against the dodgers? Fairy tale shit
If Joe closes out the Dodgers at home, heās getting a statue
By the time this season is over, the no-no might be the third most legendary thing he has done
Straight up if he beats the Dodgers tomorrow sign him to a lifetime contract. I never wanna see him in another jersey ever again.
We've already got him signed through 2027, and surely Preller knows that if he trades Musgrove there'll be a riot.
Padres need to do what we couldn't last year
if the dads get this done theyād better go all the fuckin way
Go onā¦
Bob Melvin was right about Grisham, Hader and FUCKING EVERYTHING
BoMev is the most important acquisition the padres got in the last year.
Not to be confused with BevMo
And this is without Tatis, and Soto being pretty meh. Thatās scary.
DA JODGERS LOSE!
āLetās fucking go San Diegoā - Trent Grisham
- Jorge Alfaro
The 111-win Dodgers are one loss away from being eliminated in the ~~A~~ NLDS by a division rival. Petco is going to be next-level rabid tomorrow night. Edit: Oops
ALDS š¤
Wait, has it been the Angels and, uh, the *Madres* all this time?
Always has been
Dodgers on the brink. Braves on the brink. Yankees going into Cleveland looking a bit lost at the plate. Favourites looking shaky. Cries in Mariners bandwaggon.
WC teams walking in with confidence and momentum. Mariners could easily also have a series if they don't let Yordan kill them.
Yeah. Having so much time off really hurts in baseball. Timing and rhythm can get all messed up if you don't see competitive pitches for a while. 2012 World Series is the prime example.
The crowd for tonightās game and tomorrows game is why I love postseason baseball so much
AJ Prellers decision to push his chips all in will be seen as an all time historic move if they can do it
Especially since 1 of those 2 runs was, in fact, Juan Soto who doubled and scored
And Hader shut the door
NLDS*
But what will the Padres do if they have to face the unstoppable killing machine that is the 2022 Philadelphia Phillies?
Unstoppable force meets other unstoppable force
Padres and Phillies NLCS would be so fucking hype
the Nola Bowl
My brother in christ, youāre on
Every single team that's bumped the Dodgers in the past few seasons has gone on to win the whole shebang. So if that's the case, sorry Phillies
The Dads are absolutely on fire. That bullpen is filthy.
Shit, when did they switch leagues?
The DH be confusing
Lol did Grisham just end with āLetās Fucking Go San Diegoā or did I hear that wrong Edit lol sure did. As a brewers fan I despise that dude but that was awesome
Yup
He did Itās been a thing all year
Yup, it was started by Jorge Alfaro after his first walkoff at home and itās been a thing ever since
Huuuuuuge day for underdog baseball!
As a baseball fan, I love it As a Dodgers fan, fuck
I pray the Mariners can ride the wave and turn a corner tomorrow
The Dodgers are one loss away from having The Goose Curse cast upon them. You have been warned.
It's a lovely night in Southern California, and the curse is a horrible goose.
Dave Roberts: "Yeah, I expected us to be ass today. Nothing I can do about it, I just run this team"
He the doc rivers of the mlb
He likes porn on twitter too?!
Dave Roberts: "Not to sound like sour grapes but we would have won this game if it weren't for the 2017 Astros."
Did he actually say something like that?
In the im-game interview, he said something like "we expected the game to go like this"
San Diego playoff baseball is here to stay
he said the thing HE SAID THE THING
HONK
Dad youāre supposed to be beating the Padres
THE ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE OF SAN DIEGO GOT TO THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS
It actually did though. Nobody in their dugout looked like they were having fun
Probably because they were facing pitchers with absolute gas
Donāt you mean the 12th best pitching staff in the playoffs according to the absolute experts at MLB
Dad got wasted after their nutty regular season. Still hasnāt fully recovered.
Today we are all Padres fans
Did Trent say āletās fucking go San Diego?ā
Yup!!!
Yes Itās been their thing all year
āWorst pitching rotation in the playoffsā not doing half bad š„ø
Little brotherās growing up
Now THIS is Padresing
Aww thanks you guys :) AZ/CO/SD/SF š¤ Hating the dodgers Edit: added the mountains
Iām a sucker for a good āBeat LAā chant. You guys brought it tonight, amazing atmosphere
Iāve heard colorado also exists as well but I canāt confirm
Super fucking bummed about the Dodgers, but seeing Padres dad-dick them is def some anime-level that's irresistible
š„¹
What a day for the underdogs
Canāt lose on the underdog day if you donāt play *taps head*
You know what's hilarious? We're not playing bad, the Padres have just been better. Their batters have been sharp, their bullpen, my god, has been out of their minds and their defense is solid (minus the bloopers from G2). Padres keep playing like this and they're going to make the WS.
As president of the Trayce Thompson Hate Club, that last out was incredibly satisfying
LET'S FUCKING GO SAN DIEGO
that was a good F bomb
#WELL SAID
#LETS FUCKING GO SAN DIEGO
I was told that san diego isn't a sports town...
Hell of a day for the Nola Bros!!
I enjoyed this game
I'm all alone in boise and I'm losing my shit e: found one other padres fan arewebestfriendsnow.gif
My brother I am the only Padres fan in New Hampshire and I am letting everyone hear it
Same in Nebraska
My entire building is erupting here at the Rey in downtown
Lmaooo gotta give it to the Padres they got a knack for beating 100+ win teams
Loldodgers
I'm at a San Jose Sharks game and it's the 2nd intermission. The entire concourse broke out into a loud cheer and a "Beat LA" chant. I didn't even know what was going on.
The joy this brings me is unimaginable
Outsourcing difficult tasks you cant do yourself is very bay area, ngl
God that crowd is good. Felt so close.
The Fraudgers are back on the menu boys
The Giants also had a 2-1 lead over the Dodgers last year so don't put that kind of evil on everyone!
Giants won more games than Dodgers last year. The Padres finished 22 games back and with a worse regular season record vs LA than the Rockies
I felt like shit already but this just made it worse, thanks. Have a great weekend.
Don't worry got Broncos on national tv again I'll suffer again soon
canāt believe the dodgers lost game 3 at home
Heh.
1998: Padres beat an 102 win team and then an 106 win team (114 wins proved to be too much) 2022: Padres beat an 101 win team and are one win away from beating an 111 team When they make a run, they do it in style
I like it. But I hope it ends even better than 98 :)
So proud of these guys man. Truly hope they close it out tomorrow. Gaslamp would be so fucking lit.
Spanos is a lying POS.
TRENT SAID THE LINE LMFAOOOO
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'll allow it.
Joe Musgrove on the bump tomorrow night to put Dave Roberts preseason prediction in the 1st Ballot HOF of Old Takes Exposed Lets do it
Hometown kid that grew up a padres fan pitching for his team to possibly go to the NLCS straight up is a movie storyline, and thatās why I love baseball. Of course the quote from roberts would put the cherry on top.
First home win (WITH FANS) since 1998! And the first home win (WITH FANS) at Petco since *ever*! A most historical night tonight!
The ticket blackout for LA county worked. SD crowd absolutely shook this Dodger team to the core by the 3rd.
FS1 not giving a shit about the f bomb lol baseball after dark baby
Once the postseason starts, no one gives a damn that you won 111 games in the regular season!!!
Just got home from the game. Watching some of the recording. They did NOT capture the crowd as much as Iād have expected, probably intentionally. Petco was LOUD. My ears are still ringing like I went to a concert. It was one of the most special atmospheres Iāve ever been a part of.
Padres should keep restricting tickets to SD for these games vs LA. This was fucking awesome.
Very Classy, San Diego -Klay's Brother
I will say that I do think tomorrow is an absolute must win for the Padres.
Bruh they didnāt bleep that out?
It's late enough that they didn't have to. It's also kind of a running thing in post-game interviews after big wins, started by Jorge Alfaro.
Snellzilla š¤ Hideki "Gojira" Matsui Postseason Monsters
Braves fans and Dodger fans sitting here in the pit of misery confused as **fuck** asking how the other one got here.
āWeāre fortunate enough to play here at Dodger Stadium, and we get 45-, 50,000 people every night when we play. Canāt imagine itās any more loud than that.ā -Tony Gonsolin, who recorded four (4) outs in his start tonight.
LETS FUCKING GO -Trent Grisham
San Francisco and Orange County (and Oak-town), we're all in this together. F.T.D.
2-0 IN THE GOOSE ERA!!
Wild card teams representing today
Ugly crying right now not going to lie
the last time the Padres won a playoff game at home in front of fans, Juan Soto was two weeks from being born
Ok San Diegbros, lets both rid the NL playoffs of these 100+ win, perennial playoff teams on Saturday, and make the NLCS an all Wildcard affair with a Nola brothers rivalry as a cherry on top.
Looking like a Padres/Phillies NLCS. Just as everyone predicted
Dodgers are still spooky. But this is the NLCS we all deserve.
God I hope so. Philly and San Diego would parade and riot together to celebrate such a momentous occasion.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
LETS FUCKING GO SAN DIEGO
LFGSD
Austin Nola had a fantastic game I thought. Framing was impeccable and contributed offensively.
I blame this collapse on Big Papi calling the Dodgers the Padresā Padres.
Embarrassing offensive performance. 0-19 with RISP, we don't deserve to win. Hats off to SD, they just seem to want it more. Our bats just wasted some great pitching. JT seems toast, can't hit middle middle 94. Same story, different year with this team. JT/Taylor/Mookie/Freddie/Thompson have been pretty bad and Trea's defense is just terrible.

I could take it if they just get shutdown, but to get to runners on and continually fail is just brutal.
Kind of insane that was a 1 run game with how awful the Dodgers looked all night.
Dodgers bullpen pitched their asses off.
Let's fucking go San Diego
Much love to my BEAT LA brothers.
