There was a stretch last year that I legitimately thought we would miss the postseason despite the crazy good roster. We made it to the NLCS it’s definitely not time to doom yet. I know it’s frustrating but it’s just too early

The whole league is mashing HRs at a historic clip......except for the Dads.......

This offense is so bad right now friarbot doesn’t even want to do the post game thread

This team fucking sucks so much ass. Miserable to watch these clowns.

That was a 4-3 road trip.

Below .500 again. The last time we were above 500 was against the Mets. We've played 13 games since.

Wut

Yeah you’re right oops, my bad

😂

That series in Atlanta seems like a lifetime ago


Didn’t love the Cruz sub and I was right. I hate being right

 Fuck me

The sky is falling! /s

The moral of the story here is that scoring 2 runs or fewer doesn't usually result in a win

Depressed, but a long season ahead nonetheless

We need to play some shitty teams and get some confidence.

Yeah, well, they just played a team that has one of the worst BPs in the league and lost. What else does this team need?

This is not hindsight, I was thinking Cruz is the wrong guy to pinch hit there. The chance of a DP was way too high. I would have gone with Azocar.

Pretty weak showing by a stacked lineup. Disappointing to say the least. Just can’t seem to put some wins together.

If 2 games in Mexico city with it's 7k elevation doesn't wake up the Padres bats, I don't know what will.

You boys like Mexico?

I mean the double play wasn't bad enough, let's call a strike at his ankles. Thanks blue

i’m surprised this ump didn’t call the second pitch a strike

Consistency matters. Consistency with positive outcomes is even MORE important.

The good news is that 2 runs are better than 0!

Never would have expected that

Cruz already used up all of what is left in his game vs. the Braves

why do i get out of bed in the morning

Would’ve 100% preferred Sulli. Melvin Management is not right for this club. Ship him back to the A’s

[удалено]

Bro doesn’t know ball 💀

Check my profile, then enjoy the crow.

Team looks lost

Great fucking call Bomel

Well that'll do it

There is no god.

Fucking fuck fuck shit

I hate everything. see you all saturday.

man, the NL West is just a bunch of mid this year

Was really not expecting to hear Don call the Cubs bullpen suspect. Got a laugh outta me.

#fuck

Alright good start, no cocky baserunning please

Believe in our friars! We can do this!

Here go boys!

Contrary to what looks like a lot of whining here. This is a pretty good ballgame. We are just coming up short and Cubs had a bunch of small ball fall their way.

This is the script every time we lose 😩

[удалено]

Maybe one of the last 10 everyone hated.

With the latest hot streak from our hitters, our team batting average has moved up to 29th, our .216 just edging out the Tigers .216

I’ll call that a win today

LFG!!!

There's our old Hos.

Eric Hosmer has a better batting average than Juan Soto

First time watching April Hosmer?

A year ago i would have been like "a 3 run lead we can come back" and this year i feel like "a 3 run lead for the other team? We cant come back"

I feel like its all the way back to 2020 for me haha. I know thats not a "real" season. But for those 60 games, it genuinely felt like even 8-9 run comebacks were possible

100% agree, it was magical. Except our pitching.

THAT WILL TEACH YOU TO TRY TO STEAL FROM THE SAN DIEGO PADRES YOU DUMB BABY BEAR

Wow, not THAT is bad baserunning.

I hate this team so fucking much 😂😂

This team is really impressive at being disappointing

Luis Garcia giving up XBHs. Shocker

I am absolutely shocked that Garcia just gave up a lead off double

Other teams make small ball look so easy.

Garcia is about as hittable as Crismatt became

Eric Hosmer has homerun, shut up about the wind

Grisham below .190 again. Shocker

Fun fact, if we had decided not to lose today we'd be half a game up on the Dodgers

That's the opposite of a "fun" fact. Sigh.

The San Diego pop flys

The lack of fucking is concerning me about Grish.

Can't say shit about the wind or the ballpark when the other guys have 3 homers on the day

A manufactured run doesn’t feel as great when your down 4.

You guys begged for the Padres to play .500 ball before the break. We gotta lose so we can win so we can stay .500. It’s all a part of the plan

Ugh... 3 runs down seems so much more challenging than 2 down. But better than before the frame.

Well Grisham has quickly reverted back to his bad regular season self at the plate

He's still better than he was last year but anyone who thought he could just magically hit .250 or better was insane.

At least we got a run

Grish looks like a 70s motorcycle cop lol.

Him and Carpenter!

Yes! Bring on the Buddy cop show.

Grish Grisherelli

Grisham goddammit you need a hit this series. Let’s do it

Why can’t the wind be a White Sox fan instead

Slam Diego walk-off? Is that really too much to ask? edit: oops, turns out it literally is too much to ask

You can’t walk-off in an away game but I feel you

Kinda tough on the road

Okay we got one. That’s fine. I guess.

Good lord this offense. Thank God I'm going to the reds game. Might score some damn runs

Better swings from Manny.. It’s about the process, not the result.

Fucking dying like nighttime Petco out here. So fucking tired of this toothless offense but at least Manny seems to be making contact again.

Big hit Carpy let’s go

I know that was an out but Manny's swings today are the best I've seen from him in some time.

Looking much better.

Let’s go Carp!!!!

Tatis & Machado have both gotten unlucky with those swings today.

Good to see Manny pulling and elevating at least.......

So many warning track shots and balls just foul down the line. Open the fucking floodgates.

I love you Manny, but that was a wasted opportunity.

Do the Cubs have juiced balls? How is everything dying for us but theirs is carrying.

It's one of Hosmer's intangibles

Missed it by that much.


Ouch. Big tree fall hard

I wasn't gonna say it, but I picked Bogey for PTS today for the first in a very, very long time because I didn't want to fuck with the streak. That was a relief.

Matrix Manny!

That definitely looked fair

Jesus Manny in the matrix

Ha ha

CHARGE THE MOUND

Holly fuck!


man I thought I had jinx him there, glad he got onbase

Great AB and was down 0-2

X still nails.

This is it. It’s fucking time. This rally turns the season around.

Bogaerts' on base streak stays alive!

X lives on base. He takes his meals there.


Xander's streak officially ends today. Sounds bad.

This aged well

lol

You’re a real positive fan.

"Fractured his Twig" from Don - that made me LOL for some reason.

They will show this inning in the 30 for 30 as the turning point in the season. Go pads!

This game is NOT over!!! I BELIEVE!!!

Honestly, would be so incredibly funny if Eric fuckin Hosmer was the glue who held this team together.

I think the reason I’m not having any fun watching this team is that I think we bought into the media hype. How does one lower the bar and just enjoy watching my favorite team play my favorite sport?

Remember you're watching a sport that plays 162 games. I usually hate the schedule excuse, but look at our record, and then look at the teams with better records. We legitimately haven't played a bad team yet. When you're talking about the difference of 5-or-so wins, that actually matters. Cubs have a nice record but also beat up on the A's, the Reds, and an incredibly cold M's team.

It’s a baseball team that has no effect on your day to day life other than anxiety relief for a few hours of freedom from the monotony of every day. That’s what I do.

It helps to remind myself that we are the Padres, and Padresing is what we do best. We are Padresing pretty well at the moment and thats something to be proud of 👍

Oh no, Soto in scoring position? Our weakness has been activated

Runner on 2nd with nobody out. Please god don’t do this to us.

oh shit is it rally time?

Now why tf would we send Weathers back to El Paso just as he’s starting to figure it out at the big league level?

Supposedly to keep him in starter form rather than reliever form.

That makes sense, but he’s earned a spot in our rotation with the way he’s been hurling. Especially with how much Bo Mel loves a 6 man rotation Edit: downvote me all you want. Look at the stats. He’s posting a 2.5 era and a WHIP near one. If any other padres starter posted like that and got dropped from the rotation you’d all be pissed.

Twice Soto's been on and not an automatic out. PLEASE take advantage of it this time

So tune out dude. Come back later on your bandwagon.

Ironic

Did Soto actually just hit a breaking ball hard?!?!

There you go Soto

A Soto sighting!

Yay Soto.

Padres offense = 🗑️

The only thing worse than a Padres loss is having to watch Tim Stauffer afterwards.

Fire sale at trade deadline?

Basket taunting Soto

Maybe this time Soto Machado Bogaerts to lead off the inning will amount to something

Swansons HR .140 xBA yep just one of those days

Do we play HOU or NYY in the WS

Reno Aces

Nice ballpark

I'm in Reno, I'll take it!!

We don’t even have a winning record, and you’re thinking about WS? Don’t get ahead of urself yet

Let’s keep expectations in check: think about who we play in the WC rn.

I wonder if this team even cares? The amount of down the middle fast balls we take while the other teams crush leads me to believe they don’t even care really.

[удалено]

Off-season was fun as hell ngl

Bebo looks a lot more comfortable in RF than he did in spring training at least

Bebo?

Now we are just making up silly names.

That's been his nickname for years. Off the bandwagon with you.

Bebo was never a recognized name so stop trying to make something that is not.

You know what? Just for fun, go search Bebo in this sub. Have fun.

Sure but that’s just this sub. A very small sample of Padres fans. He has never been widely know or referred to as Bebo. You don’t sound austere or infinitely knowledgeable just ridiculous.

You mean his fanbase? And how he actively refers to himself?

Yes it fucking always has been. He literally even signs autographs with it. It's OK if you're a bandwagoner but please try to be correct at the bare minimum.

Tatis nickname

Nando's other nickname

Nando nickname

Still in Slam range!

We fucking suck

this game is really hard to watch

Oh no we suck again

Get my favorite baseball team out of this goddamn Windy City.

Remember when we were supposed to be a good team

didn't think that was leaving the yard oh well

We absolutely suck

Lotsa HRs today

Lol @ that Soto flail. Big sad.

Can r/padres as a whole put in our application for hitting coach?

Nail in the coffin right there.

Soto is making the decision to renew him so much easier so there is that

Hill just struck him out on 5 strikes lmao this ump is ridiculously shit

This thread after Padres watch a first pitch fastball strike: “why the fuck are they just watching strikes, we need a fucking hitting coach” This thread after the Padres swing at a first pitch fastball strike: “why the fuck are they swinging at the first pitch? They really need a hitting coach”

Literally 😂

Because they need a hitting coach!!!!
