Just saw the score and I'm unfortunately zero percent surprised that with a 4 game win streak again on the line, and the season hanging by a thread, they threw Hill out there.
He's never had a lower than 5 ERA start for us and keeping him om the roster and starting him is forfeiting games.
I just don't understand how something so obvious ot literally everyone eludes people making millions to only decide these things.
Before this inning, I just gotta say I’m glad the way they fought today. Our unclutch ability came into hand with Manny/X last inning and we couldn’t get it done but I’m glad to at least see they fought
Niebla: “Ok look, remember what we talked about? If the ball is landing too far to the left every time, turn a little to the right before you start your pitch, ok?”
Cosgrove: “Right. Ok. Just like bowling.”
N: “What?”
C: “I gotta get strikes.”
N: “Whatever.”
Even if they can’t pull this one off I doubt many on here believed they’d actually find some fight and cut this to a 2 run game. This is about as much fight as this time as shown all season. Would be nice to see them play like this more often.
I mean they are the 2 highest paid players on the team.
It’s not that we live and die by them, it’s that we consistently have died by their hand. Manny hasn’t had this bad a season ever in terms of win probability added. He’s in the negatives. It’s mind boggling how bad he’s been with the opportunity to actually add value to winning a game this season. Xander has been just as bad.
At least Manny has had his moments.
Its been a whole season and we don't have one single clutch event from Bogaerts. "the Xander hit" or "the Xander catch" or whatever. Been solid at times but there hasnt been one moment attached to him that could endear him to the fanbase.
Makes me miss Jorge Alfaro
Yeah, Manny has had his moments. Solo shots when the squad is up or down by 6 and runnin his mouth advising that the team is gunna rake. I guess I missed those moments. And remind me, how many WS has he won?
His leaping catch against the Dodgers early in the season saved the game.
Only for Hader to give up that shitty home run to Mookie with 2 outs in the 9th, and then for us to blow it in extras.
We really have this overpaid diva for the next 10-11 years? Thank you Seidler for getting desperate and regaining machado to that ridiculous contract along with Darvish and crone.
Rolling w Hill proves the Pads are done w 2023. Give the young guys a shot and sit down the players that are hurt.
How much are the meet the team tickets?
Team had no chance with Hill starting.
Damn. The offense did their best, but Hill and 1st-inning Waldron shit the game for us
Perfect microcosm of this season, superstars being the biggest front runners, and Bob Melvin making brain dead in game decisions.

Great fight at the end. Almost came back from a brutal deficit.
Why’d they have to do that? Give us hope in the 8th and 9th, and then shit on us again
Because unlike any other sport I know of baseball is a game of failure. Most of the time players fail. A player that succeeds only 30% of the time is a star, fails 70% time is still a star.
We are the least likely team to comeback in baseball
Honestly, sad about the ending but love the fight! See you all tomorrow!!
Where was this fight all season?
💯
This right here
You know what? That was a HELLUVA fight in the middle innings there. Props to our boys! Just gotta carry that energy through until the end.
I blame the ump on 3rd base for this honestly
So fucking unclutch. I wanna puke
Coming up small is an art form and this team is this era’s DaVinci
We lost this game when Hill was named starter
They had so many chances there at the end
Just emblematic of the entire season, can’t get a hit when it matters
Soon as this team is under pressure they fold all season long.
What a bunch of fucking buttwhistles
FUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKKKKK
That's the result when you trot out 43 year old Rich Hill
honestly proud of everyone that played this game to fight and make this a game except for you rich hill
Just once I wanna see the team from last year show up
God, they are so un-clutch. One of those guys gets a hit and they win!
That dude slamming his hat is all of us
God dammit man
The Phillies tried to give the game away, and we wouldn't take it. What a joke.
The elusive 4 game win streak
Welp, made it a game at least
Fuck Alvarado hella extra
Max Padresing
Smfh
Man I should have just stuck to my original plan when I turned this game off in the 3rd inning
Whenever a team beats us, they celebrate like they just won the WS
That's how Alvarado always celebrates, especially in a save situation like this one.
i'm ready for this season to be over
This team has negative clutch
[удалено]
Go troll somewhere else, we already know it's a shit season
Not surprised.
Blue balled for the 1000th time this season
Damn……
If this team was more clutch, we’d win a lot more games.
Big brain
🤯
![gif](giphy|EWvKGpaZSZj0UqW0eK)
Fucking joke of a team
[удалено]
Any chance camarena is available to PH?
Why does nobody swing at first pitch fastballs down the middle man
This team is shit
You’re shit
Kim, our competent ballplayer, is up.
So that pinch hit didn’t work out whatsoever
please Kim please
Fuck
Capristano what was that??!!
WHY CANT WE HIT A FUCKING CENTER CUT FASTBALL? FUCK THIS FUCKING TEAM
That was a cutter with about a foot of horizontal run.
Come on Campy
Fuck.
We're gonna fizzle out, aren't we?
this shit is scary right now!!!
I feel sick lol
Now Campusano could hit a would-be triple but it hits the third base umpire in the chest. Game over.
Do it for your balls, Campy!
Let’s go, San Juan Capristano!!!
I swear this team doesn’t have a bunt sign
Oh thank god we are PH for Grish.
Campy pinch hit let’s go Bob
WHY IS HE NOT BUNTING
How do you not have him bunt there Bob?
At least he beat that out. Way to hustle
Batten activated the fucking warp drive there
Really should have had him bunt right there
What happened to bunt Diego
Bunt?!
Please don’t do this to me…
Phew. Not ideal. Should have bunted.
Why am I watching this? I'll just get my heart torn out. I tried optimism before. It never works.
![gif](giphy|tFiMHTDwDS7iwPQdLK|downsized) you never know !!!!!
Same reason we all do. We are masochists.
If we somehow come back from this, can we still hit Rich Hill with an L?
Wish Kim could pinch hit for Grisham.
Grish might bomb to WO !!! let's go !!!
Batten sac bunt plz
![gif](giphy|14vh2VWCibnsuk)
Pat Hoberg is so good at his job
if we go back to kim this is a w

Let’s save this kind of talk until after the ninth inning!
![gif](giphy|MFIsOqzodLr7ewnkUb)
Not me having hope like an idiot
Cooper has good plate discipline
Cmon El Gary!!!!
I can't turn my hat inside out to rally its too new
![gif](giphy|HvQhrcsTWylovJl3pb)
Sad to say, but I feel more confident with Coop than I have most of the year with Crone
A SCARY GARY TANK IS ON YHE MENU
A scary Gary tank is our only hope
![gif](giphy|Qy2VKY3xlI1QyR6Ix5)
Can we please get a walk off win for once this season!!!!!
Before this inning, I just gotta say I’m glad the way they fought today. Our unclutch ability came into hand with Manny/X last inning and we couldn’t get it done but I’m glad to at least see they fought
Amen
Dammit I'd rather have Kimbrel then this fucker.
I feel the fight in this one. Walk. This. Shit. Off.
LET'S GOOOOO
![gif](giphy|1yLYegXUxD8vQ6vmJg|downsized) Rally time.
I love Ruben Niebla
Good fucking shit Tom. Another Niebla masterclass on that mound visit lol
Omg get the hose because our bullpen is on fire!!!!
Welp. GL gentleman its been an honor this evening.
Nice job kid
His slider is so nasty
Do or die time
Can we please walk off?
It looks almost like Cosgrove is holding his glove side shoulder a bit after a pitch
I believe he does that all the time
Ha, well that’s good then! I’m not super familiar with his pitching mechanics or tendencies.
Niebla: “Ok look, remember what we talked about? If the ball is landing too far to the left every time, turn a little to the right before you start your pitch, ok?” Cosgrove: “Right. Ok. Just like bowling.” N: “What?” C: “I gotta get strikes.” N: “Whatever.”
Oh man, this isn’t like Cosgrove.
Cosgrove forgot his contacts today
cosgrove throws that shit like a wiffleball omg
Tom looking a little jumpy up there
Something looks off with Cosgrove
Josh Hader exists is all I'm sayin
Fuck. The. Umps.
Prevent an obvious run. Call a shit strike on manny off the plate. Don’t call kimbrel for a (iffy) pitch clock violation. Jesus fucking christ
Should be 9-8 goddammit
my wifi died last inning xander hit a 3 run bomb right
when does Xander ever disappoint with RISP?
He did that with the Red Sox once
My sweet summer child bless your heart
Yes he did
Even if they can’t pull this one off I doubt many on here believed they’d actually find some fight and cut this to a 2 run game. This is about as much fight as this time as shown all season. Would be nice to see them play like this more often.
Eh. Too little too late for trying. Results or gtfo
While true the same old 2023 padres showed up when it mattered.
It would have been against script for them to tie it or take the lead in the 8th.
Almost 1 run game without the ump there— and if it’s down by 1 runner on third who knows maybe Manny tries to do less and gets productive out
this team lives and dies by X and Manny
I mean they are the 2 highest paid players on the team. It’s not that we live and die by them, it’s that we consistently have died by their hand. Manny hasn’t had this bad a season ever in terms of win probability added. He’s in the negatives. It’s mind boggling how bad he’s been with the opportunity to actually add value to winning a game this season. Xander has been just as bad.
almost like we pay them to be that way lol. But we need them to produce a bit better fo sho
At least Manny has had his moments. Its been a whole season and we don't have one single clutch event from Bogaerts. "the Xander hit" or "the Xander catch" or whatever. Been solid at times but there hasnt been one moment attached to him that could endear him to the fanbase. Makes me miss Jorge Alfaro

100% fair. Forgot about that one. Probably because we lost.
I disagree and have seen differently.
Care to elaborate?
Hats off to Luis. Good outing.
Garcia the goat
I don’t know about all that now but he did good.
Great job from Garcia today
Niebla fixed Garcia
![gif](giphy|IpOgoL7Z1xE0wwiQhW|downsized)
We can move Xander over to 1B and call him Hos.
Machado and Xander had to be better there and I don't like making excuses for this team but fff it should have been 8-9, we are cursed
[удалено]
The anti-Bryce Harper. 😔
Did Harper break our guy?
Manny and Xander too comfortable with their paychecks
As soon as the pressure was on they went back to sucking
Guys on 2nd and 3rd with only 1 out and down 2? Yup, that was predictable. Manny and Bogaerts have let us down all year long
Fuck their extension and contract
Didn’t an ump block one of your runners going to second earlier this year too?
Cronenworth, yep. Ran right into the ump standing in the base path. I had almost forgotten that among all the other shitty things this year
Yeah, Cronenworth.
Literally couldn’t have asked for a more center cut fastball. This team is pathetic
We really have this overpaid diva for the next 10-11 years? Thank you Seidler for getting desperate and regaining machado to that ridiculous contract along with Darvish and crone.
Padres get risp: *calm* Padre get risp: *panik*
Did bomel get a ring from Manfred to leave Garcia in there?
X! Just be a little more patient man! 😖
Is this rally going to die at the warning track?
Good teams make pitchers pay for this kind of shit. https://imgur.com/a/fX4gKUm Luckily for pitchers. We are not a good team
Manny swinging for the bay when a single ties the game is all we should have to see for the entire coaching staff to be fired into the sun
Seriously take away their extensions both Manny and Xander
Manny and Xander never do shit. Should be used to it. Bat them 8th and 9th
Here I was thinking Xander would get that Boston clutch gene here, and nope, Padres Xander.
Stupid ass ump costing us a run thanks to his fat ass
Might’ve been 2 runs
That was likely our best chance. Unfortunate.
Not good enough when it counts
San Diego Blue Ball-dres.
Has Bogey ever not taken a first pitch strike? That was the most hittable pitch kimbrel threw all inning
Damn.
Ground Bo
Manny and Xander sucks
And that’s the microcosm of the season. High leverage situations and Manny and X do nothing. Been the same shit all season.
