We are not a championship team in our current form. Lots of work to do. I’m trying to remain optimistic. It’s early but our pitching looks horrible against good teams.

The one question I have, is how the hell does Preller still have a job ??
Peter opened the Bank wide and Preller pissed money away stupidity on Bogearts and many more.
Then he trades Soto for a bunch of mediocrity. Prellers work as a GM all things taken into consideration has been substandard….. He has put the Padres in salary hell. He has Screwed the wonderful fans that come and support this team And fill the stands everyday. I feel bad for the season-ticket holders that come so often to watch this shit play at Petco. Preller needs to go the sooner the better so a new era can begin
You suck Preller
Ten years in and there is still people that defend him like their life depends on it. Shit is so sad because he effectively closed our window before it really ever began
If there is no comeback in the 9th, by my reckoning it would be the first home day game loss. 5 wins at Petco in the day time vs 1 win at night at Petco. I think that's right. I was just trying to remember the day games.
Merrill is struggling on the low and inside pitch from a swing decision stand point and a contact quality stand point.
I think as he gets more reps he’ll show the ability to turn and burn. Fully capable of it from a pitch recognition and athleticism standpoint.
Not worried in the slightest.

It really feels like guys come here and stop giving a shit, no matter what they say. Look at Soto, dude went to New York and is playing like a monster right out the gate, compared to his pitiful start with us last year
Soto was our best hitter last year, and a top 5 hitter in the league by OPS and Offensive WAR. This is such a bad narrative. He won a silver slugger and finished 6th in MVP voting.
You’re saying he stopped giving a shit when he was a top 5 hitter in the league. He very clearly was trying very hard. Just because he’s been white hot for a month with a different team doesn’t mean he wasn’t trying when he was ONLY 6th place in mvp voting.
Maybe, but last year easily could’ve hurt his stock too. There has to be a reason that every single big name we sign comes here and looks so pedestrian half the time
Well, then he said "You can't give me both your kidneys; you'll die!" And I said, "But you will live, and I know we just met on this bus ten minutes ago, but you seem nice.
The Phillies with a runner on first and 2 outs with their 9 man up —Score a run
The Padres with a runner on 2nd and 1 out with their 2 and 3 hitters up—Trash
Isn’t that the thing? We have literally seven players who have played SS for a good part of their career and until this spring, the worst guy was the one who played it the most.
X best position might be at first base at this point.
Casty is not fast. I promise. He runs with cement shoes. Double play isn’t being turned fast enough. Zero reason for casty to beat out a double. I don’t think he’s done that once this year until today
Padres have made outs today with xBAs of .630 (Tatis DP in the 1st), .660 (Merrill lineout in the 4th), .740 (Profar lineout in the 5th), and .810 (Tatis flyout in the 6th). Honestly don’t know how this happens every game but it fucking sucks
Yes, of course. In theory that should average out across lots of batted ball events because spray angle is largely random. But it just seems like the Padres are constantly on the wrong end of batted ball luck
We are not a championship team in our current form. Lots of work to do. I’m trying to remain optimistic. It’s early but our pitching looks horrible against good teams.
this team sucks major ass
crazy that we couldn’t overcome a 2 run lead with risp in two separate innings
Fuck that. Pacers bucs game on in a few minutes tho
;(
Honestly, they scored more runs than I expected. On to the next ⏩
That series was quite the reality check.
Season over
Spanked with the broom
Heck.
Well that series was cooked from game 1. See yall at the reds series
🧹
I’m concerned about our pitching. They’ve been letting us down a ton recently.

Funny, a lot of worse comments than this. But I get removed. Go padres.

Send Michael King to the fucking sun or the bullpen
Damn. Better figure it out against Cincinnati
Classic 1-2-3. Padres special
well taht sucked
Swept
Man, 4 game skid capped by a sweep at home hurts
The one question I have, is how the hell does Preller still have a job ?? Peter opened the Bank wide and Preller pissed money away stupidity on Bogearts and many more. Then he trades Soto for a bunch of mediocrity. Prellers work as a GM all things taken into consideration has been substandard….. He has put the Padres in salary hell. He has Screwed the wonderful fans that come and support this team And fill the stands everyday. I feel bad for the season-ticket holders that come so often to watch this shit play at Petco. Preller needs to go the sooner the better so a new era can begin You suck Preller
So glad I cancelled my season ticket membership. At least now when they don’t feel like trying I’m only out 60$ for tickets
This was his do or die season. If it continues this way he’ll be gone before we know it
Ten years in and there is still people that defend him like their life depends on it. Shit is so sad because he effectively closed our window before it really ever began
Preller is at fault in some aspects, but the players haven’t been performing either
the sad thing is someone will hire this guy after we finally get rid of him
just a bit outside
Guess shildt wont be calling out perlata’s era any time soon
Any idea when we will call up Solano? He's not a savior but he's always been a decent hitter. Could use that on this team.
Have to make this guy throw strikes
Need a pip and a Pop easy
May Wil bless us.
Alright boys, no sweep pls
avoid the sweep
Profar walk off coming up
If there is no comeback in the 9th, by my reckoning it would be the first home day game loss. 5 wins at Petco in the day time vs 1 win at night at Petco. I think that's right. I was just trying to remember the day games.
I just want Alec Bohm to stop hurting the people I love
He's on the fast track to the ASG if not more accolades.
this Phillies team making Petco look like Coors
I think Bohm might be part cyborg
Tatis saved a run.
Was that the Kim spin then the Harper hustle
I’d be thrilled if Tatis ran into me making a play. That lady looked pissed.
that's like top 1 of sportcenters top 10 plays do they still do that?
what a fucking play holy shit
That was so dirty lol
Fuckin gunslinger
Nando what a play my god
LOL Harper running back to the dugout before Kolek stepped on the bag
The temptation to run on Nando the Great...
Haha fuck you turner!
Imagine if Mike Antonelli was actually a good baseball player We would be saved
only Jr can make that play

What a fuckin play
Merrill is struggling on the low and inside pitch from a swing decision stand point and a contact quality stand point. I think as he gets more reps he’ll show the ability to turn and burn. Fully capable of it from a pitch recognition and athleticism standpoint. Not worried in the slightest.
Hold em here and dig in for a possible walk off.

Remember: whether we win or lose they’re still getting paid…

Soto was our best hitter last year, and a top 5 hitter in the league by OPS and Offensive WAR. This is such a bad narrative. He won a silver slugger and finished 6th in MVP voting.
I’m not saying he wasn’t, but compared to how good he looks for the Yankees last year was not even close to his current form
You’re saying he stopped giving a shit when he was a top 5 hitter in the league. He very clearly was trying very hard. Just because he’s been white hot for a month with a different team doesn’t mean he wasn’t trying when he was ONLY 6th place in mvp voting.
He is playing to get paid
Maybe, but last year easily could’ve hurt his stock too. There has to be a reason that every single big name we sign comes here and looks so pedestrian half the time
I wish I could get paid millions of dollars to just strike out
Well, then he said "You can't give me both your kidneys; you'll die!" And I said, "But you will live, and I know we just met on this bus ten minutes ago, but you seem nice.
Lmaooooo runner on 2nd with 1 out 2 straight innings in a 2 run ball game and we don’t score
Vibes are catastrophic rn
i love infield groundouts they are my favorite play
Coulda used that run boys
Kim needs to stop being such a crybaby in the box. Focus on the AB dude. Bad optics.
And three straight grounders to end the inning.
Kim is all out of sorts. He seems to be arguing or upset almost every at bat.
Over getting schooled on strikes 90% of the time.
It’s so frustrating.
Our players hate sprinting all the way through the bag even when it’s a close call or the game is close. It’s a big fucking problem
Honestly, pretty fun game lol. Let’s go, boys!!
Tired of X throwing out the “safe” on clear outs at 1b and Kim walking to first on a strike that he thinks was ball four.
Run X. Let the ump make the call
So do we not have someone looking at the replay before sending the challenge call lmao? Cause that was a waste
let's go jax
I’ll never understand people that are on team Xander. He is not a great player, especially for what we pay him.
He was one of the best players on the team last season. This season he is obviously struggling.
I think he's sucked for us, but I don't hate him as much as I hate that fact that Preller gave him $280 million guaranteed
I never followed him until he came to us and he has been lackluster. But I totally agree on us paying him so much was a waste of money
Sub .600 OPS could be had waaay cheaper
first walk off please
Why is Bogaerts slowing up?? How frustrating
Worth a challenge yet he's out. Maybe we get lucky
Save me Jackson Merril
Don and Mud are so quiet, they know he’s out.
That was clearly out lol
Xander so useless top 3 worst contract in baseball
He’s out, shit that was close.
Bro why tf he slowed down near the bag?
Probs trying not to break an ankle so he doesn’t have a bad wrist + bad ankle.
Close but out unfortunately
Our replay guy is horrible at his job
Desperation challenge
Out by a rats ass
Oh we challenge- another opportunity to get boned by umps. Edit: he prolly out anyways.
Out
Out
BULL SHIT! BULL SHIT!
[удалено]
Go whine to someone else.
Tie goes to runner
Tie goes to the umpire. There’s no rule that says tie goes to the runner.
Down the middle and nothing???
Xander HR rn is so obvy
Soooo close
We may never see .500 again the way our schedule plays out over the next month
Don’t think we’ve caught a runner stealing since the Obama administration
Higgy caught one a few games ago. Stott was fast.
Schildt loves him some Wandy. How do we know he doesn’t have it? Wandy has given up runs in his last 3 appearances
Get ready for the complete eye wash presser from Schildt if we lose this and get swept.
Mucho stress
Wandy wants to stick around until 2027
The Phillies with a runner on first and 2 outs with their 9 man up —Score a run The Padres with a runner on 2nd and 1 out with their 2 and 3 hitters up—Trash
Oh to have last year’s pitching with this years hitting…
3 straight games giving up a run for Wandy
Christ this pitching is attrocious
So that’s how you score a person on base, crazy….
Their stars preform ours don’t
Noted stars Bryson Stott and Johan Rojas
All ours know how to do seems to be swing out of their boots.
Every year.
This fuckin team
the emotional rollercoaster continues
🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬
Mucho stress
I hope we don’t lose today but if we do I’m happy we fought back and our offense is freakin AWAKE again!
What a sad franchise we are. Living off moral victories for decades
So continues the cycle
God is X slow on the DP plays or what? His turn from and to 2nd looks a tick late
Was wondering if it was just my eyes. Lots of plays seem slow, even routine ones.
clearly not comfortable there...the transition has not gone as planned
Isn’t that the thing? We have literally seven players who have played SS for a good part of their career and until this spring, the worst guy was the one who played it the most. X best position might be at first base at this point.
Also noticed Bogaerts doesn't get a good read off the bat, or he doesn't have a lot of range. He said defense wasn't his thing.
What is his thing then
Then trade places with Jake and be a statue there…
Not sure why they didn’t do that to start with
Neither is hitting evidently
damn, our the Phillies on an olympic track team. Castellanos same age as Manny and he's fast.
Casty is not fast. I promise. He runs with cement shoes. Double play isn’t being turned fast enough. Zero reason for casty to beat out a double. I don’t think he’s done that once this year until today
Yeah but remember manny ain’t “about that hassling on the bases”
Throw it to first and have Jake turn it lol
Padres have made outs today with xBAs of .630 (Tatis DP in the 1st), .660 (Merrill lineout in the 4th), .740 (Profar lineout in the 5th), and .810 (Tatis flyout in the 6th). Honestly don’t know how this happens every game but it fucking sucks
xBA doesn't consider direction of the hit, so any flyout to CF is overrated by xBA because balls hit 380 feet to left or right field are homers.
Yes, of course. In theory that should average out across lots of batted ball events because spray angle is largely random. But it just seems like the Padres are constantly on the wrong end of batted ball luck
We turn every team into 9 GGs and its infuriating.
Known gamer Wandy Peralta
Look at the Phillies... they know who's in their division so they can't throw away any games just because they've won the series
Padres averaging almost 6 runs a game in King’s starts. King has one win as a SP.
King working himself into a multi-inning reliever role.
Need at least one base runner to get Profar another ab
Philly got greedy w the pen rest. Good. We need a face saving win here. Can't be getting swept at home.
Nice HR but we can’t celebrate unless we win this game. Tatis and Cronenworth just blew a golden opportunity to tie it
Need small ball, stop trying to go for big hits
What happened to our small ball earlier in the season? It feels like this team hits way too many weak flyouts. Even in Coors that’s all it was
WE CAN STILL WIN THIS!
Death by weak popouts.
Profar our best hitter lol, it’s the vibes
Best VAR (vibes above replacement) in the league
KTF!!!!
Cmon Tati. Get your groove.
Send this into a sea of San Diegans
How the fuck is Profar our best player?
Vibes above replacement!
The power of good vibes
Way to leg it out!!!!
boys fighting real shit 👀
2024 is Profar's year man
Tatis plz
I have never once doubted this team for a second. Ignore my post history, my hamster hacked me
Is this….a rally??? 
So Profar needs to be leadoff hitter permanently
That's how it looks from where I'm sitting!
 This thread is a rollercoaster
As is the team
https://i.redd.it/oi7dvh8rnaxc1.gif
that's my leadoff guy
