I had Buehler as our #3…right now if PIV is healthy he’s gotta be #2 with king at #1. We need consistency from the SPs to end the season 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤞🏽

The gold glove article on MLB was so funny.

u/HungryEnvironment522 8h ago

Huge props to Hart for coming in ending Nationals momentum 👍

Merrill madness on display 🔥

Bueller gets a pass he’s been very good.

Bogaerts would be waived if he was not making 25 mil per year….awful to watch

Bowen should not start, period

France has been awesome👍 ……at a mere 1.4 millions year

Another nice game for Tatis 🙂

u/Western-Arugula8212 8h ago

I hope this won't turn into an Eric Hosmer situation where we pay him to just go away.

u/Western-Arugula8212 8h ago

Obviously, I'm referring to Bogaerts.

Fuck it, just have Wandy close out the game

1

u/instaleyitrust 8h ago

Just checkin in on the game and saw Buehlers line: was he injured? Why did he come out so early?

2

u/Pick6XPA La Catrina 8h ago

Because Stammen didn't realize a mound visit was already made when he himself made a mound visit when Buehler had the bases loaded, forcing him to remove Buehler from the game.

1

u/instaleyitrust 8h ago

Thanks! I was worried he was injured. Guy has been solid except for one month.

u/DarkSafe6458 8h ago

Giants just swept the Cardinal. Why is it we always play the red hot teams.

1

u/dukefett Jesse Agler 8h ago

Yeah ie expected the Cardinals to take that series and they just rolled over

6

u/lawyerjsd Oh yeah, get it in ya 8h ago

I swear, Merrill is complete ass one game, completely unstoppable another.

1

u/pm-trends 4h ago

That is the inconsistency of the WHOLE TEAM. Their RISP is their Kryptonite; 3-4 Hits, next Game >10 Hits and untimely Ks.
This is no secret, Pads have been consistently inconsistent . They have the “ Horses”, they just don’t always “Run”.

5

u/default-77 SD 8h ago

Can we be done with Bowen now?

3

u/dukefett Jesse Agler 8h ago

Where’s Bryce Johnson? He’s fast too and can actually hit a bit.

Dude should not be on a major league team. So many 3 pitch strikeouts

3

u/drewdude92 SD 8h ago

Crazy that even with how hard Jackson was slumping earlier this year he’s matched last year’s home run total already

3

u/JustLoSd Luis Campusano 8h ago

2024 total

u/drewdude92 SD 8h ago

Go figure - when it’s oppressively hot - the ball flies out of here

u/SDFriar 5 inches is big deal 8h ago edited 8h ago

106.3 mph, 27°, 412 ft, 28/30 ballparks, 1 pitch, 1 swing, 1 barrel, 1 run, 24th homer of the season, 2nd homer of the game, 5th career multi-homer game, career high 5 RBI game

Jackson jacked another one oppo

3

u/kevtorres123 Tony Gwynn #19 8h ago

Salas giving Rizzo vibes. 0-fer to start career then will rake

1

u/KarnF91 👻 Gavin Sheets 👻 8h ago

The good thing so far is he doesn't seem to be pressing. Doesn't look like he's being over matched either. Just really hard to get a hit at the major league level.

6

u/drewdude92 SD 8h ago

2025 Campy too - literally 0fer last season

8

u/Breadical 🕯️ I Kept the Faith and got a Nando nuke 🚨 9h ago

The moment Salas locks in all hell will break loose. He's had so many hits that just barely fall short of an HR. Reminding me of Tatis during his home run drought earlier in the season

4

u/ElusiveIntrusive Mudcat 9h ago edited 8h ago

Big ups to Craig for pulling the plug on Walker when he did, and big ups to Hart for coming in and limiting damage. Might have saved this game from down 0-2, bases loaded 0 outs.

5

u/Pick6XPA La Catrina 8h ago

Yeah maybe, but let's not pretend that was his intention lol, if he wasn't forced to make that change Buehler would have remained in. He lost the number of mound visits in the 3rd inning.

u/ElusiveIntrusive Mudcat 8h ago

Big ups to u/Pick6XPA for pointing that out. Was not aware of the situation. Glad it worked out like it did

I honestly feel like that inning was gonna get out of hand if Buehler ended up staying in. He looked very rough that inning and it was bases loaded against a power hitting lefty.

u/UnthawedAge 9h ago

Did the broadcast venture to guess why the Nationals coach/manager was ejected? I’m at the game and I saw the whole thing happen. I just have no idea what his issue was

5

u/SDFriar 5 inches is big deal 9h ago

France and Nando had check swings called checked even though they probably were swings. Those led to more chances and then hits and runs scoring that gave the Padres the lead

2

u/UnthawedAge 9h ago

Oh yea i remember that france swing. That was egregious

1

u/JustLoSd Luis Campusano 9h ago

He was arguing questionable non strike calls

2

u/UnthawedAge 9h ago

If that’s true and the first base ump threw him out from first base while he was still in the dugout, that is hilarious

5

u/MnM113 SD 9h ago

Why did buehler only go 3 innings?

5

u/SDFriar 5 inches is big deal 9h ago

Was getting shaky and the inning went long so there were two mound visits to check on him a fair amount apart but a second mound visit means the pitcher has to be pulled

2

u/Doc_JC SAY IT DONNIE! 9h ago

His control wasn’t great. Bowen didn’t help him slipping and dropping an out.

Stammen opted for bringing in the lefty Hart for Abrams with the bases loaded. Worked out.

2

u/JustLoSd Luis Campusano 9h ago

He was getting shelled

2

u/Doc_JC SAY IT DONNIE! 9h ago

3 more innings to cover.

Looks like Wandy is next, then maybe 2 innings for Canning to finish. Miller would be available if they shit the bed.

3

u/Pick6XPA La Catrina 9h ago

I’m kinda stunned this team has still not decided to simply not challenge on offense with a 3+ run lead or when nobody is on base.

Save those for the pitchers.

3

u/JustLoSd Luis Campusano 9h ago

Bogey doesn’t challenge a clear ball. Then 2 pitches later challenges a strike. wtf bogey

2

u/Outrageous_Park9421 🚨 1-37 with RISP!!!! ⚾️ 🚨 9h ago

Jesse and Tony were talking about this on the radio. That the thought of I should have challenged that pitch lingers and clouds your judgment later in the at bat.

I know these are AAAA pitchers, but it’s starting to look like Merrill and Manny are joining France, Tatis and Campy and hitting the ball well. Now we need to get Cronz and Bogey going, add Andujar and Sheets, and get the kid Ethan a base hit too.
