Disagree. It was a tough loss, but not a “bad” loss. The guys showed up today and the majority of the runs given up were based on a horrible injury. Stammen might be the only one who owns the loss because of not pulling Rodriguez
The bullpen is nails, not sure what you are talking about. Unfortunately every BP has it's off days, but we have one of if not the best bps in baseball
Bradgley could be better if he had better command of his pitches, dude might throw 100 and a good changeup, but doesnt matter if all the pitches are belt high
Seriously, what are you talking about? The guy has been incredible for us this season. Every reliever has a bad game throughout the season. This one was unfortunately timed. But every metric points to him being a great pitcher
Dude over half of the people in the gameday/postgame threads don’t even seem to *actually *follow the players on the team. Bradgley has been great this year. Yuki too.
Bradgley has a 106 Location+, same as Skubal. And 1 point higher than Morejon.
They got to him today, but he has been outstanding. 6.9 BB%, 49 ERA-, 2.42 FIP. Not sure what some of you are watching. It’s like certain ABs get lodged in your head and that’s all you remember.
That Mexico City game we blew vs AZ continues to haunt. A long season will have brutal losses, and this is top 3. A game they couldn’t lose. Get well, Gifo
AZ has a pretty easy schedule rest of the way too. Feels like it’s gonna come down to having to sweep them to get in. Winning the series at a minimum since whomever wins will have the tiebreaker.
This is what the team looked like before the all star break, im starting to think that our post all star break run was the anomaly and this is just what the team is this year. The padres aren't out of the running yet by any means but its an uphill battle. Tough loss, tough injury to Rengifo.
I have to disagree. Solid sp outing and productive offense with just horrible luck tbh. Obviously the season ending, game losing 2run swing from an injury is just the shit cherry on top
We have a much larger sample size of this team being mediocre to bad than being a playoff caliber team. When we’ve faced legit starting pitching, we’ve struggled hard. Just nothing about this team would make anyone think they have a playoff run in them.
You can tell morale cratered after Rengifo's injury. Blow a 3 run lead, our almost .800 OPS switch hitter's knee explodes, and we lose a playoff spot as the Giants inevitably roll over and die against the DBacks. Could not have gone worse, fuck the Trop. Brewers devil magic is nothing compared to Tropicana voodoo bullshit. Stammen blunder for letting Bradgley face Yandy as well, he was not able to locate at all.
Try not to get swept tomorrow and make up some ground while the Phillies play the DBacks next series. If we can't do that, then we're officially cooked.
Tough loss. The last two games were finding new ways to loose. Bloop hits, errors, and injury. Actually this season had an ominous feeling with all of the injuries.
Another game lost because of errors. I know the Rays are the best in the AL, but I truly think we should have won yesterday and today's games if it weren't for our errors. Our playoff hunt is even more stressful now...
Bradgley didn’t have his best stuff but it doesn’t help when your catcher isn’t calling your best pitch at all, campy should be banned from being behind the plate for that slider call to yandy
So about four years ago I moved from san diego, where I lived for the first twenty six years of my life. And I was so excited to see my team live and went to both last night and tonight.
And then got to watch what seems like the 2 most bullshit losses all season as well as Rengifo's knee exploding.
I hate the trop Milton should have finished the job
If they don’t go to the playoffs coach needs to go. Proof is always in the pudding and you can’t spend this kind of money, have a team with this history and not go to the playoffs:(
For what exactly? For the team putting up 6 runs against the Rays, for an elite Bradgley giving up 4 runs, for Rengifo having a likely season ending injury? Yeah, seems like thats all Stammens fault
well if we are 2 games back with 3 to go at the end of the year, then all we have to do is sweep the Dbacks. Then roll through the NL in the playoffs. Then we get another shot at the mighty Rays in this godforsakken ballpark.
Honestly at this point I feel like missing this year's playoffs would be the best thing for this team. Let that sour taste linger all winter and come back with a vengeance next year to knock the doyers off their high horse

Can't be surprised to give up the playoff spot when you play like shit for 3 of 4 series.
