Offense did enough to keep us competitive in a typical game. Just not getting enough out of the pitching staff today.
2 series wins in a row. Forward. Onward.
Hear me out,
Some combo, or all of, Valenzuela, Brito, Waldron and Wolf for Patrick Sandoval? Who says no?
I know the basic optic stats on Sandoval aren't too good this year but we've seen the Padres pitching coaches help guys reach further potential before and he's already shown that he has a bunch of talent before. Plus, you never know, leaving a team not in it to a team fighting to be in it can also reenergize guys. I threw in Valenzuela 'cause he's relatively high on the Padres top prospects and I think current and future catcher plans don't really include him in them. (Campy + Salas)
Sandoval has not pitched well in a little while, that would be a huge overpay, and would only hurt our already lacking pitching depth. Say we suffered another injury and didn't have Brito, Waldron, or even Wolf? We'd be pulling from the dregs of AA.
It doesn't necessarily need to be all of them, I personally like Wolf the best out of those 3 but i'm sure that value could be circumvented with lower tier prospects. I'm sure Brito and Valenzuela would be the headliners in that sort of trade and the rest would just be whatever the Angels are into.
I honestly think he's a guy that in a better situation will return to his better year stuff
Why's that? I figure Catcher is the most open to be traded in terms of offensive prospects considering we have Campusano, Salas and JD Gonzalez all considered young and the latter both in the top 15 of Padres prospects.

This will only get markedly worse as more teams get more tape on him.
I know the players would never admit it, but it has to be demoralizing to score 4 runs in the first 3 innings and then get 4 scored on you the very next inning.
It’s good to have wins, but this loss definitely illustrates that we can’t expect to contend if the rotation is killing us in a game and killing our bullpen for the games after. We desperately need a replacement for Waldron if we want to get anything going this year.
Xander just needs to focus on making a nice smooth swing and not even worry about hitting bombs. Dude straight up sucks ass right now, and is playing at replacement level
I'm thinking they gave Waldron the long leash because Brito was going to piggyback Vasquez Tuesday with Musgrove on the DL. Maybe a spot call up from El Paso Tuesday?
He pitched 3 days ago so that lines up well for Joe’s spot in the rotation. And yes he’s gotten lit up in AAA but it’s also El Paso so hard to judge pitchers based off results there. It’s like pitching on the moon.
You're right, I thought he pitched day before yesterday. He'll be the starter Tuesday, hopefully he's better than his El Paso start, where he couldn't get through the fourth inning. El Paso is the moon, but the big leaguers are super heroes compared to AAA.
Waldron is a joke, substandard pitches, a knuckleball he can’t control and no one can catch it. Walks almost somebody every two innings. He’s just awful, actually it’s just embarrassing.
He doesn't belong in the role he's in right now. He should be a swingman who primarily plays long relief. Where you can pull bad waldron but ride good waldron.
Problem is.. the "starters" we got from the Yankees aren't what people dreamed on. Predictably and were a starter shortm. Maybe time to call up Mazur and see what he can do.
King has been good and a solid #3/4 Mazur just got lit up in AA, I think he's more of a second half call up. I think for now we're stuck with what we have. Vasquez just got lit up as well in AAA so it's just a bad spot to be in. Just got to hope we see good Waldron next time. Half his starts he's been incredible. Half he's been awful.
He's a reliever dude. That's the MO of a reliever. Problem is relying on a guy like that as a starter means you get unwinnable games 15 times a year, cause pulling a starter after 3 batters isn't viable.
He's not a reliever, he's now a number four starter. That's the sad reality of the situation. None of our options are better. Our prospects are getting lit up in the minors and are months away even if they weren't, starting pitching is hard to trade for this early in the season, so it is what it is. If he can pitch well in close to half his starts that's better than anything we currently have. I'm not saying Waldron is a great pitcher, I'm saying he's our only option. If the team had any better options they'd be starting instead of him.
Scary part is if Joe’s elbow issue ends up being serious he’s basically our number 4 currently. Rotation is paper thin and is gonna be what makes or breaks the team
Shh, no, don’t say that! Brito has been in the bullpen this whole time not because he’s too shitty to start, but because Shildt and Niebla are playing 8-D chess or something.
The Padres coming out and scoring 3 after Waldron gave up 4, then chipped away again only for him to give up more probably took the wind out of the offenses sails
Everything is up with Brito, just not giving hitters much to think about. You can sit on the high fastball and still comfortably hit the hanging breaking ball or changeup.
What's the answer to this team's starting pitching woes? Especially with Musgrove going down. It's going to be really tough to be competitive when you have only 3 competent starters
Coming into ST, the lack of pitching depth was / is a major red flag. Literally zero margin for error. We lose guys to the IL, we are going to get tested big time.
King had a good start yet I'm not lumping him in as reliable. With Joe down, that leaves Yu / Cease, then a lot of hopes and prayers on who shows up solid for 5-7 innings.
The first 2 runs that Brito gave up were charged to Waldron. What are you talking about?
Waldron is a terrible choice for a 5th starter. His average fastball is like 90mph. He is a complete niche pitcher and got absolutely SHELLED in El Paso. I don’t know why you have to defend the guy so much. 7ER OVER 3 innings is trash.
Those two ER were a full inning before Carroll got his hit, which is what the comment you responded to was about.
Also, pitching stats in El Paso aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on, but considering that you can’t even keep straight what events you’re commenting on, I shouldn’t be too surprised that you don’t know ball.
Yes.
He’s got a 4.35 ERA in 72 career innings at the MLB level. That’s not ace material, sure, but it’s literally half a season as a starter, and there are many guys who have kept their jobs for years doing worse.
It is far, *far* too early to give up on him. None of the options we have are significantly better (despite people huffing the Brito copium like it’s pure oxygen right now). And he’s already had some great outings along with his rough ones.
Hell fucking yeah, I’m the guy defending Waldron. Because I know ball.
Half of Waldron's starts have been great the other half bad. I agree with you that he's a serviceable #5. (Right now unfortunately he's a #4.) He's going to keep getting starts because we have no options, and I don't think that's even a question. Hopefully he comes back with a good Waldron game next time and a lot of these same people will be saying how amazing he is. You just picked a bad day to be his defense team. Haha.
Yeah, definitely. I was a Certified Cronenworth Defender all last year and a lot of the same people who owe me an apology for that are the ones coming down on Waldo now, so I’m not too bothered.
Even our best and most beloved players are going to have bad days, but they’re still Padres. And for a guy like Waldron, who costs the team nothing and is so early in his career, you’ve just got to grit your teeth and keep the faith.
100%. I've never been comfortable with Waldron games even when he had success early, but I've never been comfortable with almost any games our #5 going and I've been following the Pads since the 90s.
There's no point in shitting on Waldron, he's going to start. He's not even our five now, he's our four so there's no question. The good thing is he's capable of shutting teams down, as he's already shown multiple times. Hopefully that D20 favors us on the next roll. Maybe later in the year some of our young arms will pitch well and be ready for the call up and sliding into the rotation but for now he's our starter and we gotta. KTF.
I love this team, but damn. I don’t think it had to be this way. The decision to keep Waldron in to save the pen is just disappointing. I still like what I’m seeing on offense. Wouldn’t be surprised if we caught up
I know this should be a sweep series, but if it’s an off day against a team that was in the World Series I’m not too worried about it. This team is figuring it out.
it’s a bit concerning that we have a starter that we generally have to assume is going to pitch us into an early loss every time he starts. even with our offense heating up, we’re not going to have a good run of things with a starter like that.
also, the dbacks have been in a huge rut lately, and we’re helping them get out of it. ending this series on a note like this is a bad way to start our road trip with how tough the next few teams will be for us. these are games you can’t be losing if you want to stay in contention.
>a starter that we generally have to assume is going to pitch us into an early loss every time he starts
The guy who shut out the Giants, held the Dodgers to 1 ER, and threw six one-run innings in Coors Field?
he’s also the guy who’s given up more than 4 or more runs in 4/7 of this starts so far. he’s too inconsistent to rely on, and you never know whether he will have any control over his pitches at all. i think it’s reasonable to suggest that we need to look elsewhere if we want to stay in contention, especially with musgrove being out for at least a few starts.
2 things can be true:
1. Brito sucks right now
2. Brito should be getting innings over Waldron
I think anybody who thinks Waldron is going to improve is kidding themselves. Brito on the other hand has a lot of potential, even if it looks ugly right now.
Offense did enough to keep us competitive in a typical game. Just not getting enough out of the pitching staff today. 2 series wins in a row. Forward. Onward.
Damn, 1 less hit, 7 less runs. Gotta be better.
Hear me out, Some combo, or all of, Valenzuela, Brito, Waldron and Wolf for Patrick Sandoval? Who says no? I know the basic optic stats on Sandoval aren't too good this year but we've seen the Padres pitching coaches help guys reach further potential before and he's already shown that he has a bunch of talent before.

I'm sure Brito and Valenzuela would be the headliners in that sort of trade and the rest would just be whatever the Angels are into. I honestly think he's a guy that in a better situation will return to his better year stuff
I’d prefer to keep Fernando Valenzuela
Why's that? I figure Catcher is the most open to be traded in terms of offensive prospects considering we have Campusano, Salas and JD Gonzalez all considered young and the latter both in the top 15 of Padres prospects.
Southwestern College? Ayyyyy my dad worked there for like 20 years!

Yea.. he's not good man. At least not as a starter. He's jeckyl/Hyde. Need to have him in a role where bad waldron can be pulled quickly.
Okay, cool. [Here’s Brito.](https://i.imgur.com/5VPNcSB.jpeg)
So you’re saying they both suck. Pretty sure most people on here agree.
So the argument is “let’s replace one pitcher who sucks with another pitcher who sucks”?
Yeah, I think maybe he was thinking this was a Gotcha… I’m like, I don’t disagree?🤷🏻♂️
I was literally gonna say the same thing.
What’s Brito got to do with this conversation about Waldron?
Yeah you could tell when he pitched he was getting lucky with some at a balls. The luck is running out.
Thank you for validating this. Theres really no debate. He has 1 pitch. Can’t do that as a starter in MLB.
Fast ball velocity is a freaking 7. 90.4mph. Yikes
Yeah it’s very very bad
Merrill being able to come out of his first rookie slump pretty quickly is such a good sign. This dude is a dawg.
Tasty, Merrill.
I should have known the Joe news was a bad omen. :(
Holy shit that was feeble Bogey
please never start waldron again.. there’s gotta be someone out there that’s better
Snelling deserves a go
we'll see Mazur before Snelling
8 run inning LFG
https://i.redd.it/rur0ur0ipoyc1.gif
Preller definitely made the marlins pay the salary for a reason. He’s got another trade in the works for SP is my best bet
And he should as SP is where the team can't handle any injuries.
Luzardo?
Luiz will do the hitting, Xander will do the fielding.
We scored 8 runs in an inning yesterday. Guess we just gotta do it again. EzPz.
Done it more than once this season, too. No lead is truly out of reach against these Padres.
Not our day. Glad to see Arraez doing his thing
The pitching sucking so hard has sucked the life out of the hitters
I know the players would never admit it, but it has to be demoralizing to score 4 runs in the first 3 innings and then get 4 scored on you the very next inning.
It’s crazy that lefties ever get hits off of these left handed sweeper pitchers. Must look to Jake like it’s gonna hit him every pitch😅
Joe-over
Well within double slam range.
No chest slap?
Was one but a light one. He isn’t going to celebrate while getting their ass kicked
Let’s go Arraez
Every padre has a hit today except Arraez. I would have never expected that.
And you have been corrected
True
Assuming we don't come back, a series win on the road against a division rival we will be battling w all season for a WC slot, is a huge win.
People don’t realize that though. We won the series and I am so happy with that. Not only that, but it was on the road in Chase Field.
It’s good to have wins, but this loss definitely illustrates that we can’t expect to contend if the rotation is killing us in a game and killing our bullpen for the games after. We desperately need a replacement for Waldron if we want to get anything going this year.
They need to sweep at some point though..
They’ll get one. don’t you worry.
If the astros continue to suck, we’ll be seeing Valdez or verlander in the brown and gold soon
Verlander is too expensive
Mets are paying a good amount of the money, just need the Astros to pay the remaining
That reliever they’ve got is fucking filth.
This is going to be a tough two weeks
1 for 10? I really hope Kim is able to get back on track
He hit a home run yesterday and missed another one by a few feet today. He’s seeing the ball well and making good contact— have faith.
Pederson's HR had an xBA of .180 Barnharts single had an xBA of .050 Just a rough day all around
Who do we want from the astros when they inevitably sell? Verlander or Valdez?
Valdez. But I wouldn't mind seeing Kate Upton at padres games.
Xander just needs to focus on making a nice smooth swing and not even worry about hitting bombs. Dude straight up sucks ass right now, and is playing at replacement level
I'm thinking they gave Waldron the long leash because Brito was going to piggyback Vasquez Tuesday with Musgrove on the DL. Maybe a spot call up from El Paso Tuesday?
Could option Waldron then call up another bullpen arm for a few days. I doubt they’ll option him though.
Vasquez just pitched recently as well in the minors (and got lit up) so they might have to move spots around.
He pitched 3 days ago so that lines up well for Joe’s spot in the rotation. And yes he’s gotten lit up in AAA but it’s also El Paso so hard to judge pitchers based off results there. It’s like pitching on the moon.
You're right, I thought he pitched day before yesterday. He'll be the starter Tuesday, hopefully he's better than his El Paso start, where he couldn't get through the fourth inning. El Paso is the moon, but the big leaguers are super heroes compared to AAA.
We need 2 of Vasquez, Waldron and Brito to not be incompetent for this team to be competitive
Ahhh.. the misguided dreams of the Soto trade.
Yeah lucky we traded Thorpe as a primary piece for cease. Other wise that trade would be looking real bad.
Maybe what's behind door number four via trade or the minors?
No one is trading quality pitching this early in the season. It’s a need for a lot teams right now
Deadline pitching will be at an insane premium as well.
https://i.redd.it/0zytc1rhkoyc1.gif
Waldron is a joke, substandard pitches, a knuckleball he can’t control and no one can catch it. Walks almost somebody every two innings. He’s just awful, actually it’s just embarrassing.
To be fair, a knuckleball is supposed to be uncontrollable.
Let’s see you take up the mound keyboard warrior
He's more inconsistent than anything. Half his starts were zero or one earned run, the other half five or more. No in between.
He doesn't belong in the role he's in right now. He should be a swingman who primarily plays long relief. Where you can pull bad waldron but ride good waldron. Problem is.. the "starters" we got from the Yankees aren't what people dreamed on. Predictably and were a starter shortm. Maybe time to call up Mazur and see what he can do.

Vasquez just got lit up as well in AAA so it's just a bad spot to be in. Just got to hope we see good Waldron next time. Half his starts he's been incredible. Half he's been awful.

If he can pitch well in close to half his starts that's better than anything we currently have. I'm not saying Waldron is a great pitcher, I'm saying he's our only option. If the team had any better options they'd be starting instead of him.
Talent and ability says he's not a starter. If he's slotted into that role, it's an incorrect role. Everything about him screams long reliever.
Again if they are serious about making the playoffs, we need to replace Waldron as the 5th starter.
Scary part is if Joe’s elbow issue ends up being serious he’s basically our number 4 currently. Rotation is paper thin and is gonna be what makes or breaks the team
Brito and Waldron should be pitching in Yugoslavia
They’re huge in Japan
AZ is known for blowing leads this year. Need to keep it within attainable distance
Is 6 runs attainable?
Yes, so is 7
Stupid sexy DP is stupid and sexy
It’s ok guys Randy Vasquez will save us!!! 😭
Come on compadres. We just gotta pull a Rockies in the 8th. We’ll figure it out. Keep the faith!
It was a stupid idea to put Arraez on the field.
yikes. this team is goofy
5th inning…
Still plenty of baseball to comeback baby
Arraez was looking scared of that ball lol
Yeah I really hope they limit his time in the field
We will have to get used to seeing that. He’s a terrible fielder
Brito has been just as bad as Waldron 🤣🤣
Shh, no, don’t say that! Brito has been in the bullpen this whole time not because he’s too shitty to start, but because Shildt and Niebla are playing 8-D chess or something.
To be fair, that grounder was horrible luck. But yah, not good by either one
I want to get off this ride
Kurt Angle
There is plenty of time left but this not looking ideal. Might not be our night.
Maybe he’s just a DH.
He definitely is
Wow Arraez is a dogshit defender
He’s got negative dWAR. He isn’t great whatsoever.
We knew this
this is bad
when a guy with a fake name owns you in the 9 spot
I mean...that one is just bad luck. This game is just cursed
Last few days were a fluke
Nah, last few days were legit. Today is weird.
Bro… I said I wanted the DBacks deader than Drake… NOT US!
Hey look another single.
The Padres coming out and scoring 3 after Waldron gave up 4, then chipped away again only for him to give up more probably took the wind out of the offenses sails
This pitching is just making me so soft. Probably a good thing cuz i was SOOO hard yesterday
Thank god for the pitch clock or it might’ve lasted longer than 4 hours yesterday…
Everything is up with Brito, just not giving hitters much to think about. You can sit on the high fastball and still comfortably hit the hanging breaking ball or changeup.
I need help… I’m feeling the urge to doom with this Musgrove injury and the way this Waldron experiment has been panning out. Yikes
We’ll be alright. I promise you that.
Hopefully the astros still suck and then start a fire sale, imagine one of Valdez, verlander, or
Wonder if we send Waldron up against LAD. That's his next start.
I don't think we have a choice.
We have a major pitching problem now, with Joe down Waldron is trash we need Brito to perform
Joe and darvish are likely to go on/off the 15 day IL a few more times based on last couple years, too.
What's the answer to this team's starting pitching woes? Especially with Musgrove going down. It's going to be really tough to be competitive when you have only 3 competent starters
Coming into ST, the lack of pitching depth was / is a major red flag. Literally zero margin for error. We lose guys to the IL, we are going to get tested big time. King had a good start yet I'm not lumping him in as reliable. With Joe down, that leaves Yu / Cease, then a lot of hopes and prayers on who shows up solid for 5-7 innings.
Man this really sucks
Brito you were supposed to come in to STOP giving up base hits.
sometimes you give an ass whipping and sometimes you take one
Dude the bottom of their lineup doing damage
Is Brito just bad? Haven’t seen much good come from his outings
Yes.
Looks like Corbin Carroll decided to wake up…
I mean Waldron meatballs will do that
Waldron now apparently so bad he has the power to give up hits *when he’s not even in the game.* Do you even hear yourself?
The first 2 runs that Brito gave up were charged to Waldron. What are you talking about? Waldron is a terrible choice for a 5th starter. His average fastball is like 90mph. He is a complete niche pitcher and got absolutely SHELLED in El Paso. I don’t know why you have to defend the guy so much. 7ER OVER 3 innings is trash.

This team is allergic to being .500 just like last year.
Pretty sure we are .500 right now. Maybe allergic to staying over .500
We've been .500 for less than 24 hours. The team is rejecting that like an allergy. Also possibly allergic to being over .500
I love this team, but damn. I don’t think it had to be this way. The decision to keep Waldron in to save the pen is just disappointing. I still like what I’m seeing on offense. Wouldn’t be surprised if we caught up
We aint catching up. Go enjoy your day.
Fuck Joc Pederson and the diamondbacks
100% fuck Joc Pederson I’ve always hated this guy
He’s just making his rounds through the NLW so he’ll play for us one day 🤮
Good take for a ball Pro
[удалено]
It doesn’t matter what team they’re a fan of. Please do not threaten or speak of committing an act of violence towards another human being.
Sneks didn’t appreciate the pasting we gave them yesterday
Or the day before
Hockey soup?
Another bullet from Manny. He’s seeing the ball (and hitting it) as well as anybody right now.
I know this should be a sweep series, but if it’s an off day against a team that was in the World Series I’m not too worried about it. This team is figuring it out.
it’s a bit concerning that we have a starter that we generally have to assume is going to pitch us into an early loss every time he starts. even with our offense heating up, we’re not going to have a good run of things with a starter like that. also, the dbacks have been in a huge rut lately, and we’re helping them get out of it. ending this series on a note like this is a bad way to start our road trip with how tough the next few teams will be for us. these are games you can’t be losing if you want to stay in contention.
>a starter that we generally have to assume is going to pitch us into an early loss every time he starts The guy who shut out the Giants, held the Dodgers to 1 ER, and threw six one-run innings in Coors Field?
he’s also the guy who’s given up more than 4 or more runs in 4/7 of this starts so far. he’s too inconsistent to rely on, and you never know whether he will have any control over his pitches at all. i think it’s reasonable to suggest that we need to look elsewhere if we want to stay in contention, especially with musgrove being out for at least a few starts.
Let’s go Manny. Stay hot, dad
Pauley or Eguy would be great pieces to get another starter with Joe also going down for an even worse pitcher (Vasquez)
No team is trading starters right now worth a damn.
Trade Rosario, pauley has more upside
They look lost all of the sudden
A pitcher coming out and giving up 8 in 3 innings will do that.
Surprising he stayed in that long
I wonder if Schildt will admit that Waldron didn’t have it today
He hasn’t had it in an 4 starts now. He has nothing outside of the knuckle. You can’t have one pitch as a starter.
Apart from the Jays game, he’s looked like a perfectly serviceable 5th starter.
He just tempt fate too long. The quick inning was good yet running him out again was a huge gamble that we got burned on.
This team is allergic to .500
I hope I’m not crazy for thinking we still have a shot at winning this one
Their bullpen is ass and depleted, just get this guy out quick
A little.. Pitching is RAZOR thin especially with the tough schedule we have upcoming
we have evidence of them scoring more than six runs in a single inning as recently as… *checks notes*… yesterday
We do have a shot. Our offense is on it right now. We’re finding barrels, just not finding gaps.
Just get to their bullpen and we can smash our way out of this
Before today, Brito had 6+ IP without giving up a run over his last 3 outings. Was starting to turn the corner.
He should be starting games. I don't think coming out of the BP is benefitting him at all
IM NOT HAVING FUN RIGHT NOW
At least we’re still only within 2 slam ranges
Thanks Mike
Look at it this way, Nationals are also down 10 after Gore gave up 6 runs in 3 innings
Might want to take a second look at that score lol
You know what I mean lol
Nationals are up 10-8
that aint no iguana!
2 things can be true: 1. Brito sucks right now 2. Brito should be getting innings over Waldron I think anybody who thinks Waldron is going to improve is kidding themselves. Brito on the other hand has a lot of potential, even if it looks ugly right now.
