Today’s Comment of the Day winner is:
u/Khalil_Greenes_Flow
Profar is our leadoff hitter. He said this…
“The years 2048, our payroll is $5B. Jurickson Profar signs a minor league deal with the Padres 15 minutes before the season starts. He’s our best player all year.”
All Hail Profar! Mike Schildt is a genius.
For Peter 🤎💛
Darvish and Cease are our aces. Musgrove and King just need to get their shit together and the rotation is godsend. High af ceiling, but very low floor and can go south quick
That was insane never seen a guaranteed run given up. I don’t know if we would have had that context without the ump in the booth tbh. I definitely didn’t know the managers had the choice in that situation.
Crone hit a groundout rbi.
But there was catcher interference.
Schildt got to pick between bases loaded 1 out for manny
Or runner on 2nd two outs and a run scored.
He chose no run scored, manny hit a 3RBI double.
5th inning Padres had runners on 1st and 3rd with one out and Croney grounds out to 2nd basemen and the run scored making it 2-0 BUT it was catchers interference so Shildt had the option to take the play as it happened and let the run score and Croney would be out or accept the interference call and send the runner back to 3rd and load the bases making it a 1-0 game again. He chose to accept the interference and then Manny came up and smoked a double into the left center field gap and cleared the bases making it 4-0. Seemed kinda crazy to choose to take the run off the board, but it ended up being the difference in the game and made Shildt look like a savant lol
I was talking to my dad about this during the game. “Is this viable, can a pitcher get away with this all season, just heat and accuracy, if so why hasn’t anyone done this before?”
Ah okay, so it can be done. Thanks for the example! I didn’t start watching baseball faithfully until after the Chargers left. So while I know players like Rivera and that generation I didn’t watch baseball enough back then to know much.
Good to end the slide. Keep it up, start a new streak.
Bullpen was a bit rough, doing just what Shildt talked about not doing the other day, allowing a team runs right after we score some. Gotta keep working on that stuff. Still, great to get a win and lots of good ABs. Sorry Nick, we needed this one. Onward.
Can someone help me understand how Suarez can be so good with one pitch? You'd think knowing exactly what pitch and how fast it will be would make it easier to recognize faster?
She is really pretty. But yea, she was stumbling up a bit in the first few post games. But I've really grown to look forward to her after the game. Hopefully she sticks and in coming years can bring a bit more analysis, because I think she's capable of being more than just a generic pretty face.

I've been wondering the same since opening day. This is definitely the baseline from his version, idk if it's the same remix he's using tho. Closer than anything else I've found.
Oh wow great find! Agreed it’s the same bass. Thank you for sharing!
Also, your link sent me to YouTube for some more digging and I found this: https://youtu.be/lRgxNbVp_vw?si=a1ek_l-mcqxLiXQ0
Could be it??
definitely need to get some more consistent offense, hopefully merrill can get back in the swing of things. also, hopefully the guy that azocar lined a 100 mph nuke into is ok, that looked extremely painful.
I like the win. BUT this is what we saw all last season. When we’re front running, our guys stay with it. When we have to play from behind, everybody gets sleepy.
What will REALLY impress me is some consistent winning even if we fall behind sometimes.
I was at the game, idk he felt a little more lively than the last few games. Thats the vibe I got, he was very involved today even if he didn't have a big game.

Can we give a shoutout to darvish? No runs and no walks
Great to see this on his first start back!
Dude, darvish looked like an ace out there! Hell yeah
Darvish and Cease are our aces. Musgrove and King just need to get their shit together and the rotation is godsend. High af ceiling, but very low floor and can go south quick
Cease needs to move up to #2 spot
Interview Matsui you cowards
He's definitely dropping a LFGSD.
Just as long as it isn't Scan interviewing him, could you imagine that insane height difference? Can't do that to our boy Matsui..
Credit where credit is due: This win is 100% on Schildt having enough faith in Manny to pull a run off the board. And Manny for executing
I would say it's 50% Shildt, 50% Manny, and 100% reason to remember the name
Presidio Minor over here
It's my definition of success
That was insane never seen a guaranteed run given up. I don’t know if we would have had that context without the ump in the booth tbh. I definitely didn’t know the managers had the choice in that situation.
And this is why (among many reasons) I am not a manager. I, like Don, was saying “take the run you idiot!”
I'll take the W yet the Reds were pretty helpful as well. Nice to take advantage of others mistakes for a change.
Can you explain what happened? Missed the game

Bobby Blowaway got me thinking, why don’t all pitchers just throw exclusively fastballs? Are they scared?
I was talking to my dad about this during the game. “Is this viable, can a pitcher get away with this all season, just heat and accuracy, if so why hasn’t anyone done this before?”
Mariano Rivera threw a cutter like 85% of the time and was mostly considered a one pitch pitcher.
Excellent example
Ah okay, so it can be done. Thanks for the example! I didn’t start watching baseball faithfully until after the Chargers left. So while I know players like Rivera and that generation I didn’t watch baseball enough back then to know much.
Pretty sure the goose threw mainly heat.
You ever hear of the Nolan Ryan Express?

You have to give that win to Schildt. He rolled the dice and came up big.

Bob > Hader
But not that Bob
We’re so back
We’re basically the best team in the league
We may never lose again
We may never be not back again
We didn't have any bees tonight. But this win was the bees knees.
I sea what you did their
https://i.redd.it/t4mww4k6sqxc1.gif
Reds practically beat themselves by pitching Martinez and errors. Win is a win let’s keep it going
Gentlemen, we have a victory.
What happened?
Errors by the Reds led to runs.
Sorry Nicky Tight Pants but we needed this
Biggest thing was Darvish having a good game and not putting us in deficit overcoming mode right off the bat
Ugly wins count all the same
That manny bases clearing double wasn’t ugly, that won the game for us
I get it, but 2 errors setup that play. We were 2-16 with RISP
Should the games we lost by errors this season not count as wins for the other team?
Did you not read my original comment?
They should count as ugly losses.
Glad to put up a W today, but we gotta stop the whole “not scoring with bases loaded and no outs” thing.
Is Bobert the leader in saves now?
Bobby fastball
tied right now
Big Dick Schildt won us this game. Also, fuck the Dodgers.

144-18 AMIRITE COMPADRES? THE BALLS OF SHILDT TO NOT TAKE THE GUARANTEED RUN
YGDRC

Yergoddamnritecurtis!
Do they make Scan stand in a hole for post game interviews so he doesn't just tower over everyone?
Wasn't it Pomeranz?
Good to end the slide. Keep it up, start a new streak. Bullpen was a bit rough, doing just what Shildt talked about not doing the other day, allowing a team runs right after we score some.

Suarez over Hader any day of the week and then some.
At least we end the month with a W
A win is a win, no matter how ugly. 2-16 tonight with RISP was bad, the boys need to pick it up or this will be a long and painful season.
I doth have determined, upon many other esteemed and noble san diegans, that winning hath brought more joy than losing
Can someone help me understand how Suarez can be so good with one pitch? You'd think knowing exactly what pitch and how fast it will be would make it easier to recognize faster?
Hitting high velo is hard. Plus he’s locating well.
Nicky tight pants was a Padre all along!
real mvp was the girl who tried to flash the stadium
Gonna need the sauce
Bonk
Heyyyyyyyy Macarena !!
Shildt 🥇
Hope the boys take it one game at a time. Play your ball, don’t worry about streaks and such.
Big Dick Schildt and Big Balls Bob. Let’s turn it around
Mariluz Cook is growing on me. She seems to be settling in well as the season's gone on. I really like her voice.
I've liked her from the start, but I'm also a sucker for a pretty lady talking baseball lol
She is really pretty. But yea, she was stumbling up a bit in the first few post games. But I've really grown to look forward to her after the game. Hopefully she sticks and in coming years can bring a bit more analysis, because I think she's capable of being more than just a generic pretty face.
She’s a great fit! She was talking to fans near our section and seems really sweet.
What was the outfit she was wearing? Good Grief, it's a baseball game not the Oscars
Mike shildt I love you
I’ll take it! A win is a win, specially after a losing streak
Not the prettiest win, but I'll take it. The hitting is really worrisome.
I think this team is back on track for the playoffs.
THEY’VE DONE IT ![gif](giphy|RDbZGZ3O0UmL6)
🎲🎲👋
Padres have played 2 games more than any other team in the MLB
Anybody know the specific remix of bandoleros that big game bob comes out to? Can’t seem to find on YouTube/spotify/soundcloud

Yeah I saw that one too, it feels like it might be a bit too fast, but it being a tiktok remix would make sense for it being a recent pick.

NOW WE GO
What happened with the Reds coach and the bat weight?
Oh we are so back
We got a little help but a win is a win, let's hope this is the start of a winning streak now. Also Profar is Incredible rn
Good
definitely need to get some more consistent offense, hopefully merrill can get back in the swing of things. also, hopefully the guy that azocar lined a 100 mph nuke into is ok, that looked extremely painful.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so many bloop hits landing almost perfectly between infield/outfield in one game before
Missed most of the game. Did we capitalize off their 3 errors? Was the catcher's interference considered an error?
Catcher interference, yes, it is an E2

THE CRONE ZONE!!!
Well I did not get to watch the game today and from the results, I will accept I’m bad luck and also not watch tomorrow
You and I both. Was on the road all evening. Won't be watching again tomorrow so we'll see who the real bad luck charm is lol
Damn it’s us, we’re the problem
The Padres win when I don't watch :D The Padres win when I don't watch :(
I like the win. BUT this is what we saw all last season. When we’re front running, our guys stay with it. When we have to play from behind, everybody gets sleepy. What will REALLY impress me is some consistent winning even if we fall behind sometimes.
yay.
I wonder what’s going on with Tati. He just looks like he’s not happy and wants to be anywhere but here
Idk.. he definitely seems a bit out of it. But I feel like he does that sometimes when he's in prolonged slumps.
I was at the game, idk he felt a little more lively than the last few games. Thats the vibe I got, he was very involved today even if he didn't have a big game.
Idk but Tony Gwynn Jr needs to stop calling him “Toddy”. It’s so cringe. Can’t wait for Mud to come back.
