OT Padres Discussion

[Boltdiehard]

After watching the Padres bullpen it’s no wonder we had our lowest cumulative MLB batting average since 1968. It’s league wide and every game I watch some dude comes out of the bullpen throwing 98+ with nasty movement on their secondary pitch. I mean how do you hit that? Major league hitters are in the big leagues because they can hit the fastball but the pitchers are winning right now with a few notable exceptions like Julio Rodriguez and Yordan Alvarez. No shifts next year will bring the batting averages back up.

I was lucky enough to be at The Murph for Game 3 against the Cubs when Tempy was introduced and he waved it hat. Very unlike the guy
I was also at Game 4 against the Cubs when Garvey went yard

Petco is going to be crazy tonight,. I just hope the boys play a good game and bring home a winner!

And there should be two chants tonight from the Friar faithful
Beat LA!

Dodgers Suck!![/[/SPOILER]QUOTE]

used to chant that in the 70's from the special $1 left field plaza seats.

We probably crossed paths at the cow trough urinals at the Murph as my Pops and I were out there with you right behind Jerry Turner or Gene Richards

Its a great time for Padres and San Diego - love to see it

Something definitely feels different about this padre team and I’m not just referring to their pitching and the bullpen, the bats are getting hot at the right time, they are playing with a chip on their shoulder, they are battle tested both in NY and then in LA…they are building momentum at the perfect time…

and Soto would’ve homered twice yesterday at some other parks, correct?

Exactly.

This was after game 2
But that Soto outfield play was impressive
I remember being confused because I thought for sure LAD would score a run on that play.

I hope Deano was watching that and realizing he will never get that in So-Fi. He used to have that.at the Murph

LFGSD!!

Going to be cranked up even more tonight -- bats just need to score more runners as Dodgers won't continue to go oh fer 17 with RISP

We’ve stranded our fair share of RISP too, I don’t have the numbers ATM but both teams have to deal with top flight pitching…

A-rod said something interesting in the post game show, he said that the way the bullpen is lined up with righty then lefty, then righty, then lefty, he said it causes chaos for the LA lineup and doesn’t allow them to get in rhythm…

For sure - if the Padres had lost last night - they would have been kicking themselves as dang near left two like 5 out of first six innings. The Profar bunt play really screwed up that inning. Wil struck out a couple times

I live up here in Nor Cal in Giants country. Almost all my friends and family are Giants fans. I've never seen them cheer on the Padres like they are right now.

This is an example of playing well at the right time. The Dodgers kicked our ass this year winning 14 of 18 against us and we are 2-1 in the playoffs. Padres have been hitting better and putting it all together late in the season. If Soto and Cronenworth can get hot ....finally, big time help.

Makes sense however 100mph heat causes chaos too. :lol:
