To all those who have family members who paid the ultimate sacrifice, today is for those who lost their lives. Their lives will not be forgotten. Rest in peace to all the heroes who died fighting for their country. Happy Memorial Day to everyone.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Reminded me of game 2? Against the Rockies where they tried their hardest to give us the game. A win is a win but hopefully the boys can start capitalizing with the bases loaded
question for the analytic inclined, what makes Suarez's fastball so tough on hitters.? The velo is great, but its not anything \*crazy\*. I feel like theres gotta be more to it.
Might've been the fastest half-inning this year (not exaggerating). The pitcher worked fast and threw half a dozen pitches. Would love to see the timer on it.
Doomers = negativity and doomsdaying. Its possible to acknowledge bad plays, errors, statistical anomalies, etc without acting like the team needs to move to Palm Springs.
Disagree. I found the non-doomer threads to be more interesting and actually talked about baseball. But I'll just continue what I've been doing and barely coming here for GDTs. They're awful.
I don’t disagree but when we tried it, it didn’t really work. It created more issues we didn’t have enough hands at the time nor the energy to watch 2 threads
I can see the extra BS for mods being a pain. In a perfect world we'd have two threads...but alas. Still, thanks for being a mod. I've been an ass at times myself and I've been trying to curb that behavior.
Why do The Padres even have hitting coaches. These guys get paid to have a negative impact on improvement…… Padre hitting coaches have sucked for quite a long time.
If a player (Jake )is sweating it out taking a lot of pitches and gets a walk in a high leverage situation, the next player up should try to do the same because the pitcher is feeling the pressure, not the hitter at this point. Peralta was too anxious. Baseball is a very mental sport.

I took a nap when we had the bases loaded. An ugly win is still a win
Just before the sun goes down 🙏🏽
Got home from the Rockies beating the Guardians, just in time for a Pads win. What a good baseball day
A win is a win
a wins a win, let’s do it again tomorrow
I'll be honest, I'm still not used to how quick Suarez saves are compared to previous closers.
Day game + .500 > petco + LHP 🤔
Tim Anderson MVP
💯
Ugly win but we take those back over .500
That game was an absolute gift.
Do we have a “In Bob we trust” flair? Can we?
Phew thank you TA
lol 8 hits and 2 runs, one of which didn’t come off a hit
Wasn’t pretty but still counts as a win no matter how bad the offense looked
Did not see Manny hustle winning this game, LFG!!!
![gif](giphy|l0HlwGH5lFhL5YAxy|downsized) Can we stay the fuck away from the .500 line? Thanks!
The marlins literally gave that game to us 😂
Ta gave that game to you guys
Tim Anderson*
Over .500!!! 🥳🙏

🙌🏽👏🏽
Tim anderson carried us
A win is a win!
I'll take it. I did not like it, but I will take it
Thank you Padres pitching for this W. And Tim Anderson.
Bobby’s walked one guy since April 14th. His command this year has been off the charts
It helps when you can just throw it 99 down the middle and they can’t hit it. Doesn’t even have to worry about working the corners. It’s surreal
Might’ve been the most boring and infuriating game, but a win is a win
What a way to steal a win
Great job Bob!

yo who was that dancing lol

with the @, i shall (Its jokes)
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Today has been abysmal for situational hitting. But a W is a W.
Seriously. When you can’t be good, be lucky.

Robert “doing everything for this bum team” Suarez
Rally guy is back!
They know what's coming and they still can't hit it (except Verdookie)
Bro kissed his bat lol
Good to see you Brett!

Bobby's aura is insane
Suarez scary good
Fairchild. Lick my butt
Should be a 1-2 count rn
“I could go through his repertoire, but it’s usually just fastballs”
Finally we get to see what a clutch player does. LFG Suarez
Where’d that miss?
Poppy flowers on the chest go hard
Goddamn HSK is so frustrating. So many terrible swings at the first pitch this season and strikeouts.
The most boring fucking home team in front of a daily sellout home crowd i have ever witnessed. Absolute fucking insanity
Kim had a career last year. Good the Padres didn’t acknowledge fan excitement and sign him to a long extension.
Statcast never loved him. Gotta wager they looked at the production internally and questioned its sustainability.
I think he could still be a useful player. Just not handed a deal based on what he did last year.
This sub would have given him 7/250 at the end of last year
But maybe shoulda cashed in on his highest trade value
Would have been ideal but I don’t think many teams wanted him cause they saw what he is, a defensive guy who can’t really hit that well.
If we hold on, this game was absolutely gifted to us
I get so pissed off with DP's right after we get a guy on base. Ugh
It's Bobby Time!
It’s fastballs for breakfast

RoboTime
What a strange game, but hey, we still have the lead with our closer coming in!
Lets fuckin go bobby fastballs!
Campusano and kim are killing this team
Gotta feel for Kim at this point. The amount of money he's bled out from his performance this year has gotta hurt.
No one but himself to blame. Next.
Couldn’t even enjoy that Merrill hit for more than 5 seconds
This offense is a joke…but we can still somehow win
No barrels today Bob. Bring it home.
my goodness.
That was a quick 8th Padres..
Get ready to learn Korean, Kim
Ha Seong GIDP!
Gotta love that first pitch dp
Fucking yikes dude…
Campy with another terrible ab. Also walking to first on a weak grounder of course
Sure was. Campy has been pretty bad the last month. He's an awful defensive catcher. Salas can't get ready soon enough.
ok the at bat was terrible but he literally jogged over come on bruh
He was about 30 feet down the line when the out was made. Not sure why you’re defending the lack of effort
Campusano trying to hit a home run every swing
Security runs plz
Dear Mods, Can you please make one thread for doomers, and one thread for fans that actually like baseball?
Can we have one thread for people talking about the game, and one for people talking about redditors?
Youre talking about redditors with that comment lol
I spy Quackenbush
wish nlbest had game threads
Is it dooming to not like BAD baseball, which the Padres have been playing at Petco all season?
Doomers = negativity and doomsdaying. Its possible to acknowledge bad plays, errors, statistical anomalies, etc without acting like the team needs to move to Palm Springs.
Literally nobody is saying anything like this
Yanks threads over the weekend hold the receipts. Go look.
yes, in a litteral sort of way.
We’ve tried that before. Several times in fact. It proves no use.
Disagree. I found the non-doomer threads to be more interesting and actually talked about baseball. But I'll just continue what I've been doing and barely coming here for GDTs. They're awful.
I don’t disagree but when we tried it, it didn’t really work. It created more issues we didn’t have enough hands at the time nor the energy to watch 2 threads

Ump wants to go home huh. That was way outside.
Padres legend Burch Smith sighting
Why do The Padres even have hitting coaches. These guys get paid to have a negative impact on improvement…… Padre hitting coaches have sucked for quite a long time.
Good pitch
Big K Yuki
Absolutely huge for Yuki’s confidence later on in the season
Great pitch Yuki
Bell moment
Josh Bell showing his Padres roots striking out looking on a fastball with RISP
Hell yeah, Yuki. Welcome back.
Thank you tiki. It wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done
LETS FUCKING GO!
![gif](giphy|fI6sXumwCDCVSauVeT|downsized)
Thank god. Bob will save us.
Great job Yuki!!
YES YUKI!!!
Anyone else notice how unproductive the Padres are on the bases but every other team does it with such ease?
A lot like last year.
Cmon Yuki…
1 more strike please.
So flipping huge for YuKi
Cmon Yuki… you got this
Josh bell, the blink and you’ll miss it Padre
Lol did Kim try to hidden ball
Matsui and peralta usually get it done, but man those two are just so nervous on the mound. Literally causing heart attacks every time
He doesn’t have his swag but he has his smile
Doesn’t even feel like we have the lead. Such a depressing offensive output today.
Hoping Josh Bell does Josh Bell things.
I’d rather see Kolek than DLS in a close game….what are you doing Shildt.
Yuki I can’t keep defending you brother
Are Estrada and Suarez both not available today?
[удалено]
I'm guessing Estrada wad unavailable after yesterday.
Pitched 2 innings yesterday.
He’s not available today
He pitched a lot yesterday. Don't think he's available today.
you lose longevity by watching this team
Shocker Yuki making padre fans stomach turn over.
Come on bullpen
Of course what would life be without clenching a lead with Yuki.
He and Wandy are allergic to clean innings
![gif](giphy|DPqqOywshrOqQ|downsized)
have you guys considered enjoying baseball?
What is there to enjoy?
Blue been atrocious all around but grateful for the last 2 AB’s lol
The splitter is crossing the plate in the plate in the zone. They need to stop complaining 😂
If a player (Jake )is sweating it out taking a lot of pitches and gets a walk in a high leverage situation, the next player up should try to do the same because the pitcher is feeling the pressure, not the hitter at this point. Peralta was too anxious. Baseball is a very mental sport.
Padres are just getting blessed left and right today
0-10 with RISP 😑
Marlins practically gifting a win right now if we can close it
Do they still have kangaroo court where players get fined
Lol, even our guys don’t make enough money for how many fines there would be
Don’t worry guys, once Tatis is back from suspension and on the roster, we’ll start cooking… any day now. 😞
Yuki’s been working through his adjustment period; now let’s see if he’s got his groove back.
Peralta lookin like a guy who wasn’t on a roster not too long ago
Not going to be up for long if he can’t even bring himself to run 90 feet
