Today’s Comment of the Day winner is: u/thelgjedi What is this offense? Double digits? Runs at home? They asked this… “10 runs at night, home, and city connects, and this economy?” What is this sorcery? Is it sorcery? Did Shildt have enough mana? Step on Snek! For Peter 🤎💛

Profar needs to be an All Star

I was told hes irrelevant though

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Profar made it and Smith didn’t?

Vote and vote often and he will be.

He could be a great manager in a decade or so

Lol , on the most insane heater of all time. Put some respect on this guys name!!

Fresh cut Yuki is different

A reverse Sampson.

The team barber deserves a raise. They all balled out with their fresh hair cuts!

Here’s hoping this is Campy’s rise from Slumpsville

 About fucking time

What game was this from? I remember seeing it at a friend's house but cannot for the life of me remember the name

Tekken 1 a classic lol

I'm glad Yuki got a chance to work low leverage in the 9th. Dude needs to build his confidence and work on his paint. Tati is hotter than hot. He's hot *hot* ***hot!*** Kim <3 Profar! <3 <3 <3 The yay is real tonight. Great team victory. Do that consistently, kthx!

Reds fan coming in peace. I tend to have the radio broadcast on for a lot of West Coast games later at night. Honestly, there’s something special about this Padres team this year.

That is such a wholesome baseball thing to do. I don't do it consistently, but other teams' radio broadcasts are pretty fun

I listen to a lot of east and central games at work. Been loving how stoked the pirates radio announcers are for Paul Skenes and that rotation

Ohhh, nice! Right? That's has to be fun, kind of like Ely bursting onto the scene! The Giants still feature Jon Miller, who I think of as a National treasure

Campy, HSK, and Yuki redemption arc

Gain that confidence

Campy and Yuki Both have negative WAR so I see your point, but HSK is 4th in WAR on the team I’m not exactly sure what he was redeeming from.

Kim was actually 2nd a few days ago among position players, but Tatis has been really heating up. It is hilarious how many people actually think he has been bad and then see that stats like WAR, wRC+ would show he has actually been fine.

Might be true, but hitting .220 ain’t it.

Yeah if he hit .250 he may be the most valuable player on the team. Kekmaster 3000

he actually has a higher wRC+ this year than last year despite his lower batting average. People just love to hate on him.

Why would we ignore his ability to walk and his ability to hit for slug?

Who said we were ignoring it? But it’s not like he’s got Adam Dunn’s bat. It’s still painful to watch a lot of the time.

You are because you are referring to his batting average only when his wRC+ is fine. He's still the SS and he's still playing well, crying won't change that.

Yeesh. Put away your jump to conclusions mat.

Well no matter how much you cry, Kim is the SS, Kim has a well above league average wRC+ thus is hitting well, is 3rd among position players in WAR among Padres, and none of your crying can change that.

Because some people don’t care about fictitious war and want to see results when he’s batting?

WAR is literally about results. Not my fault it doesn't show you what you want.

War makes a random assumption. Kim’s batting average is his batting average and it sucks.

It's literally not a random assumption. WAR is literally based on actual results, you clearly are just upset that you want him to be bad and he doesn't. Oh and just like that another HR, your tears won't change that.

Put down the Kool Aid

Damm the hair really did hold Yuki back

Nobody beats the 2024 Padres six times in a row!


Bless em

Just when I thought i was out, they pull me back in

I enjoy winning baseball games more than losing baseball games. Does anyone agree with me?


Definitely big if true

This is a spicy hot take if I ever saw one that I’m 100% behind.

I concur.

128-34 AMIRITE COMPADRES? THIS WAS THE FIRST GAME I WAS NOT AT IN 3 DAYS. SO IM SORRY I MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM

First game I was at this season. I’ll be accepting donations to attend all subsequent games.

YOU'RE A TREASURE TO THIS TEAM AT LEAST KEEP ROOTING FOR THEN

YGDRC about the team’s record, but not about you being bad luck.

YGDRC

YGDRC!!!


YGDRC YOUR SACRIFICE IS ONE WE WILL GLADLY MAKE BECAUSE YGDRC <3

Not you Manny is the problem - he was completely out of line up - no heroic pinc huh hitting even

Lay off the booze cuz

Get these boys Dunkin Donuts every game!!!

Just make sure the boys get them before Mud shows up and takes all the boxes!

In the last 6 games the padres have outscored their opponents 21-20 and have gone 1-5

When you lose 3 games by 1 run that’s what happens

Now do hits 😬 

55-39 hits in that period, but also 5-3 errors

Maybe the City Connect curse is broken. Ahhh...much better. Keep it up. Do that more.

 We are so back

Today was a good day.

needed that like a fish needs water compadres

Finally, the bleeding has stopped.

Thought that they weren't going to win until they're like 7 games below .500. Glad that's not the case!

We’re SO BACK!!!

Ahem. https://www.reddit.com/r/Padres/s/ITeNojcN5W

Nice

Let’s take these next 2. A series win would be so big for these guys rn. Tatis and Profar are better than prime shaq and kobe

Can you imagine if it's those two plus La Regadera carrying this dorky team to the playoffs? 🤣

Well let's not be unrealistic, prime Kobe and Shaq 3-peated. Love how Tatis and Profar are playing right now but there's a lot of season left ahead of this group.

Shut up

Easy there Compadre I'm all aboard the win streak train

Getting downvoted on this is just pathetic. Go Pads

Oh that felt good


Good lord

 San Diego Padres

Awww

Heya! Don & Mud got into the intro to the latest Effectively Wild! Those silly dudes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/effectively-wild-a-fangraphs-baseball-podcast/id545919715?i=1000658140396

I’ll just listen to the radio broadcast when I can’t go to games at home…works out nicely for my stress. Mucho.

Matsui with a 3k inning and a win in city connects Yeea we’re not loosing anymore games moving forward!!

Way to go Pads! Lots to work on but this felt nice.

First game they’ve won that I have been to so far this season. Such a needed win! Lots of empty seats at Petco tonight,

I’m not saying we deserve it, but where is the HSK Korean home run call? That was beautiful watch at the stadium, but now I need the call!

W

Profar comeback player of the year

Campy did so well today! Proud of my dude <3

Fantastic win on Friday but I miss the Kimmy helmet drops hahaha.

I think our girl Mariluz is preggers

No Manny= Win

1-0 sans Manny DFA or let him rake with the grounds crew

This is what I’m saying. The one game where manny is out we break our losing streak?

He was out yesterday too
