San Diego Padres @ Arizona Diamondbacks series thread. 09/27/24-09/29/24

[Gambler]

I missed the start and am trying to catch up. What’s with Marte and Kelly?

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Yeah, the pitching just isn't good enough this year.

I mean, Kelly gave them a gift wrapped double play that Marte whiffed....and then he throws one away. Could and should have been out of the inning with 0 runs. Most of the hits have been dinks.

 

[Bobster]

4 runs in the first.

Gut check time.

 

[Gambler]

This is all on me. I am wearing my “good luck” Randy Johnson jersey.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

This may be a wild one...

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Yeah, the pitching just isn't good enough this year.

The pitching was fantastic last year. The entire staff fell off a cliff.

 

[Gambler]

I just saw the play where Maarte tried to catch the ball off to his left and missed. I was always taught to get in front of the ball and it would hit me if I missed. I guess my coaches thought I wouldn’t be missed if I was hurt.

 

[FB94]

For gods sake someone needs to run down those two flyballs from Arriez.

 

[Dback Jon]

And we keep leaving runners on base

 

[Gambler]

Mets lose 4-8.

 

[Devilmaycare]

I really hate the 2 disengagement rule. It's way too limiting and a balk is too steep of a penalty on it.

 

[Devilmaycare]

Run in, down 5-3 now. Keep chipping away.

 

[Gambler]

LOB.

 

[GatorAZ]

Perdomo looks at two strikes then check swings and ground out to 2nd. Dang.

 

[Devilmaycare]

Way too many LOB tonight.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The Dbacks have lost their identity.

Defense is supposed to be a strength but in the name of offense guys like Pavin Smith are playing RF, where they simply can't.

There are no roles in the bullpen. The lineup is constantly in flux due to injuries and manager feelings. Add in a bunch of injuries and this team has just never settled in despite the long season

 

[Chris_Sanders]

So many games just pissed away with manager tinkering / indifference

 

[RON_IN_OC]

You must be registered for see images attach

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The only thing worse than watching this team in the month of September is the ENDLESS loop of poopy country music

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Country folk can survive...

Survive what exactly?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The Perdomo disrespect by the Padres is hilarious. Everyone is in with no one on.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And Padres have him perfectly scouted.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Excellent AB by Carroll. He hasn't mailed it in yet.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

OOF bad swing Marte.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That's a terrible strike 3. Holy crap
