Cancel The Padres

Come on. You could have had it all the way. My contact. What? [Music] Strap three. Dodgers have won it all. Starting Los Angeles. Your Dodgers World Series. Dude, you’re way far ahead of me. I’m still trying to win this division. We still got a chance. So hopefully uh we’ll be we’ll be hosting. Yeah, but we still got a chance for another spot. winning the division. Yeah. Okay. What? You don’t you don’t believe it? Over the first 12 times in 13 years, the Dodgers have won the West. [Music] One of the great challenges in this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you’re right, but not enough about the subject to know you’re wrong. Thank you for being here, subscribed or not, Manny Machado or not. And if you haven’t joined the 49% elite humans, consider hitting that button if you like the videos. As the Padres’s over the last few years have operated like methheads, they cannot help themselves. They could care less about a future. They need that instant high right now. Juan Sto, bam. Aaron Judge, take our money. No. Trey Turner, he told us to piss off, too. Xander Bogarts, welcome to San Diego. Manny Machado, take every penny we have. You Darvis, you said you were what, 26? Oh, 36. Same thing with six more years. Mason Miller, awesome pitcher. The Padres’s wanted to add to an already sick bullpen. The A’s are like, “We’ll take three prospects for him.” AJ Prowler, the general manager, is like, “Nah, take four.” Prowler was then like, “Okay, we still need some hitting.” Baltimore’s got some guys. Let’s trade for both Raone Lauraniano and Ryan O’Harn. Orioles are like, “We’ll take three prospects.” Padres’s are like, “Great. Here’s five prospects.” When it was all said and done, the Padres sent away 10 prospects at the trade deadline and 14 players total. That’s insane. And I said this at the time, but I respected it. It might be very stupid. I mean, I’m not the one getting paid to make these decisions, so who am I to fully judge? But at the end of the day, it’s fun to see a general manager treat his job like he’s playing MLB the show. Like, imagine if every GM was all timid and treated it like it wasn’t a video game. That’d be boring. We need AJ PL. But again, this does of course hurt the Padres’s future, at least theoretically, putting all these chips in to hope it works out. So, you better hope it works out this year. Well, what did work out was the pitching. That’s what carried this team back to the postseason. As a team, they had the third best ERA in baseball. And going down the line individually, it makes sense. Nick Paveta had the best year of his career. Nice start to his contract. Dylan CE may be the greatest pitcher with a 4 and a half erra. His other stats would tell you he got unlucky. Plus, he literally led baseball in strikeouts per nine. Like, he averaged the most strikeouts overall. Roz elite swing and miss stuff. Overall, the rotation was solid, but it’s the bullpen that was so sexy. It’s as if the baseball gods sculpted them himself. It was that good. Here’s a way to describe how good Jeremiah Estrada has some of the best swing and miss stuff in the game. His strikeouts per nine was over 13th. That’s insanely good. Yeah, he might not even be top five in the bullpen. Robert Suarez led the league in saves. Mason Miller, of course, after arriving to San Diego, became basically untouchable. I mean, it was ridiculous, but they had to be as ridiculous as possible to compensate for an offense as Mid Zena. Fernando Tatis Jr. had a really good season. So did Manny Machado. The big two, I guess you can call them, but they still weren’t that elite. And overall, it just this wasn’t exactly the Chris Brown of lineups, not hitting anyone that hard. So going into their series against the Cubs, the big narrative was get this thing to become a battle of the bullpens because you get to that now you’re talking. Even though the Cubs actually had a really good bullpen, too. So I think these teams were pretty well matched. And actually the Cubs I think were a little bit better because of just how much stronger their offense seemed capable of being. But overall for the Padres’s beyond just this series alone, look, they’re of course a good team. They’re a solid team, but their window to win a championship seems like it’s closing faster than a McDonald’s ice cream machine. like it just seems now or never. There’s so many impending free agents, like we just went over, a serious meth addiction has blown up the farm system. So, every postseason is important for every team, but this seems a little bigger for the Padres’s, especially after the way they went out last year, just completely dying offensively to the Dodgers, their biggest rivals, after having them on the ropes. So, it’s almost like they needed this more than the Cubs did. Xander Bogarts probably knows that. He’s rocketing this ball into the gap for their first run of the series. Meanwhile, Nick Paveta is shoving it up the Cubs asses through four shutout innings, five strikeouts. He’s cruising. Issue is the Padres’s only had that one run. As good as Paveta is, they’re still banking on a lot here. And yep, there you go. Here come the Cubbies. First of Suzuki going deep. Bro annihilated this thing. Tie games. Six pitches later, a much different kind of home run, but it all counts the same. Back to back. Pavetta locked in after this though. He made a statement striking out three hitters in a row to end the inning in his outing. So, he gives up those back-to-back homers, but in the end, that’s still five strong innings with eight punch outs. Can’t really complain about that. Surely, the Padres’s offense will take advantage of this great pitching performance by their starter and by their bullpen that came in and kept the Cubs mostly quiet for the last four innings. Surely, you know, the Padres’s hitters brain cells would be putting together great at bats to push runs across the board and pick up their pitchers who did their job. Well, turns out this is what the Padres’s hitters final three brain cells were actually doing for the final four innings. They go down one, two, three every inning from the sixth inning on. Starting from the fifth inning, 14 straight Padres’s were set down by Cubs pitching to end the game. That’s more than half the outs in a game. They all happened in a row without any Padre getting on base. It’s just one game, but it’s very reminiscent of the way last year ended. backs now against the wall. Game two, Padres’s scored first again, and this time it stayed that way. This game was basically just a full display on how disgusting the Padres’s pitching can be. I mean, it was in game one, too. That’s not why they lost, but this was nuts. Dylan Cease didn’t finish four innings just because it’s the playoffs. Teams are already going to be more willing to go to their bullpen early, and the Padres’s of all teams have the biggest luxury of being able to do that. But CE still dominated with five strikeouts. In comes Adrien Morahan who gets a ball right back at his shoe to kick over to first base for the out. Manny Machado right before this went deep to make it three to nothing. And that’s when the game officially ended. The rest was just Mason Miller basically whipping his around. It was a wild scene. Like bro, there are children watching this. He didn’t give a crap. Sea Suzuki 103. See you later. Carson Kelly 104.5 on the outside corner. That is that is sick. Like that is illegal. I I think. And then he drops two straight sliders on P. Cro Armstrong. Yeah. How about a couple more? Danby Swanson. See 103. Next hitter, pinch hitter, doesn’t matter. Slider, swing, and a miss. I mean, the literal only way to get on base at this point off of Mason Miller is to pray he hits you. And that’s exactly what happened to Michael Bush. The slider just slides too much. In comes Robert Suarez who gets Nico her to line out. Tatis with a nice play. Ninth inning, Kyle Tucker, one out base hit. Then Suzuki works a great at bat just to ground it right to Xander for two. Ball game. Now it’s win or go home. And that Ud Darvish contract isn’t looking so good. He gives up four hits. Even hits someone. PCA drives home the first run. Doesn’t crush it, but it’s enough. One to nothing. Out goes Darvish. In comes the pen and Jeremiah Estrada immediately walks Danby Swanson. Two to nothing Cubs. Still bases loaded. Still nobody out. This looked like it was about to become a total disaster until Matt Shaw strikes out. Then Michael Bush hits this ball hard, but Louisa Rise makes a nice play. They somehow turn two on this. That is big league stuff right there. Ask your local high school team to try and make this play. That’s huge. This keeps things at two to nothing when it looked like it was about to be 6 nothing or something. And again, with the Padres’s offense just not being that consistent. They need every run they can for the Cubs not to score. Go to the fourth. Padres’s have a man on second, two outs. Xander Bogarts pops up. Fifth inning, Gavin Sheets base hit. Then Freddy Fine somehow knocks this 101 mph fast ball up and in for a double. Padres’s are cooking another big opportunity and it ends the same. Tatis pops it right up to right. They cannot cash in. Go to the next inning. Padres’s must have hurt Danby Swanson as a kid or something. Or maybe it was when AJ Prowder was throwing money at every free agent like he was at a strip club. He actually didn’t for Dansby. That offended him and it’s like Michael Jordan personal now. Or maybe Luis Arise said something mean to him. Dansby made it his life’s mission to not allow this man on base. Making these crazy plays. This one to start the six. But then Manny Machado works a walk. Okay, another base runner. Maybe they got something cooking here. Nope. Danby Swanson putting the pitchers on his back. Turns to himself. What a play. Another double play. Next inning. More of the same. Another Padre gets on base. This time Xander base hit. Lead off. Base hit just for Ryan O’Harn to fly out. Jose Glaciius to hit this well, but Nicoer says screw you. And Jake Croninworth hits this pretty well, but just too high. Now, this whole time, the Cubs weren’t scoring either. Padres’s bullpen doing what you’d expect before Michael Bush facing Robert Suarez says, “You should have shoved this 98 mph fast ball up your ass.” Better than where it actually ended up for you. Three to nothing. Then her boom, double. Wrigley is rocking, but they can’t get anything after that. So, it’s still a pretty close game. And I say pretty close because again, the Padres’s offense looks like it’s going to take a lot for them just to get one or two runs. On to the ninth. And Jackson Merrill hits one out to start the ninth. So, okay, wait a second. Padres’s are finally on the board. Just like that. Still nobody out. Next up, Xander works a great bat. Bam. Ball four. Oh, he gets boned on this strike three call. And Xander, rightfully so, is heated. The entire Padres’s dugout is their manager. Mike show comes out for a second. And this is where it seemed like Brad Keller almost felt bad for the Padres’s. He hits their next two guys, which I mean, you feel bad for someone. Usually, you don’t throw an incredibly solid object at their body. It’s not usually how that works. And the Padres’s didn’t exactly love it. Raone Lauriano in the dugout was caught saying, “F you.” But, I mean, hey, that’s two base runners right there. The tying run is now on base. Thank you, Brad Keller. who goes out. In comes Kitri. Croninworth hits what has infield hit written all over it until Matt Shaw somehow gets this off quick enough and strong enough to barely get him out at first. Umpire calls him out in real time. He looked kind of safe. I don’t know. Padres’s challenge the call. And credit to the umpire. They’re going to need all the love because of what they’re about to have happen. But the first base umpire was on this call. Clearly out on the replay. Shaw’s throw was just a bullet. And with the entire season on the line, up comes one of the players the Padres’s actually added at the deadline. Freddy Firm mean who already has two hits on the night and he swings at the first pitch. He sees hits it well, but straight up in the air for Peter Cro Armstrong to easily make the final grab. Cubs win. The Padres’s are done. Well, not completely. They weren’t done telling the umpires how much they love them. As the umpires were walking off, they have to go through the visitors dugout, which leads to the umpires room, I guess. meaning they have to walk right past the team that just got screwed over on that Xander call. And this was ugly. I mean, it genuinely for a second looked like some of the Padres’s coaches were going to take a swing or something. This was wild. Like, we see stuff like this a lot, but this felt a little more intense. And you I mean, you can understand, of course, why considering where we’re at in the season. There’s quite literally no tomorrow now. And look, I’m going to get a little ahead of myself on this one and admit I might be a little ignorant on the Padres’s moving forward. I mean, considering the way the Blue Jays turned out after looking to be in a lot worse spot than the Padres’s, who knows what will happen, but the Padres’s, they just have so many guys becoming free agents again. The methheads exploded the farm. So much money is going toward players who just may not be that great. It’ll be an interesting off season for this team, but it’s yet another year of the San Diego Padres’s putting all their chips in for nothing in the end, especially this year being a wildcard exit. I know it just ended, but how do you assess a season like this? Um, I mean I mean what type of question is that, dude? My guy. How do I assess this season? We just lost. How do you think I assess the se How do you think I assess it? Come on, dude. I mean, you could ask better questions than that. Let’s go. Come on. You going to wait till the last second and ask that question, bro. No offense in that. Let me know your thoughts and thank you for watching. Love you. Bye.
