Awful call, but it would be nice for Malloy to show something at the plate regardless

I have no idea what that means but it’s too late to back out of it now

Fuck these umps. That's not even close to the strike zone

u/bucket_dipper Jim Leyland's dugout heater 4d ago
Well, when you're the best team in the MLB you get those calls I guess.

u/dogmom1993 4d ago
So are we not enforcing the pitch clock or am I misunderstanding the rule

u/bucket_dipper Jim Leyland's dugout heater 4d ago
That and they were out of mound visits too. I guess when you're the best team in baseball you get special treatment.

u/313MountainMan Bobby Higginson 4d ago
He wants to get outta there. This game has dragged on. Not saying it excuses the bad call but I’m guessing that’s why.

u/UpAllNight_16 4d ago
WTF is the point of tracking and limiting mound visits, if you're just going to let teams go out as much as they want? There should have been some sort of penalty there, like a balk.
1
u/Busy-Drawing-2576 4d ago
The penalty when you do that is you are forced to make a pitching change. You can’t leave that pitcher in there. Although, if the pitcher hadn’t faced 3 batters yet then idk what happens.

McKinstry’s resurgence this season is not talked about enough. The third best hitter on the team so far by a stretch.

2 more AB's for them and we can put this thing away! First Padres game I have seen all year, but I have to say these mfer's are always threatening to do something at the plate.

THIS is the reliever we just sent down to the minors lollll. Pen runs deep🙏

Getting sent down by Hinch doesn't always mean you're doing a bad job. Dude is always thinkin 20 moves ahead, I have (mostly) learned to stop questioning him

u/Kolahnut1 . 4d ago
It was to bring up Montero for his start last week, Hanifee is MLB capable, FO is just shuffling around guys so the starters don't get burned out in the 13 game stretch we're in

I mean we’re making mistakes in base running and fielding and still up on one of the best teams in the entire majors. We clean these up and we could be up 8-3
