Why did the Padres get swept by the Phillies and how did Christopher Sanchez dominate?
All right, we figured this was gonna be the result the result. The Padres lose the series finale to the Phillies and they get swept at Peko Park. Final score of three to nothing. Yes, I'm gonna hit on the pitching decisions and Walker Bueller being pulled. When he was pulled The amount of pitches that he was at, all that, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. When the offense scores no runs. Today it's one of those where you just put it in pencil going into the game like that's a loss. The frustration probably comes earlier in the series, right? When you're not facing Christopher Sanchez, who's the best pitcher in baseball right now. Today. He continued to pitch well, he continued to not allow runs.
His final line was seven shutout innings, no walks, nine punch outs. His ERA is one four seven. So this is a guy that It seems like As his outings go on, they get cleaner and cleaner. Um You know, he had the nine inning outing, he's had six inning, seven inning, but then there's been some times where there's been some walks. Here no walks. Is that the pottery's expanding the zone? Is that Christopher Sanchez just being that good? It's a combination of the two. Um Now look, expanding the zone against Christopher Sanchez, swinging at pitches that look like they're going to be strikes or you're trying to protect. To me, that's a little bit different than against other pitchers. Because Sanchez is Such a great pitcher right now.
Um I got more frustrated with some of that stuff earlier in the series and From what I've seen this season. Um You know, today Manny hit a ball to the wall, Justin Crawford make a heck made a heck of a catch. Going up against the wall there. Um The trend of not being able to win games against good pitching, not good pitching, but great pitching. The trend of that. Continues. Um And so really like I'm still gonna have the same opinion of this team. I think they're gonna be a playoff team. I think they're a wildcard team. I don't think they're a division winning team. But I think they're a wildcard team. But I don't think that this team's gonna go far in the postseason. Uh because While things can change, it's May twenty seventh.
What we're seeing right now, how do you have confidence that the Padres can go on a deep run. 'Cause that's what we all want, right? That's what we care about. We can be mad about a game here on on May twenty seventh. But what we care about is like, are we seeing signs here that can encourage us to think that this team will go on a postseason run. And I just don't see how you can think that this team's going to go on a significant Long postseason run. When the offense can't beat great pitching. Because in the postseason, really regardless of who you're gonna face. If you get there, you're gonna face great pitching. And if it's a short three game series and a wild card series, that even me that means even more that you're gonna face great pitching every game.
Because you're not gonna face a four starter. You're gonna face their best and they're gonna bring it. And then when the starter comes out, even if he doesn't really have his best stuff, or even if he's pitching well, they'll go to their big guys that's nasty in the bullpen in the fifth inning or the sixth inning and it'll make it tough on you. Luckily the Padres Have that on their side, right? Where They have
What made Christopher Sanchez’s seven shutout innings so impressive?
Some good starting pitching and then they can go to the bullpen early. They could go to the bullpen in the fifth inning if they want to. Like the bullpen stuff. But it's not gonna matter if they're not gonna score off of great pitching. You look at the Cub series last year in the wildcard series. And Their big guys didn't show up good enough. Right. What was it? O for ten? I think O for ten in either that final game or the two games they lost, the top guys in the order. didn't have an impact. That's not a coincidence. And you look at today, sure, Manny almost hit a home run, but almost, that's what the word is. He didn't actually do it. Um now he came through earlier in the series. But the bottom line is he's hitting one hundred sixty nine this year, and average is not everything.
