Why did the Cubs dominate the Padres with a 5‑home‑run outburst in Game 2?
All right. The Padres they drop game two of this series to the Cubs. After losing last night, they lose again today. So now that's what four consecutive losses? And it's a shame. Like you look at this and you see the box score. If you were to not look at the Cubsite. Seven runs for the Padres. Thirteen hits. They got a four run eighth inning. Tatis has a couple of homers. Manny Homer's Gavin Sheets with a three run bomb. You look at that and you're like, Yeah, that's a Padre's win. Nope. JP Sears, who had a good outing, his first outing with the team this season. Uh just wasn't able to do that again. And it you know you know how um that Saturday Dodger game was a home run derby? Well That's That's how this was here tonight.
This was uh another home run derby, but this time happening at Wrigley Field. Um just meatballs all over the place. Dansby. Homering, Bragman Homering, both of those are just down the middle. Um Michael Bush homering in the fifth, Dans be homering again. Piqu Peter Armstrong. Gets in on the action. And yeah, that was the final home run for the Cubs and that's All I needed. It was just home run show. Um, so really frustrating. Um, you know, Marinacho. Once he came into the game and then he gives up the homer to PCA, it's kinda like, All right, he's gonna He's gonna have to eat this. Um How many pitches did he throw? Like fifty? Yeah, fifty pitches. Exactly. Sears through ninety five. Uh um but yeah, y you knew that he was gonna
be the a little bit of a bolt guy here tonight. Although Wandy covered the same amount but
Which Cubs hitters fueled the home‑run barrage and how did they impact the box score?
It just felt like I don't know. To me it felt like Marinaccio pitched longer. Um But yeah, when you give up five home runs, it's kind of tough to win that game. And and the Padres were right there. They were close. Um In terms of runs at least. I know I didn't feel close, but Nine seven, you get five home runs and you lose by two runs, usually You wouldn't be losing by two rounds. Um maybe losing by much more than that. But Yeah, you know, it's the I'm not here for moral victories. You know, the Padres are forty three and forty one right now. The record is what they are, which is a a mid team. That's that's what they are right now. Um You know when When the offense is homering. The pitching falters. Uh when the bullpen's really good, then the starting pitching's not giving you length.
And that's a big problem for this pod race team. Kevin AC put out a uh graphic the other day in his his newsletter. About The Padres and where they rank. Let me pull that up. The Padres and where they rank. starting pitching wise, how many innings are they getting from starters and where is that? to the rest of the league and it's just like, man, it's not good enough. Um This was June twenty ninth, the morning of June twenty ninth. Padre starters have who have pitched four or fewer innings. Twenty two times they've done that. That's the sixth most in the league. Uh fifteen quality shirts combined. That's twenty ninth in the league. So second worst in the league. Six or more innings pitched, twenty-eighth worst.
Sorry, second worst, no third worst, but They ranked twenty-eighth in the league. In six or more innings pitched. Five and a third or more innings pitched.
How did Padres starter JP Sears perform and why couldn’t he stop the Cubs’ offense?
They ranked twenty seventh in the league. So they're just not getting linked from starters. And yes. Muskrow paveta stuff that that hurts. But You still sign Lucas Giolito? You brought in Griffin Canning. Remember Griffin Canning. I remember people saying, like, hey, let let's wait till Griffin Canning comes, because Griffin Canning He's gonna be He's definitely in the rotation. Like he doesn't have to fight for a spot. He's in the rotation. Like for sure. This was in spring training, people were talking about that. And It hasn't really worked out. Um Michael King has been home run prone a little bit. Walker Bueller, I I just think that there's been outings. While I trust him right now, there's been outings where
І стіл войта сі мор і лак. You'd like him to cover more outs. Uh part of that's stamina, like some some of that's not on Bueller. But then some of that
