Why did the Padres lose to the Rangers despite a 5‑run performance by Ty France?
All right, Padres drop the series opener in Arlington to the Texas Rangers by a score of nine to seven. Ty France drives in five runs in this game. Gavin Sheets hits a homer. Ty France hit two home runs in this game, including a grand slam in the first inning. You you're you're on to a five nothing lead before the Rangers even go to bat against Jacob de Grom. And after the first inning you're losing. You're losing six to five. How does that happen? Manny strikes out three times tonight. Last tap out of the game. Meatball. Pops up. foul territory to the first baseman. To end the game. Um Those are the things that immediately stick out to me. And you know when the When your offense has ten hits You score seven runs in a night that de Grom started.
To not come out with a win like that.
What defensive mistakes in the first inning cost the Padres the lead?
Wow. That's disappointing. But that first inning. How you get on him. Five runs. And then Vasquez doesn't catch the ball on the ground on he's covering first base, doesn't catch the ground uh doesn't catch the throw. From Ty France. That's an out that should have been there. Walks a guy. Pop out double. Walks another guy. double Double. Then Diaz. On a I mean that's not Vasquez's fault. Like that was a Dribbler that You know, Manny almost got, but It was hit so slow that you're just not gonna get him at first base. But a lot of that stuff was preventable. A couple of walks. Not catching the throw from Ty France at first. Virtual. Some of it? Yeah, there was like Again the dribbler, the one of the breaking balls that was hit for a double, that ball was
out of the strike zone, it was down outside the strike zone. I'm not gonna get on Randy for that one, you know. Um but there were Some not great pitches, obviously, and just Mistakes. And Randy is one of those guys that I wanted to um, you know, put in that that group that I really trusted, but Um At the moment I I I can't put him in that group. Um someone that I have in that group right now is Walker Bueller and he goes tomorrow, so at least there's that. Um
How did Manny Machado’s strikeouts and missed opportunities affect the game?
But yeah, you know, i it's coming off of uh Cardinals series where the first couple of games not great. They win the series finale. So you wanna like turn it around. Off day yesterday. And then this happens. And it starts off great, you think All right, here we go, right? Let's have a great series in Texas. Going into Braves Dodgers back at home, right? Two best teams in the league. And then You're down six five after the first inning. And That's bad, but also good 'cause it means you have eight more innings to play with, but In those eight innings. The Padres scored only two more runs there. And they were both on home runs. Ty France and then Uh Gavin cheese. And then Jason Adam late in this game. comes in and this was an insurance home run the potries were already losing but holy cow was that ball crushed
That ball was crapped on. I think it was like four hundred thirty feet. That Langford hit that ball. I mean That was like a A homer that you'd see in the home run derby on a on someone that's just lobbing it in there. Off the bat I knew it was gone. But when I saw it hit second deck, I'm like, oh my gosh. That ball was demolished. Um so that made it nine seven. Yeah. Smud Taylor gets on in that last inning, but Then nothing after that. O for four night for Tatis. O for five night for Merrill with three punch outside. Oh for five night with uh for Manny with three punch outs. Not gonna get a whole lot.
Which roster moves (Bradley Rodriguez, Mason Miller) were made before the game and why?
I mean, you still scored seven runs with Tatis, Merrill, and Manny combining to go O for Fourteen. With Six strikeouts. So you can take a positive there, but Ultimately you lose the game. So I don't really care. Um Thirty eight and thirty six. Third in the N O West. Maybe they win these next couple of games and you feel better going into the Braves Dodgers home stand, but Right now the feeling is next week's gonna be Pretty ugly back at home. Um Blake Hunt made his big league debut. Because Duran had a rough night behind the plate. Dude was getting smacked all around, foul balls right up against the mask. Um Falball off at the knee. That doesn't feel good. So he comes out of the game, obviously during the game when those incidents happened, had a visit by the training staff.
