How did Michael King dominate the Braves with seven shutout innings?
All right, everybody, welcome on in as the Padres start off their big homestand against the Braves and the Dodgers with a one nothing win. Michael King with the start. He ends up going seven shutout innings. Michael King is someone that, you know, he's given up, I think, too many home runs and he'll probably say that same thing. But it seems like in these bigger starts. He would say every start's big, but To me it seems like I'm not looking at the numbers right now, but When they're facing the Dodgers, facing the Braves, he comes up big. Obviously, there was the wild card series where he came up big. Амі тоні фор. But I'm even just talking regular season where no, I I wanna double check this just so it's accurate.
But to me it just seems like he comes up huge. in these types of outings. Tonight he went seven innings, no runs, no walks. That was the huge part. He had I know he had at least one inning where he threw only six pitches in that inning. So that was huge for him to to get through that quick like that. Um To to be able to just go straight to the dream scenario where it's Moorhone and it's Miller. I mean, those are the two guys. If you can only pick two guys in the bullpen to use right now, those are the two guys. It's not Jason Adam, that guy's giving up too many home runs right now. Um, so yeah, I mean Great job by Michael King. But I did want to double check. his game logs, at least from this year, just to see
His outings against the better teams. Uh let's see, Dodgers. Yeah, Dodgers, May eighteenth. Seven innings, no runs. Nine punch outs, just two walks. And I think that was his yeah, that was his best outing of the season going into tonight's outing, where he went seven innings, no runs. So you look at some of these outings and you know, May twenty fourth he goes three two thirds against the A's. June sixteenth against the Cardinals, he only went four and a third. Gave up three runs, walked three guys. Ninety three pitches. Same number of pitches tonight, but goes seven. It doesn't give up any runs. So That's just the weird part to me, where it's like All right, if you can do it against the Braves, you can do it against the Dodgers.
What's the fix? Why can't we be doing it more consistently? Right. And yes, there were some long balls tonight. Jackson Merrill made a heck of a catch against the wall. He made some other sliding catches as well. So
Why does Michael King tend to excel against top teams like the Dodgers and Braves?
It wasn't like There wasn't any close ones. But In a results-based business, like seven shutout innings, Michael King is one of the stars of tonight's game, no doubt about that. Um so when the postseason comes around with Michael King. I think I'll trust him like pretty much regardless of how he's pitching. I'm gonna trust him because In the big time outings. To me, it's like he he rises up to that moment. It's just frustrating that we're not seeing it more consistently. Um, so that's Michael King. Obviously Moorhone, Miller, they come into the game in the final two innings and get the job done there. Manny Machado. Само хумей бід чален. call, tapped his helmet early in the game on a pitch that was clearly a strike.
Uh so lost a challenge there. But he comes up had a double down the line, had a homer, which was obviously the only run the Padre scored. In this game. Um breaking on on the ump cam. That's something that I did like in this broadcast. They did have that ump cam for the ESPN broadcast. And You could tell it was a breaking ball that Manny got the bat out in front. He stayed on it. He wasn't pulling off of it. Um and he was able to hit it out. Now it was one of those where off the bat definitely didn't think it was a home run. But You knew he hit the ball well. It was just a matter of at Petco is that ball gonna get out. But hey, it got out into the Padre's pen. And that's all they needed because a one nothing win, you know.
Michael King was great. Bullpen great. I know Miller did give up um a couple of base runners there. A single that wasn't hit very hard. To center. Um, and then what was the other one? The Dom Smith walk, that's right.
