What happened in Casey Mize’s Padres debut and why was it a rough start?
All right, what's up, everyone? I'm going live now because it's an 8-0 game. I know it's the fifth inning, but I'm here on the East Coast, so I do want to get to bed if it's an 8-0 game. If the Padres go, they go win this game. I mean, holy cow. But I just wanted to get to the news, the main news items of today, which have already happened. And let's start off with Casey Mize and his Padres debut. It was definitely a debut to forget.
It's one of those that we're not going to forget, probably. But that hurt to watch.
How did the early walks and home run contribute to Mize’s eight‑run outing?
He didn't make it through four innings. He gave up eight earned runs. Now, Kyle Hart did give up some of those, but eight earned runs. He walked three guys. He gave up the homer to Tim Tawa. And just, yeah, wasn't super sharp. The walks hurt. One of the walks was with the bases loaded that brought in a run there in that long fifth inning. Or, excuse me, bottom of the fourth inning. And then some of those pitches, like, yeah, I will give credit to the D-backs for coming through. Because some of them, it's not like they were all meatballs. But there were some that just... They moved right into the swing path of these D-back sitters. And that obviously has to be better if Casey Mize is going to be that possible frontline potential starter that he has been recently with the Tigers.
I mean, he's been literally one of the best pitchers in baseball recently. So this one is definitely a bummer. But if I'm going to try to look on the positive side of things, his worst outing in terms of earned runs this year, four and a third gave up five earned runs. The outing after that, he went five and two thirds and gave up only one earned run. The next outing, he went six and two thirds, gave up no earned runs. The outing after that, six innings, one earned run.
What does the host think about Mize’s recent performances after his bad debut?
So I'm just looking at that as you know like maybe he's gonna look back at this and find something that was a problem a big problem that just the regular fan like myself can't see but maybe there's something that can be identified there and he can come back and be strong and be one of those great arms in the game which is what what what we want for sure And I deal with the buzzer like that at the deadline. I was super pumped to see Casey Mize come across my screen on that John Heyman tweet. So my excitement, it's not like it goes away after this one outing. It was just one of those where it was like, okay, that is a rough start to this one. That is a rough start to this Padres career. So, yeah. Velocity was there.
He was throwing 96 on his fastball on the first strikeout that he had. That was one of those that the batter probably should have been swinging at. But now Kyle Hart is in the game, and this is going to be one of those where it's probably like, hey, Kyle, suck it up. Suck it up. Would have been a good day for Juan Marquez, probably. He got DFA'd today, so we'll see if another team ends up picking him up. But I guess it was a rule that Robbie Ray had to be activated today, which I think is kind of dumb. Because I know he's not hurt, but if you're a starting pitcher acquired at the deadline and you're not scheduled to start until Friday, then... Can you just be activated on Friday so that you can have a long man in the bullpen to help your team out?
But I guess it's the rules, so it is what it is. But yeah, that's the next Padres debut that we can look forward to, and hopefully that's going to be a better one. Robbie Ray, who his last outing was at Petco, where he dominated the Padres, and so hopefully he can dominate the Astros coming up on Friday. So yeah, Casey Myers, I'm not worried. But that was just one of those that was not expected. I was not expecting him to have his worst outing of the season in his Padres debut. Again, the walks got to him. Three walks. One of them, again, with the bases loaded. That's just completely inexcusable. And then the home run by Tim Tawa was obviously a meatball. You move on. You flush it. Obviously, Casey Myers isn't going to want to flush it.
He's going to want to see if he can learn something from this.
