How did the Padres lose a 3‑0 lead to the Dodgers?
Did that really just happen? That really just happened. The Padres have found Another way to choke away a lead. against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Wasn't good enough to have a six nothing lead the other night. Wasn't good enough to have a three nothing lead tonight. Because we can't feel the ground ball to second base. And then give up the grand slam to Oscar. And that is that. It was off to a great start, just like yesterday's game. Had a three-nothing lead. It was awesome seeing Nando use his speed. Gavin Sheets come through. Jackson Merrill takes Shohei deep. Been waiting for that. Xander coming through with a double to score Merrill. Three nothing lead there. Going into the bottom of the seventh. And Michael King was
For the most part, tremendous tonight. He was averaging ten pitches in inning through five. Fifty pitchers through five innings. Gets through the sixth and then the seventh. Couple of base runners and a couple of hits there. Um, then they end up going to Morahone and I'm like, all right, we're in the seventh inning, maybe Morahone can give the Padres five outs, and then Miller can get four outs, and that's how you do it. Um But nope. Morhone did his job to start it off. He gets the double play ball. Which would have been two outs in the inning. But crony Worries about getting the ball to second base before fueling the ball. Bobbles it, then tries to glow flip it over to Xander, who then It wasn't a great flip, but doesn't catch it either.
And it just looked like a little league team out there on that play. And then what do you know? Tay Oscar hits a grand slam. I think on the very next batter. And it's like That's such Padres baseball right there. That is such Padres baseball. You make a Huge mistake like that. The daughters are going to capitalize. And yes, Marhone deserves blame on this too, and they're just reshowing The ball was in his glove, like it hit the heel. But it was still in his glove and then comes out. And then just a hanging breaking ball over the middle of the plate to take Oscar.
Yeah.
Crony probably wanted to dig himself a hole and just crawl right into it. But yeah, like Morahone deserves blame. You have to make a better pitch than that. You can't just Toss a breaking ball right over the middle of the plate like that. Uh but Even if more home does that same exact thing. And gives up it would have been a two run home run in that situation. Instead of four. The Padres could have still won that game. And we could have seen Mason Miller pitch another night where Mason Miller doesn't pitch. So the plan almost worked where they go King, Moorhone, Miller. Instead it's King Tomorahone and they never get to Mason Miller. So Now the pod rays are under five hundred. That is their what seventh consecutive loss?
Rock bottom, like again. I think a lot of people thought, Wow, rock bottom.
What were the pivotal moments in the game (Merrill’s double, Xander’s hit, Oscar’s grand slam)?
was the twenty three to three loss to the Cubs. And then w last night was rock bottom. Having a six nothing lead and then losing. Not just losing, but getting blown out still in that game. And then ton tonight happens where they just invent another way to lose. So as things stand right now. The Padres are Four games back in the wildcard. Three and seven in their last ten, and obviously seven losses in a row. Negative 42 run differential. They're 20 and 23 on the road. Twenty three and twenty one at home. And oh by the way, we still got two more against the Dodgers. So yeah. I mean this could easily be nine losses in a row. And that's where You'll look back and say That's where you lost your season. Um, because I remember going into this thirteen game stretch.
Where I was like If they're fine during this thirteen game stretch against the Dodgers two series, the Braves, the Cubs, If they're fine, if they go around five hundred, six and seven, seven and six, whatever. That's not gonna make or break the season. What's gonna make or break the season is then if they crap the bet against the bad teams. But What's gonna mess up their season is if they're terrible. And sweeping imagine if they didn't sweep the Braves. How even worse this would have been.
