Why did the Padres lose the series to the Dodgers at home?
All right, welcome on in as the Padres drop two out of three to the Dodgers. They start off the homestand. You know, the their biggest home stand of the season in terms of like the best teams they're gonna play on any single homestand, it's not gonna get better. Than the Braves and the Dodgers. They sweep the Braves. Yes, we can say Noel Cunha and didn't face their best pitcher and all that, but I still thought it was impressive. Then they go And play the Dodgers. They win the first one and it's like Man, what is happening with this team? Maybe it's turning around. That's their fourth straight win. And then yesterday happens where the home run derby takes place. Randy Vasquez just throwing up meatballs. And then today they lose four to two.
Michael King was one of the two guys going into today that I trusted, uh, especially particularly in matchups against Dodgers, Braves, teams like that. But in that fifth inning there, kind of lost it. Wasn't able to throw his change up for a strike. Um three walks in that inning, one of those walks bring in a run. And then the pitch to Mookie was just a meatball right over the middle of the plate. I want to say it was a sinker. So Yeah. And then offensively today, I mean it was I know Manny Homeward, but It was pretty atrocious. Samad Taylor's hitting second because he's been the spark plug. He I mean He deserves to be hitting up there because of the way that he's played. But today the dude was terrible. He went over four and struck out four times.
When you have that Right. You you have a rally, you got multiple guys on base and you have Samad Taylor come up. And he's doing that. It's just it's gnarly. It's that was a tough, tough watch. And then Nando obviously grounds into a double play to end it there. Um he did get hit on on the hand earlier in the game. He did stay in obviously, but Or see What ends up happening there? Um, I think the good news is that Thay France Um He appeared. Because obviously he had that injury. I know he stayed in the game but Then kinda aggravated it and then didn't play. Um so At least there's that, but Yeah. Um I think I said this after the Braves sweep, like If the Padres got swept by the Dodgers, then I I wouldn't be sitting here
You know, being ecstatic about the Padres and um just say you know, throwing the Dodgers series out the window and just wanting to think about the Braves series. And here they didn't get swept by the Dodgers, but they still lost two out of three. And What did we learn from this? Home stand against Two of the best teams in baseball. that there's like no one in this rotation to trust right now, uh other than Walker Bueller, but People would Argue that you shouldn't be trusting Walker Bueller because of his injury history, because he's not the same guy velocity wise as he was with the Dodgers. Um he's not that same pitcher.
What went wrong with Michael King’s start in Game 2?
Um but Walker is someone that I do trust. I I I can't think about oh he's not the same guy that used to be. And then you're like trying to project something where it hasn't happened. From what We've seen and and so far the way that he is pitching. He's Someone that I trust. Uh I wouldn't have said that at the beginning of the season, but from the sample size that we've seen so far, he's made sixteen starts and I know it's not the best D R A, you know, in the league, but Based on You know what we should be expecting from Walker Buhler. It's pretty dang good. Um He hasn't given up more than one run in any outling since Last month, May twenty seventh. And that was five minutes third and he gave up two earn runs.
He hasn't he hasn't given up more than three earned runs in and outing since May fifth. Every start In June he only allowed one earn run. So He's the Padre's best starting pitcher right now. Um, I really wanted Michael King to come through and Yeah. have that outing where it's like, Yep, we've got two of 'em at least. And I'm not saying that Michael King can't go start, you know, make five great starts in a row and then, you know, we can get back on my good side, but Right now it's It's hard to feel great about this rotation.
