Why did the Padres lose the series finale to the Braves 6‑5?

Ben Fadden 0:01
All right, Padres they lose the series finale to the Braves today, six to five. So another Close loss and so now the Padres are three games under five hundred. And now they're gonna move on to face off against the Miami Marlins, who are ahead of them in the playoffs. This is a Marlins team that has really, really struggled. Um so maybe they're getting them at the right time, maybe they're getting them at the wrong time, 'cause if they've lost that many games in a row, maybe this is the time that they turn it around. Um, but for this Brave series, that goes down as a series loss, four game series. You were hoping to at least split the four. And take two and then they take two, but nope. Series loss against the Royals coming out of the break and then they s uh lose three out of four.
Ben Fadden 0:46
to Atlanta here. And so there you go. Three games under five hundred. And the starting pitching probables for this next series for the Padres, it's not like that that's super encouraging. I think it's Herman Marquez and Walker Bueller and um Who am I forgetting? Someone who I don't think we have a ton of faith in. I saw Too much Morton's tweeted it. Let me See who that was. Do to do JP Sears, yeah, okay. Sears has had some good out like he can give you a good outing here and there, and those guys can too. We've seen it, but I don't have I don't have confidence in Walker Beely right now. I don't have confidence in Herman Marquez. I don't have confidence in JP Sears. And I think that just highlights the starting pitching situation and how can the Padres improve that situation?
Ben Fadden 1:43
Because if they're gonna want to make the playoffs, I don't think it's a situation where they can just wait until Musgrove and Pavetta come back because it's probably gonna be too late. when those guys come back. 'Cause it I don't know if they're gonna return in August. Are they is Pavetta gonna return by that date? Was it August twenty something? Where Um, if he comes back I think it's the twenty second. If he comes back before then, then the Padres don't get the option to Um I think void would be the right language. Void. the next remaining years on this deal. Um 'cause he'd be on the I L for a certain amount of days and that's in the contract. Um, so we'll see if I I I assume that he will try to come back before then.
Ben Fadden 2:31
But the right thing to do is probably take this really slow and him not come back by that day. But we'll see. If they wait that long. Are they gonna be five, six games out of a wild card going into September and then You're not gonna make the postseason.
Ben Fadden 2:57
If this keeps going like this and they get inconsistency from their starting pitching and they get down and they're giving up too many home runs like Griffin Canning today. they're gonna be in a spot where they're gonna have to go on a winning streak. They're gonna have to go win seven, six, seven games in a row.

How will the Padres' starting rotation look against the Miami Marlins?

Ben Fadden 3:13
Two to leap over these teams that are ahead of them. If these teams don't sell at the deadline, if these teams continue to be at this rate, right above five hundred. Um They're gonna have to go on a winning streak and hope that those other teams don't go on some sort of lengthy winning streak. So you're getting into some some iffy waters there. So We'll see. But yeah, Griffin Canning, I'm done with the Griffin Canning experience. The experiment, however you want to say it. I'm done. The guy gives up too many home runs. Whenever he starts, that's all I think about is okay, when is he going to give up a home run? Because he's going to. Um today he gave up four earned runs. He gave up three home runs. And this was an outing where he didn't even start the game.
Ben Fadden 4:00
They were trying to put him in a nice landing spot so that he wasn't facing the top of that brace order right out of the gate. Kyle Hart was the one that started it. And I wanna say Yeah, uh Canning comes in and then gives up the homer to Michael Harris and it's like Michael Harris is a lefty, Kyle Hart. Like you couldn't have had Kyle Hart face one more batter left on left. So that was questionable there from Stammon. Uh but maybe it was something with
