What was the outcome of the Padres‑D‑Backs four‑game series?

Ben Fadden 0:00

Alright, everybody, welcome on in here. Padres D-Bax. This series is over. Padres split the four-game set. Two games apiece. They lose tonight by a score of three to one. They won the two middle games of the series. They lost the first one. They lose this one. Um Yeah, but It's one of those Where I get the feeling of it's uh One step forward. One step back. progress, then you take it back. And The way that the season has gone so far, you just don't have much margin to keep messing around and keep doing that. Um so tonight was frustrating because You know, Griffin Canning. Sure, there could have been areas where it should have been better than how he pitched. Um You know, I think of the wild pitch that scores a run. Um

Ben Fadden 1:13

He was lucky that Uh that Corbin Carroll popped off a second base. And that Bogart had the tag there to Get him out. Because that would have been an extra run that would have scored. Um so yes, it could have been worse, but hey, he Kept the potries in the game. And That's really all you can ask for at this point with with Griffin Cannon. He's definitely not on the list of guys that you trust. Um so Really this was like Another disappointing night offensively. Um sure Manny Homered. He was one of the guys, the few guys that had actual production. In this game. But The Vaudreys offense. I mean After that solo home run What was the big offense? And you look in that ninth inning there. And You would have thought Paul Seawald was like Mariano Rivera with

Ben Fadden 2:24

How that anyway. Where You had guys just not attack they're not they were not in attack mode. In that ninth inning. Um To me it was in weight mode. And wait until you get your pitch to hit and Seawald was not gonna give you your pitch to hit. Was it a slider sweeper, whatever it was?

How did Griffin Canning’s performance affect the final game?

Ben Fadden 2:52

Bogartch. Didn't attack it on the first pitch. He gets a pitch he gets that pitch, the second pitch, and he's early. probably thought a fastball was coming. That's what it seemed like to me. Um And the last bitchy's gone. Um Nando. Pretty much not the same thing, but it was it was similar. Um I don't know what he was looking at on that final pitch of the at bat. Like that's That's an obvious pitch that you need to be swinging at. And that was the sweeper. There were just so many sweepers. And it was clear that To me at least, it was clear that that was gonna continue to happen. But The potries were not expecting that. It didn't seem like it. They were not sitting on that. They were hoping that the fastball would come.

Ben Fadden 3:54

And Seawalt's fastball is what, ninety two? So I don't think you should be expecting the fastball to be coming. Very much. Um Merrill flew out. On a fastball. First pitch or excuse me, second pitch. So it was interesting how Tatis and Bogey, they got the sweeters there. And then seawall the tact fastball. Um But that was the the pattern, at least to Fernando, was all right, gonna start him off fastball early in the count, and then after that, Gonna go sweepers is the count. goes later and rely on that. You don't want them. didn't want these pod race hitters to see the fastball too many times because there probably would have been some damage done to it. Um So that ninth ending was was very frustrating 'cause to me it was pretty obvious what was coming.

Ben Fadden 5:08

Um Yeah, but I don't really have a ton more to say about it offensively other than It was just a sucky night. offensively. I mean What was the Rutterson scoring position number? O for one. With runners in squat position. Like I don't even care if you go over I don't care if you don't come through in that one opportunity. You need more opportunities.

Ben Fadden 5:44

Um after that Manny home run. No hits in that inning. Ground out, fly out, walk, strike out. Um Nando gets picked off at first. goes diving back in the bag and jams. His finger his hand gets stuck in the dirt. And he gets thrown out. Couple of runners on in the fourth.

Why did the Padres’ offense feel frustrating after a strong night?

Ben Fadden 6:16

Grounds and uh crony grounds and do a double play. And a hard double play after a campus on a walk. So it was just like If you get a base runner handed to you. Then it was just immediately nah, we're not gonna come through, we're not gonna capitalize on this.
