How did the Padres manage a 5‑1 win in the split against the D‑backs?
Alright, Padres, a big four-game split against the D-backs on the road. Obviously, you would have liked them to take three out of four. But there were a couple nights there that the offense just was very flat. There wasn't much going on. Uh but tonight was a good one in terms of the run production, finding a way to score. The first few runs, it's not like it was the prettiest. It's not like these were homers or doubles in the gap or anything like that. But find a way to get a job done. The Padres bullpen five scoreless innings tonight in this five to one win. Walker obviously he got the start. Didn't go super deep. Um, his job though, and he knows this, he's said it to the media. Recently his job is to keep the Padres in the game.
And with his outing, four innings, one earned run. He kept the Padres in it, gave him a chance, and yes, he'd like him to go five when he's one of the starters in the rotation, when there's multiple bullpen days. Um But hey, they were in a spot where Miller hadn't thrown a bit, you had more home throw, Estrada, Bradley. pick up two huge innings there to avoid having to use another reliever or to go to Estrada earlier. Um Or have Mohone pick up more than three outs or Miller have to try to pick up more than three outs. So great job from him. And just overall I thought it was a a great team effort tonight. Um sacrifice ground outs Just putting the ball in play. Yeah. Like the first run, for example, Manny grounded into a double play, but
You got the run in, right? In that situation, it's fine. Um Manny in in the third, ground ball, Perdomo bobbles it, right? Put the ball in play. It's not the sexiest. It's not a three run bomb. You know, Ty France with a sack fly. Little things like that. That's what you're gonna have to do in these big games anyway. Like you're not gonna win every game. by having a bunch of power or You know, having the the most visually appealing offensive performances. Um so what matters is they won. Losing three out of four would have like the season wouldn't have would not have been over, but they've only got one more series against the D backs, the final regular season series of the season, which could end up being uh a huge series that could decide who makes the postseason and who doesn't.
If they would have lost three out of four then they wouldn't be obviously in that same spot. They would maybe maybe you're going into that last
Why was the Padres bullpen’s performance crucial to the victory?
regular season series and you have to sweep the D backs. Uh, and you j you just don't wanna be in that spot. So Um Yes, it would have been great to take three out of four, but I I'm I'm happy that they at least split this, they're a game back. with over forty games to play, like they there's still time for them to get over the D box and just keep pace and and go into that final series in the regular season, um, over there in September. Go into that final series. With a lead over the D Bax so that You know, there's a little bit of room for error. Or if you just take care of business, boom, you can take that wildcard spot outright. Um So yeah, um I'll get to the chat if there's any comments, if there's anyone that has any thoughts, but it's gonna be a pretty short show tonight.
I I mean to me I don't think there's a ton really to to dive into in this game other than I loved just the team overall performance. Um The bullpen came up absolutely huge tonight. And just to see the amount of players in this lineup tonight come through. Uh whether it's scoring runs, right? Manny, Toddy, Meryl, Crony. scoring runs, or it's guys driving in runs, or guys walking to continu to continue an inning. Um It was just it was a much needed performance, it was an encouraging performance. And we'll see if they can continue that, obviously. Um The one thing that You know, if you wanna bring up a negative going four for fifteen with runners in scoring position, you'd obviously like that to be better. Uh but
You know, those runners in scoring position complaints, maybe that's something we can look at. If we know that they're gonna be a postseason team and we know that you know, we can look towards that and be like, Hey, if they keep doing this then that's gonna be an issue.
