Why did the Padres struggle despite scoring six runs against the Rockies?
All right, what's up, everyone? I'm going to be live here for however long. Don't know if I'll be live until the end of the game. I just wanted to make sure I got this in before I fell asleep because I might fall asleep at any moment. So Crony almost grounded a new double play right there. Bottom of the eighth, Rockies up 7-6 on the Padres. Tatis has had five hits in this game. He's five for five. He's one of what? I think they're saying on the broadcast, one of 10 players this season that's had a five-hit game so far. So that's one of the very encouraging things from this game. Having six runs on the board, that's encouraging. It's a good thing to see. But It's one of those, like, at this point in time, if you lose to the Rockies, I don't really care if you score six runs, you still lost.
And you just swept the Marlins. These are opponents that you want to take advantage of. You want to capitalize on these opportunities and not score six runs and not be able to win the game. The Padres are lucky to be in this situation here where they're in a one-run game, if we're being honest. Because Freddie Firmin, he reached and scored that sixth run the Padres scored on a fielding error by Willie Castro over at third. Michael King tonight on the mound, I think he's going to be disappointed postgame in whatever comments he makes. I think he just, in some of these mistakes, they just were – pitches that were not executed. The home run to Willie Castro that he allowed, it was down the middle. And Mickey Moniak, he rakes against the Padres.
It would be awesome to have him on our team, you know, the hometown guy. That one was a missed spot. It was set up more up and in than what it ended up being, and Moniak took it out. There were some that it's like, okay, there's pitches that are a little bit off the plate, and they still drive in the run. They still do some damage off of you. That you can't be mad at. But there was definitely some missed spots here from Michael King tonight. There was an error by Colorado that scored a run for the Padres. And – Yeah, they're just still a little bit lucky to be in this spot. More home, bases loaded, and walks a batter, walks Tovar, who swings at everything. They were talking on the broadcast about how his chase rate and just he swings at, like, everything.
So when you're walking a guy that swings at everything, that's just something. It's like... put some movement on the pitch, throw them strikes, and you're probably going to get a good result from it. So that's very frustrating that Marjon wasn't able to find the zone as much as we wanted there. But it is the Rockies. It is the bottom of the eighth. They've still got four outs to work with. Manny obviously is hitting much better, and it's not something that just has started happening. He's been doing it for a good amount of time now. Fernando, obviously, Merrill has come through tonight, so there's encouraging things here with the top of this order, and Manny just challenged because that pitch was not a strike.
That's a pitch outside the zone. Jeremy Rehak. Yeah, that's a ball, obviously. Why'd Manny start walking to the dugout? That was obvious that that was a ball. But don't get me started on Jeremy Rehak tonight. I mean, holy cow. So Xander Bogarts is up at the plate earlier in the game, and it's clear that a pitch was down, a terrible strike call by Rehak, and the Padres are chirping him in the dugout immediately because they know how bad of a call it is. They can see the side angle. There you go, Manny. Ball in the gap. Oh, and he bobbled it.
How did Michael King’s missed spots and the fielding error impact the game?
He's going to score. Yep. We got a tie baseball game, 7-7. Huge. So Manny, the other day, ties it with a homer in Miami, and then here ties it with a ball in the gap there. Lovely. But yeah, terrible call by Rehak. Ball that's down outside the zone. That was a meatball to Manny. Ball outside the zone. Bogarts immediately taps his helmet. But Rehack's too busy looking at the Padre dugout, and he doesn't see that Bogarts tapped his helmet. And he did it immediately. He didn't wait.
