Had a rocky beginning, but settled in to throw a decent game given the conditions. 6 innings, 8 hits, 3 runs, walked a batter and struck out 5. Ended the night striking out the side.

Was on the hook for a loss, but the boys picked him up late.

Once again, I predicted (in 2019 I believe) this guy might not be ready until 2021 or 22 and I was shouted down like a heretic by most of you internet “experts”.
Most pitchers drafted in the first few rounds get 3-5 years in the minors to learn how to pitch and figure out how to command their stuff. The Padres aren’t going to rush Gore in the majors only to have him get tattooed in his first 4 starts with a 6 run ERA. No way. Until this guy consistently mows down double and triple A hitters he hasn’t demonstrated he belongs in the Show.
That’s all.

It was encouraging though, that he only walked one.

So you were omniscient enough to know that there would be no minor league season in 2020 and a heavily reduced schedule on the MLB side? Because the truth is he would have been up last year in a normal, functional MLB season without COVID interference. You must feel like the tallest dwarf.

It was a compliment. There aren't many tall dwarves. Geez😲 To be fair, the original post is silly, reductive hindsight. Chestbeating without a foundational context of *why* Gore wasn't up last year when the team has stated more than once that he would have been up with the Padres if the season were even a handful of games longer than it was. Many, many pitchers do not spend 3-5 years in the minors honing their craft. The OP is right in the sense that they want MacKenzie up to stay when he does come up and he's still just 22 years old. There's zero need to force his development in any capacity.

I feel the need to bring this up because your memory is very spotty Ryan. What does AJ Preller have to do with an outright false statement on Gore? Confused. You came on to beat your chest about being right about something....and you weren't. If last year was a 162 game season with an actual minor league calendar, he would have been up. That's not my opinion - That's what Chris Kemp and Sam Geaney said.

What the original post said was inaccurate - Dwarf comment aside, that's the larger point here. I'm sorry for calling the OP a tall dwarf.

What I said was 100% accurate. By the way, a jab is when someone doesn't have the backbone to address someone directly and instead makes an unnecessary comment in an indirect manner. I don't need to do that, because I'm willing to address you directly. Conflict over.

Tonight's outing, in the 9-8 loss to Albuquerque--Gore threw 77 pitches in 3.2 innings, allowing 6 hits, 5 runs (all earned), 1 BB and 4 K's.
El Paso did have a lead when Gore was pulled, but the BP gave it up later.
