Don't get the worry over Yu. While he missed on the location, those 2 homers are outs in most places and the other 2 runs were due to Mannys mental error. He's fine.

Not saying it's justified, but his ERA since June 1 is 4.77.

Significantly influenced by 1 atrocious start (6 runs, 3 innings) vs. Washington, and not the best play around him. Of his 9 starts during that period, while they may not be "ace" type outings only about 2 were poor starts & he's had a couple dominant starts as well. I don't view his latest start poorly, as noted above. He should have been out of that game with giving up just 2 really ugly home runs.

Another ho-hum performance, and that's just not good enough, even if you are Yu Darvish - especially if your offense can't seem to plate runners. (Again)

He has not had a good July at all. Still hurt? Gotta wonder if this is just who he is from now on if he can't get well.

[junior]

Dealing hard and challenging hitters: 5 out of 6 outs by K, but two mistakes both cost him runs… Crazy.

He's doubled that 5 (+) and now has 12Ks in 7 innings pitched. In the low 90s as far as pitch count - so this might be it for today … but still no run support.

Really disappointing that these much ballyhooed hitters can't hit a stinkin' last place team's pitching. In fact, it's just pathetic. Hope they read this before the game's over and get off their AZZZZZZtecs!

Yu are out and Yu are out of the game…

Whether it's just a precaution - or a get me the eff out of here - another one bites the dust.

At age 37, nagging injuries become an issue. It doesn't take much to go from a team with relevancy to one without it…

Yu's 34, turning 35 on Monday.

Yu better not pout, Yu better not cry, Yu better be good… I’m tellin' Yu why… with another loss tonight, the Padres could die.

[junior]

Pee-Yu.

Another hanging stinker sent into orbit.

Good luck depending on the bull pen tonight.

Feels like the Dogs are going to take the broom to the Padres tonight.

And the freefall continues unabated…

Solid outing by Darvish. 2 misplayed balls by Tatis & Grisham away from a QS despite missing his spots early on. Gutted it out.

Pitching hasn't been the issue, but at least Snell & Darvish's performances give me some hope down the line. Just need to wake up the bats. More like give them shock treatment.

[junior]

While Yu righted the ship after he gave up 4 runs - and that's a good thing - I wouldn't call tonight a solid outing.

Not when his opponent has two hit the Padres so far. Now that's a solid outing.

You don't have to throw a shutout to be solid. Yu was more than solid.

[aardvark]

Since reaching their highest point of the season--17 games over .500--they have gone 2-12.

Putting it another way, the Padres stink.

[junior]

The Pathetics come through as they always do… as predictable as dropping a daily deuce.

[azson]

Yu's line today: 2.2 IP, 8 hits, 5 ER - ERA now over 4. I swear this team is uncanny for taking one step forward, two steps back.

[junior]

So typical that yesterday the media was all aflutter about the starters all being back now, Padres are back in this thing, etc. etc. Well, besides being back, they also have to pitch well enough to win the game, and Yu certainly didn't do that today. Yet another home run given up. It's like he can't get through a game without giving one up, and sure enough, he's had the gopher ball going in Nine games in a row. 23 HR in 25 starts is a problem. He said he felt fine today, but he had nothing in the third inning. So who are we to believe? Our noses or his estimate? Pee Yu

Here it is September, and only Snell and Musgrove actually seem to have found a groove.

[aztecryan]

Thought some might enjoy this story - Bigger than baseball.

Yu is dealing tonight. The Padres 2nd inning offensive outburst (or perhaps more honestly the Angels' relief failure) - 8 runs - made Yu's job that much easier. Glad to see Yu shake off that last outing.

At least through the 6th inning, anyway.

[junior]

Darvish pitch #4 … out of the park.

Gold Glove Grisham boots another catchable ball.

And PEE YU craps the mound - yet another home run. He's completely stunk up Oracle Park - and they're not even out of the first inning. Here we go again!

Good lord this team is snake bit.

Oops! He did it again. Another homer - and ANOTHER!. Another game lost. Just pathetic - leave him in there to get the spit beat out of him...

That makes 17 HR for Darvish in his last 11 starts. He had nothing tonight. Nothing.

[junior]

9 up and 9 down. Darvish has a good start going today. 30 pitches in 3 innings, 23 strikes.

I hope he manages to stay away from the gopher ball.

Only given up 3 hits in 6 innings. 9Ks only 1 BB. Not a bad outing. I hope he doesn't blow it in the 7th…

No Hosmer today. Could be a preview of the last two weeks of the season.

[junior]

Effing Festus Pagan comes in and craps the game.


Jeebus. Another home run given up in relief. Another win thrown out the window.

Enough of this arsonist.

[aardvark]

Great outing by Yu, but the Padres got Pagan'd.
