What a horrible decision by Kim to try and steal third with Arraez up. And now as I'm typing this, Arraez gets a single. You don't try that this early in the game and with Arraez up? Dumb.

Why winning game one was important. Today was always going to be extremely difficult.

Looks like the real Spazquez has returned from wherever he was last month. Crapping the mound big time right now. Stop the sewage leak! Oh well. Knew he couldn't keep up his last month's worth of pitching for much longer.
Uh oh, in comes De Los Suckos to continue today's crapfest on the mound. Let the wild ruckus begin!
And as always, De Los Suckos fails immediately. Might as well leave him in to take as many innings as possible at this point. Rest a few starters since tomorrow's off - get 'em a few more hours of R&R.

Lefties hit .390 off him. Not every team is Baltimore, thankfully. They knew this was a likely possibility.

Really a poor outing even though he threw 10 first pitch strikes out of the 14 batters he faced. Just couldn't do much after that first pitch.

Well, they've pulled themselves up to within one run now. Holy Cow. Boogerts HR with Manny on base.
Meanwhile, More-on is having another day. Just blew up the game. That's not what you want from someone who's supposed to hold the score.
Their trade can't get here too soon.

Too deep of an early hole to crawl out of.

Too deep of an early hole to crawl out of. And the BP didn't help much today.

I like the fight this team has in them. They never give up, and always play hard. That's all you can ask for as a coach, in terms of desire. It has served them well this season, and will continue to for the remainder of it.

Padres acquire Jason Adam from Tampa for an exorbitant package of Lesko, Bush and former high draftee JD Gonzalez. Might be my least favorite trade of the Preller era. I love getting Adam, a sub 3 ERA reliever through 2026. Gotta say I hate the price we paid for him. Have to think Lesko + Bush, or Lesko + Gonzalez, would be enough value for a reliever. Can't believe we gave them Bush AND Gonzalez, in addition to a premium prospect in Lesko.

One of the reasons why I advocated for selling off pieces. You could have gotten a good haul for a couple of guys.

At least he's doing it for a reasonably proven commodity with 2.5 years of affordable control. Who knows - we may make a run this year, and next year have a bad season, and then we may end up trading him at the deadline next year for a solid return.

Overpaying for a non-closer reliever in general is pretty bad practice. Prices are absurd and Preller caved to demand. They aren't done.

I don't disagree, I'm just saying that it may not be as bad as it looks on the surface.

I don't disagree, I'm just saying that it may not be as bad as it looks on the surface. No, it's pretty bad. The only thing that makes it not sting as much is the industry consensus on Lesko has dipped considerably this season. He may not be able to throw enough strikes to stick. Still, with limited resources, trading for a reliever isn't the best course of action, especially with the extreme tilt towards the sellers right now. I called it my least favorite trade of the Preller era, which I'm not sure is entirely true, but it's definitely up there. Now, you're somewhat forced to gamble on a starter with even less assets available. The farm is woefully thin right now.
