Come on Arraez. That pitch was way inside for ball four, to get the bases loaded for Profar. It was 3-0. Horrible decision there, as he ends up popping out. Clutch Profar had a good chance to drive in more. Those little/big things can matter so much in the end.

Can't believe the Padres can't score against the worst pitching staff in MLB. Not just the NL, the absolute worst in baseball. It's last in ERA and before you attribute it all to their home field, know that their ERA is actually worse on the road than at home. 5.62 vs 5.28!
6 runs in 2 and a half games so far. What the hell is going on game after game, series after series? Maybe Shildt needs to hold off on all his sweet talk to and about his team for just a couple games and try a few well-placed kicks in the rear.

You're welcome, just as I post the previous one, the Padres go deep twice.

They struggle with the Rockies every year, for whatever reason. And they are sixth in baseball offensively, so outside of the Rockies, things are going well.

Sometimes there's that one team that gives you trouble and the Rockies are that team for the Padres. Kinda like a pitcher that has a batters number, so to speak. I was like you, and got really frustrated with them against this horrible Rockies team, but I've learned to temper that because for some reason they've got our number, sans this Series, so far. 6-2. Edit: 7-2.

I sure hope that happens. I may be wrong, but it seems like the Rockies have had our number for a few years now.

Coming up, the Diamondbacks play the Guardians on the road, The Braves have the Brewers at home and the Mets play the Rockies on the road but before that they have a makeup game with Cardinals on the road tomorrow. We have the Pirates coming up on the road.
Tough Series for the D'Backs, and the Braves coming up. Hopefully, the Rockies can get at least one against the Mets.

Playoff odds should be around 74% after today. Probably Arizona and the Mets to round out the field.

Hardest two months of baseball coming right up. Survival of not only the fittest, but maybe the luckiest, too. Luck somewhat favors SD with scheduling… now if they can just get back to 100%. Stay tuned.

What's up with this years schedule, Padres last played the D'backs July 7th and will not play them again until the last series of the year starting September 27th? They are in the same Conference/Division and do not see each other for 11 or 12 weeks? ? ? But the Padres do get to play the Rays, Tigers, Mariners and the White Socks the last month of the season, go figure.

We have 12 winnable games coming up next: 6 vs the Pirates and 3 each against Marlins and Rockies. I would hope we'd go at least 8-4, preferably a bit better. If we have to face Skenes twice, those might be losses and Colorado kills us in Denver.
But Skenes isn't expected to go past 150 innings this year and they're pretty hardcore about that. They've already pulled him from two no-hitters because of pitch counts. He's at 113 so far counting his Minor League innings too. That leaves maybe six 6-inning games remaining for him and they have 51 left. So maybe we don't see him twice.
I'd love to finish that stretch 14 or 15 games above .500.

Padres have the best record since the ASG. Unfortunately, Arizona isn't cooperating.
