Thee you go again with your insults. I hope it helps your lack of self esteem that you yourself said is lacking. That's not a good way of making up for it. Projection much? You insulted me first....Self-awareness? Do you expect me to give you a pass if you're an ass? Again, practice what you throw in other people's faces. The fair odds of winning the division, accounting for some variables in front of you, is probably somewhere between 4% and 6%. That's what you're arguing for. The computer odds right now are 2.8%. So, yeah.....pass. Wrong, AGAIN. You said I wasn't smart. I'm used to it, but I only react. I said you sound triggered, because you were. Reality. |

Yeah, you define simple, for sure. Notice you didn't even address the downside? Surpriseeeeeeee. Serious quesion: Winning the NL West or a World Series? Which one actually matters? Just a waste of time to converse with someone who can't be objective. I absolutely addressed the downside. I said that if they weren't in it after 5 or 6 innings you pull people. I understand the strategy of resting guys, but it's not time for that yet, in my opinion. Geeze, you really get triggered when someone doesn't see things your way. Get help for that. Sheesh. No, John, the simple answer is you're just...wrong. You never addressed the downside of what happens if you win this game. You want to argue for the sake of arguing with silly justifications, meaningless clichés and outright fallacies. Think. You're literally saying you would quit after 5 or 6 innings. Being smart with usage doesn't equal quitting. It's just being smart. I'm out. |

Zero to do with fandom. Just like it had zero to do with fandom concerning giving up at the All Star Break. It's about strategy. You play to win tonight, unless you're out of it after 5 or 6 innings. You want to give up before the game starts. Shame on you. L...o.. l. Everything you say comes from a fan perspective. Everything. If you want to insult someone, pick a different route. What "strategy" would you refer to at the end of July? Give me a break. You're a fan, nothing more. Yes, I'm a proud fan, and someone who knows the game. On the other hand, you're a stat boy who uses that as your go to for anything and everything, and doesn't utilize other important factors when trying to make a point. It's very tiresome. |

I'm not triggered, you're just incapable of seeing things beyond yourself. That's reality. We have different concepts of what's actually beneficial and what's real. You're manipulative and you see things one way. I don't. Carry on. |

And yes, of course you pull your players, and pitch a Matsui if they're getting curb stomped, which they most likely would anyway. That's smart. I know you don't like it when myself and others disagree with your opinion, in which you said that it was only your opinion, and not necessarily what Shildt will do tonight, but show some respect and don't say it's not smart when it could go either way. Nobody said you weren't smart, initially, when they disagreed with you. You don't like it when someone says you get triggered, but oh boy, nothing could be more truthful concerning that. |

Don't be triggered. It just reminded me of that scenario. You are giving up if you play you're less talented guys today, over the better ones that are available. I'm hoping they don't do that today. Talk about out of reality. You saying that they shouldn't play their best players tonight is what's not reality. They may do what you're hoping they do, but I wouldn't agree with it. I think they play to win if they're still in it after 5 innings. If Musgrove gets pounded, that may change things. We'll see. I'm not triggered....it's just stupid. Your idea of "selling" is quitting. That's not real. It never was. No, you're not giving up, you're playing basic..freaking...odds. Period. Stop being myopic and be a realist. You're way too much of a fan to even understand the upside involved here. Nice insults, from someone whom is wrong here. The odds begin after tonight's game. Instead of insults, why do t you say, I simply don't agree with you. As soon as it gets to be a bad k and forth, you feel the need to insult and when it's reciprocated, you have the nerve to call out the person for it. Amazing. |

It has nothing to do with respect. It has everything to do with basic level understanding of situations that you can't see past as a fan. It could not go "either way." It's outright malpractice to chase a 2% outcome at the expense of guys who already have been overused. It's simple. Cut and dry. Enjoy the game. |

The odds don't begin after tonight's game, they are currently active, right now, before the game even starts. (Basic. Understanding.) I don't care. Bygones are bygones, go team win. |

Even though you're being condescending AGAIN, yeah, bygones be bygones. Of course the odds are always there, but in my opinion you don't start thinking about them until after the game or if they're getting beat bad. Go Padres!!! |

Scott and Adam didn't throw yesterday. You need Scott, your best lefty, against Shohei today. Just only use him for Shohei, Betts, Freeman. Adam is good to go, he pitched on Tuesday 1 inning, and a third of an inning on Saturday. Morejon 100% agree, he should not be pitching today or tomorrow - his usage has been pretty high. If you can get a good outing out of Musgrove this is less of an issue. You can go to Matsui against the Dodgers 8 and 9 hitters + Shohei, although using him against Shohei, Betts, Freeman scares me (personally). They didn't throw one day? It's a miracle. They've been used a ton, in a ton of high leverage spots, which all add up. Matsui hasn't thrown in nearly three weeks. I'm speaking for myself, for what it's worth, not what Shildt is likely doing. Matsui should be used today against Shohei, completely agree there. Adam's usage has not been that high in the last week. Maybe you don't use Scott, or you go to Matsui first. Suarez has been awful with location so it makes sense to give him rest anyways. |

Looks like they're playing their starters according to ESPN. Also, Tatis has had a lot of success against Buehler. Look for that, hopefully.

Matsui hasn't thrown in 19 days. If he's used tonight, specifically to face Ohtani, you'd have to question that process. |

My focus is 99% on the bullpen. Tatis and Arraez could really use the rest. I actually am in favor of resting them for some/all of the AZ series (use them as left/right pinch hitters). Start Solano and Peralta. No idea why Matsui hasn't pitched in 19 days, that's nuts. |

My focus is 99% on the bullpen. You did mention Arraez, Profar etc.... Anyway, I agree that the focus should be on the bullpen, only if the game seems to be out of reach. Having said that, that rule is tough to follow because the Padres have a knack for coming back, but that's why Shildt makes the big bucks. Also, I'm not saying your opinion is outlandish. It's just a strategy I wouldn't implement before the game starts. |

Hoeing (who has been a top three reliever this month) was in a very similar boat prior to last night. One game since the 11th. Two games, rather. |

I agree, unless we win tonight. I say start them again tomorrow and then use the strategy of pulling them if we're getting crushed, or maybe don't start them if the Dodgers are way ahead against the Rockies. The Dodgers game starts at least an hour earlier than the Pads game. |
