Cubs (Boyd) vs Padres (King): Wild Card Game 1, 9:00pm CST

[We Got The Whole 9]

Agreed, Clayton, what the hell is going on with Bregman tonight?

[abuck1220]

how the horsefeathers did bregman ever get a hit off this guy, let alone go 7-8?

[UMFan83]

How the hell did Bregman go 4-4 with 2 HRs on Sunday?

[Tryptamine]

You could give Bregman 10 more at bats and he still wouldn't touch that sweeper, absolutely terrible.

My 10 year old before going to bed said “we gotta put our best pitcher in tomorrow” and I said “ok who is our best pitcher then?” and he just stared at me for about 10 seconds before turning around and walking away upset. 

Peterson I guess?

There's always tomorrow,  but tonight has gone as we thought would likely happen. 

Terrible pitching and bats struggling

Not a single positive to take away from this horsefeathers show

Ben Brown turned himself around. he had to go outside the organization to a player on another team so he could learn a new pitch.

Fair point.

Too loud to hear the trashcans in SD

[javy knows my name]

Probably a good time to share my total disdain for San Diego as a city and population

Also if Michael King walks off the mound reacting to a pitch 8" out of the zone again I'm gonna lose it

Credit to Michael King for coming out like a house on fire. But he can't keep that pace: his fastball is 4+ mph high and his sweeper is 5+ mph over his season average. 

He'll gas out before the fourth ends at that pace. 

[ron howard voiceover] 

[JBears79]

Welp im out. Not watching this embarrassing no hitter. See you all tomorrow.

[We Got The Whole 9]

We have had some mind-numbingly limp performances in the playoffs in my lifetime but damn this one is threatening to top them all. Not a single favorable aspect to point to.

Yeah, Peterson or Shota, but Shota pitched 1 inning on Sunday, so I want Peterson.

Why don't you like SD? It's pretty nice, although it has gotten a lot dirtier in the last 10 or so years. I was out there a couple years ago and it was kinda sketchy by the stadium. It used to be really nice but not so much anymore.

[UMFan83]

Well on the plus side we probably won’t have baseball next year until July at the earliest

The people. Surfer dude douchebaggery meets military conservatism is a brutal combo

The downtown is also sterile. No culture whatsoever. Reminds me of downtown Phoenix

2008 vs Dodgers and 2018 vs Rockies were the most pathetic off the top of my head but this has potential to be worse than 2018. 2008 the expectations were so high so it will be tough to beat that.

That what I was saying last week, they just dont have anyone to hand the ball to and feel confident in getting at least 5 solid innings from, except maybe Peterson now.

Civale always has this look on his face like he’s about to have a stroke. Perpetually sweating. 

[UMFan83]

Don’t the Padres want their most reliable starter to be fresh for the NLDS?
