Tons of weak contact all series (with notable exceptions). Just feels impossible the way they are swinging it right now to put together a rally much less score 3 runs.
I'd pitch around Kelly to get to PCA here if I was the Padres.
Edit: Yep, I didnt think they'd actually INT walk him but with a lefty ready thats absolutely the right call.
It's sad that we think that way. We have the capacity to line doubles down the line like they just did. Wind blowing in shouldn't automatically mean there can't be any offense.
No one. They said he's been struggling in the first inning so lets have his first inning be against a more lefty heavy part of the lineup and have one less time against their best hitters.
Seiya has been solid defensively but I'm sorry he should not be waving off any fly balls that PCA can get to. Every time he goes to catch a fly ball I have flashbacks of the drops against Atlanta and Cincinnati.
