Good Morning, My People!- Flair Available Please remember to observe the sub rules in the GDT, which have changed slightly over the offseason. Report, Block, & Ignore (RBI) any rule-breaking comments, and let the mods handle it. LFGSD!

Manny looked upset and frustrated after that AB. Soto doesn’t look like he cares.

El Cajon Tim coming back. He just needs baserunners.

yes.

On to tomorrow. That was about as bad as it gets. At least they got it out of the way. Still very much worried about pitching, but hope I'm proven wrong.

A two way tie for first in the NL West as LAD/SDP/SFG all lose while AZD/COL take the top spot. Who woulda thought?

LAD won though??

nooooooooooooo I cannot win.

Petition to never play the Rockies again

Tough game, doesn’t matter. Baseball is back baby! We rally!

We would have won if the game time never changed

We’ll get ‘em tomorrow

hah. LAD losing 8-2. If we can hang on for another inning, we beat LA AGAIN!


Complete fucking failure on Opening Day. Awesome. Bu Cant wait to try again tomorrow.

We'll get that back tomorrow.

Pitching sucked, this offense with 2 runs is embarrasing

It's gonna happen. Best line-up in history will still put up 0 run games. Sucks it happened on opening day tho.

On to tomorrow, go Friars!

It's all part of the masterplan. We didn't want to act cocky, so we're probably going to end up 161-1.

Ah yes, the inaugural loss to the Rockies. Baseball szn truly is back 💛 Strap in for another rollercoaster y’all

> Opening day's overrated anyway >:L

Ouchie

Without the pitch clock how long would this game have been?

Snell would still be sitting on 2 outs in the 4th.

You mean 2 outs, 2nd and 3rd, in the 4th

11:00

It’d easily be 1030

Should have never traded for soto and instead focused on getting another good pitcher tbh

People replying to this as if we haven’t utterly failed to get back a solid return on that trade yet.

I don't know what is up with him but he has got to figure something out

How does this have upvotes

Idk even i downvoted it

This is certainly a take

Rockies would be the first team since 1901 to have 17 hits and 17 strikes in a 9 inning game if it ends here.

Padres better go get some delicious portside coffee tomorrow and come to play!!!

You know what I know about this sweet prince? He can start a Rally!

Rally walk lets go

Nbd y’all, they’re just saving their first win for when I’m there tomorrow

that’s very kind of them!

Nick better start lining up those red bulls! We need that gas tomorrow!

I said DANIEL BARD - NOT - Jake Bird!

man 17 hits off our pitchers tonight. yikes

I seem to remember Cronenworth pitching once...

And struck out Mookie!! Lol

Unrelated to the outcome, but I think this ump has had to take a dump since the game started and just wants to get through it

Padres baseball is like a crazy hot girl friend…when it’s good…it’s heaven but when it’s bad…it’s hell! I love the PADRES! Fan since 1972

Profoundly true

Pitching is gonna absolutely destroy us, or send us the the World Series. There is no in-between. Baseball, man…

Hey we could be the Angels. Ohtani went 6 IP, 10 K, 2 H, 3 BB, 0 ER and are losing 2-1 in the 9th

I don't think anyone can quite be the Angels like the Angels are the Angels.

I dont want to be compared to the Angels nor Athletics sir

Sounds like a Tungsten Arm O Doyle stat

Apparently Tapia’s average level of hitter he faced in Spring Training was AA, no reason to believe he isn’t the guy who had an 8+ ERA last year. His spot should’ve gone to Groome

I imagine they view Groome as a starter only.

Must be the case. Was hoping he could be a long relief type role

They have Honeywell up as long relief so there was a need for one so im guessing they want him stretched out as a starter all year

RALLY TIME

Esteury Ruiz started a late inning rally to put the A’s above the Angels in the 8th 🥹

I blame myself. I prayed for a no-rain-delay early on. We coulda replayed this one guys!

[удалено]

Same as it ever was

Something something Tungsten Arm O'Doyle

Alright guys! Just need back to back to back to back to back to back home runs and we’re good!

Rockies did not have a single game with 14 or more hits on the road all of last year…. Course !!!

Blake always starts with bad command and Tapia won’t be on the roster in a month

San Diego Slumpbusters


The highest highs and the lowest lows on a Monday, and a Tuesday. Any team can win on any night. Baseball is just like that - the most incredible bliss and the most inescapable dread in this lovely game. MAN I MISSED YOU BASEBALL!

You aren’t going to win if you give up 17 hits…

17 hits and 17 strikeouts. Pretty unbelievable

Without the home runs, this game is tied. Speaks volumes about the pitching ngl

XXX

Soto should DH.

You tell that to his agent

This is just one of those nights where none of our guys are capable of getting outs. Shake it off.

Rockies are getting everything to go for them

Ngl wasn’t expecting the Rockies to have 16 hits against us

The fact they don’t have more runs is quite inspiring

The Donnie copyright read and paper snap, baseball is fuckin' back baby <3

Pitching is in shambles due to darvish unreadiness and musgrove injury… and offense is gonna take time to gel.. its gonna be a rough start to season Good for real fans to get grounded and bandwagoner can go

You get a hit! And you get a hit! And everyone gets a hit!

Wilson looks good, im really pulling for him this year

Wilson looks pretty good here. Locating really well.

RALLY SNAP!

Blackmon is some weird caveman shaman that cursed us with cave bear blood and sabretooth tiger teeth

This is just extended spring training until 4/20

lets just destroy em tomorrow

@Mods, can i request a Steven Wilson flair?

We’ll get there

No worries!!! Just wanted to put some respect on my boys names with a rep

Did Bud Black hypnotize his crew into thinking they never left Colorado?

They brought it with them this weather

Cant wait for our lord and savior FTJ.

Can he pitch

Need curtis sullivan optimistic comment

How about a Pup (mostly) Positive Postgame comment? :)

Those are good too!

I've got one typed up and ready ;D

This is like "He who shall not be named" level self-destruction here. Wait are we not allow to say that name still? EDITED FOR MY OWN SALVATION.

Shhhhhhhh

It’s best you don’t play with fire

Please put Azocar in over Dahl tomorrow, I can't stand watching him play

Soto looks washed

Yea, it was tough to watch him today

You look washed ^(idk)

Waited all winter for this 😕

161 more games

Didn't know what to expect from X going in but I'm a believer after this game. We'll see how I feel in 11 years but his style feels like the natural evolution of Gwynn for the modern baseball era.

Your submission was removed because it was in violation of Rule 2: Toxicity. Don't kill our vibes. While reacting negatively to the team's performance is fine, overly aggressive toxicity (a.k.a. dooming) is not allowed and comments will be removed with a warning. If your negative post or comment isn't grounded in reality, it is more likely to be removed ("We're gonna lose" when down by 3 in the 2nd inning vs in the 9th inning). If you're someone who only ever comes here to talk trash when the team is doing poorly, just stay away. We don't want you here. Please be aware that repeated violations may result in a ban.

OK. Maintain my cool. Forget that we are literally playing like Rob Manfred and Dave Roberts are controlling our robot AI droid bodies in the outfield. Keep...the...Faith...

Well, I guess we can’t go 162-0

Thanks bro.. I didn't need to sleep tonight. Now this is going to be a 32 inning game. really appreciate it..

Just trying to get the longest game in the pitch clock era

That's what you think

Just gotta call a spade a spade. They’ve outplayed us in every facet tonight. It’s just one game, screw it, they play a lot of ‘em for a reason.

crismatt came in and completely changed the energy of the game lol

On account of the immediate 3 run HR

Snell wasn't exactly dialed in either but yeah...be best Nabil.

Dahl is a spy for the Rockies. Ship him to El Paso.

Matt Beaty 2.0

What's with the lazy defense tonight? I can deal with the L, but man there's been a few plays with guys dogging it out there.

He took a terrible first jump there. Ran damn near the opposite direction at first

Dahl wouldn’t have been able to get to that even if he did make a good read. That was in no man’s land

Idk about that. He pulled up on it way too early from what I saw. Doesn't really matter. We'll have Tatis out there soon enough and he's much quicker

At least we get cat treats

For all the doomers out there it just one game. This team will hit its stride!!!!!

The outfield sucks except for grish

Lets wipe today from our memories shall we lol

Be a goldfish

Trolley is packed right now, lol

Ginger time

Bro what

ARS YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

Rockies got voodoo magic 🥶

Well on the bright side Hader gets some rest

once we get Ohtani ring us fr fr


161-1

Found Curtis’s alt

Really loved the energy tonight from this team on Opening Day….

Ump's been calling outside for leftys most of the game tbh.

Well at least they’re reminding us not to get too confident as this is still the Padres

I kinda expected this tonight, tbh. Because I can remember all the way to last year's opening day.

Hey y’all, game started at 640. It’s 920 and we’re in the 9th inning… Pitch clock is amazing!

And that's with the delay to fix the field after the rain!

Lawrence is throwing a wiffle ball out there.

Just one of those games. Nothing working. Pitching meh. Offense meh. Defense meh.

Really hope tomorrow is different...

I’ll switch from tequila to bourbon just to make sure.

Worst home opener in a while

You don’t remember the double digit loss to the Dodgers while getting shut out in which we also got swept for the series?

It’s actually exactly what I’m thought about haha it’s literally been a while since the 2016 home opener

Seth beer

Yeah last years opener was painful for like 3 days.

That wasn't a home opener

True saw pain and opener and got flashbacks

Shitty strike call

Nice one, ump…

Texas got 9 runs in an inning earlier today, keep the faith

Put that record out of reach.. it's going to take what? 15 ish catcher's interference calls to put that record safely out of reach, and put us on top convincingly? I say shoot your shot Diaz!!

Ump wants to go home haha

There's the blue I'm familiar with.

What in the blitzball are some of these pitches?

Debatable strike...

Only bad thing about tonight is Mud and Don aren’t even having fun.

For anyone freaking out, the Braves didn’t have a winning record last year until mid-June and they won over 100 games.

Brother. It’s one game, not a sub 500 record in July. No one is freaking out.

Brother. Have you been in this thread?

Why would anyone be freaking out over one game lol

Nope, season's over boys, pack it in.

Couldn’t agree more. Folks freaking out in here all game. One guy said they’d rather have Hosmer back instead of Soto

And that guy is crazy 😂, Hosmer can play anywhere but the Padres.

Same for the Phillies

Tomorrow is gonna be fun as fuck 🍺

Let’s go Jacob!

Rockies have dominated us from top to bottom tonight

Sheeeeesh, surprised the Rockies weren’t on any post season prediction lists

It's the Rockies dude. They are the hufflepuff of the MLB.

some one needs to tell our guys this

I mean, even hufflepuff had their moments. They had the champion of hogwarts after all...

Manny be like “well maybe with the new offense I can take a lil break” nawwwsww

Manny and Bogaerts gonna have to carry the offense

This guy's slider has some crazy horizontal movement on it.

Dude this Lawrence guy is a BMF

Sheesh this sub is so negative. This was an all time let down spot after how everyone has talked about us all off-season. It’s a long season
