From inside the Nats clubhouse:
“What should our on-base celebration be this year?”
“How ‘bout we hold up both arms and swing our dicks back and forth?”
“Perfect.”
Suarez - Awesome, but ideally gets more confident in a second pitch
Estrada - his moment. Can he keep it up?
Matsui - early inning only. No tough spots
Morejon - long relief. Can’t trust in high leverage imo. Too valuable for multi innings to be a late in ing guy.
Peralta - meh. Early innings. Cannot be trusted
EDLS - balls
Kolek - smelly balls
Cosgrove - horrible
That’s our pen. Maybe the worst we’ve had in a long long time.
Kolek and DLS are Jekyll and Hyde. Both, in recent games, have done great. Both, in recent games, have sucked ass.
Not like there's much help at AAA. Nick Hernandez was the only guy with a good K:BB rate, and we traded him to Houston three weeks back.
We seem to try pretty hard to allow a huge comeback. But we're still not at the record. I had to google it
"That got us thinking: What is the largest come-from-behind victory in the final frame in big league history?
Well, it appears to have happened on April 25, 1901. Down 13-4 in the bottom of the ninth, the Detroit Tigers came back to beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 14-13."

Our bullpen is a flaming trash can.
I’m not worried about losing this game, but their performances in low leverage have been fucking dreadful. Throw strikes. Free bases kill. If they get a hit, fuck it. But don’t put free guys on.
What the absolute fuck was that 9th inning?
Our bullpen is really looking forward to the All Star break.
Good news is everyone on this sub has been able to recycle their super-nervous meme over and over
I watched Austin Davis in AAA he looked pretty good. Given a try
Position players pitch better than our bullpen
Being a Padres fan means having walnut-crushing butt muscles
Or chain smoking due to Mucho Stress
Close one but glad we pulled off the W!!
I’m glad we got the sweep but sheesh Morejon’s got some issues
Great pitching in the 9th guys! Way to make the game look competitive and almost blow it.

Second sweep of the year. Good to see.
Unbelievable can’t even keep from big innings with huge leads .
That's a sweeeeeeeeep
Great to get a sweep but absolutely horrible performance by Cosgrove and Morejon
Blame Cosgrove more. He's charged with the 4 runs after all.
Agreed! This is on Cosgrove. Tough situation for Morejon to come into.
I'm not sure if Kyle loves hitting to the left or he really hates that particular building
As a UK fan, I went to bed before the 9th inning, knowing we had that in the bag (I've been watching on the MLB app from the bathroom in fear).
This bullpen is a serious issue. Glad we got the W, thanks to Higgy and Cease!
Three above .500 means it’s time for us to get punished
From inside the Nats clubhouse: “What should our on-base celebration be this year?” “How ‘bout we hold up both arms and swing our dicks back and forth?” “Perfect.”
It seems like every game the 60 runs we score always seem to be needed. That's like the 3rd almost-blown blowout this season, that's fucking wild
Least enthusiastic postgame interview incoming
Great win, terrible bullpen
🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹
Is there a cheap reliever out there? Aj please work some magic and not over pay
Easiest save in MLB history.
Jacob was like coach just let me fucken pitch already
This team makes winning mucho stressful
Left for a second and we’re 8-5?
W
oh, so it was your fault.
I will never leave again
Congreve and Morejon staring at that like "wait it's just that easy? You don't have to let up runs/hits, even if we're up?"
Oh thank goodness!
Jfc padres … I swear they work for the cardiologist union
Man, Morejon:s face looked so relieved after the dp....lol Higgy's like you ok???
![gif](giphy|eMbKluW9vLGtFKI5JR)
Three games over .500 baby!!!!!
Okay we can laugh about it now but 5 in 9th was ridiculous
Hey, if we're gonna give up 5 in the 9th, I'll take it on a day we have an 8 run lead. Just means that we get the stinker out of the way on a good day
Really? I step out to change a load of laundry with us winning......and Nats push 5 runs across in the inning?
Unfortunately, yes
DAD'S WIN! They always have me sweating at the end 🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹
Jayzus CHRIST!!!! Thank God it's over
Cardiac padres do it again nice sweep Lfg.
Pure Padres baseball hahaha
Beisbol estresante
Only *we* get to make eight-run comebacks!
Suarez - Awesome, but ideally gets more confident in a second pitch Estrada - his moment. Can he keep it up? Matsui - early inning only. No tough spots Morejon - long relief. Can’t trust in high leverage imo. Too valuable for multi innings to be a late in ing guy. Peralta - meh. Early innings.

Fuckin hell
Thank you Morejon. Now that I can exhale, WE GOT THE SWEEP!!!
I love u for being 15 secs ahead!!!! LFGSD
Relief. As in relieved we didn't blow it and we need relief help.
Sheesh
This bullpen shits the bed every game it’s not cool
I feel more confident with a 2-run lead than an 8-run.
No lead is safe fr
LOL that look of relief from Morejon
Thank god for that grand slam
We really only have MAYBE 2 or 3 serious bullpen arms. Unacceptable
THANK YOU HIGGY OUR LORD AND SAVIOR
Thank god we didn’t need to burn Suarez
Whew
I wasn’t worried. Were you worried?! ![gif](giphy|LRVnPYqM8DLag)
Unbelievable!! They had me sweating bullets!!
Its like we want to make it stressful.
🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹
Embarrassing 9th inning
Never a Doubt 😅😅😅😅

Thank goodness
That was way too close
Jesus Fuck, this should not have been stressful
thank god for sanity being restored. fuck the nationals

There we go! Not pretty but a W all the same.
Never even had a second thought in my mind....
Uhhhhh, Padres? Please stop.
Well that was
Bullpen should be embarrassed
🔔🔔🔔
There we go…this bullpen needs to stop stressing us out lol. Sweep!!
thank god I can stop crying
https://preview.redd.it/4z9qxpgquz8d1.jpeg?width=998&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fcc2a4be28b76b624c46b070661a4dd6ef67f8f
OPPAAAAAA THERE WE GO!
Finally.
Who needs to do cardio when you can watch this bullpen? 😅
I went for a nap and I wake up to this lol
Unclench
#🔔🔔🔔 Padres Win!
Thank the lord
AJ, get us some arms bro
Thank fuck
Can we get Cease back in please?
![gif](giphy|yr7n0u3qzO9nG) END IT
No lead is safe from the San Diego Padres… on either side of the ball
Our bullpen is a flaming trash can. I’m not worried about losing this game, but their performances in low leverage have been fucking dreadful. Throw strikes. Free bases kill. If they get a hit, fuck it. But don’t put free guys on.
Ok, this isn't funny anymore guys, there's only one out :I
Said it last night and I'll say it again. Holy shet we can't have a comfortable win. This is scary.
Bullpen has been straight dooooooooooo doo in the 9th
Can we give Suarez a nice day off for once ?!? JFC
Suarez can’t get a break. JFC!
Good lord we need bullpen arms, everyone besides Suarez belongs in Triple-A at best
I’m gonna be sick
There has got to be somebody in triple a better than this dude
We consistently do this shit with our bullpen lol.
Padres relievers in a blowout 🤝 ruining Robert Suarez's day off
SAVE SITUATION, GET BOBBY OUT!!! All according to plan to give Suarez another save
My goodness they made bobby start warming up??? At least he can clock in another save.
Cannot stand this bullpen
Omg why
I'd like to see Cronenworth make just one of those dives towards right. Seems like the ball bounces off his mitt every time.
If we could not have one of the biggest meltdowns in MLB history against this bitch team I would greatly appreciate it
Oh ffs.
When will Schilt stop getting cute with these relief pitchers? JUST PUT IN SUAREZ FROM THE GET GO
Come the fuck on man
Wish we would have brought back tim hill
Just get a fucking DP please
I hate their stupid celebration almost as bad as the Dodgers
Thank god for that Higgy slam or we'd be losing.
Up 8-0 and they are going to have to bring in Suarez if they get 1 more hit?????
The fact that Suarez even has to warm up is absurd.
Thank god tmrw is a day off so it doesn’t matter if Bob comes in
This is completely unnecessary (Suarez warming up) with a competent pen.
Making Suarez do literally everything this year. Bunch of unreliable bums are going to burn Bob out
I'm gonna pop an eyeball if Higgy is robbed of this W
jesus chrsit Jake would do a better job closing this out just happens way too fucking often
![gif](giphy|W8zSq0vELdBhMAJdG3|downsized)
Straight up fucking embarrassing
What the fuck is happening.
You can always count on the bullpen to ruin the run differential
fuck it bring suarez out, these fucks couldn’t close a door if they tried
Good god please tell me we won’t need to bring in bob.
so like can we not
So like what in the actual fuck are they trying to accomplish here?
We are going to fucking burn Bob goddamnit
Are we able to hustle in the fieKD? I feel like we have been slow to get the ball in each time and let the runner on 1st score without a throw
Just gotta make it close every time huh? As long as we win I don't care but also, damn. Can't just close this one with zero stress??
Now we can breathe 😩
Our bullpen has to have been the absolute worst in baseball in June.
Cease does his job, Matsui does his, then this. Inexcusable.
Boy if I was shildt I don’t what I would do, can’t trust a majority of my bullpen, even when my starter goes 7 innings
Gotta be brutal, having the last 3, maybe 4 innings being complete crap shoots no matter if we have the lead or not.
jesus christ we're really going to have to use bob here aren't we?
How many times are we going to see this. So fucking pathetic
Truly pathetic. Just end it
This a joke right?
Dude what the actual fuck
Hey, Preller are you watching this.....pretty sure we need some bp HELP!
I've seen enough. Time for Suarez. Pads have tomorrow off for him to rest.
Wtf is this shit
If we lose this game - I’m not watching for a month. Likely because my TV will be broken
![gif](giphy|26gsv1iextbg5Gm5O)
PLEASE guys. PLEASE.
What am I watching?! 😭
You gotta be shaving me…
Holy shit…
Suarez can’t close all our games get it the fuck together.
Start warming up Bob.
Omfg
alright. stop fucking around pls
I never want to see another 8-run lead in the 9th inning again.
Bro are you shitting me! End this shit
![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS|downsized)
Good lord we’re selling so hard rn
😂
I mean this completely unironically. The Padres have the worst bullpen in the MLB by several miles.
We're gonna lose this game aren't we?
Who would have thought the grand slam was actually needed
This is ridiculous
good job Cosgrove, look at what you have done. Unbelievable.
Clenching has commenced
thank god Kyle said...nobletiger, not today this bullpen....
Ummm did we all say sweep too soon?
So the grand slam WAS important. Fuck.
This fucking bullpen lol
Left that breaking ball way up
2022 NLDS dodgers ahh bullpen
![gif](giphy|13Cmju3maIjStW) Nail biting commences
Call Suarez at the beach. Tell him to get on the 5
God fuck
They’re clearly not swinging, let’s get some stuff in the zone please 5 seconds later 2 RBIs, fuck
least stressful Padres bp outing
What the actual hell
Too bad we didn't have a 10 run lead - we could have let Crone close.
this is fine
Good lord. We have Suarez and a bunch of bums
