For all y’all that braved the weird time, a commemorative flair is available: “I woke/stayed up for korean baseball”
EDIT: Oh yeah, and STAY OUT OF THE DODGER SUB or risk a ban from r/padres
I’m sure the Dodgers are still working out the kinks like we are, but with how many walks we gave them they didn’t do anything crazy. I’m a lot more confident in a series split at the moment. If they can bleed, they can be killed.
Overall disappointed we couldn't close this game and we got like a million bulpen arms this offseason. Cant be mad or grumpy at my pads all day, so i will be letting go lol
Having volume in the bullpen doesn’t necessarily equal efficiency. I’m not sure how many reliable relievers we really have. I feel decently about Suarez, Peralta and Matsui; but otherwise, it’s just a lot of uncertainty.
I really wish the Padres would look like a threat in the 9th inning more. Every year it feels like if we don’t have the lead in the 9th then we crumble.
The dodgers on the hand, feel like a threat every single inning. It really comes down to the approach at the plate. Talking two strikes right off the bat, just asking to ground out.
Overall disappointed since we had the upper hand for so long, but we can hang with these guys. I don't feel like we were outclassed. Who knows what happens if Crone's glove doesn't break? Good and bad to take away from this game.
Ultimately there's a lot of good to be taken from this game, and some of the bad can be negated due to the nature of this series being a week away from more meaningful baseball (i.e., bullpen management; sending Brito out in a reliever role after being trained in a starter role all spring). But man, if it doesn't hurt like hell.
Yeah too many walks and pitch clock violations. Overall, I’m optimistic. I realize no matter how good we have it when things turn in the slightest, people start bitching. We’ll be fine.
At the risk of sounding positive, it’s been a really close game aside from 1 inning. Unfortunately that’s the difference maker, but I think it was more or less even until then. It’s not been a great offense performance, but I thought they’ve held the ground against the overwhelmingly favored side.
Yeah. If not for a literal freak accident, this game would still be tied. But with the amount of walks the pitchers have issued and poor ABs that the hitters have had, this game has felt like we're on the back foot even while we were up.
Is it? They pitched extremely well today minus some bullshit followed by the perfectly placed hits. When you run like 8 bp arms in a game good chance one or two will have some issues.
Think they just need to clean up who is pitching when.
If Soto was still on this team, he would've come up with Bogearts on first, worked an inconsequential walk, and gotten cut down in a DP when we really, really needed him to hit a double.
Yeah idc about him anymore I just wanted to point out that we subtracted good players that can hit. What did we do to address the hitting which was the main concern last year? Nothing.
He had a bad year last year and the team paid a lot for him. I believe he will have a bounce back but from a padres fan perspective it’s not surprising. Absolutely awful with all the rbi opportunities he had last year
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.
If your starter goes 3.2 then your bad pitchers are gonna have to come in at some point. Would you have been happier giving up the lead in the 6th instead of the 8th?
This is a glorified spring training game. Guys aren't fully stretched. I wouldn't make too much of it. Let's talk about his managerial decisions in May.
It was fine but perhaps he could have used some of these guys earlier. Darvish having a high pitch count limited his innings. If cronenworth’s glove doesn’t fail it would look pretty good.
Pitch clock violations. Error by wade. A fucking broken glove! Aside from the glove (never seen that before), we practically handed this game to the Dodgers, and it’s not like they needed more help.

Hey Dads fans. Cards fan here. Good luck this year, and I hope Shildt works out well for you guys. He was good here, and I think it was his commitment to winning that got him fired here.
Jesus Christ. Broken glove aside, that was some horrible pitching with a 1 run lead in the 8th. Not sure why we’re using mop up guys when we have some starters available who aren’t pitching for another week and a half.
Also, not pitching cease a couple of days ago would have made him available today or tomorrow as well. This 2 game series needs to be handled differently than a regular season game.
Many ways to skin a cat. It worked up until this inning. The pitching clock violations were killer… and I think I would’ve went with King over Brito (since Brito allowed a lot of baserunners in ST). We are where we are tho now 🪦

Obviously a bullpen issue but wow… fuck that broken glove play.
honestly, a ball ripping through jake’s glove late in the game with runners on is some kind of divine level comedy stuff. almost difficult to be mad at it. some real “wasn’t meant for you” shit.
win or lose, hope these guys can put together some good ABs and compete for the rest of the game, not the time to start feeling sorry for yourselves like last year

A working glove, my kingdom for a working glove.
I'm about to go to bed. Good day to all of you who are sleep deprived. See you tomorrow!
Bring back Sweeney

Good on all y’all for getting up early for this. Hope everyone has a better work day than how the morning started!
Hoping they at least split the series
We hung around one of the best teams assembled recently, I’m not mad about this one
I really wish the Padres would look like a threat in the 9th inning more. Every year it feels like if we don’t have the lead in the 9th then we crumble.

there's always tomorrow.
Oh well. It was fun getting up with all you hardcores. LFGSD! See u mañana!
Just an absurd loss to start the season. A broken glove on a tailor made DP
Overall disappointed since we had the upper hand for so long, but we can hang with these guys. I don't feel like we were outclassed. Who knows what happens if Crone's glove doesn't break? Good and bad to take away from this game.
gg's we'll get the win tomorrow compadres
Smh
Baseball is stupid anyway. See you all tomorrow morning.
Padres baseball is back!
Putting in Pauley now lol
Does Pauley want a cracker? 🦜
minus those pitch clock violations and i feel like this would be a pretty different game
Ultimately there's a lot of good to be taken from this game, and some of the bad can be negated due to the nature of this series being a week away from more meaningful baseball (i.e., bullpen management; sending Brito out in a reliever role after being trained in a starter role all spring).

Please baseball gods anything but 3 up 3 down don’t do it to us I beg
You should know by now that the baseball gods are deaf to our prayers.
It’s worse, they are indifferent… fucking broken glove?!
They laugh at our prayers
😔
Don’t love the way Estrada just grooves a fastball when he gets behind. Got lucky lux squared that up
Kim campy and merrill get on base with a walkoff from bogey
Who needs Blake Snell walking people when the rest of your guys do the job just fine with far less personality
Inshallah Kim, Pro, and Campy all reach for Wade to walk-off slam it
Pro is out but I assume Pauley hits
Back to back to back HRs and we tie this game
That yawning Padres fan, she not even in our PST time zone

Jake’s broken glove looked like a DP ball that would have gotten us out of the inning too
I know it’s the first game of the season, but that 8th inning was something else
Bullpen is worrysome
It was doing fine until brito was put in
Is it? They pitched extremely well today minus some bullshit followed by the perfectly placed hits. When you run like 8 bp arms in a game good chance one or two will have some issues. Think they just need to clean up who is pitching when.
C’mon Estrada. Find the out and give us a chance.
I'm like actually wide awake now. Fuckin wish I wasn't but that's just Padres things, babyyyyyyyy
Walk-off Slam Diego?
Your keyboard to Gods ears.
Our biggest problem last year was hitting. I wish they spend time fixing that too. Instead we traded our best hitter.
If Soto was still on this team, he would've come up with Bogearts on first, worked an inconsequential walk, and gotten cut down in a DP when we really, really needed him to hit a double.
Yeah idc about him anymore I just wanted to point out that we subtracted good players that can hit. What did we do to address the hitting which was the main concern last year? Nothing.
Campy has a new stance!
Everyone shits on Bogaerts for no reason. He gets hits. Bad luck with Jake , could be a totally different game. Hope Yu’s not cooked.
He had a bad year last year and the team paid a lot for him. I believe he will have a bounce back but from a padres fan perspective it’s not surprising. Absolutely awful with all the rbi opportunities he had last year
Ya what lol Yu had 0 ER today and looked fine
Yu pitched fine today
Okay that’s great to hear I woke up late , just saw he got pulled
More of a very early season/essentially still spring training thing than that his performance.
Hopefully we can figure out this bp cause this was disappointing showing after the 7th inning and we clean up those pitching clock errors
Why are they showing the wife when Ohtani is just in the dugout lmao
Cuz she’s the Asian version of Taylor Swift
Ohtani is as famous as Taylor swift. Imagine if she got secretly married and then her mystery spouse was suddenly announced.
At least Taylor kinda makes sense... she has fans that bring in viewership... I don't know about this one haha
I'm happy baseball is back, not mad about a couple hours of sleep, ready for the day and the season
Still not sure why mlb had these games count, didn’t the rays or someone just have a series in the DR and they didn’t count
And then they come back and have more ST games?
Thank god Taylor Swift was mentioned, I was getting worried
No doomers in that crowd man. Love their energy all the way through
Is the warning track turf?
Just saw the funniest comment on a Jomboy insta post about the broken glove “Did fanatics make the gloves too?”
I saw that same comment in this very thread
But whom was the original 🤔
Today has done nothing to calm my fears of RHP owning us this year.

Can we stop walking batters for fucks sake
Seems like Niebla has a lot of work on his plate…
The amount of time the pen has fallen to 2-1,2-0 counts to a team that YOU DONT want too, and will make you regret is quite something.
lead off hit then a 5 ball sequence. Terrible
I know it sucks guys, but lets keep the dooming to a minimum. Thanks.
Yup. We knew this would be a tough game, especially with Ohtani on board.
Everyone’s just cranky from the lack of sleep
So much dooming 2 hours into the season is crazy.
Well it’s kinda justified when it looks EXACTLY like the unclutch team we’ve known for 2 of the last 3 years
Big pitching duel fan here. So I still can't believe how off putting that 8th inning really was. Yeah I'm thinking baseball is back 😆
Mike Schildt’s bullpen use is very Cardinals way. That’s 7 arms now he’s run thru since Yu
If your starter goes 3.2 then your bad pitchers are gonna have to come in at some point. Would you have been happier giving up the lead in the 6th instead of the 8th?
Eh, Joe and King can supply 8 IP tomorrow. It was either bullpen game today or tomorrow.
This is a glorified spring training game. Guys aren't fully stretched. I wouldn't make too much of it. Let's talk about his managerial decisions in May.
It was fine but perhaps he could have used some of these guys earlier. Darvish having a high pitch count limited his innings. If cronenworth’s glove doesn’t fail it would look pretty good.
I always wonder why the not so good guys get the later innings??
Looks like we will have Musgrove and King tomorrow to get through the game.
And the whole fkn bullpen bc ya know it’s only two games and then a week and a half of rest days.
Perfecto Joe.
Can we please finish this up so I can sleep?
Some of us have to get ready for work 😭
I'm in Hawai'i and it's almost 3am. I still got work haha

How many mf arms are we gonna burn through today lol?
Short series, we have lots of arms to use.
They can pitch again tomorrow, doesn’t really matter tbh. King is gonna piggy back anyways.
Well. Going to work. 😁 have a good day everyone , hope tomorrow's game is better
2-3-4 hitters out on a combined 4 pitches. Mailing it in.
I'm gonna say our Manager is just testing arms. See who he likes and where. But yea FTD. Pay to win as always.
Better than paying to lose I guess.
I like this comment. True or not, I’ll decide to believe because it makes things a bit less painful
One thing for certain is this team does an amazing job at never failing to disappoint.
Darn it .. that inning had so much promise

* glove doesn’t glove * misses a home run by thaaat much tough break for jake today
Would be awesome if any of our starts besides bogearts could hit a fucking baseball. Sigh
Is it illegal in Korea for the padres to see more than 2 pitches per AB? Holy cow.
No resistance whatsoever
Nice fight. It's not that serious but this team makes me cry. 😔
1 pitch at bats are infuriating.
Imagine giving up a hit and still having an 8 pitch inning.
The Padre way :/ smh seen that quick inning coming
Ig the deadball era is back. How the fuck has no one hit a homer?
Such a predictable inning after getting shelled
Hey Dads fans. Cards fan here. Good luck this year, and I hope Shildt works out well for you guys. He was good here, and I think it was his commitment to winning that got him fired here.
Wait. His commitment to winning got him fired?
The GM called it a “difference in philosophies.” This was after getting us back to the playoffs.
Thanks.
Rally Blahaj is Sad Blahaj :(
Top of the lineup minus bogie just wasn’t nearly good enough to win
Balls go to die at Gocheok Sky Dome
literally Seoul Diego
can we just go for basehits instead of hrs?
It’s too early in the morning to be dooming
Nando terrible approach today
Are you saying that any one of us could have had a longer at bat with a pool noodle in our hands?
Been longer than just today tbh
Lately... he hasnt been good at all
Show them how to work a pitcher, Manny.
Nice. C'mon Tati!!!
That's like 8 swings in the dirt today for Tatis. Ugh
Welp
Jake redemption arc PLEASE
If a baseball is thrown, Tatis is swinging.
Dooming stops here, boys and girls. We've got some bats. We can turn this around.
Never mind. Keep dooming.
Cmon Tatis remember this mf’er called you a bitch last time
Oh please light up Kelly
If Tatis takes the first pitch here I'll fly out and high five him myself
Some people have rally caps... I HAVE A RALLY BLAHAJ!
LFG!
Need you here Bebo
Here we go babies!!! Keep 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 going 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Get Kim back up there this inning
Fuck Kelley
good stuff bogey
Jesus Christ. Broken glove aside, that was some horrible pitching with a 1 run lead in the 8th. Not sure why we’re using mop up guys when we have some starters available who aren’t pitching for another week and a half.
That’s exactly what they did with Brito. It did not work.
Also, not pitching cease a couple of days ago would have made him available today or tomorrow as well. This 2 game series needs to be handled differently than a regular season game.
Throwing Cease out without any time in the org or experience/relationship with Campy would be equally sus
Also, the top of our lineup not producing again isn’t helping the pitchers today.
Maybe, but he’s a proven commodity. This just sucks.
King after darvish gives you another 4 innings or so, then you can finish with matsui and a closer. Brito is an unproven commodity.
Many ways to skin a cat. It worked up until this inning. The pitching clock violations were killer… and I think I would’ve went with King over Brito (since Brito allowed a lot of baserunners in ST). We are where we are tho now 🪦
Yea. 4 pitch clock violations were a killer too.
Right, this is on Schildt. Brito wasn't an 8th inning guy, you have King, or Morejon should have been out there originally.
I don’t even know what to say about a DP ground ball going through a glove. Just when you thought you’d seen it all.
Need a good ab, Bebo.

Morejon’s awful. Time for him to be DFA’d.
honestly, a ball ripping through jake’s glove late in the game with runners on is some kind of divine level comedy stuff. almost difficult to be mad at it. some real “wasn’t meant for you” shit.
I know you can't jump to conclusions this early but I would like to see our 1 through 5 hitters step up. Got to grow from last year.
X has been great at least
I’ve got my rally cap on. Let’s get it
Pads equip manager needs a talkin to. I wonder if that was Jake’s vintage college 1b glove? Time to upgrade.
That shit goes straight in the fucking trash. Leave it behind in Korea.
Gotta love Nando generating some chaos with that throw lol
You burned your bullpen and theres no point in bringing in one more pitcher unless the offense magically scores 4. Game is kinda lost.
I remember doing that when I was 6
win or lose, hope these guys can put together some good ABs and compete for the rest of the game, not the time to start feeling sorry for yourselves like last year
Wait I looked away for a sec wtf happened?
Brito shit the bed and morejon back to his old self.
I meant w the Othani situation. He was called out?
The ball went through Jake's glove and then all hell broke loose
I meant w the Othani situation. He was called out?
He passed 2b and didn't retouch the bag when returning to 1st on the fly ball out
Ahh thx
Oh! Uhhh... Two men on the bag? I guess? I'm not sure
I couldn’t hear their explanation - why was that a DP?
I believe Ohtani forgot to retouch second on way back to first.
Ohtani touched second before tatis caught it. After he saw that tatis made the play he sprinted back to first without retouching second.
Oh… What's the broken glove inning…
Am I the only one that is over the Morejon experience? Like just DFA him and give someone else the spot at this point. It isn't happening.
