That's what they get paid to do but it seems all they do lately is to come up small.

Given the Padres' historical futility as a franchise I'd like to root for them but douchebags like Tatis and Machado make that difficult.

Wouldn't you know that Arcia would get a hit in, hopefully, his last Braves at bat?

Wouldn't that put him in the left handed batter's box?

My Braves fandom goes back to Milwaukee. My Dad was stationed at an Air Force Base up there and he was a huge fan of the Spahn, Burdette, Aaron, Matthews teams and he passed that loyalty down to me. Frankly, I remember very little of the details except how much Dad liked the Milwaukee Braves...

A very poor man's.

Padres are one of five MLB teams that've never won a WS. Maybe this is their year.

We're done. Won't be able to watch sports for awhile. What's on Hallmark right now?

Don't you have to be able to punch to have a "puncher's chance?"

At least this monstrosity will be over in slightly more than two hours.

For the most part, our pitchers seem to have shown up and gutted it out. Our offense is beyond putrid.

Ozuna has struck out three times tonight on pitches about a foot above the ground.

Per Enscheff's observations, watching Albies setup at the plate, if he were a golfer, he'd be slicing the crap out of the ball--which, IIRC, is a direct correlation to pulling a pitch in baseball.

Here's a trivia distraction in the middle of a game we're probably going to lose: what was Martin Luther King's birth name? Don't bother looking it up if you don't know; it was Michael King. (Probably no relationship to the Padres' pitcher.) Now back to our regularly scheduled misery.

Jesse gets 'em 1-2-3. Maybe the jet lag is actually helping him?

Not sure of the protocol but given Tatis extreme pimping of his homer, should he expect to be "dusted?"

Unless he feels the bats can get to king...which would be Snit if he thinks that. (FIFY)

At least AJSS is starting the innings strong.

An inauspicious start, to be sure.
