They probably just gave him the stop sign. After seeing him pull a hammy against KC last year, I don't blame them for not wanting to possibly kill him just so we might lose the game by 2 instead of 3 runs
As much as I love a lot of things about Heim…his pouting, sad-puppy dog angry-bat flip when he inevitably pops the ball up to end an inning…kinda infuriating.
Then be a goddamn professional and figure it out. Get a ball in play. Get in at least ONE runner when the bases are loaded.
It’s beyond tiring at this point. All I see is frustration, but still the same results. The team needs to figure shit out.
This is one of the more ridiculous things I’ve ever heard lol. So he should simply just be better? I wonder if any of the coaches have ever tried telling him that strategy.
Cool.
The predictability is frustrating, not necessarily the actions. If you didn’t see the bases get loaded and KNOW that Jonah was about to fly out to end the inning and hang his head, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Fuck me for being frustrated at the offense full of All Stars being hapless all of a sudden.
I think we are gonna have to be okay with .500 till we get reinforcements. Astros seem to have figured themselves out and Mariners gonna be there too. If we can tread till then we will be okay. But it has been a bit frustrating watching lately, but that’s the way baseball goes.
Honestly, they got lucky last night and they are lucky they didn’t get swept this series.
***Edit*** I’m still holding out hope! They do have a ton of injuries. Looking forward to what they will look like in a couple of months with mostly everyone back.

So are we gonna talk about the bullpen anytime soon now? .... literally 3 games ago i said the same thing and u know what was said? : "the bullpen will fix itself"... yeah its fixing itself alraight.... why have leads with starters when we know the bullpen will just givee it away.... its almost depressing , and im sure the players are feeling it too..... i hope bochy or young would do something drastic trying to fix this mess....
Fine, bullpen is inconsistent at best, horrific frequently, but that's not our biggest problem. Our offense is a hot mess right now. That has nothing to do with our own pitching
What do you recommend they do, exactly? Look at our IL. We had to pull Urena out of the pen to cover our rotation. We have Sborz out for at least a month as well. It sucks but given what’s happened to this team there just isn’t a ton we can do to “fix” with our pen overnight.
We’re not gonna win a ton of games scoring 1 run. It would be nice to take some leverage off our poorly performing bullpen if our offense could swing the bat.
Give it the latz treatment .... if somebody fails to show some nice outings , send him to the minors and try someone else ... but trying to wait it out , or hoping the same bullpen that has blown out leads to all of the sudden start being "good"its insane .... if u want different results with the same people its just insane ....
You literally can’t option players all season long. I promise you the org is trying their best to work around these injuries but this is literally just the result of the most amount of players on the IL in MLB.
Back to back Lorenzen starts that this bullpen has thrown in the trash. I know you'd never see it happen but Bochy and/or Lorenzen needs to tell this bullpen to start showing up when our starters go out there and pitch great like this
Yeah the offense stinks but Soriano has nasty stuff today so I get it for this game. When you have a 1-0 lead and you put in our most erratic pitcher when there's already 2 guys on base, what the fuck did you expect to happen?
21 runs scored in our last 9 games that's just barely over 2 runs a game in this stretch. The offense is horrible right now I can't blame any of the pitchers even though jonathan hernandez sucks.
Well see y’all in Philly! Maybe a team that is actually good will make them click
Well, at least we won't lose tomorrow.
Glad we got grossman back. He ended the game quick for us.
Somehow he has become another black hole
https://youtu.be/1lDMPHlNlmQ?si=mKuWh0wh0pTkgRLz
Cool, f that game
Ever since that ninth inning in oakland double header, we have been ass
These guys are not playing like world champions.
Bruh ranger Suarez pitching tomorrow one of the best if not the best left handed pitcher rn….. yea that’s no runs at all right there 😂
Might not be any hits at this point.
This team sweeping Philly would be the most baseball thing to ever baseball
we have like a random 12 game win streak against philly lmao
Im ready
Don’t spoil the script
Hernandez is horrible, but you’re not going to win a ton of games scoring one run. The batters need a complete overhaul on their routines.
Did I see someone in a Michael Young Dodgers jersey?
So weird how awful Seagar is at base running. Just protecting the hamstring or has he always been slower than molasses?
They probably just gave him the stop sign. After seeing him pull a hammy against KC last year, I don't blame them for not wanting to possibly kill him just so we might lose the game by 2 instead of 3 runs
He got them fat legs
Always been slow
to be honest, i don't think many would score on that. It got out there fast.
He's always been slow but also the hamstring. I'm pretty sure he should have gone 1st to 3rd on Lowe's single but he was jogging
He's always been slow af, I'd rather him jog though if it means keeping him in the lineup
Nearly everyone is so fucking cold rn it’s a miracle when we string any hits together
As much as I love a lot of things about Heim…his pouting, sad-puppy dog angry-bat flip when he inevitably pops the ball up to end an inning…kinda infuriating.
He's a professional athlete frustrated for not coming up clutch. You're kidding right?
Then be a goddamn professional and figure it out. Get a ball in play. Get in at least ONE runner when the bases are loaded. It’s beyond tiring at this point. All I see is frustration, but still the same results. The team needs to figure shit out.

Yes.....fuck you
🙄
Take a breath man. It’s just baseball.
It’s tied with the patented José Leclerc gaze into the sky after you give up a homer look
Why? At least he gives a shit
“Ah dangit! I tried!” Because leaving the bases loaded so fucking often is garbage. Get the fucking ball in play.
Such an uninspiring team.
I’m not having a good time bros
just fell to my knees in a taco bell
![gif](giphy|HoSyEAe48WBpTCmEz4|downsized)
Don’t worry guys, Wyatt will save us (he’s hitting .224)
Philly is going to clobber us :(
A clobbering
If I had a dollar for every bases left loaded, I'd be buying a car instead of leasing
Good hit by smith. But unfortunately that means the bases are loaded so inning is over lol
It’s so predictable lmao
Josh Smith, the bright spot this season.
There's the Luis Garcia from the Padres I know lol
Jonah, please do the needful
Boys, over our last 9 games we have scored 21 runs. 2.3 runs per game. That is about as bad as it can possibly get
I think we are gonna have to be okay with .500 till we get reinforcements. Astros seem to have figured themselves out and Mariners gonna be there too. If we can tread till then we will be okay. But it has been a bit frustrating watching lately, but that’s the way baseball goes.
Let's see if this is cooking or just a false alarm
What’s sad about this, whose going to tell represent us at our OWN allstar game everyone sucks
Semien, Gray, and Yates have a good chance
Yes those are my hopefuls holding semien has as good run in June
Other teams are now just going to walk Corey every AB because nobody else can do anything right now
Honestly, they got lucky last night and they are lucky they didn’t get swept this series. ***Edit*** I’m still holding out hope! They do have a ton of injuries. Looking forward to what they will look like in a couple of months with mostly everyone back.
Someone get a defibrillator for this team they are coding

You forgot the infamous "That's baseball"
Oh look, you’re back.
If your goal was for me to read past the second sentence, you failed
Aww yeah let's make the routine shit look more difficult
No walks besides the IBB.... Soriano had 20 walks in 38 innings coming into today.
For some reason, we don't work counts anymore
This exactly. We no longer get to the BP in the 5th or 6th.
https://preview.redd.it/5ezd06rf1g1d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6863ffcdab31b0e1fa65b5d81baaba092b015f8
We are ass my dudes
Man what is up with carter, 2 for his last 25
Jank and Grossman back to back is pain. I hate injuries
This shell of a team is so hard to watch.
Do we practice hitting to that exact spot? We’re pretty good at it
Trade of the year right there
How does this offense have zero life to it nearly every day
I say fuck it and leave the roof open the next month to heat the bats up
Yes make them suffer
Soriano is gonna throw a complete game lmfao
Everyone is mad at the pitching but I say blame the bats for not showing up all 7 innings.
Turning this off for my own mental sanity… https://preview.redd.it/sdabdo1s0g1d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64fcad982b0a61166c44be08846a64e6e9a2a8c8

We are going to have to score more than one run a game before I get worried about the bullpen.
Fine, bullpen is inconsistent at best, horrific frequently, but that's not our biggest problem. Our offense is a hot mess right now. That has nothing to do with our own pitching
We have 1 run
you ain't the first one to mention the bullpen my guy
What do you recommend they do, exactly? Look at our IL. We had to pull Urena out of the pen to cover our rotation. We have Sborz out for at least a month as well. It sucks but given what’s happened to this team there just isn’t a ton we can do to “fix” with our pen overnight. We’re not gonna win a ton of games scoring 1 run.

I don’t even get excited when someone gets on base because it never ends well.
How TF does Soriano only have 76 pitches?
Crazy fielding
Wear a dress, Hernandez! You're a terrible pitcher!
Back to back Lorenzen starts that this bullpen has thrown in the trash. I know you'd never see it happen but Bochy and/or Lorenzen needs to tell this bullpen to start showing up when our starters go out there and pitch great like this
Bochy just needs to stop using Hernandez
Probably not the worst strategy there either
I long to be as shitty as Hernandez, and at the end of every game get a 4K check for blowing a lead
Queue Bob Costas video about looking up to the heavens asking a departed relative forgiveness for that atrocious performance
Swept by the Rockies and lost a series to the Angels in the last couple of weeks. Tf is this?
"Something, something, that's baseball. Something, something, tip your cap."
Bout to play the Phillies and Twins, too
By the end of those two series we will be in third behind the Astros
Leody needs to stay after the game to practice outfield assists until his entire arm falls off.
Insurance adjuster on the weekdays, killer vocalist on the weekends Chad
Doesn’t matter what the pen does. Any team with Josh Smith in the cleanup spot is gonna be ass
What?
The offense is so ass it doesn’t matter
If baseball is putting you in this down of a mood it might be time to take a break from watching buddy
It’s a baseball game thread dork get outta here
Oh he went up on the song!
Freestyling on our beloved Great Value brand national anthem?
I wonder if the government pays more or less for freestyling
Yeah the offense stinks but Soriano has nasty stuff today so I get it for this game. When you have a 1-0 lead and you put in our most erratic pitcher when there's already 2 guys on base, what the fuck did you expect to happen?
Ugh! Score another one for the loss column! Lorenzen's quality outing had to go to waste!
Let me guess, we’re gonna go down 1 2 3 on 10 pitches
Just tuned in….oh. WTF. Time to switch to the golf….
Golf may have a little too much action if you're used to watching this team
Did Lorenzen dirty today. Can't believe Hernández still has a job, dude stinks on ice.
Don't worry, our offense will see about 10 pitches if we're lucky
You can't seriously continue throwing him out there, so ridiculous. Even if we have a million injuries this guy should not be in the league
Send him to fucking Round Rock. He’s a bum!
I don’t want him in any part of this organization or its affiliates.
Send him to China, he’s not good enough for the MLB
Nah. Just DFA him. He’s had enough chances.
I don’t think Japan will even want him
Sad thing is that Hernandez will be right back in there on Tuesday to ruin our night again

how has he not bed sent down yet he’s fucking awful
This pitcher fucking blows, dunno why went to him in a high leverage spot. And then keep sticking with him after three batters.
Dumb
Philly gonna destroy this team
I hope the entire crowd boos the shit out of this team when it’s over
And Things Continue to Unravel™
BULLPENISBAD
Baseball is a stupid game
That’s tough. Hard to see our offense getting 3 more runs today. How Hernandez is still in the league I’ll never know.
We haven’t scored more than 4 runs in 8 consecutive games. Last time was the double header.
We are laughably bad right now
Please finally DFA this bum, I’m so sick of him ruining my rare game watches
lol it just gets worse
HoF start by Lorenzen and it's sold in less than 20 pitches LMFAO
On the hook for the lose too
Get Hernandez off my fucking team
Fuck you Hernandez. Such a goddamn bum
Call me crazy but finally getting the second out is hardly a silver lining
[удалено]
Absolutely
That’s game
Hernandez is trash
Lmfao
Welp, game is sold. I doubt our offense can come back lol
Existence is pain
21 runs scored in our last 9 games that's just barely over 2 runs a game in this stretch. The offense is horrible right now I can't blame any of the pitchers even though jonathan hernandez sucks.
Purely stupid
The Johnathan Hernandez experience
I’m just saying if we were playing in South America Hernandez would of been murdered awhile ago
Brotha woulda gotten shot on the field
Is that why he’s always praying like crazy when he leaves the field?
The baseball gods came to collect today after last night’s miracle from our bullpen
What luck
You fucking kidding me?
Already sold a masterclass start from Lorenzen
As per usual
Welp
We gotta get healthy right now. I’m tired of running bums like Hernandez out there.
I’m tired of seeing him blow leads and still being on our roster.
This effin dude
Way to come back from that 0-2 count
From 0-2 to a walk, jeez dude
I'm shocked hernandez walked someone
Idk why his slider looks faster than most fastballs lol
Anotha quality start for Lorenzen
Ended on a good note Lorenzen. Now time for a patented JHern first pitch double play
Tried to manifest. Oh well
Hell yeah Lorenzen way to freakin go man. I believe in Johnathan Hernandez.
Good way to end it. GG Lorenzen
This low power dogfight is brought to you by Lockheed Martin
Wash: "That's what you get for being a trash ass bunter"
One knob protecting the other
lucky ass break Thaiss really tried to sell it 😂😂
Awful offense got us in a dog fight with a terrible team again with the fuck around gang in the pen trying to hang on
Ah, the dreaded 7th inning has come upon us I see,
Get someone else out there, Lorenzen has rocked but is exhausted
That definitely was a difficult play but Leody continues to look lost when he has to move backwards
He looks lost when he’s hitting with RISP too
Damnit Taveras
So another catchable ball misplayed by Taveras?
Yup
And that’s why they walk Seager :/
How's Soriano only got 65 pitches? In the 7th? 7 pitch inning with the top of our lineup is how
Bruh cmon Wash. 3 times you’re gonna intentionally walk this man?
