Padres demonstrating that a memorial patch doesn't have to be on the sleeve.

Who is PS?

The team’s late owner Peter Seidler.

This J D Martinez guy is pretty swell.

[kcmets]

"Sausage, peppers and sleeve!" - GKR, on it!

[kcmets]

Ok, I'll leave. Carry on amongst yourselves...

Hooking Manaea after 90 pitches.

I approve not.

[Edgy MD]

Thanks for wearing those silly oven mitts and sliding like a dork, Arráez.

I think that among the new baseball unis of the last few years, the Padres are the nicest. Wanna know what other new uni I'm really liking a lot? Youse are gonna hate this. The new Yankees road unis. They removed the white trim from the "New York" wording on the front of the road shirts and those jerseys now look awesome. Awesome, I said.

[Edgy MD]

Thanks for slackin', Manny Machado.

[Edgy MD]

The Diekman move isn't looking too inspired.

[kcmets]

Time to stretch...

[Edgy MD]

Time to stretch...

Brilliant.

Reid-Foley for the eighth. They're not planning on going right back to Diaz, are they?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I would stick with Reid-Foley.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Need a 6 run inning here or else

[Edgy MD]

Good time here for a Nimmo stolen base, especially after the catcher took a tumble.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Fasten your seat belts!

[Edgy MD]

Fasten your seat belts!

Onto your butts you must hold.

[Edgy MD]

Not seeing any horizontal movement in the slider yet, ... and there's the first baserunner.

[Edgy MD]

Tight, tight, tight.

[Edgy MD]

FUCK TO THE YEAH!!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I never entertained a doubt.

McNeil had to go a long way for that grounder, and that kept the tying run from scoring.

[Fman99]

The last two strikes were both swings on bad pitches so he had some help. But we'll take it. Hopefully it helps to right him mentally. He had the good stuff. He's just got to get out of his own head.

[Edgy MD]

Getting folks to chase that slider has long been a big part of his game, though.

Fortunately, San Diego doesn't adhere to the "Don't swing 'til you gotta" ethic.

Mets gain in the Wild Card standings on the Cubs (who they sit a game behind — go Cards!), the Giants (who drop out of a tie for the third spot), and of course the Pads.

They should have gained on more teams, but there's a lot of inter-league play going on, and the National League is suddenly good at that.
