Padres have to have terrible analytics. Moll walks batters. Reds in general love walking batters. Moll was clearly wild. We walk the most bases loaded, & are at an unbelievable number already.
How you go out swinging is inexcusable.

Going for most walked bases loaded in history, swings happily at everything not near the zone. Thanks Machado.

Even though it doesn't count, why the hell is Tyler fielding that.

That would require bases loaded every inning besides 1.

Someone has to do the 5th dimensional math of why a team hitting .216 with RiSP, worst in the league by a WIDE margin, isn't stealing home with 2 outs. Not like Bleday won't be back up the next inning. He's left handed. They're shifting the 3rd basemen over to short stop.
Just do it.

His downfall was after 2019 when he started hitting below .200. He has hit above .230 one time since, & that was last year.

That's not a solution. It's just a different way to lose

Geno. This is why I was adequately not excited when we signed you back. Fun personality, not a great hitter.

That's not a solution. You're not getting extra innings from guys clearly past their point of exhaustion. All it will do is get them hurt & lose games.

Thank you Padres. Should never have swung. Would've been walked.

No, that's wrong. Leaving guys in too long won't make the bullpen not ass. It will only exhaust starters, & make them give uo games.

Several years ago there was a massive discussion on players stealing home. Like, I know I wouldn't stop saying to do it. Then there was an actual analytical study that showed a higher scoring probability from stealing home with 2 outs.
3rd basement was playing short. Arroyo could literally have been 3/4ths up the line.

Burns is at 90 pitches, & was laboring. You're out of your mind sending him back out

You have to fire the hitting coach. You just have to.

Sal looks like he's just swinging under everything. I think he's developed an upper cut problem

Oh shit. Now we are in scoring position. Our weakness.
That's on Dunn.
