This team is pathetic holy fuck

Jackson Merrill has the worst plate discipline I’ve ever seen oh my god

Duran facing three guys who swing at every single pitch, this will be fun

Merrill up next inning so you can pencil in that strikeout on a fastball up in the zone

Manny Machado has a wRC+ of 74 in high leverage since the start of 2023. It will be going down.

Has Manny Machado ever had a big hit?

Great ABs 👍

I blame the players but you cannot be a hitting coach overseeing the literal worst offense in franchise history while every guy regresses and strikes out at a higher rate and keep your job. Souza needs to go immediately.

It’s actually disgusting how pathetic this Padres offense is. These guys should be absolutely embarrassed to be this bad.

This offense is hilarious

The Padres currently have their worst batting average in FRANCHISE HISTORY

Gavin Sheets is the only returning Padre who hasn’t massively regressed offensively

Ramon Laureano’s 2025 season was very clearly a fluke and outlier. Dude is nothing more than a bench bat at this point.

Manny Machado is hitting .170 lmao

lmao

The Padres are currently batting .220 as a team……which is the worst in *franchise history*. They hit .226 in 2014 and .225 in their first year in 1969.

Goodnight

If Preller trades Ethan Salas to try and marginally improve this broken team I’m gonna lose it

The Padres are hitting .220 as a team lmao

‪You gotta send Merrill down at this point. Dude is an automatic strikeout. ‬

‪This is just the 2025 Padres all over again except even worse starting pitching and hitting, these guys will get swept even if they fluke their way into the playoffs ‬

Think the worst part is this Padres team feels unfixable. You’re completely stuck with all these contracts and if Tatis, Merrill, Machado, and Bogaerts all suck, you’re just done for. You can’t replace them.

The Padres approach at the plate of swinging at literally every single pitch while also having zero slug is genius

Average Jackson Merrill AB

They need to send Merrill down to AAA and call up Bowen. Dude swings at every single pitch and has zero clue what he’s doing.

Merrill is AWFUL

This is genuinely the most pathetic Padres offense I’ve ever seen oh my god these guys SUCK

LMFAOOOOO

Tatis, Bogaerts, Merrill, Machado, and Laureano all have an OPS under .700 lol

Can’t hit, can’t run the bases 👍

Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill are 11-for-99 (.111) combined in their last 15 games

$846 million combined btw

Tatis has zero HRs but he has a higher OPS than both Machado and Merrill now. They’ve all been so fucking pathetic.

Firing yet another hitting coach won’t solve shit but when you repeatedly get an F on an assignment, you fail the class. Souza needs to go even if it’s ultimately the fault of the players.

This offense is absolutely pathetic and somehow even worse than last year. You gotta fire Souza at this point even if he’s the sacrificial lamb. This is beyond absurd and unacceptable.

The 2026 Padres are hilarious, working with some devil’s magic here.

The Padres bullpen is clinical

The Padres had two hits and won again lmao what a hilarious season

2nd highest payroll in baseball and begging for Elias Diaz is crazy lol

The Reds signing Chris Paddack to pitch in one of the most hitter-friendly stadiums in the league was certainly a choice

PADRES WIN, DODGERS LOSE

GAVIN SHEETS IS HIM

BLOW IT OPEN

Three hits and three homers lmao

LAUREANOOOO

First place baby

NEVER A DOUBT

Gavin Sheets has an .892 OPS lmao

Sheets has flames coming off of him my goodness

Could have been worse!
