Ron Kulpa made another game about him. He's got a history of getting attention for the wrong reasons as an umpire.

I feel like we've talked about the team having issues with the running game for a few seasons now. The Diamondbacks exploited that weakness to great effect in the 8th.

Dahl has to catch that ball. Those are the main takeaways from the game to me.

I have to find a way to watch the four upcoming in Atl.

Was going to go...but the trip to Peoria wiped me out financially and for time off atm.

I'm 300 miles away from Atlanta...but still blacked out.Guess they expect me to buy season tix and drive back and forth?

Ridiculous...it should be done by distance if anything....not just because I live in the same state.

I don't have regular Cable so don't get Fox sports south...gonna have to find some stream to watch.

 

Its only 3 games for you, its all 13 for me against the DBacks.

Get a clue MLB! Take over all the broadcasts and make them all available to everyone. Will only boost your fandom.

Four...but yes.

On the other hand....you could actually go to the games in Arizona.

I'd have to drive 6 hours and get a hotel room and miss days of work to go to Atlanta.

 

Dang Mr P...I know when I'm in Georgia at my second home up in Blairsville it's about 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive to Atlanta depending weather I go through Blue Ridge or Dahlonega to catch a Braves game so either you are way south on the Georgia/Florida line (Valdosta) or east towards Savannah, I'm just guessing of course but either way it's a long drive so you get the Out of State Padre Fan Award.

Go Pads !!!

I’m as far South  and as far East as you can go and still be in Ga.

St Marys.

Kings Bay Submarine Base…..my Fathers last station.

Going to retire in a few years to the N Ga mountains…..Blairsville is an option.

Anywhere quiet,peaceful,less hot and humid and with a view!

Was an ugly finish.

Yu needs to do a better job holding runners….everyone in the stadium or watching from home knew Thomas was running on that pitch.

Boy do we need Suarez back…..

Just saw the replay.

Machado needs to keep his head straight. He can't get kicked out there.

I don't know anything about that ump but in this case Manny was in the wrong. Our team leader needs to be better than that.

I hate games against AZ because I can not watch the games live. Due to not having local cable and MLB blackouts, I have to follow along on gameday, and then wait for video highlights.

Nice game by Weathers. Great AB by Dahl, and Kim crushed that pitch, a no doubter. Take the series today guys, it will make for a better flight!

I live on Orange County and watch when the Pads play the Dodgers and Angels on MLBtv via VPN on FireStick.

He was in the right until he said "the magic word".

It's OK to disagree and voice it...just don't go to far and get ejected.

While Cruz hit a HR as his replacement there's no telling what Manny may have done with 4 more AB's

Manny definitely deserves some of the blame. That wasn't the only incident in the game though. I thought Kulpa was a little over the top with Crismatt too. Don and Mud were making fun of him a little bit when he yelled something about how he would run his game at some point. I also saw a bunch of clips resurface of similar incidents of his. He just seems like a guy who takes things too personally and can't keep his ego in check as an umpire.

Clearly the BP issues have to be dealt with.  Crismatt is a liability, we have Honeywell as a long man.  Time to replace Crismatt.

I think we have better arms in AAA than Crismatt ..he has a solid track record BUT his stuff needs him to be pinpoint perfect to succeed... where someone like Lugo/Felipe/Groome(if we want/need a multiple inning replacement) /Cosgrove and others have better stuff, unproven but better.. That and with a 5-1 lead there is no need to Nibble .. no BBs.. sure Dahl should have had an out.. and game/inning would have turned out different for all.. BUT we can't put ourselves in that situation..

Wilson/Hill/Hader are the only relievers I fully trust

Garcia we know will have 2 or 3 meltdowns (this was one) but still be nails 90% of the time

Honeywell ..so far so good.. not 100% trust in him yet..but a few more ++ outings will get me there

Tapia will run hot and cold but has stuff to burn and if he gives us 70% good outings 30% bad I can live with that..

Crismatt days are numbered.. perhaps even as soon as Musgrove's return.. I rather give Weathers that role
