This is one of the worst umpiring behind the plate performances I have ever seen. Victimizing both sides evenly, but pathetic call after call.  Oh yeah, it's Joe West.

I would have been fine with 2 out of 3......then we went up 6-0

Then I saw everyone else in the NL West was losing.

Suddenly 2 of 3 isn’t good enough!

And to think that we signed him for two years, did not expect a lot out of him, but is getting ridicoulus

Saw a comment by Kevin Acee (not always reliable but covers the Padres for the SDUT) ... his pure speculation or was there some basis from noise from the Padres? Simply Kinsler may be in his last days with the Padres ... his offensive production is THAT bad and apparently they may be willing to eat the 2 year guaranteed contract.

Padres do want to win .... Garcia is "serviceable" at 2B with more offense and a LHH .... France can fill in an emergency and has shown he can make ML contact and work the count .... Urias is on track for a return (crushing it in the PCL ... albeit in EP and LV) and not sure he really is "developing" any more in AAA. Team needs offense, could make sense. When the Padres return on May 3rd?

Since he was signed before Machado and before the Padres had any sense of Tatis (or really Urias) making the early season roster ... probably a necessary gamble on his at least repeating his 2018 .... just has not turned out that way.

I cant wait for the Lauer and Luchessi's to be gone, and the Gore's and company to be up, it will be nice to have real talent at the top of our starting rotation for once

Well I could see Gore being up early (or to begin) next season if he pitches to his reputation this season ... likely 10 starts in LE then finish the season in AA.

That is sort of the quick rise approach for Paddack, Lauer, Lucchesi, and Margevicius to the ML. None saw AAA and only very limited AA. They were older but not really better plus with only a half season in AA a 20 year old Tatis made the opening day roster.

Richards - Strahm (L) - Paddack - Gore (L) has the potential to be quite an effective starting 4 then a ton of candidates to rise for that #5 slot:

Incumbents: Lauer; Lucchesi; Margevicus;

Injured rebound: Lamet;

Prospects (close): Allen (L); Quantrill;

Prospects (surprise jumps): Morejon (L); Patino; .........

No pre-judgements .... but a lot of players to rise to the top.

I just hope they give Urias a couple more weeks or so at AAA, let him taste a little bit more of the succes he is having and come back with more confidence

He did the splits trying to field a pick off throw at 2b,

”Full” splits.

My guess is he isn’t hurt bad.
