That line-up surely looks capable of putting up runs.
How's Samad Taylor doing?

UNBELIEVABLE!
Hart was the wrong guy to bring in. Stammen should either have left in Miller or bring in Matsui or pull Hart after 3 batters.
I knew when Hart was brought in the Padres would lose. Hart is no good. I call this mismanagement by Stammen.
The Padres need to take the next two.

I'll take Matsui over Hart too, but I can't be too upset with Hart's performance. It was a bloop single, an infield single, a bunt single, and a jam shot that would have been straight at Bogaerts if he wasn't holding the runner at 2nd. It was just shitty luck with soft contact and defensive positioning. Nothing was hit hard. I'm more upset by our 2-5 hitters combining to go 1-17 and Bogaerts double clutching and throwing that ball away.

Read that Pads might try to package Xander with Miller just to be done with him.
It would obviously be wasting any value Miller might have but getting rid of Bogaerts MUST be job number 1.
Guy just isn't very good.
