Why Mejía?
— Tony "As seen on TV" Lasoyo (@TonyLosoya89) August 21, 2019

Mejía is my boy and all, but holy shit those swings LMAOOOOOO
— Eric (No Longer Miserable) (@MiserableSDFan) August 21, 2019

Franky Mejia swings so violently, and so frequently at pitches out of the zone, I suspect he'll make a lot of pitchers look really good. He also has bat speed and bat-to-ball skills that can make them look very bad, too. https://t.co/k5vKTTXSga

Mejia looked like Soda Popinski when he misses a punch https://t.co/XKmF0MX0uE pic.twitter.com/0GKB4uKHZP

Also love hearing that AJ would *never* give a guy like Galvis a two-year deal for infield depth and veteran mentorship, especially with Tatis and Urías waiting in the wings, when Ian Kinsler exists.

Greg Garcia wins the Padres' 2019 off-the-scrapheap award. Past winners include K. Yates, B. Hand, F. Reyes. (I say Reyes qualifies, even though it was the Padres who put him on the scrapheap in the first place.)

Oh Joshy.

how excited i am about josh naylor's bat is inversely proportional to how excited i am by everything else he does on the field

Freddy, we get it. Calm down.

Friar Phil is going to be 🔥🔥🔥 today

Bullpen day has not gone very smoothly.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) August 21, 2019

Did you guys realize other teams just call up a starting pitcher to fill games like these? WEIRD!
— HJ Preller (@HJPreller) August 21, 2019

Turned on the game and Trey walks in 2 runs, and then Andy was playing air guitar in the dugout? pic.twitter.com/4me8p7pMRx

Thank god for Mud and Don, because this game isn’t all that enjoyable otherwise.
— chris, wrestling fan (@sportsbrain) August 21, 2019

urías elite
— kelly (@kellyawallace) August 21, 2019

Today's three-man, all-righty bench isn't very conducive to bullpen day and Luis Castillo.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) August 21, 2019

I want to see what Naylor can do after a winter working on his defense.
— Pog Lankford (@poglankford) August 21, 2019

Omg Wil
— chris, wrestling fan (@sportsbrain) August 21, 2019

Now this is Padresing.
— Pog Lankford (@poglankford) August 21, 2019

The Opener, only it's Hedges catching until he's replaced by Mejía before his first at-bat.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) August 21, 2019

It's no different than the Bud Black getaway day lineups. They basically punt these games, and it adds up.
— Fernando Tatis Jr Rememberer (@rich_roberts) August 21, 2019

It's almost as if relying on the worst part of your team to win a game is a bad idea.
— Tony "As seen on TV" Lasoyo (@TonyLosoya89) August 21, 2019

We need to be rid of both the practice and term "Johnny Wholestaff"
— David (@EgosAndDespair) August 21, 2019

Hunter is the new Wil. Wil is the same Wil.
— The Kept Faith (@thekeptfaith) August 21, 2019

If Tweezer Reprise gets you two Ks and a pop-up to end the game, it might be time to take a serious look at this offense.
