Paddack and Clevinger doing that hold my beer thing.

I appreciate Mike Clevinger challenging the Padres offense as well as the capacity of my beer fridge right off the bat.

I'd rather games not start like that, just saying.
— David, Slam Enthusiast (@DefiniteExpert) September 9, 2020

Let Clev work it out. We're basically a postseason lock and seeding probably doesn't matter.

down 3-0 in the first and it still feels like the Padres are going to roll over the Rockies tonight

I swear to god these sorry ass umpires think to themselves, “well I haven’t called a strike lately and that’s close enough so strrrrrike 1!”

Would be very interested to know how often the first hit of the game for a team was a grand slam.

That inning was fun as hell. Now Clev's gotta go out and earn that victory sesh with Tony Hawk.

Am I the only one that has difficulty watching Clevinger pitch? I get all twitchy. #padres

took Clevinger an inning to find the ace mojo but now he's spotting 97-98 mph fastballs and sliders on the black
— Sac Bunt Dustin (@sacbuntdustin) September 9, 2020

From the Been There, Done That dept. . . . Chi Chi Gonzalez may feel badly about giving up 4 runs in 0.1 IP on 0 hits, but how about Lefty Weinert who gave up 6 runs on 0 hits in 0.1 IP June 24, 1923 for the Phillies.
— Bob Wehrsdorfer (@ChyronBob) September 9, 2020

Mike Clevinger "enjoyed" a grand total of eight runs of support in his first four starts with the #Indians this year. He's got 11 (and counting) in the third inning tonight.
— Jeff Sanders (@sdutSanders) September 9, 2020

The last time the Padres scored 5+ runs in consecutive innings was May 2, 2019, in Atlanta.

If Wil Myers hits a cycle tonight it will erase Kemp’s cycle. #TrueFact

Austin Nola and Jason Castro have been Padres for a week. They already have as many extra-base hits as Austin Hedges and Francisco Mejía.
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) September 9, 2020

Weird to see Arenado cleanly field a ground ball
— padres haiku (@padreshaiku) September 9, 2020

Rockies have pitched in quite a bit this series. Don’t like it!

— chris, wrestling fan (@sportsbrain) September 9, 2020

I really don’t see the benefit to giving up more runs.
— PadreHomer (@PadreHomer) September 9, 2020

Arenado wishes he could pull that off

wow FSSD playing dua for our beloved @CoreyAStewart, we know whose side they’re on in the skraby wars

Morejon’s knuckle-change is basically thrown the way we all tried to throw knuckleballs when we were 10. We didn’t have 98 mph fastballs though.
