First chance after a day off and he boots it. Fuck Hosmer. Bench his sorry ass for eternity
— N. Z. (@Taterz1021) September 5, 2021

Oh hell yes. Hos highlight in the first inning.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) September 5, 2021

Hosmer is already Hosmer-ing
— Kristen ?? (@Still_HB) September 5, 2021

That Hosmer play was so predictable.
— Geoff: Shark Family Patriarch (Do do do dododo) (@LeftCoastBias) September 5, 2021

Cronenworth gets an error. Just fucking incredible.
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) September 5, 2021

Paddack’s gotten three outs this inning after Altuve’s double and only has one out to show for it. Sick.
— rich (@rich_roberts) September 5, 2021

Great job by Paddack to navigate the absolute dipshittery around him
— woods (@thestevenwoods) September 5, 2021

1st half Paddack falls apart during that inning. Nice to see him limit the damage.
— Geoff: Shark Family Patriarch (Do do do dododo) (@LeftCoastBias) September 5, 2021

Do it Wil, because the sorry ass behind you won’t.
— N. Z. (@Taterz1021) September 5, 2021

Solid productive at bat from Myers. I’ll take it.
— Ryan Phillips (@RumorsandRants) September 5, 2021

Alright I’m sold. Bring tatis back to the infield. Say, first base.
— N. Z. (@Taterz1021) September 5, 2021

It’s almost like he’s a shortstop
— Sam Neher (@SamNeher24) September 5, 2021

*you know, where he was an All-Star and whatnot?
OK, on to B2.
— Bernie Wilson (@berniewilson) September 5, 2021

Meanwhile, Manny Machado is working the hot corner like a boss.#padres
— Bernie Wilson (@berniewilson) September 5, 2021

One of many reasons I'm not athlete: The Padres broadcast showed Machado shifted into right field and I thought "Wow that is *such* a long walk back to third base"
— Michael Baumann (@MichaelBaumann) September 5, 2021

Manny's going to steal a home run at some point
— David (parody) (@DefiniteExpert) September 5, 2021

In that inning, Manny Machado had a putout in the right-field corner and an assist at third base. #padres
— Bernie Wilson (@berniewilson) September 5, 2021

Caratini is bad – but much like Annie Savoy I can really only concentrate on one player each season.
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) September 5, 2021

God damn that is an extremely efficient and terrific five innings from Chris Paddack. Pitch to contact, get weak outs, work from ahead in the count. This shit rocks, dude. Do this more often.
— rich (@rich_roberts) September 5, 2021

I'm loving this Chris Paddack. Hopefully he stays around for a long time
— Tony *good vibes but ironically* Losoya (@AnthonyLosoya) September 5, 2021

Chris "no true outcomes" Paddack is through six innings without a walk, strikeout or home run on his ledger. He'd become the first Padre since Mark Thurmond in 1985 to record such a line in a start of at least six innings. (Randy Jones did that three times.)
— AJ Cassavell (@AJCassavell) September 5, 2021

Sounds right pic.twitter.com/hMIYSyzEqz
— Matt Cook (@BeeringWithCook) September 5, 2021

If that throw wasn't perfect he would have been safe. Nice play by the catcher
— Mike (@sdmike) September 5, 2021

As opposed to smarties like earlier in the year. Yes, get it
— the bum’s days are numbered (@thalia_m1) September 5, 2021

Paddack also won't go 6 1/3 after allowing two HR to open the seventh … but I don't get pulling him then, rather than to start the inning. 7-8-P coming up.
— keithlaw (@keithlaw) September 5, 2021

Um, that's not good. pic.twitter.com/uGPAKWoTRW
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) September 5, 2021

Excellent managerial decision from our skipper. Also improves the defense in a tight game.
— Corey Stewart (@CoreyAStewart) September 5, 2021

Pagan in. Buckle up.
— N. Z. (@Taterz1021) September 5, 2021

Tommy is swinging with one hand essentially
— Brian (@monkigrass) September 5, 2021

They…don't exist?
— David (parody) (@DefiniteExpert) September 5, 2021

Melancon better start finding the plate. Ugly so far.
— Ryan Phillips (@RumorsandRants) September 5, 2021

Y’all crying now astros announcers. Not funny now huh?
— Brian (@monkigrass) September 5, 2021

JOE WEST!!!
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) September 5, 2021

I love Joe West!
— William, washing kegs again (@LybargerBrewery) September 5, 2021

Thank you Joe West
— David (parody) (@DefiniteExpert) September 5, 2021

We love Joe West atm
— the bum’s days are numbered (@thalia_m1) September 5, 2021

I mean I'll take it but Joe West is awful.
— Ryan Phillips (@RumorsandRants) September 5, 2021

CRONE ZONE FTW!!!!!
— Ryan Phillips (@RumorsandRants) September 5, 2021

Walk Off Crone Zone!!!!!!
— N. Z. (@Taterz1021) September 5, 2021

oh my god did Stanek hang that pitch
