Chipper Jones is the color analyst on the ESPN broadcast. Nope.

Here for the baseball game.

Reall good matchup of Top 100 prospect pitchers today in San Diego. Brusdar Graterol vs. Adrian Morejon.

Both may not pitch very long, but still a fun matchup of young flamethrowers.
— Kyle Glaser (@KyleAGlaser) September 16, 2020

good to see that max muncy has turned back into a frog
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) September 16, 2020

Tatis will break out if this slump by hitting a home run this inning and cartwheeling into home plate in an aggro way. Book it
— Sam Neher (@SamNeher24) September 16, 2020

Thinking about how the Red Sox didn't like Brusdar's medicals in the Mookie Betts trade so here we are. Thanks, Boston.

Graterol sounds like something Putin uses to poison his dissidents.
— padres haiku (@padreshaiku) September 16, 2020

Jinxed him. ? https://t.co/oQ0r0JU7ZN

Someone in the dodgers dugout got really excited about that fly ball by Chris Taylor.
— woods (@thestevenwoods) September 16, 2020

Stay hot, Mr. Myers.
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) September 16, 2020

A CATCHER THAT CAN HIT WOW
— Danny Ortiz (@5point5Dan) September 16, 2020

Padres have drawn more walks this inning than they did in the first two games of this series combined.
— jesse agler (@jesseagler) September 16, 2020

That’s why you don’t give him a day off.
— Beto GurmiSLAM (@BetoGurmilan) September 16, 2020

I thought Castro was the good defensive catcher?

Morejón to Altavilla to Lucchesi through 2 ⅔ isn't the way I wanted today to go.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) September 16, 2020

Good thing Tingler took out Morejon.
— Sean D (@WonkoSD) September 16, 2020

Between the pitcher usage and the day game, I keep having to remember this is not a 7 inning game.
— Geoff: Shark Family Patriarch (Do do do dododo) (@LeftCoastBias) September 16, 2020

The Padres pitching staff as a group just straight up cannot field the position. Can't do it.
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) September 16, 2020

Dustin May just screamed a word that @BenHigginsSD has never said. I’m shaking right now
— woods (@thestevenwoods) September 16, 2020

my daughter saw dustin may and now she's crying and refuses to go back on her zoom classroom
— mensrea (@CalvesForDays) September 16, 2020

Padres are running out Dump Truck Dan and Joey Lucchesi during a bullpen game while the Dodgers send Brusdar and Waluigi out to throw 100 mph sinkers. Very cool. We're having a great time.
— rich ? (@rich_roberts) September 16, 2020

Thank god the Pads are hacking early in the count this entire series. I was nervous that they might stick with what has worked for them all season up to this point.
— Eric (No Longer Miserable) (@MiserableSDFan) September 16, 2020

Sheesh…clean it up, boys
— woods (@thestevenwoods) September 16, 2020

embarrassing, at this point
— Greg Weeks (@GregWeeksCLT) September 16, 2020

New math: The Padres apparently plan to give Mookie Betts two bases for every one. Sometimes more.
— Bryce Miller (@Bryce_A_Miller) September 16, 2020

It’s like someone replaced the 2020 #Padres with the 2011-2019 version
— Beto GurmiSLAM (@BetoGurmilan) September 16, 2020

Bullpen days suck.
— Pizza On A Bagel (@PadresOnABagel) September 16, 2020

And that’s likely the KO punch that ends any hope of the Padres winning the west
— Brandon Wright-Rowan (@BW_DCXIX) September 16, 2020

I’m never gong to be too confident in a game where we use Joey Luchessi and Luis Perdomo. I’m trying to be polite.
— AJM (@AvengingJM) September 16, 2020

Today has been your reminder that bullpen games are a last resort – not something you do when you actually have healthy, capable starters available.
— Kyle Glaser (@KyleAGlaser) September 16, 2020

Why is Richards in the game and why is he giving up huge dongs?
— William, washing kegs again (@LybargerBrewery) September 16, 2020

Dustin May curses a lot
— Ben Higgins (@BenHigginsSD) September 16, 2020

Dustin May's f-bombs are audible in the press box.#padres #dodgers #fbombs
— Bernie "Doc El Cajon" Wilson (@berniewilson) September 16, 2020

One more +2 inning will scare Doc Roberts into bringing Jansen in and then we're cooking

Emilio Pagan is warming for the ninth.

He will be the ninth pitcher that the #Padres use in this game, a new franchise record.
— Jeff Sanders (@sdutSanders) September 16, 2020

Emilio Pagán will be the ninth pitcher used by the Padres. That's a new club record for a nine-inning game. What a way to base ball.
— Dennis Lin (@dennistlin) September 16, 2020

Will a Tatis walkoff HR be a good slump buster?
— Jeremy (@Jeremy_Nash) September 16, 2020

Watching Moreland bat against lefties is a slow death.
— Aggro Padres fan on autopilot (@CornfedFriar) September 16, 2020

Couldn't have Nola PH for Moreland? ?
— PadreHomer (@PadreHomer) September 16, 2020

Got back from running errands just in time to get my hopes up and ultimately be disappointed. I missed this.
— Woe, Doctor! (@woedoctor) September 16, 2020

This game has just been weird all around. #analysis
