Diamondbacks Get POUNDED By Padres In First Inning, Lose Pivotal First Game Of Series

[@avisser5345]

Part of the blame is on your fans. You guys had a must win game and the padre fans were louder. If this game had been played at Petco, the energy would have been off the scale. Watch us on Tuesday, its going to be loud. Success spoils the fans and you guys were complacent, expecting to just roll into the playoffs.

[@SamMarlin-l8p]

Fans don't mean anything, LOL. If a ML baseball player needs a fan to motiviate him he got big problems. Of course they mention the fans cause it's the PR move they have to say. Imagine a player saying we don't need fans we love the game enough, we don't need any motivation.

@@SamMarlin-l8p fans can mess up the communication between pitcher and catcher when loud enough

[@Banarama-p4b]

@@avisser5345 I never seen a fan come down and block the view between the pitcher and catcher, nor have I ever heard anyone say they couldn't hear the pitch calls CAUSE OF A FAN. There are malfunctions all the time but it's not cause of the fan. Football play calling it does happen.

[@michaelb3581]

It’s a simple branding issue.. you can’t blame the D Backs because right now the Pads have the best branding in baseball; we’re building a massive market. Arizona can, and I believe will be the next to do so.

[@Banarama-p4b]

If Erod gives up 3 runs Lovullo is going to Nelson and hopefully it's not too late.

[@coryoldham-il5sj]

Again this team has shown that they are not very good after a day off.

[@Banarama-p4b]

Gallen, Pfaadt, Nelson connecting to GInkel and PUK can beat anyone. That's why they play the games. Watch Puk pitch multiple innings. Puk, GInkel will BOTH be overworked and it will pay off for the Dbacks.

[@SamMarlin-l8p]

No way BOTH the Braves and Mets go 2-0 each Saturday and Sunday and don't count on either going 2-0 on Monday. Dbacks will be in playoffs.

[@SamMarlin-l8p]

This isn't hard to figure out, there's no way in H$ll the Braves or Mets BOTH are going to win 90 games! LOL Maybe one will win 90 but I wouldn't be surprised it BOTH the BRAVES and METS only win 89 each. The Dbacks of course are going to destroy the Padres the next two games BECAUSE only great pitching will stop the Dbacks and the Padres won't be sending out great pitching. So for any of you out there thinking the Dbacks aren't in the playoffs, you don't know your baseball.

Go Braves goodluck Arizona 👍

[@SWLion26]

San Diego has absolutely nothing to play for these next two games. They should rest their starters, hopefully Diamondbacks can take advantage of it.

[@paulvon2378]

except to ruin the D-backs season

[@avisser5345]

​@@paulvon2378 Nope, we don't care at all about that. We are going to rest everybody as much as possible. We will have the bottom of the bullpen out there. Good luck and maybe we'll see you in SD on Tuesday.

@@avisser5345 good! Go Dbacks

[@JeffreyJordan-gw9vt]

You' sound like a couple of bush leaguers talking down Jackson Merrill, you wish you had a player that has his talent, but then of course you're from Phoenix. In my opinion the old Phoenix Giants could beat the team that the Diamond Backs put out on the field tonight.

[@2bmc.]

How are they talking down? They literally were singing his praises. You completely misheard that part, friend. But your ignorance is probably explained by whatever city you live in so no worries you’re off the hook.

[@joseortiz7828]

What did they say wrong about Merrill? Haha

[@useritscarrot]

Lmfao dang my dad told me about them

[@aicofrena505]

I don't understand how you guys lost and to get beat by Suarez in the end when he can't do squat that's sad and yeah I'm a Padre fan but when I went to dodger Stadium for the last series I saw a team that was so out of touch I don't know how you guys did not win it's beyond me should be an easy victory

[@JayMcG-us1ic]

Padres are a better team plain and simple.

[@paulvon2378]

Dbacks are better offense and Pads have better pitching
