Gore’s Unexpected Move Could Shake Up Padres’ Fate—What Happens Next Will Surprise You
The Padres are having a worse-ish season than I expected, but to be honest, my expectations for this team were always too high. For whatever reason, the Dodgers seem to get great talent and it all works together. Perhaps that is a testament to Dave Roberts or something? I really have no idea, but a team that has had Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Xander Boegarts, Juan Soto, Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, and Luis Arraez in the past few seasons has very little success to show for itself. Injuries and suspensions have caused some issues over the years, but I still wouldn’t want to face them in the playoffs if they make it. Today they send out Nick Pivetta to the hill. Pivetta is 7-2 with a 3.64 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. Pivetta has been solid this year, but not quite reliable lately. Looking at this month, he has an ERA of 6.23, having allowed four or more earned runs in three of his four starts. Prior to this month, he had allowed 13 earned runs in nine starts (I’m excluding a six run outing at Coors Field). Nationals hitters have been pretty good against Pivetta, too. They are 10-for-38 against him.Â
