Chris Paddack was everything today. He was nasty, he was tough, he was consistent, and he was aggressive. In 7 innings pitched, he struck out 9 Seattle Mariners and threw just 83 pitches. Had the San Diego Padres wanted him to throw a complete game shutout, I believe he probably could’ve done it.
However, his health before the game probably led to Andy Green going to the bullpen in the 8th inning for a hold (Trey Wingenter, 6) and a save (Kirby Yates, 12!).
While the tweet has since been taken down, Chris Paddack’s brother tweeted early in this one:
Just a little nugget for today’s game.
