San Diego Padres: Robert Suarez has been an unsung hero (Call to the Pen)

A 31-year-old rookie, Robert Suarez has a unique story. After his postseason performance, the San Diego Padres pitcher is finally getting the attention.

If Suarez keeps pitching this well, he might just pitch the Padres to the World Series. After impressing there for a few years, Suarez decided to make the jump to the Padres before the lockout. Suarez went through a lot of ups and downs to make it to the MLB mound. At Petco Park, he has an ERA of 0.00 in 24.0 regular-season innings spanning 21 games, plus a pair of scoreless frames in the postseason. The combination of Suarez and Hader is downright scary. Heading into Tuesday’s NLCS opener, Suarez has become a flawless setup man to Josh Hader.

StubHub, the Padres' official fan reseller, has tickets available for about $140, though the average price of a ticket is closer to $400. In the event the Padres are eliminated, season-ticket holders will receive a credit for unplayed games that can be applied to the 2023 season.

The Guardians, meanwhile have played the role of underdog twice already this postseason. Tickets will be limited based on the type of membership plan and the number of seats linked to each member account -- 3 tickets for members with 1-2 seats, 4 tickets for members with three or more.

NLCS: Manny Machado Has Been a $300 Million Bargain for San ... (The New York Times)

Manny Machado is a star on and off the field, and his unflinching presence, day in and day out, helped lead the Padres past the Dodgers and into the ...

They’re a presence in the lineup.” Discounting his rookie season in 2012 and the pandemic-shortened season in 2020, he has played in at least 150 games in eight of his nine other seasons. And since the start of the 2015 season, he has played in 1,156 games. He played much of the 2021 season after suffering an injury to his left shoulder that he said for a time prevented him from even being able to lift his arm. “You see the names and plaques that go up every year of those people who played, did well, grinded,” he said. But what he’s done here and what he continues to do and what he’s done this year deep into his contract, this is one of the better contracts out there.” It’s even more difficult to be the guy in the clubhouse, and he does it like he does on the field. As part of the hard process of changing a losing culture, he has played for four managers in four seasons. In the beginning there was Andy Green, a nice guy who inherited the unenviable task of teaching a group of young players who weren’t ready for the bigs. Gradually, as he assimilated into his new situation and especially after the veteran first baseman Eric Hosmer was traded this summer, Machado took charge. “It’s tough enough being the guy on the field and having to perform. The Phillies were a generational team, had played in the World Series twice in the not-too-distant past (beating Tampa Bay in 2008 and losing to the Yankees in 2009) and were ready to flex again.

Padres held to one hit, lose Game 1 of NLCS to Phillies (The San Diego Union-Tribune)

Yu Darvish allows only two runs, both on homers, but Phillies starter Zack Wheeler and two relievers blank Padres in Game 1 of NLCS at Petco Park.

At a projected 488 feet, it was the farthest a ball had been hit at Petco Park and the farthest a ball had ever been hit by a Phillies player since Statcast began measuring distances in 2015. The 119.7 mph exit velocity was the hardest a Phillies player had ever hit a ball as well. With two outs and Schwarber on third base, Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth saved a run by diving to stop Harper’s 106 mph grounder in shallow right field and throwing to first. The Padres’ previous LCS occurred in 1998 and was played at Qualcomm Stadium. Darvish’s fifth strikeout ended that inning, and his sixth strikeout started the fourth. We need to come out and swing the bats a little better. “They know we need to come out and take at least one of these at home,” manager Bob Melvin said of the Padres’ players. Padres hitters did make a little history, as Tuesday was the first time in the franchise’s 48 postseason games that the Padres were held to one hit. Wednesday (FS1, 97.3-FM) before the series heads to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 (and 5, if necessary). To get there again, they will need to win four games while the Phillies need just three more. “It was a hard-fought game,” Padres third baseman Manny Machado said. The previous two times they played in an LCS resulted in World Series appearances.
