So, the other day I was messing around with the idea of whether or not Padres fans were actually told to turn on the dark entrance for Suarez. It’s been a hot topic, you know, and I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
First, I started digging into what people were saying online. I mean, that’s where all the gossip starts, right? I saw a bunch of comments about Snell not being worth what he was asking for. And yeah, we offered him something, but it is what it is. They were also talking about how the Padres are trying to fix up their roster for the 2025 season. Sounds like a plan, but who knows what’ll actually happen.
Then I found this video of Robert Suarez coming in during Game 3 of the NLDS. The crowd went wild, man. It was the bottom of the 8th, and the Padres were up 6-5. Talk about a high-pressure situation. Suarez is our quiet guy, but he throws some serious heat.
Here’s where it got interesting. Even though Suarez has had some rough patches, the Padres’ manager, Mike Shildt, is sticking by him. He said his concern level “is not very high.” But then, after this 3-2 win over the White Sox, things got a little weird.
- I read that Suarez made a big impact on the Padres in his first season back in 2022.
- He had just come off a five-year stint in Japan, so he’s got some experience under his belt.
In this one game, Shildt called the bullpen right after the first-base coach, Fletcher, talked to him. And get this, Scott, another one of our players, wasn’t even told what happened with Suarez. Like, what’s the secret? There’s something strange about Game 2 for San Diego.
So, after putting all these pieces together, I’m still not sure if the fans were told to do anything specific for Suarez’s entrance. It sounds like there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff going on, and maybe some mixed signals. But one thing’s for sure: Suarez is a key player for the Padres, and they’re banking on him to come through, dark entrance or not.
It’s all speculation at this point, but it’s fun to play detective, right? I’ll keep my eyes and ears open for any more clues. You never know what you’ll find when you start digging.
