Josh Bell hit less than .200 after coming to the Padres in a trade. Trent Grisham hit less than .200 for the entire season. Make that, the regular season. The post-season is a completely different animal. “Batting averages are back to .000 again and it’s just like a new life for them,” says Padres manager Bob Melvin. Sure enough, Bell…
"I don't know, honestly. I like big moments," says Snell."I like big games. I like pitching. When there's a good crowd, good atmosphere, you just show up for it. I don't think there's a reason outside of I just like it and I prefer it. I believe that I could see how good I really am in those moments and I think that excites me."
His last playoff appearance now lives in infamy. It was Game 6 of the 2020 World Series. Snell was twirling a gem, shutting out the Dodgers on two hits in the 6th inning, when manager Kevin Cash inexplicably took him out after just 73 pitches. The Rays bullpen lost the game and the series. Obviously that one hurt. But, today is a new day.
"Honestly, I don't think about it much anymore. It was probably one of the better games I've thrown in my life," says Snell."I'm excited that I get to pitch tomorrow and just kind of put that behind me. I feel like I've learned a lot since then, and I've grown a lot and I've become a better pitcher. I'm excited to see what memories we can make this post-season.
If he's even better than he was that day, with a manager who will let him go deeper into games, the Padres should be getting ready to start the National League Division Series in Los Angeles on Tuesday night with Joe Musgrove on the mound.
