There are two ways to try to score. The dodgers way and the Padres way.

Keep Grish and HSK. Sign an innings eater. Pursue trades at the deadline based on needs and injuries.

Did Machado just hit an “infield double?”

Buck knew they weren’t going to find anything. He felt the balls in the first and they weren’t sticky. He had to wait until the 5th to check because Joe had a perfect game going and Buck knew how bad his “gamesmanship” would look if Joe was still perfect.

“Cocoa butter” is unsweetened white chocolate. It’s candy. People are rubbing candy on their skin.

Bunting is baseball. I like baseball and I’m not going to be mad at anyone for playing baseball.

Okay so this deal is what made the Manaea deal work financially. So we just upgraded a starter and a reliever without adding payroll which is pretty good.

Happy opening day btw

Real talk I liked Paddack. I liked the cowboy shtick. I liked that he had the emotional fortitude of a homeschooled 13 year old. His whole aura was so aggressively lame and I loved it.

Tatis would have won MVP if he had a 1B capable of digging balls out of the dirt

Okay bad idea but hear me out: make Hosmer the manager. Then his salary doesn’t go against the luxury tax threshold and you can bring in a 1B who can catch Tatis’s low throws. The players obviously love him and will play for him since trying to trade him made them quit in 2021.

Can anybody point me to the Padres Twitter account that refurbishes stadium seats?

Okay so it’s okay we didn’t sell the farm at the deadline. Even if we got Scherzer it wouldn’t put us above the dodgers this year. We’ll still have a punchers chance in the playoffs but it’s good that we didn’t blow it all on this year.

Not saying I’m in favor of trading Cronenworth but the man can play SS which might mean he’d be more valuable to an organization that needs a SS.

Everybody let’s wait for the facts to come in. All we know is Bauer beat the shit out of an unconscious woman. Let’s reserve judgment until we find out if his lawyers can keep him out of jail.

Chris Taylor strikes out looking after watching 5 pitches end up in the zone with 3 called as strikes

MLB: inspects balls leaving play and analyzes spin rates to understand the problem unobtrusively Also MLB: checks specifically hats, gloves and belts invasively when enforcing allowing pitchers to hide it anywhere else
