21.4%, which is 10th best in the NL, or 6th worst.

Nobody likes this guy

meanwhile Fernando with twelve kids

You guys, Manny has a young child. He’s actually the only player in baseball with a young child. Cut him some slack.

Fucking commercials for the Heritage Foundation during the Australian Open. This is very dystopian.

I can't believe he didn't say anything about the WBC.

Hasn't had a wRC+ over 100 vs. LHP since 2023, and even then it was only 106.

The one bright side of Preller's commitment to not winning the World Series is that we won't have to see Manny and Craiggers kissing the king

This team loves to parade Colbert’s image around in February and around Jackie Robinson Day, but wouldn’t wear a patch honoring him when he died

Best remaining bats by DC projections: -Ozuna: .341 wOBA -Winker: .328 -Lowe: .324 -Goldschmidt: .321 -Andujar: .318 -Hoskins: .317 -El Gary: .316 For perspective, here's every Padre above Gary: -Tatis: .361 -Merrill: .335 -Manny: .332 -Laureano: .320 -Campy: .318

Littell: 32 GS, 186.2 IP, 3.81 ERA, 4.88 FIP Vasquez: 26 GS, 133.2 IP, 3.84 ERA, 4.85 FIP

Eugenio Suarez: 49 home runs Manny and Tatis: 52 home runs combined

If the idea is Sheets at first and Wagner and Song at DH, they're going to need two right-handed bats.

The best part about Manny blowing off Fan Fest is how many Padres fans say it's alright. (Even better are the ones who say it's OK because he has a kid, who's almost two. Tatis has numerous children and he still showed up.) I'm waiting for their "Why don't he want me?" moment.

$635 million now showing up for Fan Fest.

Give Suarez one of those deals that pays him like 5% of his contract this year.

Is FanFest still going? Can someone check if Preller’s watching the Mavs game?

Oracle is 7th in 1B park factor, so signing Arraez could actually work out for them.

Are there any good bats still available in a trade?

At least obnoxious college students spend an entire semester in a country before they act like they're experts on it

Stammen's sure made it sound like Sheets is going to be the every day first baseman. Add in his other comment about using DH to get guys more time off, including Bogaerts and Merrill, and it doesn't really sound like they plan on improving the offense.

I love the idea of Orlando’s fauxbacks but the font is so boring.

Should’ve traded him for Tauchman

ZiPS projects zero Padres with an Iso over .200 (Tatis is highest at .196), one with 25+ home runs (Tatis: 26), and three with 20+ (Manny: 23, Merrill: 20). On top of that, it only projects eight players with a 100+ wRC+ and two of them are Campy and Nick Solak, whoever that is.

Padres preseason farm system ranking and postseason outcome: 20: 2nd, NLDS 21: 15th, -- 22: 14th, NLCS 23: 17th, -- 24: 14th, NLDS 25: 28th, NLWCS 26: 30th, TBD

Numerous prospect writers have the Padres 30/30 and we lost in the WCS last year and people still want to extend Preller.

Wemby’s French so he’s probably wondering when we’re literally burning shit down.

This wasn't even the most stressful thing I watched this weekend

KOC keeping McCarthy over Darnold deserves at least a sidenote in the book of San Diego sports failures.

I really wish they had shown the reception Woolen got when he got back to the bench.

Rashid Shaheed > Usha Vance

Once more, take the points.

These superimposed lines are horrible.

What the hell was that play calling?

Take the points, and take the sack.

There’s only 3-4 starters really worth signing and Giolito is one of them, so figuring out the Darvish stuff quickly would be ideal

Darvish's agent to Darvish and the Padres:

Darvish is going to be our Kershaw, meaning we’re going to sign him to one year deals forever and give him postseason starts he really shouldn’t get.

Turns out that watching someone climb up a skyscraper is actually pretty boring.

Maxey what are you doing?

Alcantara only makes $17M this year, and $38M overall, and we know Bendix loves Preller as a scout.

Had they already gotten some of Darvish's money back, or did this just open up $16M?

They had to talk about what happened during midday basketball on ABC.

According to FG, the five best teams in baseball are the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, and Braves. Ignoring the obscenely wealthy Dodgers, their bullpens rank 11th, 12th, 7th, and 8th, and their closers are Bednar, Williams, Hoffman, and Suarez. And we traded the number four prospect for ours.
