The Padres are 38 runs ahead of the Rockies, the worst team in the NL, and 37 runs behind the Dbacks, the worst team ahead of them in WC standings.

Morejon for a graduated top 75 prospect starter.

I don’t know what kind of value he’s got but they should look into trading Sheets. He is what he is, which would be more valuable for a good team than us.

“Nando, who is not running”

Offer France 2/10 and if he doesn’t take it, trade him.

KC is twenty games under .500 with a -87 run diff. Losing this series should slam the book shut on the season.

Taylor getting a commercial is some “Hey, it’s baseball” shit.

Does this mean coming out hurt was on the table?

WS odds after the start of the second half: 26: 0.2% 25: 1.6 24: 1.9 23: 3.1 22: 4.5 21: 8.1

I don’t know where the Miller/X stuff is coming from but it fits perfectly with my X-to-the Yankees campaign.

I bet that had they only scored two, Stammen would’ve stuck with Miller.

Holy crap.

Game 7 shit.

It’s too hot to watch the Padres.

Tony Litter Box

I hate this shit. Waldron got his ass kicked the first game after the break and the run diff was still +5. The Padres would have to win by 48 runs to get their run diff up to +5 this year.

Fucking Brits.

I know an Argentinean who said “Why does everyone hate us now?,” and it’s like have you not been watching?

You know, one thing about trading X is that we don’t have a SS of the future anymore.

Preller is such a genius. Look at how many past and present Padres are at the All-Star Game! (Please do not look into how many were All-Stars before Preller acquired them.)

N-Mart made the All-Star team??

Go Spain, I guess.

Once again I ask, are there people who enjoy Greg Amsinger?

The Padres' playoff odds are currently 11.7%. Since 2021, five teams (out of 58) have made it with lower odds at the break: 21 STL (2.3%) 21 ATL (7.5) 24 DET (7.6) 25 CLE (10.2) 25 CIN (11.3)

The Padres had a 0 run diff against a pretty bad Blue Jays team. They stink.

What a shockingly bad innings from the Blue Jays. Did choking away the World Series break them?

I don’t know how Blue Jays fans do it because I’m not one and even I hate Hoffman’s guts.

Mud and Don call the game like a soundboard, and they should be careful they don’t give Greupner any ideas.

France should get traded. We have Andujar and, more importantly, should see what Song or Wagner can do.

This coaching staff is too tense to have solid job security.

Manny’s so fucking lazy. He’s not only not taking a secondary lead but he’s barely taking an athletic stance. He’s basically just standing there.

Oh right, Valenzuela, the catcher Preller traded away while simultaneously dealing with catching depth problems for a guy who’s rotting away in AAA.

Cade Smith leads all relievers with 27 shutdowns this season. A 2.70 ERA and 61 punchies in 43 innings says the number is earned. Adrian Morejon is next at 24.

Teams that need a reliever, according to MLB dot com: Texas, Seattle, Washington, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Cubs, Pittsburgh. Texas, Chicago, and Philly seem crazy enough to go after Miller, but all should be interested in Morejon.

Even if the Padres wanted to buy, it doesn't look like there's a lot out there. It's either pure rentals or big contracts. I'm not seeing any Arraezes or Ceases out there.

In 2019, the Padres were .500 at the break with a -35 run diff. Going into today, they're one game below .500 with a -44 run diff.

I don’t really believe Kras knows what he’s talking about, but still. 😪

I see the Blue Jays are still bad base runners.

The “Reaper” cutaway is really horrible.

Go winner of France/Spain.

France with the “I’m getting the fuck outta here” bat flip.

It tracks that Campy would be an aggressive challenger.

Is Buehler hurt or did Stammen just outmanage a guy who was one out from winning the World Series?

That was actually a very smart nonchallenge by Manny.
