I should probably wait and make sure that Warriors aren't wearing white tonight but so far, no white road jersey

You know KD is worried about OKC winning this year and matching his ring count.

😬

Is there a good argument for Niebla besides not losing him as pitching coach (which we would anyway), and is that a good reason?

Loretta interviewing is very interesting, right?

Mike Cameron argues that Pujols would be a distraction, though I question if that’s a bad thing

Hiring a guy who went to school one train stop away from the stadium is very Angels.

So who’d the Padres interview yesterday?

🙏🙏🙏🙏

“Yesterday I threw the exact same pitch and today they hammered it” is a crazy defense

me, I don't have to worry about whether my favorite baseball team would accept a White House invitation, and I think that's beautiful

Dan Wilson really torpedoed the “Experience doesn’t matter“ argument.

Heartbreaking.

Confirmation that Turang should’ve leaned into that pitch.

What a concept

I was going to say "Crazy to have your entire season come down to a pitcher who missed most of the season, and was eh in the games he played," but that's exactly what happened to us.

Fun fact: Pujols is the fifth highest career earner (so far)

Adell’s homers jumped from 20 to 37

When people talk about a candidate not having any managerial experience, what exactly is the issue? That he's not going to know the rules, or that his feel for the game isn't going to be very strong, or something else?

Here's Pujols' key staff members from when he managed Escogido: Bench: Placido Polanco Hitting: Rene Rojas Pitching: Jairo Cuevas And from what I've read, it sounds like Polanco's his best friend.

The argument that Hall of Famers make bad managers seems outdated. Only two recent HOFers have managed this decade and while Sandberg was bad, Molitor wasn't terrible, and two is generally an inadequate sample size.

Hopefully Martinez isn’t a dealbreaker for Pujols.

On Orioles Reddit, they doubt that Elias would make a hire as interesting as Pujols

Pujols’ experience:

The thing about experience is, besides Bochy, who has good experience and is available?

The most interesting part of Greupner’s interview was how quickly he brought up how current players need to hit for more power when the topic of shelling out for new power bats came up.

😪

Vlad, Jr.'s played this entire postseason like he didn't lose $3.5M in a lawsuit.

I may be (am probably) missing somebody but from what I could find, Farrell's the only pitching coach-turned-manager to win a World Series, or at least in the relevant past. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/10/17/t...

Hopefully the reception to the Chargers' all-yellow look is just because no one respects the Chargers because it could give Greupner a ton of pause about going for an all-yellow look for the Padres.

The Chargers adding a yellow jersey (with yellow pants) before the Padres is another reason to get it over with and fire Preller. Greupner needs to get his head in the game.

The problem with baseball payroll discourse is that everyone acts like it’s the Dodgers and Pirates and that’s it.

This is about making the argument for Hundley as the Giants manager, but it works for the Padres as well (though more so with Loretta/Peavy in charge than Preller) www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...

Best seeding this decade: Wave: 1 SDFC: 1 Padres: 4

MJ won six Finals MVPs and Ohtani had a .385 OPS in the World Series last year.

Hundley withdrawing because of his family after multiple rounds of interviews is interesting. Had they slipped his mind?

A highly coveted candidate who lives in San Diego and has a connection to the guy who is rumored to become the puppet GM?

Loretta, Peavy, and Hundley all played for Bochy, which makes me wonder if there’s an idea to give him an FO role.

“For Mark Loretta” 👀👀👀 m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu17...

The more I look into Vitello, the more I get youth pastor ass vibes from him.

The Brewers going 6-0 in the regular season against the Dodgers and then 0-4 against them in the playoffs supports the idea that we need a manager who’s won before, even as a player.

“Hundley pulled out of the running” 😬

lololololololololol

Peralta and Skubal maybe available but we’ve already emptied out our farm for relievers.

The Dodgers have gone 17-4 in the postseason since the Padres fucking choked away the NLDS.

It's a pretty big condemnation of youth baseball if a 25-year-old who "didn't start pitching till eleventh grade" has a very fresh arm.
