For those wondering about the current Padres social media drama - apparently pimp posted a serious “we’re screwed” video (because of Tatis underperforming and bad contracts for Manny and Xander). Then Joe Musgrove reposted it followed by un-reposting it.

How it started / how it’s going.

Wholesome baseball moment alert: Matt Olson connects with one in his home state (assists: organist and fans). youtube.com/shorts/dR6sR...

Wilson Contreras is from Venezuela and has been very publicly struggling with his emotions this week. Cavalli, knowing this, yelled a racially-charged taunt at him. Contreras got tossed. Cavalli continued pitching. I love baseball, but MLB is a horrific organization.

So Acee hasn't written it but said on his podcast that Joe's elbow has no cartilage....yeah, his career is over

Interesting that the account whose claim to fame is providing us words said on the field leaves out the word “boy” yelled by the white guy from Oklahoma that is sure to provoke a POC.

pride month ends this week and wouldn’t it be so cool since we keep getting new shitty updates on the giants story if we also got maybe one story saying pride night is important and quoting a player or two who isn’t a psychotic homophobe?

This is a must-listen for Padres history buffs because Ted Leitner gives a fascinating insider perspective on the organization over the years (in his own rambling, vintage Uncle Teddy style). Well done, gentlemen. I’ll take another 3 hours, please 🙏

the main thing the giants are begging for right now is for fans to let them move on and jUsT pLaY bAlL so we can’t let them have that.

Good on the SF media for doing their gd JOB. 👏

There is only one logical conclusion here and that is that he agrees with the bigots.

What in the actual fuck www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

Why is your gay friend who loves baseball in such a foul mood these days? Because the players hate us.

the point of the DOJ thing is to scare teams into canceling pride night bc it isn’t worth it btw. everyone is well aware it’s a charade on all sides. the question is will MLB cave. not optimistic!

Everyone pls update your list of stupid hateful players.

Now teams are forfeiting games rather than support gay fans. I’ll be glad when Pride Month is over because these bigots are so exhausting.

And that’s how you should write on a pride hat

You know who I’m not mad at right now? Kruk.

Every year it’s the same damn thing with MLB and Pride Month. There’s always controversy because for some reason people think they’re entitled to an opinion about who gets to love who. Most ballplayers are Neanderthals. I look forward to their evolution but we’re a long way from that.

None of these men ever want to say it with their full chest. They want the smoke but not the heat. That’s not going to work with me. I’m going to outlast all of you weak-hearted cowards. Stand on that.

if youre going to let every hillrod middle reliever write a bible verse on his pride cap whats the fucking point

remember when a bunch of baseball writers staunchly refused to even note that clayton kershaw is a despicable bigot much less call him out on it because he was retiring? anyway, more players are writing horseshit on their hats to protest pride nights.

Day 1 in London. Padres hats spotted: 0 (but I did see someone in a Mariners CC cap).

This ol' girl is heading to London today for the first time - so excited! Drop me your favorite experiences ⬇️

Look at that grip! Maybelle Blair, age 99 (she “came out” at 95), threw out the first pitch for LA’s Pride Night yesterday. She’s also good friends with Justine Siegal who’s heading up the new women’s baseball league debuting in August.

The Blue Jays admin is responding to homophobic replies, sticking up for gay fans. That’s how you do this. You don’t hide from haters by not posting about Pride - you stand strong against them. Take note, atPadres.

Hell yeah, Spencer! ty 🙏

Interesting - Philly radio host Joe DeCamara speculated that Castellanos may have complained about not being in starting lineup in game 2, and so they cut him then & there instead of waiting. 🤷‍♀️

This is such a ripoff. For $100 you might get to buy cool shoes, might not. Don’t toy with us, Greup. We’re out here hanging on to this team by a thread. www.mlb.com/padres/ticke...

This is awesome. The Cardinals are joined by the Nationals, Mets, Pirates, Giants, Guardians, Pirates, Cubs, and Twins in inviting this group to their Pride nights.

Sheel is big mad at Buster on X for suggesting that Peter’s spending was because he was “ailing.” She tells him to stop with that narrative.

He’s such a different dude. Haha gotta love his total misuse of “purity of the game.”

Happy Pride Month, baseball fans! Overall, credit to these teams for not abandoning Pride Nights in these hateful times. s/o Seattle for celebrating ALL month long and NYY for the scholarships ⚾️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Is Stammen cursing?? 😬😅

Please stop talking about meeting presidents. You’re ruining my post-enjoyment of Tatis’s homerun.

Now THAT’S baseball 🔥

Okay he also told Ray Kroc stories midway through the episode that are worth a listen

Did we know that Ted Leitner is no longer an “ambassador” with the Padres? That’s what he said on the flagship’s Roundtable today.

Getaway day - on to DC, Philly

But then they have that beautiful camera angle and fun commentary on Jackson’s catch - watching is such a mixed bag. I can’t quit them 😭

Who else remembers when the tv broadcast wasn’t half filled with infomercials for suites, theme games, monetized experiences?

Going to try not to judge anyone wearing that “patriotic” Aloha shirt. We’ll see how that goes, lol.

Pride Month is just around the corner. Here’s what the NL teams are doing and when. (Note: not going to predict Giants’ outfield celebration but please pray for their best effort yet 😜 🙏)

Tarps-off boys took over after the Marines left.

Say what you will about boomer Padres fans but we ain’t soft.

Here’s a great opportunity to score amazing Petco Park seats plus help the SD Madres continue supporting Little Leagues across the county. I’m happy to answer any questions. Thank you and good luck! (Reposts appreciated.)

The new mural that’s part of the City Connect Experience is beautiful (as is the local artist photography exhibit). #padres

Kwanza and Jose in the Petco Park house tonight. @darnay.bsky.social with it first!

But I was told “Rivalry Weekend” was against the Mariners last weekend?

Well, I kind of liked PCA until today.
