You can tell how long someone has been a Padre fan based on how they're able to tolerate 8-1 games

This is how good I am at marketing. I waited until after spring training to reboot a blog and a 10 year old post about spring training: sacrificebunt.com/posts/posts/...

So I decided that since nobody blogs anymore now would be the perfect time to blog

That's interesting, Joe

Was Tatis staring at me? 🥰

Good day

Real ones remember

SDFC is truly playing 4d chess by uniting their community in hatred for this jersey

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

The salary cap feels like a self fulfilling prophecy. The more likely there is to be a cap, the more the Dodgers spend in anticipation of one, and on and on forever

Gone golfin

I'm late to the party but I just finished the audiobook of Eric Longenhagen and @kileymcd.bsky.social's book Future Value. Super fun, extreeeeemely in-depth look into baseball and scouting stuff that is important but is rarely explained. blogs.fangraphs.com/book-excerpt...

I haven't been on bluesky in awhile but I'm guessing the MLB employees are pretending there's nothing wrong with baseball and the Dodgers aren't actually even that good anyway as usual?

If you're a realtor I DARE you to not write "highly desirable neighborhood" in the listing description

I'm just a normal person who chooses my primary care physician based on which doctor's parking lot I hate the least

Our new golden age of free speech, where opposition to immigration enforcement can trigger a federal investigation

My body is clenched, time to edit site wide content on a federal agency .gov

Thinking I might go hard and make this a two avocado kind of day

Schools be like "we waited until the season where there are 1,000 extra things to do, this week we're going to make you come up with a special outfit every day"

Paper towel dispenser designers be like "what we'll do is have people with super wet hands pull down hard on this single ply tissue paper"

What a weird time to be alive, I'm almost tempted to watch an NFL game

We always knew they were Dodger fans

5 months after abdominal surgery, I somewhat unexpectedly deadlifted 420. I'm stoked.

The manager's main jobs are to get player buy-in for what the front office wants to do and to be the public face of the team with the press and the fanbase. There's no reason Stammen couldn't be good at both those things.

Pretty unexpected, but Stammen was looked to as a leader during his time here

The new moneyball is a manager players will listen to but will do what the front office wants

Bruce Bochy seems philosophically aligned with Preller so he might be a good fit from that perspective, and a team full of veterans is Bochy's wheelhouse. But is it weird to say I still don't think Bochy is who the Padres need? It probably is weird but I already said it.

I didn't want to see this, but I couldn't look away. Padres 2025 postseason batting line: .189 / .243 / .305 .242 wOBA

If I were in charge I'd offer Preller an option. Tell him we'd love to keep him but we need some changes. Modernize the front office and focus on efficiency. His spending tied up too much money on aging players. He tried to be the Yankees but it backfired.

Tatis was so far behind that strikeout pitch. Ughhh

If this it I think it may be time to part ways with Preller. He's great at finding talent, which is the hardest thing in baseball to do, but chose to trade most of it away. He spent tons of money and the team is now backed up against a wall because of it, without much to show.

Hoerner time that jump terribly and made the play look much harder, yet is getting showered in praise. Sports are funny

Padres in the playoffs: behind by 2, playing for 1

Imagine not wanting replay review in baseball

In just 23 innings of work, Mason Miller already ranks 5th on the entire Padres' staff in pitcher fWAR

If you want to feel better just remember how big mad Dodgers fans still are about Manny Machado. It warms my heart.

I just want Ron Washington to manage every team in baseball

Tatis took a pitch #positivity

Palencia seems wild let's just hang back a bit

Anyone who is at the game please yell at the Padres to stop bunting since their manager won't

Can't expect your pitcher to be perfect. Hopefully this offense stops playing to score one run.

Mike Schildt says that he is not responsible for his team's poor strategic decisions, says broadcast. This is supposed to make me feel better.

Thank you X for giving it to me

Calling it: next year's city connect jerseys are going to be generic and boring, and the mint and pink will be the next generation of "bring back the brown"
