Wtf are you talking about. Nola is a 30 year old utility guy.

Those concussions are finally starting to get to me, I legit got him and his brother confused.

 

[silverwheels]

@Travis7401 succeeded in giving his CTE to Tony. Science is a miracle.

Add this 2 the list of communicable diseases that can get you into heaven that-we aren’t shutting down the economy 4.

 

[Southpaw]

Watching the Padres game and the Rockies just give Grisham the 3rd base line. If you put the shift on a left handed lead off hitter why don’t you just drop the bunt down and take first?? Is that not the way baseball is played anymore?

 

[pavel]

This new “southpaw as padres fan” schtick is the best schtick

 

[Southpaw]

It’s no schtick. I’ve never had a big league team really living where I do, so I followed players and rooted for their teams when I was a kid and still do. Tony Gwynn was one of my favorites back in the day so I‘ve rooted for them before. I’m all in babby. I was researching their prospects the last few days. They are fucking loaded and even after all these trades only gave up 2 of their top 10 guys. One of which was a SS in Arias. They won’t be needing a SS any time soon any way.

 

[pavel]

ORALE!!

 

[Southpaw]

It’s also like all my total non interest in sports the last 8 months has caused withdrawals and now my addiction has come home to roost and manifested with this. I can’t get enough. Inject it into my veins.

 

[pavel]

My good friend works for Davidson County and is a huge Padres fan. Look him up!

 

[Southpaw]

Pm me his name. Im paid by the state but I’m in the Davidson county email system because of the way the courts work.

 

[Southpaw]

Just blew this game open. 8 run 8th babby. Clutch. Profar has had a good game tonight but I just don’t picture him as an every day left fielder. Seems like a utility guy. Is Phamm coming back this season?

 

[pavel]

Potentially. I think this team can take 4 of 7 from LA if they meet in the playoffs. A much worse team has already taken 3 of 7, so...

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Real possibility for some fresh Padre heartbreak this fall!

 

[Orlando]

Pham broke his hand, so I’d be shocked if he was back, but maybe towards the end of the month.

I think this team could beat anyone, but the pitching, especially the pen, is so inconsistent. Scares me for any type of postseason run. That said, I do like their rotation. Winning one playoff series would be the best they have done since ‘98.

The Dodgers choking is a given, so why not the Padres?

Curt Bevakwa memories on deck

 

[Southpaw]

Seems like whenever a good pitcher makes his debut for a new team, he gets zero run support. Clevinger wasn’t lights out but certainly good enough.

 

[Southpaw]

They called up Campusano and have him DHing tonight. Curious to see him play. They sent down Greg Allen. Now they have 3 catchers and like 2 OF on the active roster.

 

[Southpaw]

Tatis putting on a show tonight. Hit a line drive off the center field wall and then next at bat goes yard to the opposite field.

 

[Southpaw]

Campusano just went yard. First big league hit.

 

[pavel]

Whats Pete Alonso up to?

 

[pavel]

The upgrade at catcher is unbelievable. Nola is super versatile, too. Good Soup!

 

[Southpaw]

Yeah Hedges was trash. To me it seems like all they are lacking is a left fielder.

 

[Orlando]

I’d rather have Hedges than Castro, but Campusano is the future anyway.

 

[DeadMan]

When did this turn into a Padres thread?

 

[Bmack]

When did this turn into a Padres thread?

When a man was ridiculed 4 playing his heart out until the clock read zero.

 

[adchester]

Lol Minnesota just won on a walkoff routine grounder to short because Byron Buxton just fuckin ran it out

 

[kella]

Don't get too excited by good things your team does against the Tigers

 

[adchester]

Don't get too excited by good things your team does against the Tigers

I'm a Minnesota sports fan, I don't get exciting about anything a team here does because the end result is already known.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Nats finally extend Rizzo

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Mets scored all their runs for the rest of the month today.

 

[Wolfman21]

Mets scored all their runs for the rest of the month today.

Couple cool things happened this weekend for the braves. Freddie freeman is in his 10th full season, one of the best hitters year in and year out...and had never hit a grand slam. Well he finally hit one friday night. And then he hit another today. 9 seasons...not one. Two in 3 games.

Also, ronald acuna set the braves record for career leadoff homeruns with his 18th passing, i believe, felipe alou. He did it in 1/3 of the games and at the age of 22. Kind of one of those throwaway BS records that they have nowadays but still cool.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

RIP Lou Brock

if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock
got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Mets?!?!

 

[goblue96]

Phils bullpen is back!

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Thanks Familia

 

[bruin]

 

[Southpaw]

Fuckin Hosmer did some dumb shit tonight. 1-2 count he squares around to bunt.....why bro?? Ball hits his fingers so that’s a strike out, plus he had to leave the game. I mean damn. Why is Hosmer bunting at all, let alone with 2 strikes?

 

[Southpaw]

He’s going to miss 2-6 weeks. Wow. Gjge

 

[Wolfman21]

now that Fried is going to the DL, not one starting pitcher that was in the Braves rotation in the original spring training (soroka(torn achilles), fried(loss of velo IL), foltynewicz(loss of velo/stuff), hernandez(opt out), hamels(some arm injury)) is available to them currently. We now have Josh Tomlin, Robbie Erlin, Tommy Milone, Kyle Wright and...whoever can throw the ball straight starting. lol. If the Phillies aren't in first by the end of the week, they should really just give up baseball

 

[Southpaw]

My gear finally arrived. Slam Diego, babby. Fuckin Fanatics sent me a Kentucky Wildcats shirt first by mistake. Like wtf, you assholes.

 

[pavel]

 

[pavel]

that second one is legit.

 

[silverwheels]

Padres, UK Wildcats, same thing.

 

[pavel]

Kentucky has a bigger payroll

 

[bruin]

This thread quickly going downhill..

 

[Orlando]

This thread has never been better

 

[Southpaw]

Think it was a coincidence they hit another slam the same day I got my shirt? I think not. Slam Diego
