If any of you have been to what is now Oracle Park you know how impressive this is

Just watched this shit live, one of the longest bombs I've ever seen

 

[Hike]

Let a Bay Area Nutopian know when your in town @adchester Looks like you have good seats. I’d guess Club level 208? Unless it’s a Suite.

@Brick more like the BUMDRES

You know a team is well built when your two highest paid offensive players are both 30+ years old with 10 years left on contracts with slash lines of .228/.282/.354 and .213/.263/.316

 

[pavel]

Feels bad man.

 

[Southpaw]

And tatis sucks this year too. Get back on the juice.

 

[goblue96]

It's been downhill in SUN DIEGO ever since these guys showed up.

lawrence can give up 7 in a hurry

lol at winning 7 straight and still being 15-28.

DINGER ROCKIES DINGER ROCKIES MILES MILES COORS

 

[Southpaw]

Lol swept by the Rockies. Glad they brought me back to reality fast when I thought they had possibly gotten over the hump.

They need to Bobby Bonilla machado and Bogaerts asap.

Reds lose another series. Can't wait to get clown stomped by the doyers. This is a 100 loss team after just barely missing the playoffs last year. 20th consecutive year of a rebuild.

Opinion: The Reds being good is bad for baseball

The Cincinnati Reds are in first place in the NL Central and have turned their season around in a hurry. Why is that bad for baseball?

You know what fixes this....revenue sharing and salary caps like football.

 

[goblue96]

The LOLPoors always asking for handouts.

 

[GR8 2 B FL G8R]

Imagine that, young talent squandered in the grey, featureless wasteland of Ohio…

Hocking Hills is one of the finest biological gardens in this quadrant of the galaxy

 

[CJ_24]

Maybe Houston should have spent more time on infrastructure and less time on being rotten CHEATERS

 

[GR8 2 B FL G8R]

Ok FDR

[Mr. Radpants]

Skenes fans his first 7 Cubs

 

[Southpaw]

He looks so good. Hope he doesn't become Strasburg, Wood or Prior and just super good for a brief period until he wrecks his arm.

 

[kella]

Those hot dogs look sad and barely cooked.

you ain't gonna make it if it's 9 loaded chili dogs.

 

[Southpaw]

I am gonna do it this weekend I think, but not to a Padres game. I don't want to puke all that up when Machado GIDP for the 1,000th time.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Strasburg lasted way longer than the other two and won a World Series. Obviously an unfortunate ending to his career. But I don’t think the three should be in the same sentence.

Aren't there concerns about Strasburg having issues leading a normal life due to nerve damage?

Not a question of if but when Skenes breaks. It sucks but the human body isn't built to last consistently throwing as hard as these guys do.

 

[goblue96]

Cherrington can’t wait to trade Skenes for used resin bag, a half full bucket of pine tar and cash considerations

Yes. It absolutely sucks.

Also I forgot how long Wood stuck around as a reliever.

 

[goblue96]

Ain’t gonna make it when you get a tape worm and spend the last 3 innings in the bathroom either

 

[fried rice]

Wow, Skenes with 0 ER, 1 BB and 11K through 6 innings. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

 

[goblue96]

Game is still a coin flip.

 

[CJ_24]

 

[Southpaw]

I mean yeah they do. Generational talent flame throwers that had their careers ended too soon due to arm injuries. Obviously they aren’t identical but all three at their peaks were pretty close in talent and results.

 

[pavel]

Gonna need to hear @fryedaddy’s take on SKENES first, so that I can think the opposite

@Mr. Radpants buddy CHRIS O'LEARY has already predicted his demise due to FLAT ARM SYNDROME.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

He's such a grifter. All he does is pick a player that throws hard and claims future injuries based on some pseudo mechanical analysis. He's been doing this for decades at this point.

He doesn't like all these pitchers getting DRIVELINED'd!

I read this as fans (of Raekwon for example) and took 30 extra secs to compute

 

[goblue96]

NATITUDE has four starters hitting under .200?!?!?!? @Mr. Radpants - what the hell is going on down there?

 

[Brick]

trying to mimick padres last 2 years.

ROCKIES continue winning streak 2 nite @DeadMan ?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

We doin the @bruin @bruin228 approach. Can’t hit but 80/80 speed guys

 

[goblue96]

They may run like Mays but they hit like shit.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Look at this jump time

His routes are horrible but it doesn’t matter because speeeeed

 

[goblue96]

If he had just average route running, he would be ELITE.

 

[goblue96]

This game was FUN

 

[kella]

tigers are dogshit yet again. Shocking. 18 innings in a row without a run lmbo

 

[Southpaw]

Fox has been showing the rangers angels since the padres and Braves was rained out. Cripple fight. Going into the 13th inning. Neither team can get a run home from second

 

[Southpaw]

Padres prefer to only play well on the road against good teams. At home they mail it the fuck in

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Screw winning, I just want STEALS
