That’s a great price right now
There was a long rain delay.
That's pretty good. The thing with the Padres is that I think the NL West might be the best division in baseball and that means they will all beat up on each other. I think the Dodgers, Padres, GIants and DBacks are all good enough to be playoff teams, but it's unlikely they all make it.
This is setup perfectly for a Chapman implosion
Gallen's wicked curveball is immune to torpedo bats.
cause even the app doesn’t believe that in a tie game with the bases open a team would pitch to him?
No worries, they'll just buy one.
They have 8, they just need to rotate if someone falters until Kershaw and Ohtani come back.
I’m going to be no fun. Future bets are bad bets and their ownership is in a bit of turmoil, isn’t it? Whispers about selling off players. Can they resist that temptation to cut $$$ at the deadline? Mind you, I haven’t followed baseball with rigor since 2011, the year the Red Sox blew about an eleven game lead in a month and a half, and I decided that if the players don’t care I don’t either and why spend four hours every waking day watching fat John Lackey struggle to pitch and breathe at the same time.
But Google the Pads about their ownership before the $250 investment. That’s a lot of good Portland beer or two pairs of New Balances, you know?
Going into the offseason, I wasn't sure I was going to keep Cristopher Sanchez on my fantasy team, but when the spring reports were that his velocity was up, I did. I'll take it so far.
So his rookie card may be worth something after all.
They went like 20 years without the playoffs but most those years they weren't close and we just had to enjoy things like Felix Hernandez pitching every five days. Recently it has been just shake your head at how close they get and can't find an answer to improve just a couple games. 2024 1 game out of the playoffs, 2023 1 game out, 2021 1 game out, 2018 1 game out, 2017 2 games out, 2016 half game out, 2014 1 game out. All these years getting close and only 2022 could they get over the hump and in. It's baffling to be that close that consistently and only have 1 playoff appearance.
wonder if the pads would like to have wood, hassel, gore and abram’s back right about now. gore is electric, i just don’t know if it’s gonna happen for him, but the others……

Eh, I like something to cheer for. I'm not overly concerned with their ownership - it's the same ownership that was in place last year when the team went 93-69, swept the Braves and took the Dodgers to game 5 in their series, losing a close one 2-0 to the champs who steamrolled to the WS.
It's the same ownership that just handed Jackson Merrill a phat contract extension and he might be one of the best young player in baseball right now at 22 years old. Paired with Tatis and Machado this team has some juice. I'd also keep an eye on Leo De Vries and Ethan Salas in the minors - babies, but they're advanced. Too early for them at the major league level, but this signifies to me an ownership group willing to spend to keep the farm pond stocked - Salas was the top ranked international player and the Pads gave him $5.6mm to sign. That's not a stingy offer for a 17 year old kid.
I like Cease and King as front line starters and the BP is stacked.
I dunno, in a day where I'm losing 4% of my net worth, I've got to find other avenues of hope.
Odds down to +2500
Shoulda, woulda, coulda.....
If we sign King to a deal that will take a ton of the sting out of the Soto deal for sure.wonder if the pads would like to have wood, hassel, gore and abram’s back right about now. gore is electric, i just don’t know if it’s gonna happen for him, but the others……

No one likes them, and it's not the kind of thing that will eventually be embraced ironically like Gritty.
Orioles/Royals covered the over, my friend,
My real-baseball and fantasy-baseball selves were both pleased because Teoscar had a huge day but the Dodgers still lost to the Phillies.
They didn't lose because of the catch. In fact they lucked out that they considered it a catch and carry and only gave the runner one base as he would have been on 3B otherwise.
Not saying they lost because of the catch, but to make a catch like that and lose shortly after has to sting.
Name three players who aren’t on my roto squad.
