@Howard_Cole@Kevin_D_Webb They were just raving about how great he has been at first for them this year. But I agree, that’s an experience play for sure.
Dodger killer Ryne Nelson on the mound tonight. This guy owns the Dodgers. He’s given up 15 home runs tonight but I guarantee you the Dodgers don’t hit a single one off him.
Clearly Shohei doesn’t care enough about winning if he’s gonna have days off against division rivals. Los Angeles media should make up narratives and push him out of town tbh.
I’m 100% sure that Zac Gallen is pitching a gem tonight against the Dodgers. He has an ERA of 5.16 and his advanced stats are even worse, but tonight he’s gonna find an extra 2mph on the fastball and look sharp as ever. Guaranteed.
Manny Machado turns 34 in July.
He is having a truly dreadful season:
.609 OPS | -13 Rdrs/yr | -0.4 WAR
The San Diego Padres still owe him $286 million over the next 7½ years.
Will this go down as one of the 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗟𝗕 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆?
That's 8 losses in the last 9 games for the Padres. In those losses, they've scored a total of 15 runs.
They have the worst offense in baseball, and there's no help on the way.
@Barrelldelphia We need some pop & guy who can do it in October. He brings both of those things. He also plays with an edge and we missed that with Profar gone last year. This team feeds off that
