@JasonLSwitzer Dudes talking like he doesnt have any influence on why the Padres are so bad right now..

[Leon ⁷ ¹⁰ @LeonErikZ]

What's so hard to understand for so many people about that this is a bad thing? Charlie explains it perfectly

[ERstar @ERstar0712]

We're seeing a team get progressively worse to the point that their fundamentals are awful. What good is keeping Stammen if he's made the players worse? At this point, the only reason Stammen is still the manager and nobody has been fired is because he's friends with the FO..

Another reason to hate Sony..

The vibes from the Padres game today..

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

On the same day Sony told a billion gamers to embrace digital forever, it quietly showed them the catch.

Two announcements, one blog, an hour apart.

First: from January 2028, no new PlayStation game will ship on a disc, digital only.

Second, buried below: Sony is closing the online stores for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, so you will no longer be able to buy games there at all.

Read together, they are not two stories. They are the whole argument about what you actually own.

A disc is the last thing in your home a Silicon Valley company cannot reach. A PlayStation game from 1994 still works today, and the law lets you resell it, lend it, keep it forever.

That is ownership. It is protected by something called the first-sale doctrine, and it applies to physical objects. It does not apply to digital purchases. That is not Sony being cruel. That is the quiet legal truth underneath the whole shift.

Sony's own spokesperson said it plainly today. With all digital content, you are not buying the game. You are buying a personal license for non-commercial use. Not the thing. Permission to use the thing, which depends on the company's servers and goodwill. They once pulled a game called Concord two weeks after launch. Buyers got refunds, but the game itself simply vanished.

This was never really about discs versus downloads. It is about moving the largest entertainment medium on Earth from a world where you own an object the law protects, to one where you hold access the law treats as rented.

Convenient, cheaper, and easier for almost everyone. Also revocable in a way a disc never was.

The click of a disc into a console was ownership. The download is permission. Sony just showed you, in a single morning, how differently the two age.

Do you agree with what Sony did??

Mason Miller is the most dominant pitcher I’ve ever seen and yet you are seeing why that trade was still complete malpractice.

Your starters are horrific and you have the worst offense in baseball but hey, at least you have a closer who sits around 5-6 games a week.

MLB's version of Brandon Staley

[97.3 The Fan @973TheFanSD]

Craig Stammen discussed his thoughts on the difference in tonight's game, the Padres' at-bats with runners in scoring position and if he considered having Mason Miller start the 9th inning:

[ERstar @ERstar0712]

We've still yet to see the "good things" that Stammen talks about with the offense.

[San Diego Padres @Padres]

Final.

[ERstar @ERstar0712]

Halfway through the season and the Padres still don't know what they want to be. Stammen is way in over his head, offense is still bad, pitching is wearing down, and it doesn't feel like it'll get better until changes are made.

The Mets gave up a devastating 3 run homer and the broadcast cuts to Norwegian fans having the time of their life and dancing

@geoffkeighley F-Zero

[ERstar @ERstar0712]

Yet another missed opportunity to end the game. This team inspires no confidence and its crazy this staff has gotten this much grace for no real reason other than neoptism..

[San Diego Padres @Padres]

Final.

[ERstar @ERstar0712]

Both Merrill and Machado were 0-5 while Tatis and Bogey were 0-4 with 1 walk each? Also the pitching hasnt been very good lately. Almost halfway through the season and we still dont know what this team wants to be...

[San Diego Padres @Padres]

Final.

[ERstar @ERstar0712]

This team is who it is at this point. No amount of pitching, both starting and the bullpen, can overcome the worst offense in baseball. The expensive players look disinterested. Theres no way Stammen cant still be thinking it'll magically turn around eventually. Fire Steven Souza

Still having trouble beating good teams recently. Doesn't help we got shut out...again.

Wow. Im not even going to blame the offense this time (though its still bad). Canning was just bad today..
