@Padres@itsFatherJoe44 I didn’t realize so many people are assholes about athletes getting hurt. Baseball players can get hurt and they get paid whether or not they are healthy. Why the anger?
@TheFootyFeed Haha. You don’t think Mexican fans are capable of disrupting every high end hotel in CDMX just to be sure they cover all possibilities? ENG has no chance tomorrow.
@DuckedOut84@dennistlin Agree that a lot of talent has been traded away (and acquired). With that said, zero of the players traded away are top tier SP. Inability to develop SP is a core defect of this org.
@DuckedOut84@dennistlin Which SPs traded away in last 6 years are killing it? I can’t think of one. Gore? Kolek? Paddack? Zach Davies? Not one. No $ to retain Snell, Lugo (and Cease?) are the real reasons.
@dennistlin 60% of the rotation and most of the pitching $ is tied up in 3 guys who have combined pitched 2 (?) games this year. 2+ months of underperforming offense. It was only a matter of time. Not Stammen’s fault. The contracts you all want to dump have no trade clauses. Retool for ‘27.
@TooMuchMortons_ Perfect storm of bad results. Pivetta, Musgrove, Darvish - 60% of rotation and bulk of SP $ and they are all hurt. Bad 1/2 years for Merrill, Manny, Tatis, and X. Our best SP (King) would not make the pen on most contenders. Sell and bundle to get rid of X or Manny contract too.
@Padres Tuned out due to the shit play last night. Good decision. World Cup is more interesting. Will be back if your players put their heads in the game consistently. That’s a long shot.
@TooMuchMortons_ Machado has not been as good as his numbers indicate, and his numbers are dogshit. If Machado is on the decline it’s going to be a long, long period of mediocrity unless the new owners want to pay him $250MM to go away.
@gustav0cardenas The US will be on a permanent rotation for the World Cup going forward. I’d guess every 12 years. The money in FIFA’s pocket is too good to ignore.
@AlScott1998 If you could somehow get rid of either Bogaerts or Machado’s contract, you’d get of Machado 100 times out of 100. Tells you all you need to know. X will age much better.
