Here for my SD Padres, Everton & all the tech, investment & blockchain visionaries I track for newsfeed purposes. Twitter Lurker since 2007 SxSw 😬 Work for PE

@theBeerkid69 Musgrove has a 7.1 BB9 (his BB% has went up as he’s gone up levels from A to A+ from 11.8% to 15.5%), 1.86 WHIP & 4.52 FIP - he’s not “clearly” better than the competition yet.

Like others have said, his stuff is off the charts but he still is raw & needs further refinement.

This feels so much like Nola 2.0 where the org invested so much into a bad asset and are slow to move away from it. Easy to cut Castellanos who cost nothing but when you stupidly trade two controllable assets it’s harder to let go.

[Giannis Auntiegotapoodle @TooMuchMortons_]

Durán has much better underlying numbers than Fermin it’s a bad job by Stammen to use Fermin as the primary catcher

[Jeff McDonald @JMAC_Baseball]

Fermin 0 for last 26 over last 9 starts. Solid stuff. Avg 133 and ops 404. Zero business being in the Majors

[rich @rich_roberts]

I swear something’s not right with Fermin, possibly as a result of that two-ish week stretch where he was just eating fouled off pitches to the face and body. And when Camp comes back, I think I prefer Duran stays up over Fermin, and it might not be close for me either.

@TevinMcreynolds They’re cheering on the first place Padres.

[rich @rich_roberts]

Against all odds, this team has secured at least a .500 road trip through two tough places to play and has beaten Logan Gilbert and the Miz. Just enjoy the ride, man. What else can you say.

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

Strandy Vazquez is truly Yu Darvish’s spiritual successor.

[Francis Alipranti (Papa Frank) @fxalipranti_]

This is what a Randy Vasquez start looks like. I really appreciate him.

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

@dennistlin @AJCassavell it would be great to get an answer from the team/hitting coaches about what looks like a systemic problem, not just individual slumps.

[Jeff McDonald @JMAC_Baseball]

Laureano 2 for last 30 with 15Ks
Manny 3 for last 36 with 11 Ks
Merrill 2 for last 22 with 10 Ks
Tatis 7 for 38 with 12 Ks
Add it up and its 14 for 126, 111 avg and a 37% K rate
Never gonna maintain a winning record with those 4 alleged sluggers that pathetic.

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

@JasonLSwitzer Like Yordan?

[Danny @dannybarrand_]

I mean I genuinely would rather watch Salas up here than Fermin

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

Tatis Jr. is human; this bandwagon idiot doesn’t represent all Padres fans, certainly not me.

Nando is a Padre; I will always root for him as long as he’s a Padre - he’s given me more to cheer for in his time so far than this mistake & his recent slump…Keep the Faith.

[Connor @23cmcpadres]

Fernando Tatis Jr jogging after the ball that got by him and on to the warning track is the worst part of all of this. I don’t care if he’s hitting baseballs 140 mph. He has 0 homers and is now doing stuff like this. Bench him. Do something. It’s over.

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

Good breakdown on Tatis’ constant batting stance tinkering and swing mechanics here, worth a read.

[Aram Leighton @AramLeighton8]

Fernando Tatis Jr. just struggled through the worst month of his career. He has yet to pull a fastball in the air.

He tinkers as much as any hitter in the game, which we saw throughout a successful year in 2025.

So what’s his best foot forward in 2026? https://t.co/i0PefzxQZ4

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

@TooMuchMortons_ Yesssssss more helium for Skubal trade bait!!!

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

@5149jamesli Someone forget that Peter Seidler made his fortune through Seidler Equity Partners, a Private Equity firm LOL

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

@MartyCaswell @FriarTerritory 5th inning when Walker got pulled out

[Nine @HeadedNine]

My fertilizer/agriculture vehicle of choice here is $AGRO.

Tether, the guys buying more tons of physical gold every week than central banks, are a major shareholder. They are buying physical gold, gold royalty companies, and this. Real assets.

South American exposure to fertilizer, sugar, farmland, et al.

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

@tleilax___ Brazil at least can buy Urea, Sugar & Ethanol from $AGRO

[GoPads @ehnprodigy]

@Kacper_PK_CH Adecoagro SA $AGRO is well positioned to benefit esp. after their acquisition of South America’s largest Urea producer Profertil and they are the strategic low-cost producer leveraging fixed natural gas costs guaranteed through to the end of 2027 w/massive margin expansion opty.
