BREAKING: Blake Snell to sign 7 year 210M contract with
#Padres
. Blake to be paid $1 + a new pair of shoes + 1 video game worth $60 or less for all 7 years with the remaining 209M deferred across the next 3 generations of Snells.
Someone just suggested to Snell on twitch that Paddack should do stand up. Snell’s response: “Paddack should do sit down. That mf not funny at all” lmfao
There were several comments from Matty V about the Dodgers being banged up. Just so it’s clear: the Padres were playing with their 4th and 5th OF plus backup catcher in the lineup. Ramirez pitched the 6th cause Kela is on the IL. This was SD’s 17th game in 17 days.
In 2 years the Padres have gone from Freddy Galvis and Christian Villanueva as the starting SS/3B to Tatis and Machado who lead their respective positions in WAR across all of baseball. Incredible.
Andy Green: I’m really excited to get to compete in Chicago after spending 4 years rebuilding in San Diego
Cubs: send their best player to San Diego in a salary dump signaling a rebuild
Last night we had people over and one person talked baseball with me and we got to talking Manny Machado. He told me he couldn’t stand Manny cause he’s a thug. So, I paused, took a deep breath, and told him every way he’s wrong. In this house there won’t be Manny slander.
The Padres increased season ticket prices and will subsequently cut payroll by 50M, let their manager walk to a division rival, and keep an executive who has led them to consistent disappointment for a decade. Fuck. That.
If the Padres win today the NLCS turns into a best of 3 in which the Padres have home field. So important. No matter what though Yu gets another chance, which means Snell gets another chance, which means Joe gets another chance. They can do this shit.
Franmil Reyes stops at 2nd after doubling for his first hit with the Indians. He instinctively turns to the dugout and starts to do the sugarcane chop and realizes there are new faces looking out at him. He puts his arms down without chopping while his new teammates cheer 💔
If Manny saw this and was like “you know what? I’ve made enough. Let’s restructure to defer 300M of my contract” MLB and Ken Rosenthal would shit their pants and scream unfair and the Padres are broke lol
Padres sold high on Ruiz. Lamet just hasn't been the same since the injury. Gasser is a replaceable prospect, esp considering the Padres 2022 draft class. Hader > Rogers. Padres saved 2M. From a baseball perspective I think this was really a no brainer for SD.
Joe Musgrove: born and raised a Padres fan in San Diego. About to sign the largest extension for a pitcher in Padres history after representing them in the ASG. The dude is literally living my dream as a kid and I couldn’t be happier for it lol
I don’t hate Eric Hosmer cause he sucks at baseball. I hate him cause he sucks and he won’t improve because he thinks what he brings is good enough. He’s the biggest impediment to a Padres pennant and it’s not close.
Hoz is so frustrating. Consistently does stuff like this on defense to cost the Padres outs/runs. Could be an amazing hitter if he got the ball in the air consistently, but nah, he knows the value he brings. Hope his bat stays hot, but damn has he had a frustrating 5 years in SD
“I didn’t feel like I hit you that hard, you know?” Bauer said.
At another point, the woman asked Bauer, “How many times do you think you, like, hit my head?”
“I’m not sure,” Bauer said. “It wasn’t that many.”
As a devout human against child molestation, I am deeply troubled by Trevor Williams’ decision to be a part of the Catholic Church. A MLB game is a place where people shouldn’t have to be reminded about the countless incidents of child abuse committed by Catholics.
Just a reminder Manny is dealing with tennis elbow and a sprained ankle. Hasn’t hit the IL once and has put the team on his back all fucking year. My all time favorite player 🤩🤩🤩
Being told by a source who writes for the Padres that it appears Nick Castellanos’ decision is not far away. And today might not be a total loss for the Padres.
Tbh I think it’s insane how many people have turned against BoMel. Dude is a 3x manager of the year who’s been successful everywhere he’s gone. He doesn’t always make the right call (no one does) but he’s far from the issue. Last night Garcia has to do his job.
In 2018 the Orioles traded Manny Machado away cementing rebuild time
In 2019 the Padres signed Manny Machado
In 2023 the Orioles will win more games than any Padres team in the Preller era.
Damn ya’ll. Azocar saw like 3 or 4 pitches with the Padres down to their final strike and found a way to get on, push the winning run into scoring position, and Alfaro delivers. What a fucking win
I don’t care that it was just 1 game, that is the most fun I’ve had watching a regular season baseball game in like 2 years. The vibes were immaculate tonight
If I’m BoMel I’m taking away Blake’s Xbox until he has a 6 inning start. Threatening to take my Xbox away worked great for my parents and I think it’ll work here too
Rick Sutcliffe: if you want to start a franchise with 1 player I’m going with Kershaw cause you need an ace to win all the World Series that Kershaw has won.
Jake Cronenworth: we can really feel that fan momentum against the Dodgers when you guys cheer! Please do that more!!
Fans: go crazy for a 5 run lead
Padres: lol
I watched the Padres religiously for 15 years before 2020. This season was horribly disappointing, but there’s nothing 2007-19 didn’t prepare me for hurt wise. I’ve been dead inside about the Padres since I was in elementary school :) excited for the 2022 WS chase in SD tho
The Padres are using machines during BP. Looks like a couple different angles/pitch types. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that, it’s always just been a coach throwing to them when I’ve been here early
You could not pay me any sum of money to leave a World Series game early. All this talk about Philly fans being the hungriest for it and how it has been just “so long” for them. Buncha fakes.
The Padres play in an NLCS game again tomorrow and I don't get tired of this feeling. I'm so excited and so nervous, and I hate it and I love it. LFGSD!!!
Wearing a mask is such an inconsequential part of my life that I could not care less about this. I’m fine being fully vaccinated and continuing to wear my mask at places like grocery stores. Haven’t been really sick since before the pandemic - masks are cool by me.
#BREAKING
: Californians will have to return to wearing face masks at all indoor public settings -- regardless of vaccination status -- starting this week, state health officials announce
Manny Machado MVP season incoming. Tatis injury motivates Seidler to blow past CBT thresholds and acquire 2 more legit bats. 2nd half Padres will be unstoppable. That’s all I got as far as positive maybe thoughts that’s don’t actually make me feel better
Juan Soto specifically saying “we’re coming for a COUPLE” of championships when he only has a COUPLE of years till free agency???? Juan is not signing an extension confirmed 😔
Wil praises Preller for being honest with him about trade possibilities the same week Hosmer complains about a lack of transparency and the way they do things here. Hm 🧐

@wilmyers
is a seasoned vet when it comes to trade rumors. He discussed Bob Melvin's immediate presence, Preller's candor & his 6th hitting coach
"With rumors, it is what it is, I'm paid to play & have a good attitude doing it."
Juan Soto’s 2 full seasons with the Padres are going to be squandered by petty bullshit from AJ Preller. This is Juan’s last season here and we’re going with a new manager again hired by AJ Preller. Just fucking disastrous levels of incompetence from the entire org. Fuck.
Pham robbed again. Throw this game in the trash. But before you do don’t forget it’s a 0-0 tie if the Padres selected a random fan from the crowd to play 1B tonight
I don’t know how you can not feel for Fernando. Yeah, he messed up, he put himself in that situation, but damn who hasn’t put themselves in a shitty situation before? What Fernando did was human, can’t wait to support him all year.
