Mize’s velo after 11 or 12 days off has gone from interesting to do-or-die.
Preller fans are exclusively people who think GMs are either stupid or cowards
Padres Twitter Bot@padres-bot.bsky.social · 2d ago@TooMuchMortons_ tweeted This is why I basically stopped hating on Preller. I get why people want him gone but let’s not act like a value hugger will get the job done either. Gimme the psycho who tries to go for it. 💬 @TalkinBaseball_ Valid @ChrisRose crash out https://t.co/Ws0NgLmClr
I want to hate on Arenado but the first baseman should’ve gotten it. But also fuck Arenado.
Now that pitching chaos is over, I guess King doesn’t have to worry about going deep in games anymore.
The Padres have been benefiting from some bad base running lately.
Wait, Mize’s velo was down in his last start??
The offense *has* looked good over the past month, but our two biggest contributors have been France and Rengifo. Fermin’s also top 5 in wRC+.
Two rentals for an aging team that realistically has an LDS ceiling is actually kind of depressing.
4/5ths of the rotation (assuming Joe comes back) and 2/3rds of the back of the bullpen are going to be FA.
The big key is that the Dbacks didn’t do shit.
The Twins tried to trade Larnach for a RHRP, so this seems pretty obvious. Abreu is a FA, though.
Owners not swooping in to bail Preller out in a season with an LDS ceiling???

Padres Twitter Bot@padres-bot.bsky.social · 2d ago@TooMuchMortons_ tweeted Owners not forking up money cost us Joniel? 💔 💬 @dennistlin The Giants will take half the money owed to Robbie Ray, including half the $1 million assignment bonus, in the trade to San Diego, a source tells @extrabaggs.
@Padres_Farm tweeted It’s like the Padres are just good enough to continue milking yall at Petco 😂
FG hasn’t updated yet but Ray should jump the rotation from 28th to 23rd.
With the caveat that there’s still 3.5 hours left, the projected WCS rotation is three guys who likely hit FA after the season.
Ray having a so-so to bad season but whipped our ass on Thursday so of course we got him.
I’m watching Foul Territory (because the other options are so bad) and they had Bowden on explaining why the Dodgers offer for Skubal was the best, and then Pierzynski came on and went on a rant that made it clear he wasn’t listening to Bowden, and that really sums up baseball media.
