    I must give some props to Manaea. I thought he was done being a legit guy. He's been very good this year. Kudos. I also love this Jose Iglesias story. What a season he's had.

    Jomboy Media (@jomboymedia) • Instagram reel WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM 21K likes, 691 comments - jomboymedia on October 8, 2024: "Manny Machado throws a ball at the Dodgers dugout and Dodgers fans throw trash at the Padres players, a breakdown #mlb #baseball #sports #padres #dodgers #mannymachado #fernandotatisjr". There is a really good Jomboy breakdown of it, including some better views of the ball Manny threw at their dugout. It actually did have some steam on it and it looks like it hit the top railing - right in front of Roberts....if it bounced a bit higher (like 3 inches), it certainly could have hurt Roberts who's head was down (and he wouldn't have expected it). Also all the s*** with Profar is included. Fans suck.

    Do people like Manny? I've always thought he was a little bitch. I don't have much respect for him. He's the one who started all this s*** after Tatis got hit and then Flaherty sat his lippy ass down. I don't mind the Padres at all, but I don't like Manny.

    Yeah - for sure. And to be fair - I expect there to be baseball on every night during the playoffs and I don't love having them overlap as I want to watch as much as I can. I also don't want games starting while I'm at work thank you very much
  5. Brownie19
    Yeah - it looks harmless. Although it was Teo at the top of the step who seems to initially take offense to it. Why would Manny do that though? Looks like just a warmup ball they threw around between innings? Wouldn't he typically flip that into the stands or throw it towards a ball boy? Just seems odd. At least Manny isn't throwing his bat at people like he did when he was younger.

    Bobby Witt has no hits yet either. Stars haven't shown up yet. As they said last night, if this happens in July - nobody even notices. The playoffs are a SSS world - you just hope you're swinging it well when it counts.
  7. Brownie19
    You were confused when the team landed star players coming off B2B 5-6 WAR seasons - right in the middle of their competitive window? That is bizarre.
  8. Brownie19
    Yeah - that's one of my biggest pet peeves of playoff baseball. Far too many off days. It doesn't mimic the regular season at all. The top RP's can pitch in almost every game. Depth becomes irrelevant. I guess you get to "see the best" more, but I'd rather they find a way to cut the # of off days to 1 or 2 per series. Bring back a little more strategy.

    Pretty impressive defensive work by Berti in his first ever start at 1st base
  10. Brownie19
    Oh he has - but he's 40 and hasn't hit since 2021 (like an 82 wRC+ since). This is pure luck that he's giving them any kind of production. It's literally like starting Cavan Biggio at 1st base. In fact, Biggio has been tangibly better than Yuli over the past 3 years. Maybe they gave Yuli a special cocktail.
  11. Brownie19
    Just noticed that Justin Turner finished the season with a 117 wRC+. No slug at all, but I think most would have taken that result when he first signed. At mid season, I'd have never thought he'd finish well above JD Martinez...
  12. Brownie19
    It's insane the Yuli Gurriel is starting for a playoff team. Insane. I can't believe they didn't add someone at the deadline.
  13. Brownie19
    That's ironic, as I think the Russell Martin deal was almost universally viewed as being a "great move".
  14. Brownie19
    On the back of JRam, Kwan and that incredible bullpen I guess. That bullpen had 4 guys with 1+ WAR, which is insane. To be honest, they aren't much different than the Tigers, Brewers and KC. You look at the lineup and go "what"? Cleveland is starting 4 guys with a wRC+ of 84 or less. It's actually quite ironic that 4 playoff teams are constructed primarily on pitching and defense.
  15. Brownie19
    Just read that Matthew Boyd is starting Game 2 for the Guardians. I mean good for him, but I never realized how awful their rotation is. I do love these kinds of stories. He's pitching about as well as he ever has right now.

    Drew Brees was also great into his 40's.

    Man - these Mets games seem like must watch TV. Some incredible playoff baseball so far. Love it.
  18. Brownie19
    I'd agree. Even if you believe the results are much more important than merits of the initial decision, the contract hasn't been "bad". When you combine it with the merits of the initial decision - it's hard to get too upset about this deal. If fans are upset at this deal - then they must not want any top FA's to sign because they call come with risk and outcomes that are outside of the team's control. I think we can move on though. I don't want to get skoool'd again.
  19. Brownie19
    Thanks for your contribution. This has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
  20. Brownie19
    I don't know why I bother, but here goes. After making the playoff in 2020 (earlier than most expected in a gimmick year) we signed the best FA available - a current star, to help us get over the top. He gave us a much better chance to win in 2021 and 2022 when the team had a legit shot. It's really unfortunate he's fallen off recently. The FO can't control or predict injuries or how players will decline in their early to mid 30's. They can't. Again, you're just focused on the results. If you expect GMs to be near perfect with these types of signings for fear they will make mistakes that will cost the team later in the contract, then you simply don't want GMs to sign big time free agents like Springer. I certainly wanted Springer on the team when the team was awesome in 2021, 2022 (and 2023). It can be a good signing, even if it doesn't completely work out and provide excess value. We aren't the Royals - we have enough payroll flexibility to go for it with top tier guys like Springer.

    I wasn't able to see the start of that game. Did Musgrove come out early hurt? Was there any indication that something was wrong?
  22. Brownie19
    I completely agree with all of that. Atkins has been balls in drafting and development - although he has been somewhat successful in dealing prospects for value. I'm confused why you're pulling this back to Aktins. I was just commenting on the Padres...
  23. Brownie19
    I can't wait until we sign Soto and in 2034 you come complain that his salary his hindering the team...
  24. Brownie19
    Musgrove needs TJS. Brutal blow for the Padres.
  25. Brownie19
    At this time of the year - I think all these series are so much fun. I love finding all the nuances that make them more interesting. It will be interesting to see if the Mets crazy run continues or not. I actually just noticed that JD Martinez took a nose dive in the 2nd half. Finished with a 108 wRC+ and isn't starting in the playoffs. Wonder if he's done as an impact bat or not. Could be a cheap deadcat bounce option for the Birds.
