the increasingly desperate nature of the communications i'm receiving from the padres about renewing season tickets is bringing me a little joy this morning.
Genuinely curious how the fans are supposed to “fight back”? Are we supposed to sell out every game? Oh, that’s right. We already do that. Any excuse for that awful show to blame the fanbase. It’s exhausting.
thinking about running for office and my only policy position is "all of the j6'ers should be executed"
sending dms or comments on players pages after they do badly or get injured is maybe the worst part about modern sports, but i am having trouble summoning much sympathy for jason adam's wife suggesting that "these players are real people with real families!!!!!"
i can't even remember which article that one's from, most of the man's career highlights are saying dumb shit
hey pal listen i know it's been a rough week but i got you something. it's called "the faith" and i want you to keep it.
there's not enough room in the fridge for all the impending events i want to celebrate with champagne. might have to switch to the mini bottles
lmao fuck off forever luis arraez
what the FUCK is mike shildt doing here? bryce johnson hits for himself, will wagner pinch hits against a lefty, and now jackson's pinch running?
Post game conference Kevin Acee: “any updates on Jason Adam’s knee?” Mike Shildt: “I just really don’t understand the question. These are a bunch of GAMERS. Why would you draw attention to something like that? Do you hate me? We almost won and would have if you would be more positive!! 🖕”
the reason that i feel morally and spiritually superior to the toxic positivity part of the fanbase is that i just saw one of them say "i hope they completely flame out and miss the playoffs" like god damn dude, i have predicted that they will do that but i don't HOPE that they do it
i am not accepting feedback from anyone who doesn't remember huston street's set up man kevin quackenbush
fernando tatis jr. got on the mic at fanfest and asked everyone "who do you want to see us play in the world series," WHILE HE WAS STILL FUCKING SUSPENDED
"don't jump on the bandwagon" was like mid-april, there really wasn't ever a fun time with that group
casuals will tell you the start of the season was fun, but yuli gurriel, jason heyward, and martin maldonado were all STARTING! only idiots fell for it
the padres have been fun for precisely 14 days this year lmao
SUPER PEN!
suarez in the 7th, is shildt finally taking a close game seriously?
i'm an acquired taste
adam jones taught him that posting is more important than anything else, it's not surprising that he thinks everything else will be handed to him if he just shows up
then at the end of the most disappointing season in franchise history he proudly abdicated his role as leader of the team on the record and in a way that blamed everyone else.
bat the worst hitter on the team lead off so that he can bunt over the guy batting 9th after he reaches on an error.... we're witnessing true baseball genius here, folks
earlier don said the padres have the best record in the majors when the opponent scores first and they are 3 games under .500 in those games lmao
cease giving up a double the instant don leans close to the camera to show off his bobblehead is 😘🤌
god i wish we had an interim manager i bet that's so cool
more weird padres injury news
i don't care about anyone's salary in 2026 since 2027 won't exist
ha seong kim on the braves might be my last straw
you have to combine at least 3 padres hitters to put together 40 home runs this year
extremely funny (derogatory) that "get your head in the game" is the marketing tag line they're using for a shitty manny machado giveaway
Have seen a lot of people say “it’s August he’s always like this in August” as though that’s ok
Why is Jersey mikes open this early and not serving breakfast of any kind? what kinda fucking psychopath is going for a lunch meat sub first thing in the morning
Padres hitters (min. 1 PA) since trade deadline, September 1st Edition:
Just thought about who the Padres might call up with rosters expanding and started laughing
BREAKING: The Newest season of the hit show “Love Island USA” will feature the Imperial Japanese Battleship Yamato attempting to beach herself as part of Operation Heaven. The Yamato joins F4U Corsairs, SBC2 Helldivers, and F6F Hellcats for what will undoubtedly be an exciting season.
Hot take: The opening battle scene of Gladiator (2000) is one of the most unreadable, terribly shot action set pieces in cinematic history
Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing
sliding into mike shildt's ex wife's DMs to make a point
do you think shildt pretends to be confused by the question or like his character has been called into question when his wife asks him to take the garbage out
Same, Joe.
thank you luke littler for restoring sports normalcy and smashing that northern irish knobhead
they're 29th in the league generating runs against fastballs in the aj preller era, and it doesn't get that much better if you cut out the early years. a fundamentally terrible baseball organization incapable of solving problems.
i don't think wandy peralta is the right choice for anything except "guy you kill and eat first in an extreme survival situation"
it's frankly dangerous to continue letting this dipshit play the field, but apparently he turns into a clubhouse cancer when he doesn't
utterly unacceptable to lose a series to these guys in a pennant race. closed door meeting, fire shildt, ritually sacrifice luis arraez, idk what will help but they gotta do SOMETHING
popping it straight up at home plate is the most embarrassing thing you can do on a baseball field
going all in at the deadline and giving kyle hart innings on august 31st lmao
Greenshot
thank goodness the darts are on same time as baseball. the padres are less disappointing as a second screen experience
luis arraez should be pitching right now
fouling out to a position player god damn dude have some self respect
jeremiah estrada in to hold a 9 run lead lmao
cardinals tried, he's somehow returned from exile and is now wildly mismanaging a campaign and his best troops are shitting the bed
same dipshit vibes
Nestor was already being replaced when he got tossed
it's not that this team doesn't have slapdicks who can close out 3 innings with a 7 run lead, it's that mike shildt used all of them in a close game last night lol
magic: the gathering running ads during baseball games is absolutely incredible stuff
luis arraez getting increasingly frustrated that the pitcher's garbage is too garbage for even him to swing at
james doubleman
i wish i could disappear at work for more than a month and experience absolutely no negative consequences
i've never seen a team more eager to brag about the ways in which it is dogshit than the san diego padres
They’re fucked unless several pumpkins turn back into carriages and Mike Shildt has a case of season-ending be somewhere else
how can you be in charge of a baseball team and watch your manager put your worst hitter in the 2 hole and have him sac bunt every night and not do anything about it? we should destroy aj preller
let's go bunting mental
“The president might be dead and/or we might be invading Venezuela” somehow still doesn’t even crack the top 10 weirdest moments in all of this
starting a "trump is in a box" chant at the next military sunday
maybe this is why manny machado is sucking ass
Whenever it happens we'll be getting this for like five days before anyone admits the obvious.
luis arraez is a bad podcast away from being the next eric hosmer
anyone who says "that's baseball" in august in a pennant race when the team looks like this is a loser and you shouldn't talk to them
this has "closed door meeting" written all over it
zero excuse to lose to this team at this point in the season, but shildt will find a way
i've been trying
shildt's gonna tank this team by playing arraez and iglesias every day 👍
he's actually quite short it's like watching hasbulla play darts
thinking about how unrealistic it would sound back in december to say that the season might be in jeopardy because xander bogaerts broke his foot
they should leave luis arraez in minnesota this weekend. this is all their fault really
did you know dimitri van den bergh has a brother and he's an absolute unit @purples.bsky.social
not a bigger knobhead in all of the darting world than darryl gurney... trash walk on, trash nickname, trash behavior
NHS needs to offer counseling to bald guys you don't gotta hang on like this man
I don’t think Shildt is so dumb that he doesn’t know you should get your best hitters the most ABs, but I definitely think he’s so dumb that he thinks Arraez is one of his best hitters
The 2 spot in order has gained a ton of priority over last decade as it's become evident it's a spot for your best hitter. San Diego has just 6 HR there, fewest (full season) mark in a decade. Schwarber hit nearly as many 2-spot HR in 3 hrs last night as SD in 5 months. stathead.com/tiny/IgP2G
she's a beaut
if you need something to look forward to it's that ashlii babbitt's rotted, traitorous corpse may one day be dug up again and removed from whatever place of "honor" these fascist turds are going to grant it
thinking about the people who said policy doesn't matter and newsom is good because someone on his team is dunking on the president on twitter
and now?
didn't one of these things already encourage someone to basically do suicide by cop? full service industry if they add in a human calling the cops on you
angels fans' favorite thing about the padres was the "tv broadcast overall" and i just have to ask what the fuck is wrong with their broadcast that they liked ours? don and mud are great, but that doesn't make up for the fact that they broadcast games for the home shopping network
these guys look like shit
manny machado continues to be almost entirely fucking useless since he said this.
boy i'm sure glad we have such a tough guy manager lmaaaooooo
Never mind manny still sucks it’s Joever
Can’t believe what I’m seeing the team’s best hitter is batting 2nd and it’s worst hitter is on the bench we are so back
would be special to reel off 8 or 9 in a row with luis arraez firmly on the bench
