mmmmmbeeer

There's an NBA game 7 on tonight, at least.

This is ridiculous.

Outside of Jose, there's no one in this lineup I'd rather see up with a man in scoring position.

As much as I can't fucking stand the guy, do you remember how many dumb plays Yolmer would make? Mr. Gold Glove? I just can't stand these self-anointed experts on a message board calling people busts or overrated after, literally, like 10-15 ML games in their young careers. New fields, new hitters, new lighting, general nerves/anxiety as a new guy...you name it, he's still adjusting.

He graded out at 60 on both fielding and running....by people who scouted him extensively. He's played in, what, 10-15 ML games? A little early for "very overrated", imo.

This one, yet again, you could pin on Ricky without much of a stretch. Absolutely no reason to bring a struggling Cordero into a 1 run game in the 6th. His ERA is now over 5 with a WHIP nearing 1.5. Blatant mismanagement, again. oh, and Ricky...don’t think we didn’t notice you had your boy Yolmer on deck behind Mazara.

Tuned in late but see DK was pulled after 85 pitches and 1 run? Is he hurt or did he just look bad his last inning?

He pulled the ball in the 9th. Haven’t seen much of that. I’m hopeful.

We’re just starting to catch glimpses of what Robert is going to become. He talked about “slumping”, which we all recognized, to an extent. Now? 3 barrels and a GWHR yesterday. A dong and two critical RBI today. This dude is about to take the baseball world by storm.

Yolmer coming back will cost this team because Ricky loves him. Y’all can disagree with me tonight but just watch...it’s going to cost us

I respectfully disagree. I get where you’re coming from but when a run is needed, I liked Dyson there. Yolmer is no threat to steal.

Robert came through but Ricky potentially cost us the winning run by putting in his old buddy Yolmer instead of Dyson, who could have stole second

Ricky going to Ricky. Perfect spot for Dyson to come in and steal second

That was a good time for a squeeze

He's like a recurring nightmare that just won't go away. Ricky about to Ricky.

I think this boosts confidence within the ranks of our roster that the FO trusts them and wants to see what they can accomplish. Super glad they stood pat.

The swings we were seeing by DET and KC hitters, coupled with his control, screams #2, possibly a very strong #3 on a loaded staff. I haven't been that impressed by a couple of rookie starts in a very long time.

I've never claimed to be some miLB expert. I know the Padres and Sox both have solid systems. I'd imagine the talents of 7,9, and 11 are fairly similar between the two systems. If not, instead of getting on my ass, how about you experts offer up what you think the Sox equivalent would be?

I'm going by prospect ranking...7,9 and 11.

Steiver, Thompson, Sheets as mLB talent....with Collins, Marshall, and maybe Mendick as MLB throw ins?

Not giving up a top 5 prospect for a #2/#3 MLB pitcher with team control would seem to be a win for SD.

Cantillo 9th ranked in their system Arias 7th Miller 11th Quantrill MLB Hedges MLB Naylor MLB

I can't recall a team ever being so aggressive at a deadline. Crazy. Not sure it's wise to go all-in in a shortened season with an expanded playoff and the Dodgers in your division, but give them props for trying.

WAKE THE FUCK UP, RICKY!!!!

He nibbles when ahead instead of just going at hitters. Starts his slider too far outside so hitters give up early. When he’s yanking the fastball, they need to call some knuckle curves to get him back on top of the ball.
