Padres Place Ramón Laureano On Injured List Due To Finger Fracture September 27: The Padres officially placed Laureano on the 10-day injured list today, per a club announcement. What good defense playing RH power hitters were available on September 27th????? The story of this game isn't going to be that Bryce Johnson would have come through in those situations. One was a really good play by Swanson. Edited September 30, 2025Sep 30 by caulfield12
September 30, 2025Sep 30 Starting to think a long Cubs' postseason run might actually put some pressure on Jerry Reinsdorf to spend. But nah...

September 30, 2025Sep 30 Cease will either get bombed or pitch a gem...odds against his former team, well, not going to bet it either way.

September 30, 2025Sep 30 Jed gets a lot of criticism, but he did an incredible job putting together a good bullpen on the fly after a bad start.
September 30, 2025Sep 30 Wouldn't be shocked if Estrada gave up 2-3 here...have to save Suarez but he rarely goes more than one inning anyway.

September 30, 2025Sep 30 Padres just not nearly as good with RISP this year. And their rotation is a complete mess after Pivetta...at least after M.King got hurt.

Well it doesn't really matter. Need to do a retooling...limited budget now and lower draft picks and can't buy out international classes anymore. Maybe they shake things up and trade Machado....try to build around Merrill and Tatis.

September 30, 2025Sep 30 Have to start cheering for Milwaukee/Vaughn... Keller another feather in Getz's cap lol. Blow up the Padres. At least they have had four playoff series victories since 2020...but this is just not their year. Edited September 30, 2025Sep 30 by caulfield12
