Bye Freddie. Hung the banner. Likely will end up Dodger which makes our difficult back to WS difficult. I am not the booing type regardless.

[FrostKing]

AA is a great GM. Braves have been spoiled with them. This is good trade. We will be back in the NLCS but this illustrates why we always fell short in the 90s. Trying to build a dynasty cheaply. I will chop on, we have playoff team returning even if Freddie doesn't want to be a part of it

I am disappointed that Correa turned down a 5 year $160 million deal with the Astros and ended up signing a 3 yr 105 million dollar deal.

The Astros were offering $32 a year, while the Twins are offering $35.1....So yes, he would make 3 million a year more, but the cost of living is more expensive in Minnesota. Also, the Astros have built a winning culture, while the Twins have not. The Twins are good in the regular season, but they don't win in the postseason. Also, I am willing to bet that Houston has a much larger Hispanic population and more to do culturally than Minneapolis.

I think there was some tension between Correa and Ownership. Perhaps he felt slighted or something. I honestly thought he was going to sign a huge contract with the Yankees. Signing with the Twins, and it being just a few more a year than what the Astros offered was a swift and decisive kick to the nuts for us Astros fans.

Well, at least he isn't a Yankee and at least he left our division.

:lol Machado has never even been the worst contract on the Padres (that's Hosmer), much less the worst in baseball. Him and Hosmer had been the Padres' only offense up until the last week or two tbh. He's also been elite defensively (though that's to be expected). Regardless, if the bullpen's issues aren't addressed soon the Padres will fall out of the divisional picture by late June.

Manny was expected to become lazy and lose focus. If anything he seems to have become more involved as Tatis continues to injury himself. I'm impressed with that as much as his Bat. Glove solid too.

Sorry I TOTALLY disagree with you on a player's RIGHT to disrespect the flag. Professional athletes are paid exorbitant amounts of money to PLAY... They are NOT paid that money to make political statements while they are getting paid to play! If I started blathering on and on with MY political opinions and wore a shirt with a political statement when I was getting paid to work, management would politely call me into an office, close the door and politely and pointedly tell me that while I have a right to my opinions, they hired me to do the job they are paying me to do... NOT to express my political opinions on THEIR time.. Further, they would tell me to go home and put on a work appropriate shirt with NO political statement on it.. and then come back to work. I have 3 Let's Go Brandon t shirts that I wear regularly.. but I would NEVER consider wearing them at work because it would be inappropriate to do so.
Undoubtedly, they would also tell me that if I refused, I WOULD be fired.
Players DO NOT have a right to force their political opinions on the fans by kneeling, making gestures, or wearing uniforms with political statements on them while playing.
If said players were really THAT passionate about something, there are appropriate times and places to express their opinions. Doing so while you are being paid to play is NOT one of those appropriate times...PERIOD.. no arguments by you or anyone else on this issue

And we lost again.

Cubs were buzzing today after breaking their losing streak. Had a smart approach at the plate.

Braves arrived trying to slug in windy Wrigley and stayed stubborn. I get it a big part of Baseball is not panicking and making drastic changes just for a random 3 game series.

We play Giants & Dodgers next. Good measuring stick. Love these series.

Overall Braves money hitters - Acuna(lately has dipped), Riley and especially Olson are cold. So big picture there is still another level to reach IMO

agreed. they should probably avoid franchises that stockpile top picks, build an abnormally loaded roster, blatantly cheat and get away with it, then lose half their roster because the team fell so short of expectations and only barely won 1 championship when they should have won at least 3 with all the circumstances they had in their favor

Let’s break your statement down:

1. Stockpile picks: Stockpiling top picks means nothing if you don’t know how to draft. (look at the Orioles, Mariners, etc)
2. Build an abnormally loaded roster: What does this even mean? The Yankees have built loaded rosters for years lol Buying players doesn’t work anymore. (See Rangers) you MUST build through the draft. But the goal should be to have a loaded roster, by drafting.
3. You keep bringing up losing half the roster when the Astros keep winning and developing guys like Alvarez, Tucker, Peña because they develop starting pitching which is cheap and keeps their window open
4. They should have 2. Last year McCullers didn’t pitch in the WS. With the way ATL got hot they weren’t winning.

I'm intriguing on the conversation but when I look back on the 2021 World Series, the Astros bats went cold. Especially Bergman. I think Dusty gave the guys a chance to rebound and when he finally shuffled the lineup it was too late.

Braves were really deep and still are in 2022. Reminiscent of the Astros before they were hit with free agency. Ya we didn't face the Astros best version.

I still think we are the best team in 2022 but likely lose a Swanson and bullpen arms moving forward.

Bats did go cold, Braves also had better pitching and got more timely hits. Bringing Verlander back gives them much more depth. Switching out Correa who is elite defensively for a better Bat in Peña, and bringing in Meyers in CF has made them a more complete lineup, especially with Yordan’s ascension. Would definitely love a rematch.

"Sounds like they had to pick up the majority of the 46 million still owed to Hosmer to move him so they didn't get under the luxury tax, Barring a Meyer's trade in the works that means they'll pay the tax 2 years in a row with a near guarantee of next season too after adding Soto and Hader which is going to kick in the really heavy penalties.

Basically they've given themselves a 2 year window to win and pinned it all on Soto."

[Robz4000]

Don't like the move tbh. Figured Abrams would be involved, but losing Gore is a kick in the nads. Gotta hope Pomeranz and Morejon come back healthy and better than ever.

I think we all agree Padres aren't making Soto the first $500M man. Then if you can flip him before free agency then it's worth it.

As of now Padres are not guaranteed a Playoff home game. Likely traveling to Atlanta or New York.


Mets still no major deal. Dodgers have only added Gallo (for a legit prospect too). Phillies and Cardinals not making a big push either.

Think the Padres will tbh (or he'll take a shorter deal with more per year). He didn't take the deal with the Nats because the per year money wasn't on par with what recent guys of similar talent got.

IIRC with the new Wild Card format the first game would be in SD then the last two on the road.

This completes the deal as a total winner for Padres.
Losing Voit instead of Hosmer sucked.

Arcia popped his hammy last night. Probably season ender. In his place today...

Braves rookie Vaughn Grissom is the YOUNGEST player - at 21 years and 217 days - to hit a homer AND steal a base in his debut in AL/NL history.

Previous youngest? José Offerman (21 years, 284 days) in 1990.

Postseason Bob Melvin is 0-7 in elimination games.

From what I've seen of Melvinheimer this will continue.

Eh, Hader might just be a lateral move; he hasn't looked great this year. They also gave up Rogers and Lamet, so they still need more trades to shore up the bullpen. I give it a C with the potential to be a B+.

Babe Ohtahni 3 run HR off Cole to give Angels lead.

Thought for sure MOron Nevin would force reliever to throw meatballs to Judge including bottom of 9th.
Walks Judge and Stanton, then inexplicably next 3 Yankee batters hack at reliever Hegberts off the plate junk.

Fundamental baseball is so finished.

Nonetheless very happy that Ohtanis chance for a B2B MVP stayed alive tonight.

I hope Judge and Pujols hit their numbers. Marlins suck and the O’s don’t have enough left in the tank to make it, so don’t really give a shit who wins it, so long as it’s not Houston.

I wouldn’t have an issue with any of these matchups because it would be a ratings boon for the game…

Yankees vs Mets (Yankees in 5)
Yankees vs Dodgers (Dodgers in 6)
Yankees vs Cardinals (Cardinals in 7)

Every game is an adventure with Bob Melvinheimer.

Quality start by pitcher? Leave it to Bob and the Padres to waste it. 1 hitter by Snell tonight. Waiting to hear why he pulled him. Maybe legit reason but could just be Bob being Bob.

Escaped 4-3 in 10 innings to move closer to playoff wild card.

[Robz4000]

Yep, haven't been impressed with Melvin at all this year. His insistence on bunting running into scoring position needlessly has cost the Padres far more than its helped. He also routinely puts in the wrong bullpen guys for certain situations. That said, he's still much better than Tingler.
