I occasionally throw bets in on College Football and UFC with my buddies just for fun…. …. But I’m not touching baseball or basketball and I don’t know why anyone would.

If we could extend him on a front-loaded deal where he gets his fair market value in money overall but lowers the payroll burden if he’s hurt in the back half of the deal, I think that’d be the way to go. Not deferred money, just hyper skewed towards the next two-four years.

The nice thing about the Skubal situation is that we made the playoff last year, are off to a good start this year, and have a top 3 farm system. Last year at the trade deadline it was looking bleak with us being nearly out of the playoff hunt and with Carp hurt and Tork and Meadows in the minors…..so there was reason to entertain trade offers for Skubal for future pieces. Now—there’s not much of a reason for us to deal Skubal strategically….so that changes the mentality of everything.

We are trading Kriedler for Ohtani and LA is eating the full contract too

Good win. It’d be huge to win this series

Umps have really screwed JHM in good hitting counts this year

Who gets the 9th?

What? 6 runs isn’t enough for you any more?

Has anyone ever hit a HR into the Little Caesar glove?

Bert Satisfaction: Achieved

They were talking to Paws about being the only cat at bark in the park day

Now they’re going after Babe Nido

If Montero can settle and get a couple quick innings here, he may save us from burning the pen at the start of the series and not having to use Maeda….

I love bark at the park….. However, sitting at home watching the game on tv at home is driving my dogs insane. They hear barking in the background on tv, don’t know where it’s coming from, and are zooming all over the house and in the back yard trying to figure out what’s going on.

I really miss Gwynn Sr. One of my favorite players ever.

Dude, give Nido a ten year 200 million dollar contract extension

When was the last time we’ve seen someone wear #98?

I wouldn’t have minded Kriedler if he was just a late inning defensive replacement, but with how Hinch manages this roster he was simply playing too much for his lack of offense.

Well…..when healthy. I don’t think he ever lost the ability to see pitches and stay balanced at the plate—he just lost a lot of his physical ability to match the mental ability

Put me down for hating the Manfred runner rule

It’s a quote from every uninvolved parent who gets upset at the teacher that their child can’t perform at grade level.

Good. I was getting annoyed with them last deadline for how much they were demanding in trades that would net them all-stars

Ugh good defensive alignment
