But Tingler is the Padres manager. He shrugged off Machado being thrown behind and tossed his best young player under the bus.
Perhaps he’s de-escalating because they still play today and doesn’t want Tatis to get thrown at.
I heard him say that Tatis missed a sign. Was there more “throwing him under the bus” language than that?
Tingler wasn’t the one insinuating that “those” guys don’t know how to play baseball the proper way that he was raised with.
-
Actually listening to both Woodward and Tingler, Woodward’s comments come off worse to me.
-
Maybe Tingler, confused by these new 2020 rules, thought MLB instituted a game clock. And thought the could run up the gut for three downs then punt.
-
Texas should be thanking Tatis for knocking in four runs with one swing instead of bleeding them out and running up the pitch count.
I’m sure we can find some on here who will blame Manny for being thrown at.

It took 6 days. As of this morning, Texas 3,362, Maryland 3,334. Texas will leave Maryland in the dust now.
A little over a month later and TX has crossed over 10k deaths (10,396). MD’s total stands at 3639.
Yes, TX has a larger population than MD, but it may also pass CA by the end of the month.

Give this one a full shot.
This is really good. How do I tell what group this is?

The Soto at bat from today. He did not swing.
He got half of them right...is that good?
The tossing guys out from the stands is absurd. So thin skinned.
I think they should live read mean tweets about the umpire’s calls. Can’t accuse them of arguing balls and strikes.

Let's define the class:
Tatis
Soto
Alonso
McNeil
Acuna
Albies?
Bichette
Guerrero
BiggioWe going to throw Robert and Adell in there?
Sure does seem like a lot of great young talent has come up the past couple years. And I'm sure I missed a name or two.
Jeff McNeil? I would say he’s too old. swap him out with Torres.

Soto walks a little more than Sierra.
Yeah, I’m not feeling the comparison. His OBP percentage is 100 points higher. He has great strike zone recognition and incredible strength. His defense is improving.

Fewest losses in the majors. So you know they’re good.

FWIW I totally agree that they will never win a Super Bowl until after they win another playoff game first.
I don’t know. 2020 has been a crazy year.

Girardi looks like he has the Phillies playing some fundamentally sound baseball.

Three years left on his deal. He has a decent chance at ending up in the top 10 all-time in RBI and 3000+ hits.

Don’t have the link, but I read that MLB is considering a four city bubble approach to the playoffs to reduce the risk of another Miami/ St Louis situation.

I figured you were going to post this.
I'm curious if Covid had anything to do with Michael Ojo's death.
I wonder that too, though it’s not uncommon for young men who appear in great shape die from a heart related issue while in their basketball playing days or soon after.
Hank Gathers, Reggie Lewis, Pete Marovich, Robert Traylor, Conrad Macrae, Fab Melo, Jason Collier.
Ojo had had COVID-19.

Yea, Trout is the problem, not that guy at first.
I don’t think the Pujols contract was as bad as the Hamilton and Wilson deals. A terrible deal for sure, but one of many bad moves when trying to build around Trout.

Even when they work... do they really work?
Mike Trout is the best most valuable player in baseball, but the Angels still suck
If that's because of a resource allocation problem then I say they should have let him walk
Do you think the Nationals regret the Scherzer deal?

I'm going with general wear. He's been trending down for years now. When the Giants didn't keep him it should have been a huge red flag for other teams.
He is getting looked at for back spasms.
He’s getting cut from my fantasy team, that’s for damn sure.

Hear me out. I watch tv through Hulu. It recommended a show called Marrying Millions. Yes, it is on Lifetime. It’s about rich people dating poor people. Well, this lady was dating her daughter’s friend. It was Hamilton’s ex-wife. She said her net worth is $10M, which is wild considering Hamilton signed a $75M deal.
It’s a train wreck.

For some reason, not sure why, Redskins add Peyton Barber to the RB mix. I hope that’s not a bad sign for Guice and Love’s recoveries.
Welp. The Barber signing makes a lot more sense now.
