Look it's simple. Once the fans show that they are willing to come out to the ballpack they will look into expanding the concessions. If the fans keep supporting the team through attendance things will be ramped up for the 2024 season.

Now that at bat was ugly Ryan.

TV speakers tend to aim down or behind instead of forward, so the sound gets bounced around. Even a cheap soundbar should enhance clarity since it will at least be forward facing.

You watching on TV? Got a decent soundbar? Modern TVs have crap speakers.

I think it did...until 2013 when the Rangers beat it. Almost makes one think that modern bullpen usage might have been a factor.

I hope you have a speedy and full recovery. Nice to see only one person was offended by me in this thread.

I'm sure they are pretty pleased to have you jump to their defense but I don't think I was making them out to be an idiot. In point of fact I had to go back and check a third time to even figure out what you were talking about. I was way snarkier to other people in this thread.

I have no idea. I'm not sure money is that high on his list of priorities. He left money on the table to go to the Angels and I could see him signing a deal with a team for less than he could make.

I just double checked. I never responded to the OP in this thread. So I have no idea what you are talking about.

No, that's framing an argument. Like saying "Good managing. Simple as that. ".

And? I'm just saying they shouldn't get a ton of credit for eventually putting him on the program that helped him recover his velocity. It's good that they eventually figured it out but he shouldn't have been pitching in the majors earlier this season.

Is it worse then they finally got it right, they are so smart?

Who doesn't think that? It's a quick, really simple tool. No one should be super concerned about it. Every year you have teams that over and under achieve their Pythag by significant degrees.

Just because I post a piece of music does not mean I necessarily like that piece of music. Amused To Death has some good songs, I don't think Too Much Rope is one of them.

I think it's NSFW, haven't listened to it in years.

To dismiss the issue as it's the manager stupid is underthinking the issue.

People are underthinking this.

The meme about the toe aside, Mark Reynolds was not an adroit fielder at first.

So it's good managing when say, a ball bounces out of bounds for a ground rule double stopping the runner on first from scoring? Luck is part of baseball. Simple as that.

It isn't have a good record in one run games. It's having a significantly higher winning percentage in one run games compared to other games. If a .600 team wins .605 in one run games that's not luck. If a .500 team does, than yea, it's probably luck. If the Padres win at a .495 clip and are 6-18 in one runs games, it's fair to say they've been unlucky.

Sure, they adjusted well. But to me the miscalculation at the onset counteracts any credit for the adjustment. It ideally should have been handled better from the start.

I don't get the mindset of using a roster spot in such a way that the entire team is weakened 98% of the time just in case a 2% edge case comes up in which that move might prove helpful. I can see it now, the stars align, the O's are at home, tied game in the 10, Mateo pinch runs for Frazier, he gets ready to steal third...and the leadoff hitter hits a dong.

Developed a highly regarded prospected that they inherited into an asset on the ML roster by now? Managed his recovery from injury better? It kinda seems like they were throwing stuff on the wall to see what stuck. Why didn't they have him lift more earlier in the season instead of sending him out there with reduced velocity?
