I'm a die heart Dodger fan, but coach, I really enjoy listening to you with all your insight because you give credit to whoever deserves it. Thank you, Coach.
@@GOLF4METOO it was a great series. I felt the Padres had a good chance, but their offense froze 🥶up over 2 straight games…head scratcher! Good luck against the Mets.
Thank you so much....btw....I go to lots of baseball stadiums, and I think Petco Park is one of the best besides Dodger stadium....lol Btw....if you haven't taken Petco Park's tour, I suggest you do it. It was very informative. @jasona9
@@adamdaniel01 Yep! Coach John is one of the greatest sports broadcasters San Diego has to offer. He was on 97.3 The Fan. The Padres official station 📻. I don’t know why, but some nimrod executive let him go. RUclips’s gain! ⚾️
Embarrassing way for the Padres to end season… 24 consecutive scoreless innings. Dodgers were the better team…Padres have several issues that need to be addressed in the lineup….Too many to list here. Congrats to the Dodgers…Will be interesting to see what the Padres roster looks like next season….Coach, you’re awesome and glad you came back on the air via RUclips.
Hats off to the Dodgers they weathered their adversity and the noise. We choked, no runs for 24 innings is atrocious. The better team moved forward...period. Padres talked the talk but when it mattered couldn't back it up.
Coach I’m a Dodger fan since 1978. Your old school insight is sorely missed. I hope to hear you on the radio soon. I enjoyed your SOCAL regional sports coverage. Until then, I’ll support you on this platform. Continued success. Maybe talk to Pete Gray🎣 and get a 3 hour slot after his show. 😉
So dead on right about Smoltz. In game one he immediately pointed out that Yamamoto can't expect to use his cutter early in the count because if the hitters don't chase you're behind in the count and Smoltz questioned why he wasn't challenging hitters early in the count with the fastball. In game 5 he did exactly what Smoltz said and got better results.
After getting cooked on Twitter and seeing the most insulting takes on the Padres it’s nice to see respectful Dodger fans here! Coach Kentera is a San Diego legend and deserves so much respect. It really makes me happy to see Dodger fans appreciate him…What a horrible and twisted turn to our season. It doesn’t matter who we were playing but watching the Padres fall as flat as they did towards the end it will cloud my amazing memories I had this year. What a shame.
Dodger fan here; kudos to Padres for an amazing season. You guys lost Soto/Harder/Snell/Lugo/wacha, cut payroll by 90 mil and somehow got better. Best record in the second half. I honestly didn't think the Dodgers had enough pitching to survive the series if it went 5. It's so hard to win in the playoffs in baseball. ,Keep your head up you have a great team and a great GM. The core is going to be around for a long time. You guys had some bad luck, 8 balls 100mph+ but only had 1 hit to show for it. Including two blasts by Machado that just missed being Home Runs. The rivalry is real!
@@alexthegod2 it was a competitive 5 game series, the best of the Division Round. The Padres bats just went cold 🥶 at the WRONG time…good luck against the Mets.
Yu Darvish pitched one heck of a game. Except for two pitches, he was unhittable. He didn't deserve the loss but neither does Yamamoto. From a Dodger fan standpoint, the Padres had a terrific year and in my humble opinion, the the second-best team out of the National League.
Hi Coach, missed you on 97.3, Glad you’re on RUclips , I used to listen to you while on the road working. You bring up great topics. Also glad you will keep your show going during off season. Keep us informed form for 2025 Padre new and veteran player updates.
Just a baseball fan no dog in the hunt either way. 110 % agree with you about Darvish. He was masterful...... in both starts. Baseball is such a humbling game. In game 3 when the Dodgers shortstop tried to tag 2nd for the force out and throw to first for the double play and accomplished neither I thought LA was cooked and headed for a quick exit home. And if you would have told me the Padres would go scoreless for the remainder of the series I would have wagered everything I own and all my bank savings against that .
The team choked. Anyone who says it was a “great” season is part of the problem. This was the year and the team didn’t stay focused. Where was Manny Machado? Cronenworth? Profar? Cease? And to think some people said this team were better than the ‘98 club.
I don't remember what inning it was, especially touched when Darvish tapped the PS heart on his Jersey before the start of each inning. Amen, Peter. 🤎✌️
Stumbled across your show. I'm a Dodger fan but also a huge baseball fan. I really like your show and think your analysis is spot on. The Padres and Dodgers will continue to have some fun series in the future. I honestly thought the Padres have the best team built for the playoffs, even with the Musgrove injury. Sometimes things just don't go your way, trust me I know from the past 2-3 years, and it can still go south with the Mets series coming up. I think the perfect team would have a mix of the two teams, the Dodgers don't show enough emotion, and the Padres can sometimes show too much. Have a great off season and I subscribed so I can follow you next season. Should be fun, the NL West is stacked.
As a Dodgers fan, no team has scared me more this postseason than the Padres. This felt like our WS. If we could just get past SD, the rest looked (relatively) easy by comparison. Looking forward to this rivalry in the years to come as it seems to have supplanted Dodgers-Giants in intensity and emotion.
Miss you on the Airways John!! I have been a Padres Fan since I came into the world!! I wished they wouldn’t party after a wildcard win! I wished Profar didn’t taunt the Dodgers fans! ! If you can’t get any runs at home and get beat 8-0 that tells me that they didn’t adjust and got beat by a better team and a superior manager .
Damn just imagine if this rotation for the dodgers comes next yr Ohtani, Yama, Flaherty, Glasnow, Sasaki with Gonsolin, May, Miller,Stone,Sheehan, Ryan, Casparius, Grove, Knack, Hurt all to back them up…
On paper, this is great. Reality is that they won’t be 100%. We expected Gonsolin and May for the last couple of years. Look at Miller and where he ended up this year. I think there’s going to be even more evidence of load management, considering how the bullpen has played. Have a starter go 4-5 innings. Yes, their W-L record suffers, but they’ll be ready for post season.
One bad year often leads to a great one coming up. Padres will be back, but maybe more focus on serious professionalism by Profar and Tatis. No more clowning around. That second game behavior was juvenile. No Dodger would ever behave like they did. Having ‘fun’ in a post season game just isnt the kind of mental game focus needed to win. Schildt thought it was fine to have fun, really? Maybe he was just backing up his guys, but… I am a Dodger fan, but I love San Diego and I want the people to have winners. Go SD Chargers!
2022 Padres team was tougher because they had Soto and Snell. That team gave the Dodgers more problems. Cronenworth was better back then, and Kim is tough for the Dodgers.
let's be honest game 3 it was lucky the padres even scored. If dodgers 3 errors that inning did not happen there would be no runs in that game for padres. Its not in the score cards, but freeman boot, and Miguel 2 mess up.
The Bogaerts contract is going to be an anchor around this team for years. Terrible contract! There was never a need to sign him since we didn't have a weakness in the middle infield.
@@dodgedforgottenn and it will only get wore. This will be worse than the Hosmer contract which the Padres are still paying. AJ sure can overate talent sometimes.
First Coach, We miss you on the airwaves! 2nd, as a native San Diegan I've been dealing with this all my life. SD sports teams get your hopes up, and then let you down, time and time again. The SD sports curse is real!! Now, we only have one major sports franchise. If the Chargers ever get their act together and win a championship, I will be furious! I don't ever want to watch them have a championship parade in L.A. Salt Lake City has two teams (NBA & NHL). We are a bigger city than they are by far. San Diego needs to do whatever it takes to get the NFL back in our city! Hopefully, they will break the curse when that happens.
@@Danilo-uc8lz how about the cursed Chargers too? Nobody in L.A cares about the Chargers. I lived in L.A for a while too. I'm actually a Kings and Lakers fan too. So it's not a hate on L.A. For me it's about wanting to see a championship parade in my hometown! We only have 1 major sports team left. Don't even get me started on that subject.
I tried. I TRIED to tell you all when the Padres were up 2 games to 1 not to count my Dodgers out. I said then my only regret was personally I wanted to see the Boys win it at the Dog Park. But I’ll take this one. AND DONT LAUGH AT ME unless you’re sure you will have the last laugh.
I am a diehard Dodgers fan 💙. However I like your analysis totally professional to coach. I wish Dodgers can reach out and bring you to Dodgers organization
Coach K, it was a fun season , the “experts” predicted us to be nothing more than a 500. Team and we showed some fight and grit, happy with Shildt , It so much better to watch Padres when they’re in a playoff race, and thank you for doing SAN DIEGO SPORTS TALK ,
@@user-dr2ym5jr7l TBH I wasn’t surprised to see Profar be the scrappy player that he was in 2024 , I’ll always remember him working a walk in G4 of the 2022 Nlds , to get that 7th inning rally started,
No excuses. Only a San Diego sports team could muster up 24 innings with no runs. Not even Tolkien, Shakespeare, or Rawling could’ve scripted this nightmare.
Aside from the 24 scoreless innings topic, this team became the opposite of who they were most of the season, a comeback team. Between the 7 playoff games with the Braves and Dodgers, in 6 of those games they managed a TOTAL of just 1 run scored after the 3rd inning... 1 F-ing run in 6 games! The runs scored late in their 10-2 win was late against mop-up guys.
Dodger fan for 60 years, I agree with a lot of what you ssy. Im a ex pat San Dieagen. now in Tucson. Where I don't agree with you is your assessment that Cease has better stuff than any LA pitcher. When Glassnow is on he takes a backseat to noone. And Yamamoto has the pitches to rival cease. One thing I can say is when LA was considering trading for Cease, I watched his past PS performances and the same results that SD got from him happened. I was so happy when we went for Glassnow instead. I will say LA needs to figure a way to keep him healthy for the PS even if it means not winning the west in order to be healthy. But LA will have Ohtani pitching, Kershaw, Goslin, and a few others and who knows what Friedman comes up with in the offseaßon. Just saying. And I will subscribe to your channel John. Sure Im a LA fan because when I started watching BB and liked Koufax the Padres werent even a MLB team yet.
I am a dodger fan living in san diego. When coach was on the radio i could get far more commentary on the dodgers than i could get from thise idiots in la. It really was great to turn on the radio and know you were going to hear about baseball instead of non-stop riciclous sound effects, obscure cultural references and 2 juvenile football fans laughing at their own dumb jokes. Anyways sorry you got fired and glad to see you are on RUclips.
Cease's stuff doesn't matter. He's mentally unstable. He looked lost and nervous in both games. Stuff means nothing if you can't execute. And he cannot.
if you really analyze it, except for that freakish inning in the third game where the Padres scored 6 runs in the second inning thanks to a play where Machado really ran out of the baseline going from 1st to secoond and add to that some shaky Dodger defensel, the Padres were fortunate to win game 3 and could have just as easily been shut out that game as well.
Nice hearing you again Coach! I think Padres messed up when they started Cease in game 4. They should have let Perez start and pitch four or five innings.
On Cron, his stance from the beginning of the season where his elbow was and compare the two now you'll see the difference of why he went into a slump.
Dodgers fan here. I don’t know that the Dodgers have the better team, and most national analysts thought the Padres were in fact better, but the Dodgers were just the better team in this series. These two teams are VERY evenly matched right now and might be the two best teams in baseball. It’s just too bad baseball fans didn’t get 7 games of this matchup
Everything is in the moment, so the back end of the season was great to watch. But overall based on how everyone felt about this team, they did not live up to expectations.
It's not unusual for Manny to look bad when he has two strikes on him. Throw him down and away every time and just about every time he will throw his bat at it. It's not even a swing, his butt goes to third and his arms stab at the ball going away. It isn't even close to being a strike but he will flail at it every time and then just walk off to the dugout. Padre hitters played the fifth game like they had an appointment somewhere and just got out of there as fast as they could with no visible plan of attack. After game 5 I think most Padre fans sat back and said "WHAT WAS THAT?"
Difference in game 5 and really this series, Machado barely missed two mistake pitches for HRs. The Dodgers hit two mistake pitches for HRs. Otherwise, the teams performed pretty much the same. That’s how evenly matched these two teams are this year. Lastly, the decision to pitch Cease on short rest was a really bad one. Was that REALLY the best option?
Darvish pitched his nuts off, he deserved better. Padre hitters were never in the game, games. I love listening to John smoltz broadcast games. I learn a lot from him. To me John smoltz is the baseball what Dan fouts is the football. Both guys have a great amount of insight to their sports. They weren't successful by accident.
When Manny has two strikes on him it's so predictable. Throw him down and away and he will flail away at it every time, I don't understand it but he will flail EVERY TIME FOR STRIKE 3
One of the Padres' main strategy was to silence Ohtani and they succeeded with that. But Dodgers isn't a man-team. They have Teoscar and their bullpen. I do think Padres felt complacent after their second win and the Dodgers felt that and they took advantage of that. People tend to be careless after they feel a sense of relief. I think that's what happened to them.
I grew up in SD but have now lived in LA longer than I lived in SD, and I can honestly say that the vast majority of both fan bases are decent, kind people. Don’t let the small minority of loudmouths ruin an otherwise great, healthy rivalry.
Dodger fan here. Excellent analysis here. 3.314 million people through the gates at Petco is remarkable. I imagine this really hurts right now, but SD and the Padres have a ton to be proud of. You have one of the best ballparks in baseball filled with seemingly loyal fans, one hell of a good team to watch, a GM that seems to have figured this thing out, and an ownership that is willing to go for it so much as possible. It just didn’t happen this year, but the future still looks very bright for the Padres. Multiple national analysts have said Dodgers vs Padres is the best rivalry in baseball *right now*. Who saw that coming 5 years ago? Dodgers fans with any sense agree. You can’t supplant the Giants as the Dodgers biggest rival long term, but so long as Preller can keep running out a good team and the Giants languish, it’ll be that way. This will be a lot of fun for years to come. You’ll have your chance to punch back. Much respect to SD for rallying around this team the way they have. Keep it up. It’s GREAT for baseball.
It's very embarrassing not to score for 24 innings against Any pitching staff 😂especially one as injured as the Padres . Tattis is a talented clown who has been caught cheating and is a walking injured list. Padres Big money guys especially Bogarts did Nothing and has been garbage with Padres . Peter Seidler tried but this team should be better than they are .
Padres got too many power hitters in the lineup. They need about 2 or 3 contact hitters in between the power hitters. (I love when smoltz calls the game)
The baseball gods giveth (2022) and taketh (2024 & 2020) and the Padres got punished for their childish behaviour during Game 2. San Diego Padres, who's your padre? Answer: Dodgers...like usual.
Padres seemed like the team to beat in the postseason. I'm surprised they lost, thing your big hitters were trying to do too much in the last two games and left approach behind.
So after Manny talks smack, Profar lies and taunts Dodger fans, Tatis.. Manny... Darvish tosses a brilliant game in the clutch. Yu shut down Otani, Muncie, Betts, Smith, kept Freddie in the park... Karma. Dump Xander, Manny ..
Manny Machado looked during the playoffs exactly like he looked during the season at the plate. You get Manny with two strikes and you simply throw him down and away out of the strike zone and he will flail away at it. IT'S A GIVEN. His butt goes to third his feet stay planted and he reaches across the plate and gives it a half-hearted swing and a miss. That's the book on him and always has been. Why change if he doesn't?
John, you want a good😮 catcher? Our #1Smith is signed long-term. They should, they better resign Teo so Dalton Rushing would need to be a bench player or backup catcher, which I doubt. Or he could try some backup 3rd base. I think he's trad bait for a good pitcher. Then Cartaya is rebounding from hid bad hitting habits he picked up and improved a lot defensivly. And there's the left hitting backstop who's name I just can't remember who was called up when Barnes broke a toe. Hes good and ready. Just saying
For a team and a city who never experienced a championship the players on the padres are waaaaaayyy too arrogant/cocky. SD(season done) SD(sit down). Love the people of san diego , but those players can’t stomach Let’s go dodgers!!
padres was talking that smack, had no humbleness to there attitude, was too cocky, taken for granted we already got this in the bag. i tell you what happen when that guy on the outfielder took away that home run from someone on the dodger team, but that wasnt it he could of left it alone, he did the utmost disrespect thing you could possibly do was to do a level 5 super taunt of handing the ball back to that little boy who he stole the homerun from, the little boy threw the ball back and put the curse of the padre, the curse can never be broken till they accept humbleness

@@user-dr2ym5jr7l good point, and Solano and Peralta did much better than I expected,
@@rocketdog2723 nobody expected Merrill and Profar to do what they did as well, so that definitely contributed to doing 10 games better than .500.
@@user-dr2ym5jr7l TBH I wasn’t surprised to see Profar be the scrappy player that he was in 2024 , I’ll always remember him working a walk in G4 of the 2022 Nlds , to get that 7th inning rally started,
No excuses. Only a San Diego sports team could muster up 24 innings with no runs. Not even Tolkien, Shakespeare, or Rawling could’ve scripted this nightmare.
Maybe Stephen King could have.
If those authors were San Diego natives I’m sure they could’ve imagined it
Aside from the 24 scoreless innings topic, this team became the opposite of who they were most of the season, a comeback team. Between the 7 playoff games with the Braves and Dodgers, in 6 of those games they managed a TOTAL of just 1 run scored after the 3rd inning... 1 F-ing run in 6 games! The runs scored late in their 10-2 win was late against mop-up guys.
That will never happen again in history.That was the biggest choke of all time. by the hand of god.
Shout out to Bob Geren! ❤
Dodger fan for 60 years, I agree with a lot of what you ssy. Im a ex pat San Dieagen. now in Tucson. Where I don't agree with you is your assessment that Cease has better stuff than any LA pitcher. When Glassnow is on he takes a backseat to noone. And Yamamoto has the pitches to rival cease. One thing I can say is when LA was considering trading for Cease,
I watched his past PS performances and the same results that SD got from him happened. I was so happy when we went for Glassnow instead. I will say LA needs to figure a way to keep him healthy for the PS even if it means not winning the west in order to be healthy. But LA will have Ohtani pitching, Kershaw, Goslin, and a few others and who knows what Friedman comes up with in the offseaßon. Just saying. And I will subscribe to your channel John. Sure Im a LA fan because when I started watching BB and liked Koufax the Padres werent even a MLB team yet.
I am a dodger fan living in san diego. When coach was on the radio i could get far more commentary on the dodgers than i could get from thise idiots in la. It really was great to turn on the radio and know you were going to hear about baseball instead of non-stop riciclous sound effects, obscure cultural references and 2 juvenile football fans laughing at their own dumb jokes.
Anyways sorry you got fired and glad to see you are on RUclips.
SD stands for Season DONE! ☑️ let’s go DODGERS 💙
Cease's stuff doesn't matter. He's mentally unstable. He looked lost and nervous in both games. Stuff means nothing if you can't execute. And he cannot.
Profar mocking the fans was the turn of events!
if you really analyze it, except for that freakish inning in the third game where the Padres scored 6 runs in the second inning thanks to a play where Machado really ran out of the baseline going from 1st to secoond and add to that some shaky Dodger defensel, the Padres were fortunate to win game 3 and could have just as easily been shut out that game as well.
Yup. Dodgers beat themselves that game then destroyed the pads afterwards.
Enjoy the off-season SanDiego
It was over for the Padres once Machado threw that ball at Robert’s.
Epic chokers. Complete embarrassment
Nice hearing you again Coach! I think Padres messed up when they started Cease in game 4. They should have let Perez start and pitch four or five innings.
On Cron, his stance from the beginning of the season where his elbow was and compare the two now you'll see the difference of why he went into a slump.
Dodgers fan here. I don’t know that the Dodgers have the better team, and most national analysts thought the Padres were in fact better, but the Dodgers were just the better team in this series. These two teams are VERY evenly matched right now and might be the two best teams in baseball. It’s just too bad baseball fans didn’t get 7 games of this matchup
Intense series, the Padres had a great season.
Everything is in the moment, so the back end of the season was great to watch. But overall based on how everyone felt about this team, they did not live up to expectations.
The morons at the SDUT said this club was better than the 1998 team. More proof that the SD media is clueless.
The only way you can explain it is, it was the act of god... . 😮
It's not unusual for Manny to look bad when he has two strikes on him. Throw him down and away every time and just about every time he will throw his bat at it. It's not even a swing, his butt goes to third and his arms stab at the ball going away. It isn't even close to being a strike but he will flail at it every time and then just walk off to the dugout. Padre hitters played the fifth game like they had an appointment somewhere and just got out of there as fast as they could with no visible plan of attack. After game 5 I think most Padre fans sat back and said "WHAT WAS THAT?"
How about giving the Dodgers credit?
@@CesarMartinez-nr4xo very little
THATS WHATS INNNN!!!!
Difference in game 5 and really this series, Machado barely missed two mistake pitches for HRs. The Dodgers hit two mistake pitches for HRs. Otherwise, the teams performed pretty much the same. That’s how evenly matched these two teams are this year.
Lastly, the decision to pitch Cease on short rest was a really bad one. Was that REALLY the best option?
Lets go Dodgers 🎉
Darvish pitched his nuts off, he deserved better. Padre hitters were never in the game, games. I love listening to John smoltz broadcast games. I learn a lot from him. To me John smoltz is the baseball what Dan fouts is the football. Both guys have a great amount of insight to their sports. They weren't successful by accident.
When Manny has two strikes on him it's so predictable. Throw him down and away and he will flail away at it every time, I don't understand it but he will flail EVERY TIME FOR STRIKE 3
One of the Padres' main strategy was to silence Ohtani and they succeeded with that. But Dodgers isn't a man-team. They have Teoscar and their bullpen. I do think Padres felt complacent after their second win and the Dodgers felt that and they took advantage of that. People tend to be careless after they feel a sense of relief. I think that's what happened to them.
Unprofessional team, fans like you deserve better Unc
I grew up in SD but have now lived in LA longer than I lived in SD, and I can honestly say that the vast majority of both fan bases are decent, kind people. Don’t let the small minority of loudmouths ruin an otherwise great, healthy rivalry.
Too much mouth and breast beating from Machado, Tatis and Prefab. Childish.
They should try and let their bats do the talking
Their bats were silent.
Dodger fan here. Excellent analysis here. 3.314 million people through the gates at Petco is remarkable. I imagine this really hurts right now, but SD and the Padres have a ton to be proud of. You have one of the best ballparks in baseball filled with seemingly loyal fans, one hell of a good team to watch, a GM that seems to have figured this thing out, and an ownership that is willing to go for it so much as possible. It just didn’t happen this year, but the future still looks very bright for the Padres.
Multiple national analysts have said Dodgers vs Padres is the best rivalry in baseball *right now*. Who saw that coming 5 years ago? Dodgers fans with any sense agree. You can’t supplant the Giants as the Dodgers biggest rival long term, but so long as Preller can keep running out a good team and the Giants languish, it’ll be that way. This will be a lot of fun for years to come. You’ll have your chance to punch back. Much respect to SD for rallying around this team the way they have. Keep it up. It’s GREAT for baseball.
It's very embarrassing not to score for 24 innings against Any pitching staff 😂especially one as injured as the Padres . Tattis is a talented clown who has been caught cheating and is a walking injured list. Padres Big money guys especially Bogarts did Nothing and has been garbage with Padres . Peter Seidler tried but this team should be better than they are .
wtf?
Padres got too many power hitters in the lineup. They need about 2 or 3 contact hitters in between the power hitters. (I love when smoltz calls the game)
Baby brother tried
They are a big momentum team and since game 3 everyone froze up. It’s a bummer
The baseball gods giveth (2022) and taketh (2024 & 2020) and the Padres got punished for their childish behaviour during Game 2.
San Diego Padres, who's your padre?
Answer: Dodgers...like usual.
I MEANT one as injured as the Dodgers .
KARMA..........
Padres seemed like the team to beat in the postseason. I'm surprised they lost, thing your big hitters were trying to do too much in the last two games and left approach behind.
So after Manny talks smack, Profar lies and taunts Dodger fans, Tatis.. Manny... Darvish tosses a brilliant game in the clutch.
Yu shut down Otani, Muncie, Betts, Smith, kept Freddie in the park...
Karma. Dump Xander, Manny ..
So, who was the goat ? Cease? We really missed Musgrove. He would have pitched game 4. Now we have all that Musgrove $$$$ and no 2025 stats. Ugh.
Dodger pitching dominated they silenced padre hitting that’s a fact
Manny Machado looked during the playoffs exactly like he looked during the season at the plate. You get Manny with two strikes and you simply throw him down and away out of the strike zone and he will flail away at it. IT'S A GIVEN. His butt goes to third his feet stay planted and he reaches across the plate and gives it a half-hearted swing and a miss. That's the book on him and always has been. Why change if he doesn't?
Last year, Marty Caswell said she "hoped" the Dodgers would sign Ohtani. What kind of idiot says such a statement?
cease lost it
John, you want a good😮 catcher? Our #1Smith is signed long-term. They should, they better resign Teo
so Dalton Rushing would need to be a bench player or backup catcher, which I doubt. Or he could try some backup 3rd base. I think he's trad bait for a good pitcher. Then Cartaya is rebounding from hid bad hitting habits he picked up and improved a lot defensivly.
And there's the left hitting backstop who's name I just can't remember who was called up when Barnes broke a toe. Hes good and ready. Just saying
If, God forbid, don't resign Teo, a spot does open up for
Dalton Rushing in left a position he's been playing at tripple A
San Diego: Saint of the Deciever / Defrauder / supplanter. Seriously.
This was their window.
Why do the Padres fans back Cronenworth so much. You see fans defending him. He is awful.
For a team and a city who never experienced a championship the players on the padres are waaaaaayyy too arrogant/cocky. SD(season done) SD(sit down). Love the people of san diego , but those players can’t stomach Let’s go dodgers!!
LGD
padres was talking that smack, had no humbleness to there attitude, was too cocky, taken for granted we already got this in the bag. i tell you what happen when that guy on the outfielder took away that home run from someone on the dodger team, but that wasnt it he could of left it alone, he did the utmost disrespect thing you could possibly do was to do a level 5 super taunt of handing the ball back to that little boy who he stole the homerun from, the little boy threw the ball back and put the curse of the padre, the curse can never be broken till they accept humbleness
