Yeah, he should’ve been farther off. ALSO, IKF should’ve slid head first. The extra nanosecond could’ve allowed him to touch the plate before Smith’s foot came back down.

Long-term, I love it. But for Game 1 after 7-week injury layoff and a 7-year hiatus from playing the position??? Don’t love it.

But I’m at least glad to see Bo back in the lineup!

Because I overextended and decided to sell before the market tanked, ur, corrected... I don’t really regret it. Just at moments like this, I get a little nostalgic.

It’s really not that small of a park. The PCL is a hitter’s paradise because many of the cities are high elevation. Sacramento’s advantage is that it has very limited foul territory, but otherwise...

Cool story. Did you know there are 13 other relief pitchers who have pitched at least 7 innings in the past month (Miller has thrown 7-2/3) and not allowed an ER? And there are many high-quality...

Well, sure. Of course it’s a win-now move—or, at least, an attempt at that. But SD could’ve given up a lot less for a reliever with a third the ERA.

But this is a team that already leads the...

If De Vries is truly worthy of being the #3 overall prospect at age 18, then this would seem to be a foolish trade by the Padres.

He was one of the first players who watched at the end of his career (loved watching him with the A’s!) and retroactively learned about how great he was.

Gunnar Henderson has the best swing. Whether you want to call it the “smoothest,” I don’t know. But Gunnar is so direct to the ball, and the point of contact is a perfectly timed explosion.

Maybe when they get their middle infield back, they’ll get a little boost. But that still doesn’t make up for their complete absence of pitching.
