AL West is setting up to be a war

Not so sure. We are missing 1/3 of our offensive starters and a front rotation pitcher.

Jasson Dominguez aka The Martian, is hitting .167 in AA this season.

It's a process. I don't know how many times fans have to go through the same routine.

You see a kid have a great season in the minors. Maybe even a great Spring Training. And you start whining that the team's GM is being a bytch and they need to call the kid up to the majors right away. Only for reality to set in and realize that the kid needs more work to be successful at the highest levels.

You see it with the hype over Dominguez in the Yankees thread. Or read the hype over Jordan Walker in the Spring Training/Cardinals threads.

What stands out to me more than the .167 average at AA is that Dominguez has 24 walks in 23 games. If he's developing his patience, that's something to be excited about. The average will figure itself out with more time.

That said, I read a rumor this Spring that the Yankees would consider trading Dominguez to Milwaukee if Corbin Burnes ever became available. Yankees fans were furious. Honestly, I don't think it's a bad idea. Especially if Burnes regains his K-rate.

pitched a hell of a game a few days ago

The Padres are 3 games behind the Dodgers. Tatis is back and Soto is heating up.

You figure Snell will pitch better moving forward.

People should absolutely be concerned.

Contreras returns to Chicago tonight

After all that shyt he talked after signing with St. Louis

Cubs can end the cardinals season with a sweep

I picked them to win the NL West and the Dodgers to grab a WC spot.

Based on talent alone, Padres are absolutely better than the Dodgers (on paper).

That scoreboard graphic was funny in a pathetic way.

 

[god shamgod]

waves of prospects

Amaya,mervis,morel feel like 14-15 again

Baez was 1st then bryant, then Russell then schwarber

 

[god shamgod]

Only one team in mlb history has made the postseason after a 11-24 start & that was over 100 years ago like 1914. Cubs can finish these mf’s if they win this series

So the Rangers are now relevant over the reigning champions because they recklessly spent a lot of money on free agents?

Am I tripping or the Detroit Tigers winning baseball games lately?

Dodgers gonna treat them like LeBron treated Memphis, but that was funny.

I hope Tatis can stay healthy and stop being a knucklehead
