Was super impressed with the Red Sox when we saw them at Petco and am equally as impressed with the Mariners post-deadline. Their lineup is relentless with power, the pitching is really good. It’s different from Boston in that way. Good team. Hope we don’t see them again.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Would be great if the Reds did anything. Anything at all!.

Still got the full pen available for tomorrow. Chase it if you need to. Would be a great series to win but honestly a relief to even be able to steal one in Seattle with how that team is built.

RT @MLB: Come for the 99-MPH paint, stay for the Don Orsillo call 😂

The least enjoyable non-dodger games of the year, every year. It’s a joke.

Sometimes I feel like the mental toughness stuff is unfair because none of us actually know these dudes, but I think approach/gameplan is very revealing and he is so prone to letting things spiral. Just blow it by these guys! Challenge them. Make them hit it. You throw very hard!.

Cease throws 99 with a nasty slider and pitches like his stuff sucks. Just refuses to go after guys and challenge guys and instead he nibbles himself into jams and blow up innings. It’s like watching first half Snell every time out without the benefit of second half Snell.

New challenge: opposing pitchers hit padres players on the ass or the back instead of the hands and wrists. Difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE.

Scoring a bunch of runs early against this Mariners team is greatly preferred to the typical result of getting one hit for 7 innings every single game. Just need to not allow a bunch of runs!.

Fernando has elevated a lot of his balls in play lately. The double, the homer, and he had a fly out to center last night too. Noticing.

This is so sick. I love this. I love constant attempts to scam me.

Arraez at two will continue until morale improves.

RT @LeVeonBell: Bowling > Adam Gase Offense.

132-30.

Luis is an accomplished hitter who is infinitely better at this sport than I am, but I’ve really never seen anything like it and he’s only hitting .280. So what the fuck. Use all three of your strikes, dude. You don’t get more points for two strike hits.

I’ll just never accept that Arraez standing there not even pretending to hit until there’s two strikes is good process. Honestly makes me feel insane to watch it happen. The antithesis of not giving away anything and taking everything, which is what Shildt preaches.

Padres Twitter collectively on that Nando homer

Mariners series are some of the least enjoyable games on the schedule every year. I’m already so deep in the blender. Should be fun!.

They’re calling it the most Bill Simmons podcast of all time

I gotta be honest - as an incredibly biased fan, I like our remaining slate a whole lot more. Lotta home games. An opportunity to really get on a roll with seven against the Rockies in ten days. It’s time to execute.
