Pads have fire and play with an edge. Philly the same way. We have a team full of good guys and an aw shucks manager.
Dodger fans should honestly have the same energy for Darvish as they do Machado. Dude sucked ass for us in the playoffs and dominates us every single fucking time he faces us
not a newsflash but this series is over dodgers might have better talent but the padres play as a team we may score some runs before it’s over, but our downfall will ultimately be our starting pitching yamamoto sucks, flaherty can’t put guys away, and buehler isn’t the same guy he once was padres in four, we’re actually lucky we didn’t get swept goodnight (fkags)
i'd be good if they just competed for the rest of the series and didn't fall back on excuses if they can get some guys to show up and hit the mads are hardly invincible
Team has no dawgs. When Flaherty was chirping with Machado I didn’t see a single teammate backing him up. In 2020 when Machado was yelling at Brusdar practically the whole team defended Brusdar and were chirping back. That’s the difference between a team that wants it and a team going through the motions.
Truth. I'd like to see real baseball again, preferably from the Dodgers. Sadly, the Mets-Phils game 2 ... THAT was fecking baseball. Anyway... there's always football sesson.
Last night was way more fun then watching them blow a lead on Saturday. Going to the game on Tuesday.
Losing to this version of the no class Padres is worse than losing to the Giants. Clowning the fans is one thing, but Profar was also clowning Mookie who was running around the bases thinking it went out. Have some respect for the game you fucking turd. Hey Flaherty.........when you're getting your ass handed to you you don't pop off. Not good when your so-called ace gets lit. Home run derby at the Ravine last night. Given the final score it seems crazy to think the game might have been different if Edman's line out DP ball goes into the RF corner. At worst the game is 3-2 and the Dodgers have runners at second and third. At best the game is tied and Edman is on second.
I'll be wearing a pink carnation... and nothing else... Go ahead & burn your eyes out trying to unsee that.
Re. the inexcusable fan behavior, I was at a late season Reds-Dodgers game in the mid 70s when the fans in the LF pavilion pelted Pete Rose with all kinds of shit. Profar isn't worth the effort.
If the fans had any balls, they would have made it impossible for that ugly motherfucker Profar to catch that ball...they all cowered away from that low life and gave him a clear path to the ball. Grab his glove...knock his arm down. Fair game. Wasn't even a "great" catch at all, like Joe and Smoltz gushed it was...any OF makes that play. Their team was getting their asses handed to them, and they're doing the Wave. Fucking finooks. But the other side of the coin is, you taunt people and rub their face in it by low-life clam behavior, you initiate that kind of chaos and retaliation. What pro ballplayer jumps up and down in front of fans ridiculing a player and home team crowd like that ? And you can bet he was encouraged in the SD dugout.
exactly i would never condone throwing anything at a player that said… if you act like a douche, then you shouldn’t (pretend to) be surprised when you’re treated like one and lol at all that false bravado from profar glaring into the stands then waiting for your manager so you can pull that “hold me back” bs not a fan of tatis jr, but at least he kept a smile on his face and just dealt with it
Apparently Manny thinks Flaherty drilled Tittis on purpose. Fucking idiot. After struggling Flaherty had retired six Pads in a row and was settling down. Just wish he had hit him in ribs where it would hurt.
guy is such a self-serving drama queen lol at that impromptu “meeting” davis and smoltz were praising him for yeah manny… never mind that it would have made 1000x more sense to hold it down the runway where you could actually be heard, the main objective is giving the apparency of being a leader what a douche
Indeed. He thinks everybody's got ears like his. A great performance though with the impromptu meeting...an Emmy at least. And the Dodger announcer and Smoltz salivating over it, too. How do you validate that kind of behaviour ? And not say one negative word about that slime Profar and what he did.
I just read an article about the ball Manny threw at the Dodgers dugout, quoting DEI Dave as being upset and feeling disrespected. ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME??? Man up, grow some balls, and handle it on the field as it should be. Use this as a means to MOTIVATE your team to go out over the next two games and annihilate them. Show a little pride. Don't go crying to the press! If I had an ounce of respect left for DEI, I'd have just lost it, but I ran out of that long ago. Just an absolute embarrassment of a manager leading an embarrassment of a team, and I'm beyond sick and tired of pretending to believe it will ever change.
