@Aidansheart Why should they be different than any other population on earth??

So Trump lied to the Persians

NEWS Axios is reporting that the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran are close to signing a 60-day memorandum of understanding that could extend the ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, ease pressure on global oil supplies, and open a new round of nuclear negotiations. The deal is not final and could still fall apart. But according to Axios, here is what is currently in it: The agreement would last 60 days and could be extended by mutual consent. During that period, the Strait of Hormuz would reopen with no tolls. Iran would agree to clear the mines it deployed in the strait so ships can pass freely again. In exchange, the U.S. would lift its blockade on Iranian ports and issue some sanctions waivers allowing Iran to freely sell oil. A U.S. official acknowledged this would be a major economic benefit for Iran, but argued it would also bring significant relief to the global oil market. The nuclear issues would not be resolved in this 60-day agreement. Instead, the MOU would create a negotiating period. Iran would commit to never pursuing nuclear weapons, and the two sides would negotiate over suspending Iran’s uranium enrichment program and removing its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The U.S. would also negotiate over lifting sanctions and unfreezing Iranian funds during the 60-day period, but those steps would only be implemented as part of a final agreement that is verifiably carried out. The draft MOU also reportedly says the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon would end. Netanyahu raised concerns about that provision and other parts of the deal in a call with Trump. Trump is reportedly willing to go much further in resetting relations with Iran if his nuclear demands are met. @BarakRavid reports Full Story: bit.ly/4dE1mvc

@Smqr1976 @dannybarrand_ Wildly different pitchers that have nothing to do with each other in terms of development profiles.
English
@dannybarrand_ Seeing how Musgrove is being used, is the 1 Inning reliever use might also apply to Salina.
English
@dmjay @Smqr1976 @kylestelter78 Had him projected to start yes? Kept him in AZ just so he could build up
English
English
@Smqr1976 @kylestelter78 Think maybe the control problems are spooking them now. Maybe he stretches out again at some point but seems less likely. He is definitely on a heavy innings limit though, only pitching once or twice per week.
English
@dannybarrand_ Do you think Balzer gets promoted to Fort Wayne this year ? He looks good
English
@dannybarrand_ @fxalipranti_ Swing rate stats for a 24-year-old in Low-A are barely more informative than zodiac sign.
English
@fxalipranti_ It’s like 65% and 18%. EVs are kind of average. Good launch angles and damage numbers.
English
@dmjay @TooMuchMortons_ were a .5 game from 1st with the worst batting average in the league. dont think pitching is any of our problems. but cherry pick
English
@AyarKode @TooMuchMortons_ I mean, there's 7,000+ words in the piece explaining his thinking...
English
@fxalipranti_ @madfriars I thought so too at the start of spring, but even if/when reality catches up with Castellanos, there are multiple much better options in EP if they need to add to the 40-player roster.
English
@madfriars Damn. He was my dark horse to make the roster at the beginning of ST. Wasn’t expecting France (but I am not complaining! Lol). Best of luck to him.
English
The Padres havereleased José Miranda from the Chihuahuas roster. The 27-year-old big league veteran posted a .790 OPS over 28 games. He had an opt-out and had clearly fallen behind multiple other Triple-A depth options. Watch for him to land somewhere else in the coming days.
English
@CFahrenthold11 Probably should be a Top 100 prospect already

Ryan Wideman this afternoon for Single-A Lake Elsinore:
3-for-3, 3B, 2B, BB, SB, R
He’s stolen 29 bags this season and sports a .926 OPS:
English
@AGirlHasNoTwitt @TooMuchMortons_ It was entirely predictable that his production would drop as his playing time increased.
English
@TooMuchMortons_ He really downgraded over last year. It is miserable to watch him and I route for Campy to come back
English
Watching Freddy Fermin play baseball has not been enjoyable
English
@TooMuchMortons_ What’s stopping us from taking a risk like calling him up? Can’t be worse than Waldron

Kash Mayfield today 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 9 Ks, 0 BB, 1 H 16 whiffs on only 56 pitches. Wish they let him pitch more but he looked dominant when he was out there. Season ERA at 1.52.

@madfriarskevin @TheTNHoller @kaitlancollins @Jim_Jordan It is at least encouraging to know that not even Jim Jordan thinks it's worth paying attention to what Jim Jordan has to say!
English
English
COLLINS: “What about Trump’s promise to lower gas prices?”
JORDAN: “That’s life.”
@kaitlancollins: “If someone’s paying more for⛽️, saying ‘that’s life’ might not make them feel better.”
@Jim_Jordan: “Those are your words, not mine.”
COLLINS: “No you said that. Just now.”😬
English
Fans of trade trees will hope some team winds up offering a young wild card player in exchange for Waldron. Otherwise, the line of players going back to Bruce Hurst and Greg Harris in 1993 will come to an end.
Kevin Acee@sdutKevinAcee
This will be the end of Matt Waldron’s time with the Padres, at least for now. (He could go unclaimed by another team and end up back at El Paso.)
English
@joshhhildebrand @madfriars I'd be shocked if more than two priority guys go anywhere before the draft.
English
@madfriars I am mentally preparing myself for a decent size roster turnover for Fort Wayne within the next month or so
English
Perhaps something you genuinely haven't noticed yet... Carson Montgomery is a pretty interesting pitching prospect.
Tonight's line:
5 IP
2 H
0 R
4 K
3 BB
Season ERA down to 1.33
MadFriars - The source for Padres Prospects news@madfriars
Here's some new and surprising information for you, #Padres prospect watchers: Alex McCoy is capable of hitting the ball very hard.
English
@hollywoodt9 @madfriars @TinCaps @epchihuahuas @Storm_Baseball He's going to need to get more swing and miss, but it's nice to see some results that match the stuff.
English
@madfriars @TinCaps @epchihuahuas @Storm_Baseball If Carson Montgomery’s arm can hold up, he is the deal 💯🤎💛
English
Carson Montgomery deals again for @TinCaps, Pablo Reyes just keeps getting on base with @epchihuahuas, and the @Storm_Baseball catching situation is looking good. That and plenty more in the Daily:

@doyalikedagss @madfriars He might hit double digits in SB once or twice early in his career, but probably won't.

After walking in his first AB of the night, Ethan Salas promptly steals his 7th bag of the year.
