@mollyhannahm I wish I could say SGA… but I feel like TLOAS is Harden: not at their peak, some think it flops too much, but every few tracks/games they remind you they still have that signature step-back and are an undisputed HOFer

resurfacing this for no particular reason

@DevineGospel This is the energy we need. Our Padres doomers are obnoxious. 1.114 playoff OPS, 2x Platinum, 6 WAR in ‘25… fans saying “trade him” on a $24M/yr steal contract is so amateur. It’s May. Stars slump all the time (Cal, Judge, Turner, Roman this yr). Take a breath, he’ll be fine.

This should help 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@Casualty01 @danielrpopper Most evaluators are in line: in this R1, ~25 picks are consensus top 32. There are outliers… but reaches rarely hit. Flip side, consensus guys may fall but are graded high for a reason: ASB, O Brown, W Johnson, N Dean, B Branch, DeJean, DK etc. Missed opp to add A+ value at G

@zickc813 @danielrpopper 3rd round projections went in the 1st round, how much do these TV experts actually know?? Don’t put too much stock in their Analysis.

Contributors Joe Hortiz took on Day 3 in his first two drafts with #Chargers: Tarheeb Still, Cam Hart, Kimani Vidal, Oronde Gadsden, Justin Eboigbe, RJ Mickens, KeAndre Lambert-Smith

@JessNoFace Roman >>> Staley > Kaeding > McCree > McCoy > Lynn > and now Jim tbh… Harbaugh also deserves criticism. He was terribly conservative all year and in a road playoff game ie 4th/4 punt from NE 49 end of 3Q was atrocious, bad clock management etc plus Jim insisted on hiring Roman

I’m done. I hate you greg roman. I hate you more than any coach that has ever been on the chargers staff. I hate you more than brandon staley. I hate you more than mike mccoy. I hate you more than nate kaeding or marlon mccree.

@RyanDePaul 100%. Truly feel we’d be a top AFC SB contender (right there with BUF/NE/DEN) if we had Slater and/or Alt (unlucky) or Hortiz invested some of our $60M cap space or draft into OL depth (self-inflicted). But Hortiz got complacent with 11 W’s. Big missed opp in a wide-open AFC

I genuinely believe that if Justin Herbert had even an average offensive line—rather than the worst in the league—the entire NFL would be in serious trouble.

@KBNESPN @espnkylew @ESPNMilwaukee @ESPNMadison BUMP. Caleb is a weakness? lolol... two game winning drives and two absolutely perfect TD passes *chef's kiss*

"Caleb Williams is an absolute weakness for the #Bears" @espnkylew | @ESPNMilwaukee | @ESPNMadison

@getnickwright @FTFonFS1 @DannyParkins Now that Nix/DEN won, you’ll have no excuses for Mahomes, right? No blaming KC’s OL for pressures or penalties - L is all on Pat bc “Nix outplayed Mahomes”… am I doing this right? Ignoring it’s a team game while LAC OL gives up 50% pressure + run D allows 200yds? @DannyParkins

Folks please tune in to @FTFonFS1 at 5pm ET tomorrow to see a Justin Herbert excuse tour de force by our own @DannyParkins. It’ll be a sight to behold. Also: Say what you want about The Prince, but one thing he always does: Outplays & beats Justin Herbert!

@MarinerMuse It’s an obvious intentional walk to Springer. One of the most clutch playoff hitters of all-time (3rd in go-ahead + total HRs). Let Muñoz (50% GB rate) face Lukes (730 OPS), play for a double play. If needed? Vladdy is 0-for-6 vs Muñoz. Insane decision to let Springer beat you.

There’s no way you can walk Springer with one out and pray for a double play on Lukes You have to try to get him out You put in the guy who’s been getting those outs, and he got absolutely nuked

@itsburgan @TooMuchMortons_ Lol holy overreaction. Tatis still has 1.114 OPS (top all-time, 50+ PAs), .317 BA, 6 HR, 12 RBI in playoffs = 51 HR pace over 162. His first down Oct. He’s 26, platinum glove, affordable star $24M AAV vs Soto $51M. Build around Tatis/Merrill, better lineup protection. Not a trade

@TooMuchMortons_ Start entertaining trade offers this offseason and build the team around Merrill

What a disappointing postseason for Tatis

@AlScott1998 Still not talked about enough, atrocious Shildt decision to PH for him in G2-3: Sheets 669ops, Iglesias 660ops vs LHP Sheets 735ops, Iglesias 601ops w/RISP Sheets 2nd on SD in RBI Lateral or worse move. Also, each time B Johnson had later ABs with RISP. Missed Sheets slug.

Gavin Sheets in his first year with San Diego .252 (.746 OPS) 19 HR 71 RBI

@TooMuchMortons_ Padres are now 3-31 with RISP (.096 bavg), dating back to G4-5 losses to LAD and this Cubs series

@TooMuchMortons_ Leading 1-0, it’s always so, so important to tack on that 2nd run for a cushion… especially with multiple RISP chances. We deserve this loss. Atrocious situational baseball

Jesus Christ

@TooMuchMortons_ Story of this game. RISP, less than two outs multiple times. Truly painful… what a missed opportunity

O’Hearn could easily have 2 RBIs fuck

@alexinsdorf99 First time this year Minter’s defense + our safeties look really exposed... tbh it should be 14-10 DEN if Nix doesn’t miss a wide-open Mims on that flea flicker TD. Not a great end to the half at all

Damn. Deflating end to the half on a brutal miscommunication.

@TooMuchMortons_ If Pivetta locks down G1, I’d love to lean on our strength and run a bullpen game in G2 (Morgan/Wandy/Hart/Vasquez for 5inn). If it goes G3, start King with Cease/Yu in pen. Win G2 and we save King/Cease/Yu for MIL. Given our inconsistent SPs, I just trust our pen depth more

From Mike Petriello’s “8 under-the-radar relievers who could take over October” article

@TalkingFriars If you’re a Padres fan and don’t know Khalil’s number without looking it up, we can’t talk smh

Magic number

@DevineGospel The Dodgers sadly happened. Including his late-Aug collapse vs LA, Estrada has given up 11 ER in his last 10 IP (9.90 ERA). Clearly in his head right now… badly needs some Niebla magic.

What happened to Jerry Estrada man

@Pimp_Lord619 No one’s expecting a sweep. Just saying there’s no need to put PHI on a pedestal. Same as LAD or MIL... they’re elite, but so are we (super-pen, Tatis/Merrill/Laureano getting hot L15D etc). Any of those series are going 5 or 6-7 games, not some “different level” mismatch

@zickc813 Ok sweep them then

The Padres are just not built like the Dodgers and Phillies. Anything can happen in October but these teams are on a different level
