I know that hate is real, but the right side just looks so off in the second and third photos.

This is the 2nd time now Garcia has had shoulder issues, no?

Some Padres pitcher was the first to wear the padded hat last night

Wait why is this monstrosity better than just a hard shell helmet that would look normal.

Because it stays on the head much better than a batting helmet. I'm kinda stunned at the number of people who think that's a viable option and wouldn't go flying off of a pitcher's head too often.

The way the current blocking the plate rule is being enforced is awful. The play in tonight's Angels/Rangers game and the call in the Pirates game the other night were pretty bad.

It wouldn't have to be a current batting helmet either though.

Pujols got off to such a good start, and I figured he was still hovering around a .900 OPS. Noticed tonight it's under .800.

 

That contract.

Yeah, it's gonna get bumpy riding that one out. Still, it might be trumped in the worst value category by Verlander's before all is said and done.

Vernon Wells will forever be the worst. Actually, no... B.J. Upton is well on his way to being the worst value ever

Yeeeaaaaahhhh, I forgot he existed.

 

Hampton: 8 years, $121 million, 2.9 rWAR

Wells: 7 years, $126 million, 8.1 rWAR

 

Upton is going to make a case though. 5 years, $75.25 million, -1.4 rWAR (so far)

[Guest]

Hampton was thisclose to signing with us.

 

Damn Colorado school system.

Padres fired Josh Byrnes.

It's a shame they can't find a competent GM like Hoyer.

I want to trade all of our pitching prospects for hitting prospects tomorrow.

To add to that sentiment:

 

Astros prospect RHP Mark Appel turned in another shaky outing on Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits in five innings for High-A Lancaster.

 

It's been a disastrous season for the 2013 No. 1 overall pick, and his overall inconsistency and lack of success have given reason for folks to be concerned about his long-term future. After receiving over a month off to get things straightened out in extended spring training, Appel, 22, has pitched to a 16.39 ERA, allowed 22 hits (five home runs) and struck out only seven batters in 9 1/3 innings spanning three starts.
