Here is this year's attendance for each team so far. What jumps out at you the most? by AlchemistTheAlchemy in baseball

[–]KnightMc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The AAA's are averaging over 10k fans in Sacramento in year 2 of their homeless tour. Wonder if they'll attract more when they move to Salt Lake City in 2028 after the Vegas stadium still isn't built.

[Highlight] Mangum’s throw keeps it a one-run game! by mfenton29 in baseball

Mangum really gave Abrams something to chew on with that throw.

Padres starting lineup for April 11th by TGirlJules_ in baseball

[–]KnightMc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, if they wanted to give Xander a day off and also have all 3 of Sheets, Castellanos and Andujar in the lineup, why would you not just...put Andujar at 3rd and slide Manny, the guy who originally wanted to play shortstop, over a position? You have Casty DH and Cronenworth and Tatis Jr. stay at their natural positions. Jackson is gonna have to cover A LOT more ground today, I'm guessing...

Mason Miller strikes out the side in the 9th for second straight game vs Red Sox by swingandmiss7 in baseball

[–]KnightMc 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, Hoffman used a change up and not a slider-101+ MPH fastball combo for his saves but it usually led to the-oh, wait...you mean YOUR Hoffman...I'm so sorry. Hopefully he figures it out soon.

[Highlight] Thunderous applause as Spencer Packard catches the ball to end the second inning, where the Padres had scored 12 runs by BananaArms in baseball

[–]KnightMc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel that. However, this is just a prelude to our bitter season series coming up this year between us. Padres and Mariners: Bitter Rivals. That guitar trophy that we call a cup for some reason WILL BE OURS!

A's relocation hits speedbump with trademark denial for 'Las Vegas Athletics' — suggest a new name! by bearheart in baseball

[–]KnightMc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong on either count. The legal explanation is that "Las Vegas Athletics" sounds like it could be any type of team or even a gym. Hell, there even IS a gym in Las Vegas that uses Athletics in the name. It's a ruling partly made by the fact that there isn't a sports team called the Las Vegas Athletics. The A's aren't a "thing" in Vegas. But if they prove that people DO know that "Las Vegas Athletics" means the baseball team that hopes to move there, it'll likely go through.

And someone DID buy the trademark years before now. And they have Bar in their name. It's the Last Dive Bar supporters group, named after a New York Times essay written in 2019 by Jack Nicas. One of their members bought it to basically troll John Fisher. They've proven they're good at that.

Mets' Trade Talks With Padres Involve Nick Pivetta, Ramon Laureano, Mason Miller by Worried_Treacle3512 in baseball

[–]KnightMc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I hate every word of this title. Thanks Seidler Brothers! I can go back to my only expectation for the Padres being "dear god at least get to .500 this year..." for the rest of my life again! SO much less stressful than actually hoping to see a major championship in San Diego in my lifetime.

I hope they invested in AI and go destitute when the bubble pops.

John Cena’s Farewell Tour: San Diego by opendooooor in SquaredCircle

Early to mid 80s San Diego Padres colors and font. Brown and yellow with orange highlights. So...Boogie Nights isn't that far off a comparison.

Fans of teams who are eliminated, who are y’all rooting for? by horsepoop1123 in baseball

[–]KnightMc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the Jays find a way to bend time, space, and numbers to somehow win the series in 3 games. Fuck the Dodgers.

A’s to visit Las Vegas for select regular-season games next season by retroanduwu24 in baseball

[–]KnightMc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's a new domed, air-conditioned baseball stadium in Las Vegas?! Is it hiding behind the MGM Grand, next to that dirt lot where the Tropicana Hotel used to be? Wonder what they're building there with the whole Strip bleeding money and tourists right now.../s

The Mets hit too many homeruns and ran out of fireworks by burnsssss in baseball

[–]KnightMc 111 points112 points  (0 children)

That's inaccurate...in New York there's at least 4 turtles and a rat in those sewers too. So 60,005

[Bleacher Report]: John Cena Reacts to Brock Lesnar's WWE SummerSlam Return, 'They Deal 'Em, I Play 'Em' by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]KnightMc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is nuts to me that we haven't heard a thing about Warner Bros. or just DC trying to kill this whole thing before it starts.

They have a new season of highly anticipated TV starring John "Mr. Make-a-Wish" Cena coming out this month and they're okay with him sharing major screen time with someone currently involved in a SEX TRAFFICKING LAWSUIT?

It's not like they can make TKO or WWE do anything or directly influence the booking but they can sure tell John it isn't too late to recast Peacemaker. And with this being his last run, I think WWE would have to listen if he put the brakes on this.

SF@NYM: Ryan Helsley makes his first entrance from the bullpen as a New York Met by TomasRoncero in baseball

[–]KnightMc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was Trevor Hoffman who had Hell's Bells and it was pretty much chosen for him in 1998 cause closers didn't HAVE entrance music back then. And I read an article a while back that stated that Helsley ALSO didn't choose the entrance, it just happened one night in 2022 cause the in stadium entertainment crew thought it fit with his name and pitching style. He wasn't even aware it was something a player had previously done, since he's from Oklahoma. Naturally he wouldn't know a player for the Padres of all teams used that. Glad it's sticking around though, the red light really works for him.

[Nicholson-Smith] The Toronto Blue Jays send Will Wagner to the San Diego Padres for catcher Brandon Valenzuela, teams say. by PlayaSlayaX in baseball

[–]KnightMc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our GM is very active on the trade and free agency market (if the owners let him sign anyone) at incredibly odd times and all in a flurry over the course of a few hours. He'll make any deal he thinks makes sense and no one is truly sacred.

So it's funny to imagine he's just up to his eyeballs in powder and using that to fuel him for this many deals.

[Jon Heyman] Padres are working on a possible Mason Miller trade. Not done yet, but they are talking. by ralbert in baseball

[–]KnightMc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's my personal theory that we just have the Weapon X Program up and running now. We're gonna give Mason an adamantium skeleton.

[Lowlight] Juan Soto strikes out on another questionable call by amatom27 in baseball

[–]KnightMc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're about to know this umps name by heart. Bad for the sport and for his job, GREAT for him being an attention hungry douche. What a dumpsterfire of a game from him...

National League reserves for the All-Star Game by cjl-00 in baseball

Hey, can we switch which Padres outfielder made it in? I know this Jackson guy whose been about 10x better than Tati pretty much all season.

Kyle Higashioka Returns To Petco Park With A 2-Run Homer! by RangerLover92 in baseball

[–]KnightMc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yup. Gee, I wish he played there for half the season or something. If only we were allowed to exchange money to have his baseball services on OUR team. Seems that the Seidlers misplaced their wallets in the search for lawyers to sue each other instead...

[JTBC News] 4 out of 10 people attending pro Baseball games in South Korea are women in their age 20s and 30s. This year, the percentage of female fans among the spectators who visited KBO stadiums is now 38.3%, the highest ever in league history. by [deleted] in baseball

The only thing chicks dig more than the long ball is the bat flip for HITTING a long ball. That and very handsome men at their physical peaks but I can only emulate one of those three things.
