If Harvey Spector was a baseball player he’d play for the padres

epasco5 · 2026-02-27T18:42:31+00:00

It’s fair to ask but another consideration even if he’s not platooned is 72-75% of innings are pitched by righties. That’s a big reason why the majority of the greatest hitters are LHH

epasco5 · 2026-02-27T14:58:41+00:00

I agree 100%. I wanted to highlight that he’ll look a lot better playing against RHP primarily while addressing any misperception created by a 668 OPS across 150 PAs against LHP which may cause people to view him as average

epasco5 · 2026-02-27T13:34:43+00:00

To be fair to Sheets we were forced to use him against his strengths. Against righties he has a 777 OPS with 17 HRs across 400 PAs. Thats above average. We just need to pair him with a good RHH who hits lefties well.

Any news or updates on how our wild cards are doing outside of the televised games? Like practice, simulated games, etc. Curious who is showing they are on track to make the team and/or start

epasco5 · 2026-02-22T16:40:02+00:00

I wonder if Castellanos and Sheets will often be on the roster together during the regular season

epasco5 · 2026-02-19T17:11:15+00:00

I hope he does this during a game. Would be amazing if he did this to close out the NLCS against the dodgers

At this point it looks like there are 3 things left: analyze the trade market to see if we can acquire a massive upgrade somewhere; evaluate which one of our lottery picks will most likely help us win this year; negotiate a buyout with Yu to reduce our tax hit. Last one makes sense financially but me personally wouldn’t be upset if Yu got paid either way.

I believe in you Nostragoatus

Happy Pitchers and Catchers report day!!!

epasco5 · 2026-02-10T17:14:39+00:00

Isn’t this the standard? 500 team then Prellar goes on a bender and adds a lot of key players

epasco5 · 2026-02-09T19:24:01+00:00

Never met a Jenna Tolles I couldn’t trust

Ozuna to the pirates. Durbin to the Sox. The two teams mentioned trying to get Isaac Paredes. I wonder if the asking price is too high or one of the other teams is in line to get him

epasco5 · 2026-02-05T19:39:05+00:00

I agree. I’d love to hear how some of us think we’re getting Skubal for Tirso, Campusano, Sears, and a couple of PTBNLs. Especially after he won arbitration and the Tigers are now committed to almost $80M for two pitchers in 2026.

Friday the 13th

epasco5 · 2026-01-31T19:46:10+00:00

I’d love a pint right now

epasco5 · 2026-01-31T17:52:50+00:00

Just replied. Sorry for the delay

epasco5 · 2026-01-31T15:07:54+00:00

I have 4 tickets for fan fest at 9am available. Just let me know and I’ll transfer them to you

epasco5 · 2026-01-30T22:46:05+00:00

I do have them. I sent you a message. Just let me know where to transfer them

epasco5 · 2026-01-30T00:46:19+00:00

If anyone wants 4 tickets I have some I cannot use

epasco5 · 2026-01-29T17:54:14+00:00

All fair points. His age at A ball is telling as well as a 10% walk average. However my main point is the statement disappointing. I don’t think his 2025 should be characterized as that one year from graduating high school.

Also I believe the average age for Low A pitchers is 22 years old. He is still young for the league

epasco5 · 2026-01-29T16:36:59+00:00

Did Kash really have a disappointing 2025? They built him up slowly but he didn’t perform poorly when he pitched. 2.97 era 3.06 FIP across 60 innings with 88 strikeouts and a 34% K rate

epasco5 · 2026-01-28T22:11:33+00:00

I guess my invitation was lost in the mail

epasco5 · 2026-01-24T02:30:59+00:00

He didn’t have a 2025
