I think pads are happy with cashner but not so happy with gyorko.
Whom they thought was going to be a better answer for them at 1B then Rizzo. ..

Gyorko had a solid rookie season -- may need a change of scenery? A lot of younger San Diego have decent offensive beginnings to their careers, then flounder.

Castro has played superb D the past couple of series. I am sure the next error he makes peeps will call him a horrible defensive SS again. lol

Why wait for the error. Trade the bumb rabble rabble rabble!

Pads figured Gyorko would be better suited for PetCo at the time cause of it being a bigger park and he was a line drive hitter over Rizzo who was more power...

Gyorko hit ,250 with 23 HR his rookie year..
Last year with fenches moved in a bit he only hit .210 10 HR in 111 Games.

So far this year he hitting. 170


Not sure what going on with him but im sure they probably go as far as wishing they still had Adrian Gonzalez

Bryant HBP -- meaning his next AB is going about 450 feet to dead center.

After a long adventure of trying to repair my beard trimmer and finally having to run and pick up a replacement I finally shaved for the first time in a month. So, if anything bad happens today I'm taking the blame. Also if something amazing happens I'm also taking the credit.

KRIS BRYANT I FUCKING LOVE YOU.

Castro really sharp so far this season. Having guys who can work counts and make contact is so weird.....

No way is that a strike. That was a ridiculous call.

Im starting to feel we will never see Baez in a cub uni again..

Not sure where he'll play, especially if their considering Russell for 2B now....

I think once he returns and gets going again in AAA, he will be trade bait...

Castro swipes second on a no-throw from Norris. Could be huge if Ross can get a single.

Really nice these long ABs, can't see Cashner going past the sixth at this point. Get to the pen early.
