Heads up, the links to the other players ( Pete Alonso, Luis Arraez) are 404 and dead

I've wondered if all the Harper discontent stems from the interview where Middleton bragged that Bryce was underpaid and said he had told him and Scott Boras so.

Machado got extended that offseason and Harper was talking to the media about wanting an extension the next.

They often have a year on sale for like $2. Jump on it the next time you see it! Need to support the guys on the ground otherwise all we will hear is Team Media.

"That's an MVP over there, cuz. That's a leader. That's not a guy i want off the field."

Told you.

He's the 2 hitter!!!

Shildt has instilled the culture all year long.
Luis Arraez has 12 bunts on the year.
His previous career high?
2.

Padres scored their only run on two consecutive doubles. Mike Shildt and Co's stubborn dedication to giving away outs has neutered this team all season.

So sick of it.

It has & it hasn't. @letters2aj.bsky.social did a great piece on it which I'll link. The TL:DR would be it has worked great when it's been at the bottom of the order and not when Luis Arraez has done it (he set a career high back in MAY) in the first inning.

get ready for some bunts.

I checked our patron's work and he has been moving away from the MOUND -not the plate- further back in the box. Could make him more susceptible to late break but from what i understand most hitters want as much time to see the ball as possible.

He's only been hit by 3 pitches all year and they all happened from 7/26-7/28....his last OPS high water mark? 7/29.
