wasn't considered a prospect before the season. he'll have to keep it up for awhile to change that view.

Yeah, I really had no idea who we was before a few weeks ago. Career (all minor) .269 hitter, so probably won't keep this up

[smootness]

It's A ball. And you didn't even clarify whether or not it's high A. No one gives a shit until AA. Wake us up when he gets there. You really need to chill and let things play out the next couple of seasons. We're going to suck, no need in checking on prospects all the way down to Single A every night.

You jumped on him for simply giving a factual update on a prospect, and he's the one who needs to chill?

Some people like watching the farm system, especially the guys with tons of talent. Tearing up A ball at 18 isn't a guarantee of anything, but it is impressive.

I, too, like keeping up with all our prospects, even those in A ball. Sorry that bothers you.

Teheran is becoming a major concern.

[msstate7]

My boy, ciriaco just got ph 2-run double with 2 outs off fister

[msstate7]

Bethancourt with a huge 2-run, 2-out double to tie it. I think he's earned another start tomorrow. Atta boy Christian

Good come back wasted bc fredi is as dumb as they come. Martin should've never started the 9th. Jim Johnson was the correct choice. Martin had just got burned by uggla. Harper is killing everything so get the damn grounfball pitcher in fredi! He really is a terrible manager

beat me to it. have to use either your closer or a lefty against him there (not sure of Harper's splits). first rule of bullpen management is don't let their best hitter beat you, and if you have to pitch to him make sure it's the best pitcher you can use against him. Fredi doesn't know jack shite about how to manage a bullpen.

Blown save for Kimbrel. He's allowed 8 runs in 12 1/3 IP this year after allowing 13 runs in 61 2/3 IP last year.
Kimbrel's season ERA sits at 5.68

Lol Padres won't be trading with the Braves again anytime soon

Jup is looking good

True you're right. Kimbrel will be fine. I think he just needs an extended break from throwing a baseball.

[msstate7]

Fredi continues to be an idiot. Base open... Just walk Harper

[shoeless joe]

Harper needs one under the chin...for no reason other than to get him to change his approach. He's so locked in I'd like to get him thinking about something other than smashing the baseball. Same as laying a bunt down on a pitcher that's rolling...make him change his train of thought.

[msstate7]

What the hell are we doing? Martin bout to lose another one. Where is Jim Johnson?

[msstate7]

Cody Martin will lead the league in losses if he keeps getting late full innings. He was good for a while, but he's not fooling anyone now

[msstate7]

Told ya. Martin has gotten 3 outs of his last 5 on base running but by all means keep running him out there

unfortunately this bullpen is going to need a lot of innings from him, he's really the only former starter that can probably handle the workload. this pen could really use JR Grahm. or a trade of somebody like KJ for a couple legit bullpen arms under team control for awhile.

Why did we pass on varvaro TWICE?

[msstate7]

Wisler...
8.0 ip 5 h 0 bb 2 k 1 er

Banuelos...
6.0 ip 1 bb 6 k 1 er

Jenkins...
6.0 ip 6 h 2 bb 5 k 0 er

Last start for each

no remaining options, probably would not be productive this year, if he was he'd start getting expensive by 2017. having just looked at his stats, his ERA isn't bad but his peripherals are terrible. if i remember right he looked terrible this spring. probably an injury issue there.
