Changing gears… what to make of Joe Musgrove? Is this another late season collapse like last year? Just got pummeled bu AZ. Both seasons he was great to start the year then faded. Is he just tired? If so, why doesn’t SD rest him?

There's a lot of concerning signs, for sure. Pop up rate is way up, hard hit ball % has cratered, HR/FB rate way down. Defensive metrics are way down, too. BABIP is down about 90 points, and while some of that might be luck, I think a lot derives from the much higher level of soft contact.Originally posted by revo View Post
OTOH, he's still only 23, has a .400+ OBP, and will have 30-ish HR and 100-ish R in what potentially could just be an aberration of a season.I'm just here for the baseball.

Yeah, it is just frustrating for people who expected a normal Juan Soto season this year. Looks less like Ted Williams than he used to. If he wants half a billion dollars he better get back to the old Juan SotoOriginally posted by chancellor View Post
Edit- 3 HR and 6 rbi in his last 30 games.---------------------------------------------

Yeah, I certainly understand the frustration - I had him as a keeper in my mixed keeper league. The only redeeming part for me is my team totally tanked almost right out of the gate, and I dealt Soto for Strider, Tommy Pham, and a 2nd round pick, which will be very good.Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostI'm just here for the baseball.Comment

I did a bit worse than Preller.Originally posted by chancellor View Post
I dealt Mookie, Bieber, Framil, Lawler and Dominguez for Soto, some spares and a 1st, though that 1st is gonna be around 18 or 19.

Hey look, it’s another 0-3 for Juan!
EDIT — hold the presses, he got a hit!Comment

I would bet that the Padres win enough games down the stretch to back their way into a wildcard spot. But in the off chance that the Brewers overtake them, is Preller out?Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostComment

That's a good question. I'd say before the whole Tatis injury/PED issue I'd have said yes, but I get the feeling his trade for Soto and Tatis's issue buy him another year should they falter down the stretch.Originally posted by Ken View Post
If they can just go 12-9 down the stretch they win 88 games and should make the final WC spot. But we've all watched them squander this opportunity before.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
