adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 23hI hope we continue to get the good version of Manny throughout the playoffs. I miss having to begrudgingly respect his talent. 161
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I unironically believe that Craig Stammen should win NL Manager of the Year. 140

adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I’m sure he doesn’t care, and neither should we, but since it looks like all the starters are getting tomorrow off, it’s kind of a bummer that Tatis ending his season with tonight’s game drops his fWAR below 5.5, his OPS below .830, and his wRC+ below 130. 110
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Gotta make Mize wear it and throw 100 pitches tonight to give the bullpen a rest. 030
Reposted by adamadam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Does Casey Mize even make the wild card roster? 001
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It’s nice to see Fernando showing some genuine personality in front of a mic. 190
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It’s unfortunate that I’m pessimistic about the Padres’ chances of winning this series despite trying to be more optimistic about the team overall. 200
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 22/09/2026If the leads aren’t 13 years old then Eggers is a fraud and the Olde English will just be obnoxious (I will still watch it, though). 120
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I don’t have anything against Feige, but Mahershala clearly does, and I respect his conviction in making sure everyone knows it. 220
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Hot take?: Samantha Morton was the only cast member who delivered an awards-worthy performance in The Odyssey. 100
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Padres ranked 14 out of 15, with the worst starting rotation of any team in the NL playoff field. Hopefully the offense can stay hot. 110
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I’m on a bit of a hot streak in my sports fandom choices, even if I frequently forget to follow along or watch the games. 011
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Somehow, @birdbrad.bsky.social will find a way to blame this on a Mexican. 110
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I’m an advocate of winning the division guaranteeing a playoff spot but seeding being dictated by regular season record. What’s going on in the American League ahead of CBA talks could probably facilitate that becoming a reality. 121

adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 10/09/2026One of these days we’re going to find out what a sketchy-ass life David Ortiz lives in the DR and nobody will be surprised except for Red Sox fans and the guys who voted him into the Hall of Fame. 120
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The Merrill vs Manny offensive statline competition is going down to the wire. 140
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I would say the Musgrove contract was good process, bad results, and expecting Joe to forfeit his salary for getting hurt is absolutely ridiculous. 272
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Arte sold to someone competent. Exciting news for Angels fans and should probably put the Padres organization on high alert. 110
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Do we care about the breakdown of ownership stakes in the Padres? José & Kwanza: 45% Joey & Jesse Buss: 5% Alfredo Harp Helu: ??? Behdad Eghbali: ??? 600
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I try my best to remain indifferent to Bogaerts but he makes it increasingly difficult. 030
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Taking into consideration that José Feliciano is technically the Control Person, listing Kwanza Jones’ name first in the announcement is a total Wife Guy move. Good on them. 1184
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 12/08/2026How many bad starts is Robbie Ray allowed to have before the trade for him is considered a flop regardless of how Hernandez turns out? 240
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Kiley updated his prospect lists after the deadline. Here’s his blurb on Joniel Hernandez, who Preller traded to SF for three months of Robbie Ray: 231
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Walter bought the team, fired the Buss brothers, then sold the team to a Kushner. 140
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I like it when Tatis and Merrill both hit home runs and the Padres win. I’d like them to do more of that. 2200
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I’d like to see the Padres City Connects with a different font because the colors are working for me. 030
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Sometimes I want to try to recruit more people over to BlueSky, but I kinda like how niche and group chat-esque my feed is. I never roll my eyes when any of you comment under my posts. 120
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I don’t trust Preller to not call up Salas this season, which strategically speaking would be as stupid as having traded him at the deadline. 330
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Putting it all together, Preller couldn’t land a LHH at the deadline because: 1) he didn’t want to trade productive players from the ML roster. 2) he couldn’t find a taker for Bogaerts in a contract swap. 3) Salas is the only meaningfully desirable prospect still in the system. 131
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Mayfield 45+ Hernandez 45 Mendez 40 Wolf 35 45+ FV would put Mayfield in the Top 150 conversation which we already knew. 45 FV for Hernandez is very bullish for a 17 yr old who hasn’t made his stateside debut. It’s basically a late first round grade and would rank him at 3 or 4 in the farm system. 100
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 04/08/2026The Padres played this game like Preller sold at the deadline. 0141
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I like when we trade a player I’ve never heard of for a player I’ve never heard of. 130
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I think Preller made a mistake in not selling or even reshuffling the roster, and trading Jionel Hernandez within the division could really come back to bite the Padres (not Preller, who will be fired by then) in the ass, but he made the rotation better for this year so I guess mission accomplished. 160
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Yeah at these prices Preller had to have had zero intention of even shuffling the roster. No finesse at all. 100
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Preller is finding himself without the necessary assets to improve his roster. 220
adam @amsullinger.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Based on how good some of these guys are vs what they’re being traded for, I actually think Preller priced his guys correctly. Problem for him is it seems most team’s will pay the price for “very good” but consider “elite” to be unnecessary luxuries. 110
