Your wins are like the Canadian dollar. You get one for every 1.38 the Yankees get.

EVERY ONE ELSE WAS SIGN STEALING THAT SHOULD BE THE WHOLE FXXXING MLB

Just wondering what you mean by the Dodgers and wrath

😂😂

Yes. Yes, they are.

Hard to see sloth in the picture but the others i see.

That's funny, especially when they joined the rest of LA sports in being Boston's Little Bitch, as of the 2018 World Series.

⁠@@NobleDemonTimbit of a stretch when you could only beat Kobe once with the big 3 and only had the chance twice.

He is NOT an afterthought on the dodgers

Not really after Mookie and arguably shohei he’s the next best player IMO

I'm interested in knowing your definition of "afterthought"

He’s just bad now

They got spanked by the Cubs, but no surprise there as the Cubs always sh!t on the Dodgers.

All star voting gluttony

@@luguentzdort5 oooooh good one.

Also if you don’t support the team cause of their inconsistency and willingness to fire management you aren’t a true Canadian apparently, I feel that’s the message Rogers wants to send.

@@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigi so would fall under the sin wrath or something else?

Sometimes I accidentally call them the Anaheim Angels myself and then I recorrect myself to say LA and people were like nah you said it right the first time lol this team should be ANA instead of LAA fr

It's way more fitting in my opinion. Their logo is just an A. Which can represent both the team name and city.

​@hackercop188 I still refer to them as Anaheim. Like whenever my team visits or hosts them, I'll say, "They're playing in/ hosting Anaheim "

It was like the September 22nd game when Farquhar found out when they stopped it

Thank's man, appreciate it! Messages like this make it worth it :)

@@BottomoftheInningno problem keep up the great work

👍👍👍 I also agree with you @Backitch23

Fr

They did rappers too

Kinda proving his point by aiming your wrath at the Dodger ain't ya?

ah yeas because wrath and gluttony are the same sin...@@bluejay4214 nvm my bad you were referring to wrath for dodgers (which I might argue wasn't exactly related to the above comment but I see what you mean)

@@bluejay4214 yes. your point?

Well they’re more than one game ahead now…..

“Aren’t fair.” Buddy, that’s how the world works. The rich can buy everything while the others struggle to compete.

@itstimetoeat111 The difference is that in sports, you actually can implement measures to make things more fair. Baseball is so content with the way things are because of nostalgia that it is hurting the game. Baseball needs a salary cap whether you like it or not. What the Dodgers are doing actively harms the game.

@@Massachamp08 Sometimes, but it almost never works out for the buying team. Mets and Yankees last year are prime examples.

@@itstimetoeat111 Teams need to be saved from themselves.

@@Massachamp08I would actually like a salary cap for teams, that would be fair but we can’t really do much, just sit back on our little devices and complain.

I would've put the phillies as wrath, for their fanbase explicitly.

Kinda soft The guy that carried you for years is on that team

@@Baseballify ok? that doesnt change the fact that i still dislike the dodgers lmfao

@@jared5706the angles suck

@@idontwanttotalkaboutithern7700 you think I don’t know that? lol

Oh wait I have no girlfriend!! 😂

Same they want a real WS so bad they spent 1.2 billion this off season.

i tgought it was all gonna be a’s except for lust

it should have been.

Chastity: guardians for being committed to their last ring for many years Charity: Mets since Steve Cohen pays many luxury taxes for fans...but a chunk of the proceeds go to undeserving players Temperance: Tampa Bay rays since they win with only the minimum money necessary Diligence: braves for their hard working lineup Patience: Cubs since they waited 108 years they don't mind waiting 50 Kindness: Cardinals since their fans are kind to players and the team is kind to fans with consistent championships/playoff appearances. Humility: nationals. Those fans never boast or roast about anything.

I think he will, mans seems to be making moves

@@BottomoftheInning you have a good channel by the way keep up the good work

LOL, Imagine thinking someone with that surname "RubenSTEIN" is going to do the opposite of being GREEDY. You guys really are normies, aren’t you?

That's a good one too!

Is he as bad as Jeffrey Loria?

Dam ever one is hating 💀 like bro it’s a sport

Same

Agreed. Basically made all my points in less than 1/3 of the words lol, hope this year goes better for SD

Ok.

I want to note - the amount of Shortstops the Padres have is by design. The GM for the Padres - AJ Preller - believes in one major tenet: That Shortstops are the most Athletic position in the game and anyone who can fill that position can fill any of the other 8 positions on the field. The current Padres right now field 7 Shortstops in their everyday lineup, with only the Catcher and Pitcher positions not normally being manned by converted Shortstops. One of the trade pieces they gave to the Nationals is a Shortstop named CJ Abrams who is currently raking this year. Their #1 International Pick of 2023 is a 17-year-old Shortstop who went straight to Single-A. Eguy Rosario, a bench piece who got his full-time call up this year is capable of playing Shortstop (though he mainly plays 2B and 3B.) Tyler Wade, a bench trade piece they got when they traded Soto to the Yankees, plays 2B and SS. Matthew Batten, another bench piece in his 2nd year can play Shortstop though primarily a 2B & 3B. Campusano, Higashioka, and Pauley are the only Position Players to NOT play the SS position on the Active Roster as of April 24th, 2024 - and two of them are Catchers. That said, it has been noted in the past that Cronenworth can be put into Catcher in Emergency Instances (it's never happened but he has noted he can go there in a pinch.) As you can tell - AJ Preller LOVES his Athletic Shortstops and loves to hoard them. Whether that love is something that has ultimately prevented the Padres from winning a World Series... that is hard to say. After all, the Padres have NEVER won a World Series in the first place and the entire City of San Diego is cursed by the Sports Gods but that is another thing altogether.

@@Anim3Gamer I in large part agree. I will note that 1st: Preller *is* right SS is hardest infield position, as you can see from all the people like Machado who are elite 3rd basemen but weren't exactly elite shortstops. As for the outfield I think turning Tatis and Merrill into + outfielders (as of now, merrill's sample is small) seems to indicate the same thing. As to your final point about WS chances, im realistically not sure what preller should of done differently? I went through how they got each of these players/who in their system that they could of kept around that might of been upgrades. That is to say im leaning more towards your last sentence than the prior one. (also tiny nitpick, Tyler Wade was traded by NYY to LAA, became a free agent, and had a year in oakland before signing as a free agent w/ SD)

Great idea!

@@BottomoftheInning ty

Thank you!

Off to a good start so far

Go Orioles!!!

His surname "RubenSTEIN”. His kind aren’t known for not being greedy.

Because they're big market teams

To go more in depth on trade/FA history there are like 2 maybe 3 things that the padres had the power to change: 1 Jurickson Profar vs Ty France; Juan Soto vs Xander Bogaerts. Starting w/ first base in a 202 trade that retrospectively has not been good for the Padres (for multiple reasons, not just the Ty France part), the Padres sent 1st base prospect Ty France (who I will not was 'blocked' by Eric Hosmer [who most certainly never played SS]) to the Mariners in a deal that did not work out. On the Xander Bogaerts vs Juan Soto point, hypothetically if the Padres didn't sign a massive free agent the 22-23 window (though reports indicated they targeted many people, Aaron Judge [Not a SS], Trae Turner [a SS] amongst others) they might of had the budget to ink Juan Soto to a long term deal though that is a hard MAYBE. Given the Padres hypothetically didn't trade Ty France and keep Soto instead of signing Bogaerts their defensive linup would be: Catcher: Luis Campusano; 1st: Ty France; 2nd: Jake Cronenworth (ex-SS); 3rd: Manny Machado (ex-SS); SS: Ha-Seong Kim (SS); LF: Juan Soto; CF: Jackson Merrill [in this situation Padres either trade Trent Grisham for pitching w/o Soto or Merrill just wins the job outright, both of which I think are possible)] (ex-SS); RF: Fernando Tatis Jr. (ex-SS). Do note still 6/8 non-catcher fielders are still ex-SS w/o realistic improvements in my mind (Would you like to have judge in center, yes, do the padres A: have the budget for that or B: the ability to convince him to come to SD in the first place? no).

I want to reiterate that I like your video a lot and agree w/ the pick, but to conclude this fun thought exercise the Padres would have to have the premonition that 1: Austin Nola was not it. 2: Eric Hosmer would decline dramatically. 3: Ha-Seong Kim would break out to become a top 50 player in MLB (by Bwar iirc?). 4: That they would be bad enough in 2023 that resigning FAs like Snell and Hader and Soto would seem like a bad idea (so they don't sign Xander the previous offseason). 5: Know that Scott Boras might lose a bunch of his clients due to him not being able to secure massive deals for Snell and Montgomery (so they might actually be able to sign soto) to get a marginally better lineup that has 2 less ex shortstops.

If you want to go further back than the last 2 years and talk about players like Profar Tatis Cronenworth Machado and Kim joining the team, or their drafting strategy there certainly can be arguments made there. However going player by player down the list at least gives me reason to counter any of those arguments. Profar was first gained in a trade w/ the Oakland As at a time when 2nd was his primary position, and had realistically been a utility defender prior to that. Tatis hadn't played pro-ball when he was traded for. Cronenworth was a primary SS in AAA, but like we can allow one or two SS trades because you do need people to play SS Machado was primarily a 3rd baseman his entire time in the bigs Kim is the team's current shortstop. That just leaves Jackson Merrill, a player the Padres drafted out of high school, and didnt play an inning between AA and MLB, of course his development path is weird... Plus he is currently considered a plus defender by ooa

The banter was in good fun, excited to see where they end in the season. Definitely too early to tell

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

The dodgers are sloth lol ima dodgers fan by the way 😄

Thanks for the love man, appreciate it ❤️

Thanks bro! 🔥

@@BottomoftheInning of course! You gotta twitter or discord?? Would love to talk content

The opposite would be the 7 heavenly virtues I believe

Ya they are currently doing well, I recorded this video the other when they weren't doing too great. Their experiment definitely could work but moving players like bogaerts to second base is interesting one. Lets see where they end up once the season ends

Sometime soon!

Nothing wrong with following a player. Orioles are super exciting this season though and they are going to be insane when their team hits their prime. Their farming system is top notch and producing insane talent. Hopefully the new ownership will do well for the team.

Phillies fans would definitely take a lot of these sins but the team itself is pretty mediocre with their attitudes.

Thank you!

Appreciate you bro

Not a bad option. Quite a few teams c a be arranged for everything ahaha

Ahah, I could see them as wrath as everyone's been hating on them. Would've been good too

Well, how else would you describe the Orioles?

Definitely not the same team but unfortunately they will always kinda have that around them

Why would you ever be envious of something you are meant to hate

Yup, then they swapped back to honour the teams inception, just feel like Anaheim Angels better

@@BottomoftheInning agreed

Wrong - That was their excuse but look at how many great players we lost over the years he owned the Orioles since 93.

@@freemarley639 Who did they “lose” besides Mussina? They traded away Machado because he was never going to be worth what he was going to get paid, and he brought back some young prospects when the Os really needed them, mainly Kremer. They also traded away Arrieta and Gausman, but they were both terrible at the time. And they traded Bundy for Bradish just before Bundy went south. Trading Eduardo Rodriguez and Josh Hader hurt in retrospect but they were just prospects at the time. But every team makes trades to try and get better. The O’s signed a handful of good players too, mainly Miguel Tejada, though certainly not enough. What Angelos really failed at was never signing any top pitching free agents, not investing in Latin American players, and failing to bring back Mike Mussina.
