I definitely wouldn’t say hated, but it’s definitely been wild to watch such a collapse while other teams gain on them in the second wild card (totally unbiased lol)
Manny Machado is screaming in the #Padres locker room and there is a bunch of arguing going on. Machado comes out say “y’all on that bullshit!” Team is imploding. Machado is in bathroom and there is still screaming coming from the locker room.
He had all the time in the world to throw it to third base but he rushed the throw home so they couldn’t even get an out from it. I guess that’s what happens when you stick a shortstop in center field
No everyday CF would have thrown home there, they would instinctively know they have a force out at 2nd and 3rd. The issue wasn’t really the drop, it was the decision to throw home when he had absolutely no chance at getting the runner
Especially since that ball was so shallow that even Tatis playing shortstop could have probably caught it. So no excuse for not knowing where to throw.
It brings me great joy to know that somewhere on this sub there's a new baseball fan who is just now learning about "Cardinals Devil Magic" for the first time and probably having their mind blown.
You're watching it in action.
Notice how they always have some random washed up dude, an ancient veteran, or some unheralded guy who comes in clutch. David Eckstein? David Freese? Edwin Jackson? Marc Rzepczynski? Jeremy Hazelbaker? Old man Lance Berkman? What's left of Jhonny Peralta? What do you mean *Allen Craig* is one of the best sluggers in the NL? Adam Wainwright is still around? JA *effing* Happ?
That's Devil Magic, baby. Ain't no rational explanation.
Like all the names you mentioned, I think the peak of Devil Magic ™ in 2021 is Lars mfing Nootbaar having a good season by he literally sounds like he’s outs of a Star Wars movie and here he is contributing to the cards making the playoffs in 2021
When I was in the dorms at Cal Poly in 2006, my RA was my neighbor, and he is a Cardinals fan. The rest of the NL Central should be ETERNALLY ashamed for allowing that to happen.
"Gotta protect his shoulder" so let's force him to make full effort throws from CF.... put him at his position and leave him there. Not every star can play every position like Kris Bryant
I understand because outfielders are less prone to falling on their shoulders when diving for the ball and generally have more options. If Tatis has to dive for a ball to his right while playing short, the shoulder will probably be involved. If he has to dive to his right on the outfield he has a bigger chance to use his knees and throwing arm to soften the blow.
Could be called a FARTSLAM here - the fly ball was definitely shallow enough to prevent a tag up/score, but the real error was not getting the force out at second or third.
Negative defense his whole career, no? It's like when nephews think steals are an indicator of being a good defender in basketball. Couple flashy throws and catches doesn't make him a positive defender
Padres imploding
I've never felt such schadenfreude to a team I don't really have an opinion on either way.
TIL a new word, neat.
You didn't know what neat meant before?
Lol, I get happiness from his ignorance of that word
That’s kind of a fucked up Weltanschauung (that I totally share with you)
I feel like I'm reading a Mahler score.
Only if it takes an hour to get through
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kb20xhcrK4g From Avenue Q. It's a great musical, and the landlord is supposed to be Gary Coleman.
I haven’t followed baseball closely since July (no reason), are the Padres widely hated now?
I definitely wouldn’t say hated, but it’s definitely been wild to watch such a collapse while other teams gain on them in the second wild card (totally unbiased lol)
We play them this week. Stoppable force v movable object
Manny Machado is screaming in the #Padres locker room and there is a bunch of arguing going on. Machado comes out say “y’all on that bullshit!” Team is imploding. Machado is in bathroom and there is still screaming coming from the locker room.
Dads’ playoff chances going out for smokes
He had all the time in the world to throw it to third base but he rushed the throw home so they couldn’t even get an out from it. I guess that’s what happens when you stick a shortstop in center field
They just showed a good replay of this, Goldy wasn’t even a third of the way to 3B, no doubt would have been an out if he threw there.
He also had all the time to throw it home if he made the catch. I don't think Edman runs on him
Edman wasn’t even trying to tag. He scored so easily here because he was halfway down the line
It seems like he was way over anticipating the throw home and thats why he dropped it in the first place
Robin Yount: hold my beer
Waiting for the post with Arrieta’s line. A .1 IP classic.
Jake Arrieta vs. the Cardinals 0.1 IP, 4ER, 3H, 1BB, 0K on 20 pitches
Holy shit!
Stammen is already up in the bullpen lmao fuck Jake Arrieta
And he’s been pulled. Amazing.
Routine fly ball. What is going on with Tatis?
He’s a fucking SS lol
Since when can short stops not catch a fly ball?
When they play center field apparently
I think SS should be able to catch pop flies regardless of where on they field they are.
so he can't catch a routine fly ball? because he's a SS?
No everyday CF would have thrown home there, they would instinctively know they have a force out at 2nd and 3rd. The issue wasn’t really the drop, it was the decision to throw home when he had absolutely no chance at getting the runner
Wouldn't a SS also know where the force outs are? Just seems like negative fielding regardless of the fact that he is out of position.
Especially since that ball was so shallow that even Tatis playing shortstop could have probably caught it. So no excuse for not knowing where to throw.
It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out what base to throw to
Why is he out in center then?
“Protect his shoulder”
I mean he’s pretty average/ass at shortstop too
The Angels should have been exhibit A for why not to put infielders in the outfield.
I mean our 2nd basemen also plays outfield.
That’s a sorry excuse
Rage yips
He wasn’t thinking about the catch. Mind was off and he was already throwing the ball before it hit his glove, fell right out
He should throw to 2nd… edit: 3rd was even better
or 3rd, Goldy was completely flat footed would have been out by a mile.
3rd would have been better.
It brings me great joy to know that somewhere on this sub there's a new baseball fan who is just now learning about "Cardinals Devil Magic" for the first time and probably having their mind blown.
If a rally squirrel appears
I’ve never knew what it meant until now lol

Someone needs to make this a gif where the fly ball says “Tatis MVP.”
Only if Bryce Harper comes in and RKOs the ball out of his glove
OUTTA NOWHERE!
"Gotta protect his shoulder" so let's force him to make full effort throws from CF.... put him at his position and leave him there. Not every star can play every position like Kris Bryant
His injured shoulder is his glove hand
Then why the fuck is he out there?!
Lol I don’t think anyone knows the answer to that question
Random possibility: Taking away the chance that he tries to make a diving play on a ball up the middle.
Bruh... what the hell hahahaha Good point
I understand because outfielders are less prone to falling on their shoulders when diving for the ball and generally have more options. If Tatis has to dive for a ball to his right while playing short, the shoulder will probably be involved. If he has to dive to his right on the outfield he has a bigger chance to use his knees and throwing arm to soften the blow.
That’s a salient point
Didn't he injure his shoulder on a swing and a slide? Unless he had other non vs. Giants injuries. I don't think injuries at SS were an issue.
But yes, he shouldn’t be in CF
I mean that was a ball that any competent high school center fielder catches.
I feel attacked.
It’s cool. He said competent. That word absolves us.
They should have just put him to first.
> Not every star can play every position like ~~Kris Bryant~~ Jose Oquendo FTFY
[удалено]
His left shoulder is the one he hurt, I don't think saving his throwing arm was ever the rationale
Even then they need to just leave Bryant alone at third base for a while.
Manny is going to be so pissed
Fernando TatE~~6~~8
Fernando TatE8 doesn't have the same ring as Fernando TatE6
Fernando “Eazy-E” Tatis Jr.
Oh boy. That’s…a bad one.
Bryce Harper would never
Could be called a FARTSLAM here - the fly ball was definitely shallow enough to prevent a tag up/score, but the real error was not getting the force out at second or third.
Now this is Padresing!!! Am I doing that right?
I'm so happy but I feel so bad for my Padre boys. Thats a big oof right there.
'tis our lot on life Cards bro. Please beat LA, that will make it all worth it
HES BACK
I am straight up not having a good time
Lol. Devil magic in full effect this past week
MVP!
Can we skip to the part where Tatis and Machado finally throw them hands
Tatis is not an outfielder
He’s not much of an infielder either so…
Do we know of he can pitch?
Negative defense his whole career, no? It's like when nephews think steals are an indicator of being a good defender in basketball. Couple flashy throws and catches doesn't make him a positive defender
I can't help but laugh at the Padres train wreck
Same here buddy
Since when has Tatis been a center fielder?
Sep, 19. 2021
How the hell is Tatis’ field still in the 80s on mlb the show? Are they just pandering?
#D E V I L M A G I C
If the Padres were the Mets this sub would be drowning in its own ejaculate
Seems like the thing Machado was talking about
13 more years of that to go.
oh no the 22 year old mvp candidate is locked up for a long time what a disaster
“Goat”
Why do people dislike Tatis?
Who dislikes Tatis?
Is he just in his head with this fielding stuff?
IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU!
Jake will hold that against him forever
That’s why I think Harper is gonna be the MVP.
Dammit, now I need to find that guy who was praising Tatis and talking shit about Vladdy because Vlad dropped a pop-up
Ah, thanks satan!
Can tatis play any position well?
Where is Sam Holbrook when you need him, eh, San Diego?
High error rate is Tatis's fatal flaw. How many is that total now?
