Xavier Nady stunk, a completely replaceable player; certainly barely a piece for the Giants that I wouldn't think of him when I thought 'GIants championship players'. He was a journeyman, borderline AAAA guy. Definitely not a comparable guy to Hunter Pence.

Nady didn't play in the WS. They're not that much different him and Pence. Nady was just injured a lot.

Wait what - you're saying they're similar? I'd like to know how.

Stats wise. They were both decent players. Only problem is Nady had injuries. Also Hunter had double the plate appearances. Pence might be better overall. But it not by a lot

How does Don Mattingly fit into all this?

Better than both

Nady that is.

I imagine there were some other issues not detailed in the story, but man that seems like a no brainer.

RIP Vida Blue

A glaring omission from the Hall of Fame.

He's also the most unhittable pitcher on the MLB The Show video game.

He killed for the A's back in the day.

Sorry, worse uniform in a while has to be the San Diego Padres "colorful" uni's

Aren't these called the "home connection" jerseys or something like that?  Some are pretty damn bad...

Look up A's announcer and "negro" league museum...

I think it's safe to say he won't have a job anymore.

SAN DIEGO — Today, the San Diego Padres announced they will be wearing their Pacific Coast League uniforms on April 17 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Johnny Ritchey breaking the professional baseball color barrier on the West Coast, as well as what would have been his 100th birthday year.

nice gesture and all but looks like it would be something the marlins would wea.

I haven’t followed that beyond watching the video, but it sounds like he got caught between negro and neg-ruh. Didn’t sound anything like a hard r to me.

I think he got tongue tied, but definitely sounded like it to me. I played the video of it and my wife overheard it. She asked if she heard it correctly and was flabbergasted when I told her he said it on air for a baseball broadcast.

Between that and Bob Huggins, what the hell are people thinking this week?

Super tough start for the Astros, which I know makes a lot of people happy. Offense is struggling....the injuries are brutal. Glad that Brantley, McCormick & Altuve will be back soon & fingers crossed on McCullers. Losing Urquidy & Garcia stings a lot. It's safe to say that they'll be looking for SP help at the deadline. I know it's a long season, but damn.

Kinda weird the Braves are 10-8 at home and 15-3 on the road. You would think it would be the opposite.

So far the home schedule has been more difficult. Swept the Cardinals, Royals, and Marlins on the road...not exactly the toughest competition in the league there.

jeebus…..just looked at the A’s stats…8-31, 16 games out (in may!), minus 146 run differential.

so you think Atlanta isn't as good as their record indicates? I know they lost possibly their best pitcher in Fried for a few months so that sucks for them.

No, I think they're a good team. I just think the quality of competition explains that difference. They've won the east the last few years with a lot of the core players on this team. I expect them to be a playoff team again and that the home/road splits will even out eventually. Pitching is definitely a concern now with Fried and Kyle Wright on the DL. Gonna have to rely on Strider, Morton, and a few guys still trying to prove themselves. I like what I'm seeing from Elder, but I wonder how long he can pitch this well? I hope Soroka can get back, but not holding my breath on that.
