Rockies Charlie Blackmon is retiring after the season. He was one of their best players and always a thorn in the Padres side.

Definately loves to mash against the Pads.  Good riddance!

I still feel weird when someone that started playing after I started following baseball retires.

Just an interesting observation on ML SP ... 9 of the 58 "qualified" are current or former Padres ... that is a surprisingly high percentage. Base on ERA:

#9 ... Lugo (3.03) ...plus he is #1 in innings pitched at 204.2. Remember before last season some question whether he can convert to a SP

#10 ... King (3.04) ... another RP being converted and with some question

#16 ... Wacha (3.28)

#17 ... Manaea (3.29)

#21 ... Cease (3.42)

#25 ... Eflin (3.53)

#42 ... Gore (4.04)

#49 ... Rea (4.20)

#57 ... Mikolas (5.35)

Nothing impressive about Rea or Mikolas other than they are eating innings and staying in their rotations. However, the others are earning their ML roles with ERA / innings.

 

In case you missed this from the side bar ... I'm a bit of an A's fan (ran on the field after they beat the Dodgers in Game 5 of the 1974 World Series 🙂 ...

57 years of history and the love of millions of fans thrown away to appease one greedy coward.

He is no better than Spanos.

Blake Snell declines to make final SF Giants start, shifts focus to free agency

"Declines" to make a start?  Ouch ...

Sounds Snell like 🙄

The Mets own a tiebreaker with Arizona based on winning the season series.
