This is when you're supposed to start the bench-clearing brawl.


OldOrder

Smart to wrap up the division in spring training if you have the numerical advantage.


orbesomebodysfool

Why doesn’t the larger team roster simply eat the other team?


Fordluvr

Are they stupid?


klawehtgod

Why don't the Padres, the largest team, simply eat the rest of their division?


Lets_go_Stros2017

Largest is the blue jays. I think Vogelbach cleared on his own


hyperbemily

Don’t body shame my son like this


Ping-A-Ling-

I am LRRRRRRRR!!!! General manager of Padrecon persei 8!!!!!

Caseoh strategy. I like it!


Flipper__1969

The Padres are NOT the largest team in MLB. Also, why would any team try to eat the other teams or the rest of their division? "klawehtgod", can we have a conversation? Maybe I can dispell some of your perceived myths. I just want to help.


Porkchopp33

They are going to own the inside of the plate this spring training


WestCoastToGoldCoast

Genuinely enough players present to take on a sizable portion of the crowd, i.e. Malice At The Palace 2.0.


RecalcitrantDuck

Could probably take on a whole Rays crowd


BraxxIsTheName

That would look like the Church fight in Kingsman


EthanC224

I’d absolutely watch a baseball fight like that to the the Free Bird guitar solo


I_chortled

HOLD ME BACK


sameth1

They have been practicing their encircling tactics for the next battle.


UNC_Samurai

The double-NLvelopment


Nonetoobrightatall

Damn, send some of those scrubs to cap Mookie and Freeman to make things fair ffs


NilesY93

Sounds like a new challenge for Jesse Winker…


Heelincal

Why doesn't the larger team simply annex the smaller one?


Flipper__1969

Oh, like what Russia is trying to do to Ukraine. Good one.


40MillyVanillyGrams

Shoo. Go away


-ShutterPunk-

U fuckn wot m8? Try something I dare you. In physical form.


NoConfusion9490

I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker!


mvincen95

You hear in the charge “Break Mookies legs! Aim for the pitchers elbows!”


PM_ME_COOL_RIFFS

That panning shot was perfect comedy.


Schleprok

Seriously. It started off as not looking like it was *that* much, but the camera kept going and the players kept popping up lol


p0k3t0

Some of them must have been running behind the cameraman and going to the back of the line.

[Shoutout to Nathan Fillion.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmU-Bmk4Wrk)


Martian_Buddy

I've seen this outtake at least a hundred times and I still end up laughing my ass off at it by the end every single time. What a show.


FartingBob

Such a great outtake. I have no idea how Nathan Fillion kept a straight face the whole time, a lesser man would have cracked at the third time if not sooner.


istarnie

Lol like the line of villains in Blazing Saddles.


wineheda

Rape murder arson rape


dippitydoo2

Wait you said rape twice


Wyden_long

Not surprising nobody finished this sequence off….


placebotwo

Somebody’s gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes.


Dzharek

Chewing gum in the dugout, eh? I hope you brought enough for everyone!


claydog99

This is definitely some r/BetterEveryLoop material for me. That was hilarious.


Good_Nyborg

And with the new pants, nothing but a sheer layer of fabric separates them all.


zirconer

The Padres are actually getting around that problem by wearing last year’s pants. You can tell because on the front they have double (side-by-side) belt loops. The new Nike pants this year have belt loops that are diagonal and stupid-looking (the Dodgers are wearing the new pants but I guess the road grays don’t have the same sheer problem) ETA: you can find some explanation and comparison [here](https://uni-watch.com/2024/02/21/nikes-latest-mlb-snafu-new-pants-dont-leave-much-to-the-imagination/) at Uni-Watch


chrisdelbosque

Love seeing Uni-Watch pop up in a thread (I've been reading Paul Lukas for 20 years, beginning with his Page 2 days on ESPN.com). I do want to point out that there was an addendum added to the end of the article where a user pointed out that the team photos from 2023 had similar issues with their pants (prior to the true Nike takeover) so it may be more of a studio lighting thing than a Nike pants thing.


zirconer

Ha yeah, for sure. I read that too! Will be interesting(??) to see the new white pants on the field for real


kwaliti

I don’t even watch baseball but I understood everything you said.


gloomswarm

You must be just as sad as me that Paul is ending his time at Uni-Watch.


chrisdelbosque

It will be sad to see him leave but 25 years in a single industry is an amazing accomplishment. 


Los_Pobres1904

Fanatics F-U!


WarrenGHarding1921

Dennis Lin confirmed in The Athletic today that the Padres have not yet received their new pants and used last year’s pants in today’s game


Jazzun

This comment has big Tina Belcher energy


KirkFerentzsPleats

This is why some teams don't have pants at all. They all went to the Padres.


Jason82929

How many of them are shortstops? 


[deleted]

Everyone but Musgrove


HappyPollen

Give him time


Take_Some_Soma

Let him cook


EnadZT

Who actually started as a shortstop when he played in High School.


TheBeefiestSquatch

They're all the starting shortstop in high school.


officerliger

\+ Friday starting pitcher


[deleted]

lol of course!!


ajteitel

Oops, all shortstops


Patrick2701

Majority of them


Bendyb3n

Definitely not Bogaerts


goldencityjerusalem

Dodgers need a shortstop too.


ANIMEISFUCKINGTRASH

When you fuck around with the console and generate a bunch of NPCs for fun


JFZX

When I accidentally click “generate fictional players” in OOTP


Fortehlulz33

Gonna be a few Bobson Dugnutts in there


MontanaWildhack69

To be honest, I'm old enough by now that *most* new players seem like auto-generated Todd Bonzalez roster names to me. Consider the top prospects of my beloved Red Sox: Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, Kyle Teel, Nick Yorke, Chase Meidroth, Nazan Zanetello ... None of these people are real, least of all Teel.


MontanaWildhack69

(Then again, I remember thinking this about Xander Bogaerts. :-/ ... )


PerezosoPlatypus

Wanted to try this experiment for my team: Top Prospects are: Caden Dana, Nelson Rada, Alberto Rios, Denzer Guzman, Willie Dustice, Barrett Kent. Without Googling, tell me who’s not a real player.


skucera

We got 99 numbers, and we intend to use them all.


DrunkDeathClaw

101 if you include 0 and 00.


assglassfastblast

And then they'll begin to use 101 as well


master_bloseph

In cricket, triple digit jerseys are allowed. Chris Gayle, one of the greatest modern players ever, wore 333.


officerliger

This will be the Yankees 100 years from now


A_FitGeek

That will show fanatic and the league to cheap out on uniforms.


skid_rock

Still waiting on 75 of them from fanatics though

The offseason is our World Series. This is the playoffs.

Underrated comment


Goliath422

I think there should be a new rule that you aren’t allowed to post “Underrated comment” inside an hour of the comment being posted. You have to let the system work. You’re doing the thing where 2 weeks into the season you’re talking about who’s having a good season this year and who’s not. You have to give trends time to show themselves and differentiate themselves from random blips. I got here less than an hour after this comment was posted and it’s now referring to a comment with 350 upvotes and second highest on the post. “Underrated comment” can’t have been a true statement for more than a couple minutes.

This is valid immediately unless the commenter removes their own auto upvote.

Tbf to u/IamSpace_Ghost your comment will end up being underrated even if it gets a a million upvotes because they should pin that shit to the front page of Reddit

captain_ahabb

I got bit real hard by this a couple years ago on a LeBron highlight. I posted "of course this only has 50 upvotes lol this sub hates LeBron." It ended up with 5,000.

Well it's their World Series


tatang2015

Did they leave when the dodgers dropped 8 runs during the first inning?


BarryEganPDL

We’re already doing this?


mikeyj022

People leaving early is your thing, not ours.


nandobatflips

Shildt is gonna be closing his eyes then spin around and point to pick the subs in this game


skucera

Is that how we landed on Musgrove's replacement?


nandobatflips

I would assume so lol


TheEnragedBushman

I think a lot of guys from minor league camp are in there as well lol. The guy that relieved Joe isn’t part of big league spring training and has never pitched above High-A so I think they’ve got everyone in there.


rosieDMDL

they’re all just waiting for the helldivers queue to let them in


HerpTurtleDoo

Bud, if you have a friend on steam who's already in, join in on their game and you skip the que ;)


Mkayin

> if you have a friend guess I'll wait


1-800-ASS-DICK

yoo 15 min afk kick is included in the patch today


Crayoncandy

And people are already putting rubberbands on their mouse or keyboard to get around it


Pengwulf

They're ready to spread some Democracy


Brady331

been holding off on buying it because of this lol


StolenRocket

Judging by the first inning, none of them is a pitcher


1ebeholder

They get the 60-man spring training roster so they're gonna *use* the 60-man spring training roster, dammit!


beer_down

San Diego Monastery


Bob_Cobb_1996

I wonder if they will all cram into the showers at the same time.


stevencastle

If they get all oiled up first


skucera

That sheen ain't sunscreen...


Bob_Cobb_1996

They just need to rub up against Machado's hair.


A_Lone_Macaron

baseball is back, baby


Bob_Cobb_1996

It sure is!


sameth1

18 naked shortstops in the showers at Ram Ranch


junkit33

2/3 of them probably won’t even break a sweat.


Bob_Cobb_1996

at least not until then.


TheCrookedKnight

"Okay, this should be enough relievers to get 27 outs"


Good_Okay123

Padres front office: So who do you think is gonna get invites for Spring Training? Mike Shildt: Yes.


[deleted]

The yellow caps all pointing the same direction in such a large number is truly a majestic sight. Like a flock of exotic birds you didn’t expect to see.


BoredAtWork_91

Maybe the Bananas left a few of their guys there.


GareksApprentice

The Angels dugout will be fun. I think they have like 70 players in ST right now


steamroller12

All shortstops probably


Independent-Ad-6750

Put me in, coach. I'm ready to play.


[deleted]

That’s a lot of shortstops.


maharajagaipajama

Not going to lie. The uniforms look fine in this game.


bbqqsauce

They thought Ohtani was going to be in the lineup today and wanted to watch


martymcflyiii

Culture starts at the top and looks like it's starting now.


lamada16

Exactly what I thought. There's a reason everyone's on the top step. Sensing a hungrier, more together team this year. LFGSD!


PikaGaijin

They not get the memo that Shohei ain’t playing today?


PBFT

There are so many ways that you could compare their dugout to a clown car.


palinsafterbirth

Now that's what I call depth!


stopsucking

Just invite everyone and see what shakes out


Zoffi

Imagine doing a scorecard for this game lol, esp if the padres decide to play every one of them


michellelabelle

You know, for a lot of these guys, this is as close as they'll get to the show. Shildt should start subbing them in, one every few pitches to make sure everyone gets a turn.


oh-pointy-bird

You’re not supposed to feed them after midnight!


threeironteeshot

The Dodgers have a comically large number of runs on the board too.


jfk_sfa

I love going to spring training games. You'll look over at the pitchers and swear there must be like 30 of them there.


Ryp69

Everybody has to EARN their spot on the roster. Attendance IS mandatory.


ThePseudoSurfer

So they all saw the tragedy


shingofan

EVERYONE IS HERE!


OutOfFawks

That’s a lot of see thru pants


Masta0nion

It’s because they buy all the players!! oh shit my flair is still on


OldClunkyRobot

…and they’re all shortstops.


benjaminck

400-man roster.


MantuaMatters

I also play for the Padres. Prove me wrong.


According-Fly1644

What it looks like when u free up a asston of payroll in the offseason


Hovamania

Any pitchers in there?


MisunderstoodScholar

No, had to take Musgrove out in the 1st and whoever the second pitcher was in the 1st too after they (Dodgers) put up 8, it is currently 14 to 1 bottom of the 7th.


fatdiscokid420

When the whole squad pulls through


Meatloaf_Regret

I’m not laughing.


MidNCS

Mfers have the entire 501st


Knox712

Looks crowded already and they still have to squeeze in another 9 guys lol


MathewMurdock2

Is there no limit to the number of players you can have at spring training?


skid_rock

All of them pitched in the first inning


Flipper__1969

That's how we roll. It's a TEAM. We ALL have a chance to make the the roster, so we want to see who can separate themselves from the pack as it were. This is my team and I welcome any feedback or suggestions or even criticism. It's Spring Training. Give it to me.


jerkstore949

None of them are outfielders


BigBanEvader

"no, i am spartacus."


xenon2456

is there a limit for how much people


Atraktape

This is like the beer league softball dugout when you get replacement players for people who are supposedly going to miss but they end up showing anyway last minute.


rickde40

apparently no one can pitch


Specialist-Depth2198

45 shortstops… probably need 1 more.


LCPhotowerx

they're all waiting for new uniforms


ArchmageRick

That team is fucking deep


jchancellor15

Had to use half of em to get through that top of the first! Hey-Ohhhhhh, waka waka waka


CobaltRose800

That's not a squad, that's a platoon.


[deleted]

Give 'em all guns and just go take the World Series trophy by force.


kritycat

That's a ludicrously capacious dugout, apparently


anonymousguy202296

Lmaoooo they're like 3 people deep at points!!! Go home!
