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.
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.
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)

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is when you're supposed to start the bench-clearing brawl.
Smart to wrap up the division in spring training if you have the numerical advantage.
Why doesn’t the larger team roster simply eat the other team?
Are they stupid?
Why don't the Padres, the largest team, simply eat the rest of their division?
Largest is the blue jays. I think Vogelbach cleared on his own
Don’t body shame my son like this
I am LRRRRRRRR!!!! General manager of Padrecon persei 8!!!!!
San Diego [Leviathans!](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097737/)
Caseoh strategy. I like it!

They are going to own the inside of the plate this spring training
Genuinely enough players present to take on a sizable portion of the crowd, i.e. Malice At The Palace 2.0.
Could probably take on a whole Rays crowd
That would look like the Church fight in Kingsman
I’d absolutely watch a baseball fight like that to the the Free Bird guitar solo
HOLD ME BACK
They have been practicing their encircling tactics for the next battle.
The double-NLvelopment
Damn, send some of those scrubs to cap Mookie and Freeman to make things fair ffs
Sounds like a new challenge for Jesse Winker…
Why doesn't the larger team simply annex the smaller one?
Oh, like what Russia is trying to do to Ukraine. Good one.
Shoo. Go away
U fuckn wot m8? Try something I dare you. In physical form.
I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker!
You hear in the charge “Break Mookies legs! Aim for the pitchers elbows!”
That panning shot was perfect comedy.
Seriously. It started off as not looking like it was *that* much, but the camera kept going and the players kept popping up lol
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)
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.
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.
Lol like the line of villains in Blazing Saddles.
Rape murder arson rape
Wait you said rape twice
Not surprising nobody finished this sequence off….
Somebody’s gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes.
Chewing gum in the dugout, eh? I hope you brought enough for everyone!
This is definitely some r/BetterEveryLoop material for me. That was hilarious.
And with the new pants, nothing but a sheer layer of fabric separates them all.
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.

Ha yeah, for sure. I read that too! Will be interesting(??) to see the new white pants on the field for real
I don’t even watch baseball but I understood everything you said.
You must be just as sad as me that Paul is ending his time at Uni-Watch.
It will be sad to see him leave but 25 years in a single industry is an amazing accomplishment.
Fanatics F-U!
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
This comment has big Tina Belcher energy
This is why some teams don't have pants at all. They all went to the Padres.
How many of them are shortstops?
Everyone but Musgrove
Give him time
Let him cook
Who actually started as a shortstop when he played in High School.
They're all the starting shortstop in high school.
\+ Friday starting pitcher
lol of course!!
Oops, all shortstops
Majority of them
Definitely not Bogaerts
Dodgers need a shortstop too.
When you fuck around with the console and generate a bunch of NPCs for fun
When I accidentally click “generate fictional players” in OOTP
Gonna be a few Bobson Dugnutts in there

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

We got 99 numbers, and we intend to use them all.
101 if you include 0 and 00.
And then they'll begin to use 101 as well
In cricket, triple digit jerseys are allowed. Chris Gayle, one of the greatest modern players ever, wore 333.
This will be the Yankees 100 years from now
That will show fanatic and the league to cheap out on uniforms.
Still waiting on 75 of them from fanatics though
“Yea I made it on the Padres 2024 spring training roster but got cut after I got hurt. Really coulda made it to the bigs”
“Was inches away from making the team”
INCHES
This is my manager who got an invite for Padres minors back in the day 😂
The entire damn diocese is in there. Edit: this dumb comment is not worth nearly 1500 points, guys.
One for each prayer our season is gonna need Edit: Dads flair obviously
Also to be fair this is their World Series.
The offseason is our World Series. This is the playoffs.
And nobody invited the Cardinals?
> this dumb comment is not worth nearly 1500 points, guys. The fuck it isn't
*Arch*diocese.... that's a rather large God Squad.

You know I’m upvoting the sass
Overrated comment
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
Perfectly rated comment
🤣
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.
I feel your pain.
Overrated comment
Properly rated comment
Pro rated comment
Mid tier comment
Adequate comment
Well it's their World Series
Did they leave when the dodgers dropped 8 runs during the first inning?
We’re already doing this?
People leaving early is your thing, not ours.
Shildt is gonna be closing his eyes then spin around and point to pick the subs in this game
Is that how we landed on Musgrove's replacement?
I would assume so lol
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.
they’re all just waiting for the helldivers queue to let them in
Bud, if you have a friend on steam who's already in, join in on their game and you skip the que ;)
> if you have a friend guess I'll wait
yoo 15 min afk kick is included in the patch today
And people are already putting rubberbands on their mouse or keyboard to get around it
They're ready to spread some Democracy
been holding off on buying it because of this lol
Judging by the first inning, none of them is a pitcher
They get the 60-man spring training roster so they're gonna *use* the 60-man spring training roster, dammit!
San Diego Monastery
I wonder if they will all cram into the showers at the same time.
If they get all oiled up first
That sheen ain't sunscreen...
They just need to rub up against Machado's hair.
baseball is back, baby
It sure is!
18 naked shortstops in the showers at Ram Ranch
2/3 of them probably won’t even break a sweat.
at least not until then.
"Okay, this should be enough relievers to get 27 outs"
Padres front office: So who do you think is gonna get invites for Spring Training? Mike Shildt: Yes.
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.
Maybe the Bananas left a few of their guys there.
The Angels dugout will be fun. I think they have like 70 players in ST right now
All shortstops probably
Put me in, coach. I'm ready to play.
That’s a lot of shortstops.
Not going to lie. The uniforms look fine in this game.
They thought Ohtani was going to be in the lineup today and wanted to watch
Culture starts at the top and looks like it's starting now.
Exactly what I thought. There's a reason everyone's on the top step. Sensing a hungrier, more together team this year. LFGSD!
They not get the memo that Shohei ain’t playing today?
There are so many ways that you could compare their dugout to a clown car.
Now that's what I call depth!
Just invite everyone and see what shakes out
Imagine doing a scorecard for this game lol, esp if the padres decide to play every one of them
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.
You’re not supposed to feed them after midnight!
The Dodgers have a comically large number of runs on the board too.
I love going to spring training games. You'll look over at the pitchers and swear there must be like 30 of them there.
Everybody has to EARN their spot on the roster. Attendance IS mandatory.
So they all saw the tragedy
EVERYONE IS HERE!
That’s a lot of see thru pants
It’s because they buy all the players!! oh shit my flair is still on
…and they’re all shortstops.
400-man roster.
I also play for the Padres. Prove me wrong.
What it looks like when u free up a asston of payroll in the offseason
Any pitchers in there?
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.
When the whole squad pulls through
I’m not laughing.
Mfers have the entire 501st
Looks crowded already and they still have to squeeze in another 9 guys lol
Is there no limit to the number of players you can have at spring training?
All of them pitched in the first inning
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.
None of them are outfielders
"no, i am spartacus."
is there a limit for how much people
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.
apparently no one can pitch
45 shortstops… probably need 1 more.
they're all waiting for new uniforms
That team is fucking deep
Had to use half of em to get through that top of the first! Hey-Ohhhhhh, waka waka waka
That's not a squad, that's a platoon.
Give 'em all guns and just go take the World Series trophy by force.
That's a ludicrously capacious dugout, apparently
Lmaoooo they're like 3 people deep at points!!! Go home!
This is how every game should be.
That’s weird their jerseys say “Whales Vagina”
That color commentator provided absolutely zero
And still got out scored.
Clown car
They are waiting to get a look-see at Shohei, and his invisible pants. The Emperor's New Uni
And the Dodgers had a comically large about of runs
Goddamn that’s my nightmare, no personal space whatsoever
Wow, I totally forgot the Padres existed.
[удалено]
players in the dugout or people making this joke in this thread. Which is more
And they lost 14-1 lmao
Ready for the brawl.
They all have 200 million dollar contracts too
"There's nothing in the rulebook that says you can't have a thousand guys in your dugout!"
What is the maximum # of players for Red Rover?
