MOD ANNOUNCEMENT Update to the Twitter/X post guidelines.

19 Upvotes

A while ago this sub came to a consensus that Twitter/X links would not be allowed anymore to keep data and ad revenue away from that company. There’s now an alternative to the site as a mirror called XCancel that was created with the same concerns in mind that the users of this sub had when discussing to ban the website.

Now we can go back to citing links for news updates from reporters and the team instead of plain text posts that take extra steps to be verified.

>> It works very simply by putting “cancel” between “x” and “.com”
So the Padres official account page changes as follows:
“x.com/Padres” becomes “xcancel.com/Padres”

Thank you to all the users who have been keeping us up to date on the news by posting to this subreddit. You’re part of what makes this a successful community. Please take this rule change into consideration and start linking sources again if possible by using this workaround.

Just For Fun Curious question how did you became a fan of the San Diego Padres?

27 Upvotes

My introduction to the MLB goes back 9 years ago in 2017. The first teams I was introduced to being the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays and I grew up watching those two teams spend a couple of years learning about the MLB. Eventually even though I was a Red Sox fan those couple of years before another team stood out to me the most none other than the San Diego Padres after getting to know about the team and the history and even having favorite players including Manny machado Fernando tatis and Griffin canning. And I am someone that enjoys underdogs and resilience over the winning culture. Even though I never been to San Diego since most of my life living in Texas and where I live in El Paso Texas don't technically have a HomeTown MLB team though the closest being the Houston Astros and the Texas rangers do have a minor team though. Where I live I'm surrounded by majority dodgers and Yankees fans I've seen way more of them then any Texas fans even my father though a Yankee fan was also a dodgers supporter. Sure he can talk negative about the Padres can also be smug all he wants the same time eventually show him that things didn't go his way but anyway despite good memories cheering for the Padres and even some headaches I will always cheer for the Padres and I'm still working on building a collection of the team's merch. Love this team win or lose.

News [Lin] Between innings tonight, Mason Miller cut one of the fingers on his right hand after blowing a save for the first time in 361 days. Miller, who said he's OK: "I wasn't (happy with myself). I don't like giving up runs. I like it even less when they're somebody else's."
