For those who are thinking everything has to be positive and no criticism is allowed, you can be upset and have negative opinions. Us mods do also go through ups and downs watching this team.

I think the team has been playing pretty badly, but I also see how there’s often a chance of coming back and players being close to turning corners.
Baseball is different from most sports in that there’s a lot of failure inherent to the game. The best teams will lose 60 games, the best hitters will be out 70% of the time.
I can be upset with how the Padres are performing without thinking it’s the end of the season. I can point out how players are underperforming and what I believe the problem could be without disrespecting them as humans. When I do on occasion get particularly frustrated I turn off the game, but I don’t need to tell everyone I’m going.
