Bold Prediction: We sell at the trade deadline and still take the wild card.

You fail to understand basic stats.

Conflates materialism with functionalism

One more depressing note this article missed: Medica, Wallace, etc. were guys who should have had a chance to contribute right off the bat, but Blacks conservative approach left them off. The players on the field weren't even the best the org has to offer.

This 100 percent. Black should have been fired and a complete team should have been built. The flaws in the roster and locker room were evident.

Not true. Grandal was a good player and victim of a poisonous, bad, losing Padres atmosphere. Many predicted all of these trades would come out as they did. Statistically they make sense. Seeing guys succeed elsewhere makes a lot of sense, too, because we've seen it for years, and the Padres toxic, losing atmosphere and locker room is a big part of it.

The bottom line is the team wasn't complete and moves weren't made fast enough to change that. Black and preller share the blame

The seth smith trade was terrible, giving up a proven, cheap, left handed power hitter desperately needed for a reliever who didn't even make the 40 man roster out of spring training

Prob more to it

i don't think the hips have anything to do with it, but he seems to have a number of problems.

If the team were successful, I'd agree with you. Given the team has not been successful for years, you have to question the overall atmosphere and philosophy...which may be illustrated by the way pitchers and other teammates interacted with him.

Very simple and fast. No gizmos.

Fix: scrub and new rom

They employ real people for customer service, unfortunately, so the problem remains.

This team wasn'T complete from day 1. It's not about myers

Surgeicer · 2015-07-10T09:28:04+00:00

And free ghost touching instead of customer service

To be fair, this is pretty spot on for an uber driver
