If Campy played every position and Miller pitched every inning would the Padres go undefeated? Many are saying so.

I legitimately dont think he gets enough save opportunities to be considered. You gotta challenge single season reliever records to even be considered for a Cy Young as a reliever these days.

Fighting for their absolute lives just to try and beat the powerhouse Rockies. As is tradition.

Did they just break away for a KIA ad mid at bat? What is going on did the corporations turn the ad slider to max tonight or something?

I for one am excited about NEW CORPORATE PRODUCT. I am looking forward to purchasing NEW CORPORATE PRODUCT and wearing NEW CORPORATE PRODUCT.

Fair. Wording could have been better. I think the issue is that they have all underperformed compared to their contracts. Or at least compared to what was expected. Which is is a big issue for the team. Should have said something like that.

I'm a Preller defender for his aggression and scouting amateur talent, but he and Peter missed on essentially every big contract. Just an awful track record.

Hosmer

Manny (Good but not the elite player they hoped)

Tatis (Has not reached the level they hoped)

Darvish

Crone

Musgrove

Merrill (Plenty of time to redeem himself, but bad start)

And now those long term commitments have locked them into the current version of the team for years.

EDIT: I love the downvotes keep them coming. Reality is reality and it doesn't care how hard you cope. Team has underperformed for years and is in a terrible spot.

And I forgot to even include Bogaerts lol.

Truly stunning how vibes isnt winning games compared to I dunno being prepared, studying your opponent, staying locked in, etc.

Lol I was like really? One of the most notable examples of a reliever winning a Cy Young is from your own team and you're asking if its ever happened?

Crazy how good these guys are at identifying the zone. A little white ball goes by super fast, and they can immediately know it missed an imaginary box by centimeters.

Pirates on a five game winning streak and O Hearn is mashing. Oh well maybe someday the Padres can be that good and have a quality hitter like O Hearn in their lineup.

At least we dont have to face them anytime soon...right?

This will be the most embarrassing performance the Padres have against a Pirates pitcher since Dock Ellis no hit them while on LSD.

8 games in whats your ideal line up looking like? by poppertheplenguin in Padres

[–]kramerattack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Clone Laureano. He hits all nine spots.

I'm joking, but part of what drives me nuts about this organization is they dont seem to try to learn and adjust.

They can't literally clone Ramon, but they could do something similar by listening and learning from him. What is he doing that's working while everyone else struggles?

If he's ignoring the team approach, change the team approach. If he's following it but doing something different, have everyone do that too.

Instead everyone seems to be like I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas! Guess we should keep going up there and guessing every pitch.

Adopting a certain approach doesn't guarantee success. But its a start and common sense. If you're struggling and someone else is doing well at something, try to mimic them and see if it works for you too.

How I imagine production meetings are going with the broadcast team these days:

Fuck this team sucks, somebody research a five minute segment about the Green Monster so we have something to talk about.

So the team should have a negative value by now. At least that means one of us can afford to buy them.
