Luckily he didn't talk baseball ops. Frankly to no surprise there was nothing of note except 2 things. 1. John is driving the Preller contract extension, not Greupner. 2. Dont expect Payroll to increase beyond maybe marginally

Greupner going on the fans at 8 and half the fandom wants the Morning Show to hold his feet to the fire snd the ither half rightfully doesnt want to hear his corporate ass talk Baseball Ops. In similar news, big opportunity for @section1904.com to see if their hypothesis is correct.

City Planner Plays saying San Diego just might now be his favorite CA city

SDFC TAKES THE WEST!!!

and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.

This guy's crashout has him really thinking he's a massive ball knower, despite failing to miss that it's their player development that allowed them to have all but one starter throw more than 70 innings and still win the West.

They must be so mad

I should have just stayed home

Nice job by Twitch to require one of their biggest streamers to have a meet & greet at their convention, ban the preferred body guard of the streamer from attending, then having no one close enough to stop said streamer from getting assaulted by some creep.

Going to be really funny when the Giants pass the Padres next year with Posey GMing and a rookie college manager leading the way while thus fanbase keeps drooling over the trade deadline package Preller sends out to fix several holes he created.

Ding ding. Lots of protest advice out there, but this is near the top of the list for everybody. No face, no thumbprint, nothing. Passcode only and do not provide it under any circumstances.

Me @830am: Hey if you want to go up to Fountain Velley with your aunt we need to be past Pendleton before 11 Wife: I told her pick us up at 10 (We're 50 minutes driving from the south gate)

I know this is an impossible ask but If you go, I recommend wearing a mask and leaving your phone at home. Don’t do it for the gram. Do it for the country.

And just last night the dictator said it was "fake news" that the 5 would be closed. Who could have seen this coming

people who earnestly try to argue that blocking certain accounts deprives u of important opposing viewpoints are assuming these certain accounts are posting in good faith which is a dangerous assumption tbh

All but like one has clearly been created today and just turning out propaganda. Would recommend blocking every single one

Like come on, Ohtani has been shit all post season and the day he finally starts a game that happens to be the clinching one of the series he puts up one of the best postseason performances in history? There's no way this shit wasn't rigged/scripted

He was partially correct. Ohtani is harming baseball but it's because he went to this team.

Like he's suppose to be so good at scouting and acquiring stars but the only Japanese players he's ever landed are Yuki Matsui, whom i love but isn't good and Kazuhisa Makita who sucked

Preller failing to land Ohtani twice I think is the perfect reason for why he should be fired

MLB couldn't handle their money printing machine sucking ass so they mandated the Brewers to throw meatballs right into Ohtani's swing path

No body ever offers any specific reason why it would be. "New GM means a rebuild" -False "AJ is always trying to win" -A new GM isn't? "A new GM would be cheap" -That's on ownership, AJ already is btw "No one can scout like him" -No evidence to support that "He brings in stars" -Any GM can

If you want to know how bad shit has gotten, my dad at age 77, if going to the No Kings rally this weekend. This is first time he has EVER done anything publicly political. We went through Vietnam, Watergate, all this other shit and never felt it necessary until now.

Watching Jeremy go through the 5 stages of grief in real time over this Shildt thing is quite entertaining

Big nothing burger from Lin and the little gremlin. Only thing of note was thay Shildt wasn't AJ's pick. He wanted Flaherty, which despite Shildt being an awful pick, that's even worse!

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

If the expanded Wild Card had existed back then, the Padres would've made the playoffs in 2007 and 2010, which would've made four appearances in six years (and maybe they don't sell at the deadline in 04). Similarly, had the old system still been in place, they wouldn't have made it in 22 or 25.

I also love that holding the team to the standard that Peter set with his literal words of " The goal is to win a world series" is an unrealistic standard to set for a guy who has been here for 11 years, had a competitive window open for 7 of those, and near unlimited resources for 3-4 of those.

Has anyone given thought that maybe busting their asses to win 90+ games is why they craped the bed last two post seasons?

Another day another round of Padre fans being so locked in on a new GM means automatically starting a rebuild

Saying "This is all stupid, it's fine if they win" makes me feel so icky

This is also the guy to refused to move Arraez out of the 2-hole despite everyone on the planet telling him that it's the best move for the team. He did that because he either somehow didnt know, or was doing it just out of spite because he's a douchebag. Both just shows he didnt have what it takes

Saying staff didnt have or known what it takes to be part of a "championship effort" is hilarious when he hasn't won shit! 5 playoff appearances, 1 NLCS, 3WC exits, 1 NLDS exit and each of those he was decisively outmanaged and ass kicked.

Ok so basically optiom 2??? He was costing them wins and a gigantic toxic douchebag behind the scenes, as guessed by how he was a shity douchebag in front of cameras and mics. So they were going to take certain powers away from him and as being a gigantic toxic douchebag he "retired" to save face.

Is it because he'll be tempted to open grindr while in church?

Option 3: combo of the two but add in his divorce. Think about it, you spend your whole life in baseball and finally at like 53 you find something outside of baseball, then it disintegrates. He was probably miserable at home, miserable at petco due to AJ and this bleeding over, then option2 comes up

I find it funny that AJ is having a zoom meeting with from his office in the stadium when they could just use the conference room

Seems like a pretty terrible time to start having the discussion

Listening to my boomer mom talk on the phone with att customer support is really revealing how that generation is so susceptible to scams.

Contender for favorite interaction of the month.

Also Bob Melvin is probably laughing at his home in Sedona

The more I think about it and little nuggets come out there seems to be really only two possibilities. 1. Shildt got tired of AJ trying to micromanage everything and pulled a Bob Melvin. 2. The "deep dive" they did showed that Shildt cost them wins so they were going to take certain powers away

👀

Oh yeah, this is Bob Melvin leaving 2.0 but this time without a team waiting

AJ is going to get to hire his SIXTH manager, LMFAO!

Again???

Shower thoughts is thinking how for the last 25 years of my 31 year old life the government has told me, through the media, some Muslim militia or another is a threat to America and must be destroyed. Just for the them to stop giving a shit while the militia remains

Out somewhere and just heard a kid say "Mom, mom, can you chatgpt this?"

It's honestly really hard to say who is a bigger danger to American lives, Trump of fucking RFKJr
