If you’re a Padres employee and can get a copy of this list please DM me or @hjpreller.bsky.social. There’s a free brunch for you and all your friends at Lips in it for you. Unlimited mimosas, baby!!

If the only prerequisite was being on the 2022 roster, I would have chosen Robinson Cano or preferably Nabil Crismatt.

Craig Stammen is the first manager in MLB history to have given up 4 consecutive home runs as an MLB pitcher. #History #Research #Journalism #CompletelyFreeAndAdFree

They interviewed Pujols so Greupner could get this phone number and a couple of selfies

Who’s the funniest option for next manager of the Padres who is already in the org and spying for someone in the front office? It’s gotta be Craig Stammen, right?

lol padres

When I moved to Arizona during the onset of the pandemic in 2020, I rediscovered poetry while wandering the desert. It came back in short bursts at first until I moved back to San Diego. This is my first book, a toe in the waters as I begin longer projects. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Hey, that’s me!

Don Orsillo just walked up to the podium and announced Yu Darvish had surgery. No one was even seated yet. They’re taking the chairs down

“2025 will always be remembered as the season bunts were fetishized and batting titles were prized above winning.”

hey @ajpreller you like what you see

Hoffman thought it was game 163 in 2007

¿invitarlo a entrar? 🧛🏠🤔 🔁 sí 🙂‍↕️ 🤍 no 🙂‍↔️

for any prospective Padres managers reading this out there, the correct response to “Where do you see yourself in two years?” is “estranged from my family, friends, players, assistant coaches, and you personally, Mr Preller”

Recorded this mini-pod with @dsmithshow.bsky.social this morning and then recorded an extra long mimosa pod with @hjpreller.bsky.social and @coreyastewart.bsky.social (out soon) and now setting up to record another Section 1904 pod. Turns out a manager retiring is good for podcasting.

NEW GWYNNTELLIGENCE PODCAST! The Pals welcome @johngennaro.com from @section1904.com to break down Mike Shildt (incompetent blunderer) "retiring". We also float a theory that our beloved Woods asking too many mean questions of Shildt in August was the final straw gwynntelligence.com/2025/10/14/g...

they had him like this all year

Non-zero chance Shildt was staring at the bottom of the glass in a Chili’s when the line about Johnson City in “Wagon Wheel” pierced his soul like the clarion call to home

Going with a poker analogy, the Padres are a very aggressive player who have overplayed their hand. They’re now pot committed with a decent hand, but they’re unlikely to improve moving forward and they don’t really know if they’re ahead or behind. It’s one of the worst places to be in poker.

As usual, the Padres have their eye on the prize by making BIG moves like firing yet another hitting coach

Obviously, I wish they’d have been patient and let prospects arrive in hindsight, but I respected, and still respect AJ’s ambition and willingness to go for it. It could have worked out if X, Y, and Z, but it didn’t. I’m not super resentful—just think you need fresh eyes and analyses at this point.

Looking forward to @hjpreller.bsky.social rebranding as Mike Jizzo

32 out of 33 scoreless innings now 😢😢😢

seems like this tells the story more than eating ketchup

Feeling great that The Athletic has completely validated the Gwynntelligence Podcast’s reporting on AJ being a very big choo choo enthusiast that always checks the Coaster and Surfliner schedule so he can go out on his balcony to wave to the engineer and make choo choo sounds

Maybe I’m just forgetting what the Dos Equis man was like but this article describes a 12 year old

Writing an article that basically says “not only has he not won a World Series, he also eats granola out of his pockets and has a series of plastic grocery bags instead of desk drawers” isn’t the awesome flex you think it is

Ugly Kid Joe had this gig stolen again smdh

Imagine having a fun, cool manager.

I love how the U-T doesn’t even proofread their headlines being blasted out to an entire mailing list

During their current 9-14 stretch, the Padres at one point won five-of-eight against mostly the Rockies, at which point Mike Shildt took reporter Kevin Acee to task for asking about their struggles, asking him if he knew the win % pace 5-of-8 was (101 wins). The win% pace for 9-14 is 63.3 wins BTW

“8,755” … typical SuckerCity hit piece. once the low-medium density buildout is done in the next 30-50 years you’ll be seeing 1.1 times that

It is fun and enjoyable to hate this football program and their weird hardcore fans

Powerful.

Interesting that the gentleman that was lead counsel under Mike Dee now runs the team and won’t release the files. Curious! WE’RE JUST ASKING THE QUESTION HERE!

The Padres went on this losing streak to distract the fans from the widespread demands to release the full, unabridged Dee Files. Don’t let them release 97% of the files and hope you’re satisfied. We need the client list and yacht logs!

Chris Ello was right, the six runs Cortes gave up are on us, the fans. Do better fans!

lol (padres)

No wonder the Brewers literally paid us millions of dollars to take Nestor Cortes off their hands

Genuinely curious how the fans are supposed to “fight back”? Are we supposed to sell out every game? Oh, that’s right. We already do that. Any excuse for that awful show to blame the fanbase. It’s exhausting.

*huffs carburetor cleaner* You know, Luis Arraez has 35 innings at shortstop in his career.

“we can have it start to become one of the greatest college football home-field advantages in the whole country."

O’Hearn just teabagging Ello tonight

And then a Bogaerts double play, what an L this inning for San Diego’s most hated afternoon drive time show

I like how Tony Jr is basically like who could have doubted O’Hearn there ignoring when he personally chastised anyone that believed in him

I think fans should focus a little less on tuning in to local sports radio and a little more on tuning in to our lord and savior.

We've been working very hard in the graphic design laboratory to come up with this hot new innovative product. The Man hid the true story by burying the files, manifests and evidence. Demand they release the Dee files by sporting this fresh shirt! hj-preller-store.creator-spring.com/listing/rele...

Tied for first??
