Agreed. Only one hard hit ball in that inning. Suarez is fine.

In fairness, it’s far more understandable for atheists to feel confident in their position since there is literally zero evidence to the contrary.

Tough gig. Blamed for the losses, no credit when they win.

Pads didn’t lose. So credit to Shildt?

Been reading & enjoying mensrea’s takes since the Union Tribune forums days. Smart dude but the doomerism is too much. Padre fans hating on this team & the efforts by the front office are either trolling or being contrarians for shtick.

But racism is indeed an indictment of us as a society and people. 🤷‍♂️

Are you sure those racist bigots elected those Democrats? Seems more likely that they were simply outvoted by non-racist voters.

The Padres payroll in 1998 was 9th highest in all of baseball that year. It was a great year! But Towers didn’t win the chip, which is the standard you seem to be holding AJ to. 🤷‍♂️

Like all the titles Padre GMs won in the 60 years prior to AJ?

Miller is controlled for 4 seasons after this. The idea that this closes the window after this year defies reality. 🤷‍♂️

Padre homer here, and while stretching Miller out is an option, I’m absolutely fine with having a stud shoving 104mph at the back of the pen cost controlled the next 4 yrs.

Preller will find more De Vrieses the next few winters. That’s what he does. #TeamAJ

I hope we don’t lose in the NLDS. But if we do, I won’t blame the GM. Baseball is hard, there’s a lot of luck involved, & margins are extremely thin in a short series. AJ continues to put a winning, exciting, WS contending team on the field year after year. I’m more than OK with that.

The team is performing, and has been for years. About to make the playoffs for the 4th time in 6 seasons. This is literally the winningest period in franchise history.

You should go to a few games at Petco. 43k yesterday for a Wednesday day game. If that’s “destroying the franchise”……keep destroying AJ.

He’s acquired a ton of talent, that’s his job. He can’t actually hit or throw pitches himself.

Extend him now.

These doomers would have said the same thing last year, when we were a game worse than we are now. Ignore the negative Nancies.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Has anyone asked Trump if his “deals” with Columbia and Penn that “restore merit” prohibit those universities from using legacy in their admissions criteria?

My guess is we flip Cease to a contender for prospects that the Marlins want?

Seems like @dsmithshow.bsky.social and @johngennaro.com are more in touch with the fan base than a few salty, sour fans. Petco sold out daily, 5 Padres in the All Star game, and the Padres are 10 games over .500 and likely playoff bound for the 4th time in 6 years. Everyone should be happy!

Can’t please all the people all the time. If “deviating from the plan” means we get a playoff caliber team annually with fun young All Stars & multiple HOFers, let’s f’n deviate!

What a tool.

Giannis is right. Squad is playoff bound & only 3.5 games behind the Dodgers. Definitely some kinks for Preller to work out before the deadline but the negativity for a team on pace to win 90+ games is so lame.

Doomers gonna doom. I don’t get it either - but some people are just negative about everything.

If the Padres make the playoffs this fall, it’ll be the 4th time in the last 6 years. Ballpark is sold out every night, largely due to the winning and exciting players Preller acquired.

Doomer Padres fans: “Fire the guy most responsible for all this success!!!!!”

Stop DOOMING Corey! Have some faith!

Fernando needs a change of scenery because he had a rough May/June after an MVP April? C’mon dude.

Agree 100%. Trading Tatis would be insane for baseball & business reasons.

Despite a pitching staff riddled with injuries & an underachieving offense, Pads still a good bet to make the playoffs & no one wants to face them with a healthy King/Cease/Pivetta & bullpen. The burn it down crowd is lame.

The check boxes from his college application, which appear to fairly and rationally represent what anyone in his position would choose, is somehow “news”? Why hasn’t the Time reported which boxes Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adam’s checked?

Yes! For those suggesting Trump hijacked the Republican Party, then answer is the opposite. Reagan poured the concrete, Trump is just dancing on it.
