And there's no other way out unless she drops the lawsuit?

Yeah. Padres are a status symbol now. That should help.

You think they can't afford to litigate?

We always knew they were Dodger fans

5 months after abdominal surgery, I somewhat unexpectedly deadlifted 420. I'm stoked.

I'd say he was hired specifically for the first thing.

The manager's main jobs are to get player buy-in for what the front office wants to do and to be the public face of the team with the press and the fanbase. There's no reason Stammen couldn't be good at both those things.

What's interesting is his teams have always been extremely international

Pretty unexpected, but Stammen was looked to as a leader during his time here

The new moneyball is a manager players will listen to but will do what the front office wants

Ah I get u

BoMel strikes me as pretty different than Bochy

Bruce Bochy seems philosophically aligned with Preller so he might be a good fit from that perspective, and a team full of veterans is Bochy's wheelhouse. But is it weird to say I still don't think Bochy is who the Padres need? It probably is weird but I already said it.

Yeah same. Part of me wishes I wouldn't look up things like that lol

I feel like those are kinda the same thing? Generalized "stuff outside your control"

BUT -- this stat you really might not want to see:

Padres xWOBA: .317
Cubs xWOBA: .268

I didn't want to see this, but I couldn't look away. Padres 2025 postseason batting line:

.189 / .243 / .305

.242 wOBA

I agree. Which is why he should be fired if he won't do it

Preller needs a VP to balance out his weaknesses. With Peter gone It's time to be the Guardians or the Rays. If Preller is able to do that then great. If not, that's fine, but the Padres can't afford him anymore.

If I were in charge I'd offer Preller an option. Tell him we'd love to keep him but we need some changes. Modernize the front office and focus on efficiency. His spending tied up too much money on aging players. He tried to be the Yankees but it backfired.

The team is about to come into a new era of austerity. If Preller couldn't do it with unprecedented spending, they're going to need something different now.

Yeah the De Vries trade broadcasted his lack of job security

Tatis was so far behind that strikeout pitch. Ughhh

If this it I think it may be time to part ways with Preller. He's great at finding talent, which is the hardest thing in baseball to do, but chose to trade most of it away. He spent tons of money and the team is now backed up against a wall because of it, without much to show.

Hoerner time that jump terribly and made the play look much harder, yet is getting showered in praise. Sports are funny

Padres in the playoffs: behind by 2, playing for 1

Imagine not wanting replay review in baseball

(doesn't include postseason)

mason miller 1.1 fWAR

In just 23 innings of work, Mason Miller already ranks 5th on the entire Padres' staff in pitcher fWAR
