How can you not be r̶o̶m̶a̶n̶t̶i̶c̶ maniacally reactionary about baseball?

I know all fans feel stress when they have expectations for their team, but I feel like it’s a lot worse when the team has never won before.

If the Padres decide to push to the edge of the first tier of the CBT in 2026 like this year, they have about $34 million to spend according to Cot’s. That would put them about $15 million above this year’s cash payroll, but they could lower that through backloading contracts again.

Shields didn’t have a no-trade clause.

Can you trust someone else to know how to continue building on a house of cards?

I don’t know what payroll will look like, but with so much revenue dependent on maintaining similar fan interest, and with the roster’s core being so expensive, they are forced to keep payroll pretty high to keep the gravy train running. If they stop trying to compete everything falls apart.

Wouldn’t you expect the budget to increase next season? Attendance is up, ticket prices are up, and we’ve heard no news concerning cash calls this season. I’d hope that means they can increase a bit over this season.

I don’t really care that much about why Shildt quit or whatever happened. On to the next.

A lot of what we saw of him felt like performance, or when arguing with umpires was clearly performance. And it makes sense, if he felt like he had to perform to do his job and couldn’t just be himself, that it wasn’t going to be sustainable.

I get that it’s human nature to want to do and be more, but Niebla has a great gig that he’s really good at and he can probably do as long as he wants to (in this org or elsewhere).

I guess he knows he can always go back to it if managing doesn’t work out, but I’d be hesitant to ruin a good thing.

The confusion of the runner on first base makes sense to me, but the runners on 2nd and 3rd should have been tagged up and advanced easily.

It’s a better job, but he has familiarity with their org and not with ours.

So, since he was married in March 2020, he was separated/divorced before he even got the job as manager.

His contract is almost over, so they’ll probably cut bait this offseason.

No, it appears he sold his house in Irvine after he retired and moved back to the DR.
