@Raskindphoto I mean duran is 2/20 so they will and should choose Fermin

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

Is Fermin a major leaguer next season?

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

Outside of Sheets, Andujar, and France, every single bat in the Padres lineup is playing well below their averages.

Every coaching staff has been blamed for the offensive struggles in the Preller tenure, but watching these guys day in and day out makes it seem that this is the worst group yet. 29th in OPS is beyond horrendous.

Obviously, it's not normal to make coaching changes in the middle of the year, but something must be done.

Whether that's entirely adjusting the approaches, swing paths, etc or bringing in more resources/coaches, there has to at least be an attempt at improving.

@padrespain1 was obvious at the time

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

@Raskindphoto lol needs that Crone IL stint

[MLB @MLB]

Jacob Misiorowski’s pitches are faster than an Arcanine using Extreme Speed 💨

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

@Padreshub While true, we all expected to pay a hefty price for a generational hitter. I don’t think the front office should have regrets for doing everything they can to make a World Series push. It was also with the hopes we’d have Tatis back in 22.

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

@DevineGospel Okay but that’s like a hydrogen bomb vs a coughing baby

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

@jonschaeffer He sucks

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

Can't wait for Randy Vasquez to outduel Ohtani tonight!

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

@NBCSGiants You guys must be winning games with how good Arraez has been!

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

Fernando Tatis is legit on pace to have one of the biggest power hitting fall offs ever.

It’s got to the point where it’s not even about when is he gonna turn it around, more just how historic his decline will be.

One of the most disappointing things in sports I’ve witnessed.

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

May as well have robot umps if these guys can’t do ABS correctly 🤷‍♂️

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

The Padres suck until the ninth inning.

Then, they are the best team all time.

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

@SDPadsFanTapls In theory but our team is run by AJ. Dude has kept basically one prospect (Merrill) while being a contender

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

If you’re AJ Preller, there’s two options for what to do with Ethan Salas: call him up or trade him.

We know this is how AJ operates, so I say fuck it, and call him up.

Worst case is he gets sent back down.

[Friar Talk @padrespod]

@madflabby Yeah but he’d push to be on the opening day roster next spring
