    I think with the transfer portal the way it is now you really can't let a coach finish out a season. Realistically they'll need the new coach in place whether it be elevating Leonard or an outside hire as soon as possible.

    Never in doubt!

    Thank you #27

    Seriously! We've been good for 4-6 yards per rush.

    Not sure who's worse: Stearns at BP staff construction or Gutey at WR corps construction

    Guys I don't think we're gonna get to bite the apple ☹️

    Williams can't be the closer next year. Good 7th/8th inning guy.

    Love should've been brought in in the 3rd Quarter lol

    4th and 1 let's throw into double coverage!

    Packers are making the Badgers look like The Greatest Show on Turf

    Only way I'm ok with firing CC is if he's replaced with Lou Palsmo
  13. jjgott
    Was just going to say he hasn't been the same pitcher since that game. I understand the financial benefits to being a capital C closer, but man I wonder how it would've gone if he would've stayed our "break in case of emergency" swing man out of the pen.

    The Yelich hate is weird. He may not be in the running for the MVP like he used to but he’s still the best hitter on the team.

    I also think we saw what the Cards got in Mikolas and figured Lindblom would do the same thing for us
  16. jjgott
    It’s funny that we simultaneously try to delay prospects coming up and also look to trade them away before they reach free agency. If we’re going to trade them in year 4, what difference does it make if we get that “extra year”? If they can help the major league team win games they should be up.

    At this point I'd rather just give Small an extended look
  18. jjgott
    That’s precisely my point. There’s a difference between looking to make the playoffs and looking to win a championship. Are we taking multiple bites at the apple or nibbles? Realistically this specific team had flaws and probably wasn’t the team to go all in on unlike 2018 or 2019. And Like NBBrewfan said, it would be dumb to just spend for spending sake. But when you are sitting in first place and management says “good job and we wish you luck, but we really like our chances in 2027”, I can understand why Lauer and others on the team were frustrated. .

    My bad on the 2022 payroll. I saw a site with a different figure, probably from opening day. But what economic conditions existed in 2012 to afford a top 10 payroll that don’t exist in 2022? We’ve just gone to the playoffs four years in a row, hopefully 5. I’m sure we got some extra $ from that via ticket sales and postseason revenue sharing. Prior to 2022, the country experienced the longest bull market in history. Media rights deals keep going up and up. We’ve run below league average payrolls the whole time. Where did the money go? Again, I don’t blame the current team being annoyed by the trade deadline. This is 4 years now where Mark A. and Stearns tried to be cute and hope everything clicked vs. going out and trying to win a championship.

    While I certainly understand the "many bites of the apple" approach, I worry that with the expanded playoffs, we may end up like the late-era Kohl Bucks teams that did just enough to get a 7 or 8 seed. It helped the bottom line of the owners to say we were a playoff team, but the Bucks couldn't truly compete against the top of the league. Look what happened to the Bucks when Edens/Lasry decided to pay the luxury tax. Mark A. says there's always money for moves to improve the team, but outside of 2018, it always seems like we are just nibbling around the edges. I can sympathize with Lauer's frustration because the current players may not be around for those "bites of the apple." They want to win now. And frankly, so do I. Mark A. has earned the benefit of the doubt that he will never truly strip the team bare like the Orioles or Pirates, but I remain skeptical he'll do what needs to be done to truly contend for a championship. I think he's very comfortable making the wild card game and saying aw shucks when we get beat by the Braves or Dodgers. Right now we have a lower payroll than what we had in 2012 (in today's dollars), even though revenues have gone up tremendously over the last 10 years. We were a top 10 payroll in 2012. No reason why we can't be a top 10 payroll if we wanted to truly contend.

    It’s bad enough we’ve been losing but it’s worse how boring we’ve been doing it
  22. jjgott
    Sure but they can just trade Soto again and get back quality prospects if they don’t win in the next couple of years. What this trade shows is that the Padres actually want to win and realize prospects don’t really matter because all it takes is a trade or two to “re-stock”
  23. jjgott
    Wonder if that would've been a HR with last year's ball?
  24. jjgott
    No love for Brooks "The Toolshed" Kieschnick? Dude batted .300 with 7 HRs and a .970 OPS in 2003!
