Yeah, this isn't surprising. Given the expectations that I and many others had for them this season, their .500 finish is really disappointing.

 

[HisIceness]

San Diego truly is a cursed sports town.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

They just never recovered after the Dodgers snatched Scherzer away from them

 

[Canes]

They will still probably sign another Hosmer in desperation this offseason.

Another clown franchise in MLB. An epidemic at this point.

 

[Terry Yake]

a veteran manager will do wonders for them. no more jayce tinglers or andy greens

they've still got a solid team with great pitching and should contend for the division next season

follow the CWS lead and bring in Jim Leyland

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Gotta blame someone since you can’t fire all the players.

 

[DougieSmash]

They should fire Preller.

 

[SimpleJack]

Shocking

 

[MMC]

 

[Jumptheshark]

the first few days after the season ends there are always sackings

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Can’t fire all of those huge contracts.

Are you sure he knows how to log on in the first place?

 

[Tecumseh]

They should fire Preller.

I’m not sure why no one has considered this. How many underachieving teams has the guy constructed now?

He has certainly gotten a lot of opportunities and chances to re-do his mistakes, can't imagine he has many more

There is no force in the solar system greater than Dusty and badly underperforming teams that never win a World Series. This is fate waiting to happen

 

[Unholy Diver]

I wonder if Bochy is ready to return?

He doesn't strike me as a glutton for the punishment he'd be in for. Although he'd be solid. So long as they don't settle on some new guy who just retired as a player a few years ago see: Ross, Kapler etc. That team needs a seasoned hand.


Heh maybe folks have forgotten Ozzie Guillen's remarks about Castro

punishment?

SD isn't exactly NY or Boston

Neither are SF and the LAD. Good luck getting SD over that hump and the expectations that come with it. Not saying they can't do it but the Padres are expected to "win now" and I have a light amount of skepticism for any manager who takes that job.

But if I'm wrong that's good by me because I'd like to see the Padres succeed

No more memes. I've given it enough thought to melt my brain and maybe Clint Hurdle is an option. The guy has years of experience, he's done at least okay in the playoffs (an NL pennant after all) and has not been out long. His work with the Pirates is a little underrated imo. I don't if he is the best choice but I know he's not gonna crap himself having that job and make it worse.

I can't say for certain he'd get a World Series winner out of them as soon as next year but if the front office plays next season right and they stay healthy the idea won't be unrealistic in the very near future

Again... Maybe
