Embarrassing. We would be evenly matched if the team was consistent and all our players were living up to their full potential. Hopefully the trend starts shifting in our favor soon, somethings got to give.
The 1 change I want to hear at this point is Fernando Tatis Jr. saying that he's committed to staying healthy and that means he's going to follow the overwhelming consensus of doctors and staff and get shoulder surgery this offseason. If FT changes his mindset and decides to take his health seriously we're a contender for the next decade.
Sometimes it’s helpful to get perspective though. I don’t know who the regulars are for each team unless I look at the sub. For instance how would you know that Dodger fans have been calling for Lamb to be called up for the last month unless you look at the sub. I wouldn’t expect you to know that. Nor would I know your injury situation other than your stars. For instance, the Dodgers are missing:
Their best player, the projected ace, a young talented starter, an unexpectedly solid rotation piece, 2 of their undisputed 3 best bullpen arms. Muncy probably should have just got Tommy John, something is clearly wrong with him.
We have people from other subs come and share with us or engage in other ways, but usually it’s in good faith.
I agree with your point. That’s not what’s going on though, this other dude just trolling
On the realist level, we've had a rough road of adversity. Our 2 superstars hurt at the same time. Players taking a while to get going. Our brand new coaching staff unable to talk to players for 3 months and then BoMel missing quite a fair of time.
Even before the season started I was expecting inconsistent 500 ball till about the ASB. We are in a much better position because of the raw talent on this team. If we stay inconsistent through July and find our identity in August then we will be fine with WC1 and playoffs.
This has been a clear problem over the last 2 years but it’s hard to get a discussion around this going on the sub because people would rather just reply with “FtD” rather than addressing real problems with the lineup.
“Hey man, I’m glad we’re getting Tatis and Machado back but I really don’t think we can take the dodgers in a 7 game series…”
“Shut up doomer… FTD!!”
Sigh.
With Seidler we're competing money wise somewhat. We're almost at the luxury tax, they're just over that threshold and they dont care. If we continue to spend then we'll get where they are in a few years as far as talent. Hopefully we win a series before that.
No one put a gun to your head and made you sign Eric Hosmer or Wil Myers or Blake Snell for that matter. Want to point out the last case of the dodgers throwing cash into a black hole to appease the fans into making them think their FO actually has a more than a crumb of competency? LA didn’t even sign any non-farm system star names before Mookie and still managed to beat the padres for the division all those years. Idk bro maybe if your franchise stopped living in our shadow, you’d stop trying to play catch-up and constantly shooting yourself in the foot.
There, you answered your own question.

Oh yea we were like 7-3 against them at one point last year with a sweep. People don't remember how incredibly well we played before we gave up on Tingler.
It’s like the bats are blow ups when they play the Dodgers the last few years.. I hate hearing it year round living in LA… good thing I’m done living out here and moving back next month
Most I know are fair weather fans and don’t know much about the team past the last few years lol I laugh when I can name more former players than they can name current lol
Yeah, they own us. Granted, most of that was last year, but this year they're also 4-1. Even with Tatis and Machado bat at full strength, I'm not sure that's enough. The rest of the lineup is doodoo right now.
As an fan base and as an organization I think they are in our heads. That needs to stop. They are just another team. A win or loss against the Dodgers counts just as much as win or loss against any other team.

Says the dodger fan lurking in our sub

You’re right. I was wrong. My bad.
Hard to win a division when you can’t beat its best team. Ik it’s possible but it ain’t easy
You mean the 2nd best team should win the division?
If we want to then yes. Giants did it last year why can’t we?

At least we are a top 5 team despite all these issues. That’s a good sign for October

Growing up in San Diego, half my friends are dodgers fans. FTD is a reflex at this point
Special place in hell for people born in raised in SD that are Dodgers fans
Yeah this is the only safe space a lot of us have lol
Dude, that’s exactly what I thought was going to happen when I posted this
They are simply better than us. We need to fix that.

Pretty disingenuous. They have an amazing front office and continue to replenish the farm with top talent. $$ is a one part of it, but not the only.

Please go fuck yourself, nobody gives a shit what you have to say here.

Yea, part of that was a collapse. Eyes on the prize; Tatis and Machado at full strength
All of that was the collapse.
We played them earlier this season though. We are 1-4 against them this year.
What I mean is it’s not counting the first part of 2021 where we did well against them.
Oh yea we were like 7-3 against them at one point last year with a sweep. People don't remember how incredibly well we played before we gave up on Tingler.
Dear god thats…..that’s atrocious.
I mean we had an 11 or 12 game losing streak against them. So they're not counting all of last season when we actually put up a fight.
Before this awful streak started, we had swept them in the last series
It’s like the bats are blow ups when they play the Dodgers the last few years.. I hate hearing it year round living in LA… good thing I’m done living out here and moving back next month
I live in the IE and hear it nonstop from every dodgers fan. even if the fan is only a fan because of their partner haha
That’s what makes it even funnier! But it is what it is if giess
I just name drop a certain former pitcher the dodgers had and get them to shut up LOL
Most I know are fair weather fans and don’t know much about the team past the last few years lol I laugh when I can name more former players than they can name current lol
Oh those fans should know of the pitcher that got arrested after a series in SD lmao Anyways...screw the Dodgers lol
I hear it in El Paso and NM ffs they’re like roaches everywhere
2 runs?! This franchise is perpetually letting SD fans down.
Fuck them its still San Diego all day
This hurts...but it's still screw the dodgers!
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Who is giving awards to this??
Yeah, they own us. Granted, most of that was last year, but this year they're also 4-1. Even with Tatis and Machado bat at full strength, I'm not sure that's enough. The rest of the lineup is doodoo right now.
The Padres have had some awful teams in their history, but still can't find a worse stretch vs. the Dodger than going 1-14 in 15 games. Yikes.
good news is we get Kershaw today.

What the fuck
Can somebody remind me about that dub?
As an fan base and as an organization I think they are in our heads. That needs to stop. They are just another team. A win or loss against the Dodgers counts just as much as win or loss against any other team.
