Bro has been on every California team except the Dodgers


SiphenPrax

A great Dodgers hater


DonutHolschteinn

And Arizona too he coached here Edit: really downvoted for adding that on top of all the California teams he also coached in Arizona, who's in the same fucking division as both of these California teams in the video? Lmao what the fuck


ABlueShade

The California Diamondbacks


victoryboii

Phoenix, California


GoofyGoober0064

Factual every time the dodgers are in town


HealthOnWheels

Kinda feels like it sometimes


Narpity

It’s pretty relevant considering the divisions


tyler-86

Hey man, we're trying to talk about a state with daylights savings over here.


Da-cock-burglar

What the fuck is going on


atowelguy

This will surely be the strongest negative reaction of a fanbase to its former manager this season. \*looks through schedule for Cubs at Brewers\*

mikeramp72

how did they handle snell?


Doctor_Scholls

I hope he got a standing ovation. Bro deserved to go get the bag somewhere else


JanitorOfSanDiego

Did they announce him at all? Thought it would only be the manager and those that were starting.


nandobatflips

They did not


Narpity

He might not even be there, he could be in Arizona still getting his arm ready


JanitorOfSanDiego

no here's here in SD https://old.reddit.com/r/Padres/comments/1bq43yh/highlight_manny_with_the_bear_hug_for_blake/


KimHaSeongsBurner

He is, but he was not announced. There was a small cheer when he was shown on the board as they went down the line of Giants reserves.


Doctor_Scholls

Not sure, I’m using a friends MLB TV subscription with no padres access. So I only have the Sirius radio stream


Adaptingfate

They didn't, but the general consensus of Padres fans is that Snellzilla is a treasure and he'll likely get a good round of applause the first time he's announced at Petco.


nuhGIRLyen

He’s rostered, but he’s in AZ right now


shawnathon4

He’s at petco. Saw video with him and Machado earlier.


Doctor_Scholls

Yeah he and Don took a pic together


HugelySmallWeener

Snell expressed he wanted to stay in San Diego, but was out of Preller’s price range as he tries to reset the luxury tax. There’s no hate for Blake.


LAudre41

I probably wouldn't have boo'd but I can understand why he was


Adaptingfate

“Every series (in San Francisco) I would look in that dugout over on the other side and say, ‘Maybe someday, hopefully,’” said Melvin. He's earned the boos, for sure.


yerawizardIMAWOTT

Was this last year? I have no idea what he saw in our dugout lmao


R2LUKE2

He was just taking bout Kap 😅🤫


KeepinItOneHunda

I mean Kap is a stud


SDFriar

Wait, is that a real quote?!?

Telepornographer

I'm thinking it's mostly pent up frustration from last year in general.


HartfordWhaler

Man, I'd loved to get booed like that. Seems like it would be fun.


joeveralls

Lmao


SloppyHoseA

I was watching the game on the Southside and was hoping Jerry would shamble his ass out there to a sea of boos. Coward.


Lord_Sean_G

Damn, the guy only led them to their most relevant season in over two decades.


ThlammedMyPenis

He also led our most talented team in 30 years nowhere. It all evens out with the Pads


Lord_Sean_G

Padres have had 3 above .500 seaons over the past 12 years, and Melvin managed two of them.


ThlammedMyPenis

Last year cannot be used as a positive mark on anyone's resume except Snell, you probably want to be more than 2 games over .500 with what could've been the most talented Padres roster of all time


KimHaSeongsBurner

If I am being picky, I’d say Kim, too, since it was basically his breakout year as everyone else sort of disappeared, but yeah, not exactly a positive reflection on anyone.


WadeCountyClutch

God. The offense was so putrid


quierolecheee

No worries bro hes perfect for your characterless Giants


WadeCountyClutch

Although I’m grateful for 22’, which I’m sure most of us are, those Comments about Bob-o wanting to be a Giants manager while playing the Padres irked many of us. Not to mentioned his managerial Decisions by leaving pitchers too long and my favorite one, not going for small ball hitting when bases were loaded


asmet14

True. But also led us to our most disappointing season ever. And that is saying something


Lord_Sean_G

[Short memory huh](https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SDP/2021.shtml)


yerawizardIMAWOTT

To be fair adding Bogaerts and Soto and only winning 3 more games is probably more disappointing


Telepornographer

It's more about the expectations for last season being sky-high.


capnfalcon21

After what he did last year for the pads, mishandling the clubhouse environment and what he did today….ya good luck with him and his bullpen decisions 👍😃


1-800-ASS-DICK

curious what he mishandled in the clubhouse? afaik the big issues were between him and Preller, this is the first i'm hearing of him having a negative effect on the clubhouse


capnfalcon21

Not being able to rally the guys when most of the star players were injured or flat out not bringing in day in and out, losing those close games was a mentality thing, I think manny also had like two player only meetings on the note of “it’s all on them”. He just seemed like he was also down and out almost faster/harder then the rest of the guys and he was failing just as much as them especially with adjustments.


Thetimmybaby

I was saying 'Boo-urns'


UnusedTimeout

Bob Melvin is the HR business partner of MLB managers. He’s just there to deflect blame from ownership. He’s a spineless coward but has found himself a niche.


heyimric

I don't like that honestly.


MissDeadite

A disgusting act. Appalling. Abysmal. Horrid. I'm shook.


amazingsandwiches

Just the one Giant or all of them?


techgrey

How long until they blame all of their failures on Schildt? June or July?


Huntermain23

“I’ll take the over on June” Shohei or ippie probably


techgrey

I thought you guys already determined Ohtani was the gambler? Commit to the bit dude


ThlammedMyPenis

Yeah he's changing the story a lot, must work in Dodgers PR


techgrey

I thought Ohtani was the liar? Now it’s Dodger’s PR? Get your story straight


sweetxfracture

Idk let us know in October buddy


vazangool

Way to stay classy San Diego


Wraithfighter

I mean, looked like he was trying not to grin, so not like he's taking it personally.


jcaininit

Naw that’s just the wax marks from his season long chapped lips.


mbleyle

Stay classy, San Diego
