Throwback Thursday (of the Pads)
The rise and fall of the...Padres...again...deja vu ...regardless of who is at the helm...in recent times, there is but one thing in common...the GM...not the manager, not the coaches, not even the players...the GM...not that there hasn't been some good moves...but, the essence of the game of baseball is pitching...stock your draft picks with young hurlers...then, trade for pitchers, as teams are declaring 'fire sales'...starters, relievers, and closers...right now...in the eyes of many, the better season of the San Diego Padres franchise...we have the worst pitching staff of any contenders in the league...perhaps, in all of beisbol...the credit for that goes directly to... the GM...AJ Preller ...pretty obvious what the change should be...not the manager, not the coaches, but the inventory 'guru' of the team...time for a new direction, kids...pay close attention to the owners...it is imperative... Enough of my soap box on the Friars...just so disappointing... I keep...
