I think its safe to say that the Padres did as good as we thought the Giants were going to do in 2021 and the Giants did as good as we thought the Padres were going to do.
The Giants did better than the Padres were expected to do. The Padres were expected to be good, push the Dodgers, and probably win the Wild Card game. That was the general consensus, they would challenge for the NL West crown but ultimately be the #1 Wild Card team. No one saw them winning 107 games

Pretty sure someone’s gonna complain about that in the mlb. If an announcer does that, some whiny ass baby is gonna be like “why can’t he be like vin scully?”
being a padres fan my whole life i’ve been disappointed countless times. this season was different, i’m glad this video put out what i feel about this team
I'm from Massachusetts but I spent a couple of weeks in SD back in 2010, even got tickets for the home opener that season. When I'm not rooting for the Red Sox, I'm rooting for the Padres. I talked to more than a few San Dieagans(?), very nice folks, but pretty jaded when it came to local teams, which I understand. I'd tell them, your day will come, every team gets to the top eventually, just gotta be lucky enough to be there for it. I've been very lucky, but it wasn't always that way. I'm 42, started watching baseball around 1990, so I had a good 13 years of that hopeless feeling, it sucks. It's coming soon Padres fans, I can feel it. PS I was in SD for that Easter earthquake near mexicali. That shit was insane for a person from New England. Everyone around there was so bored by it lol
Being a recent fan to baseball and picking Padres over Blue Jays, I'm from Vancouver, I really like the fanbase, but it seems like the front office does not. I think injuries aside the main problem for Padres was that they played like highschool boys, didn't have someone in tough games to keep the morale up and an owner who is disconnected. I like the team a lot and I think our roster has great players the fans love, but those decisions like tossing Reyes are what kills the team, the way things are I can see Padres getting rid of half the team without a thought and we will need to continue getting behind and learning new players names it's frustrating and didn't pay off at all, that 2020 playoff was great and gave us so much to build on but it all collapsed so I'm not sure next season won't be worse, and then have another rebuild.
Yeah when I went a game in May the atmosphere and vibe was good. When I went to a game in September the week after the Machado and Tatis conversation. I was sitting a few a rows behind the dugot you can tell something was going on that affected evrything the evidance was there nobody wanted to acknowledge it. They played almost as if they where depressed even though they won that day.
At least you guys get to hear how great Don Orsillo is. Also congrats to the Braves! 4/15/22 Edit: Something I regret in this video is using the clip at 23:15. Not only was this clip just speculation and nothing has come from it, it's said that Hosmer has been professional through all the trade talks, which is the narrative beat writer Kevin Acee talked about in the clip following this one. The last thing I want to do is spread false information or unsubstantiated claims, especially about another person. I take responsibility and I promise to do better for the future.
Also, let's see what Tingler can do in a position where his job is to be the skipper's backup (he was just hired as the Twins' bench coach, replacing the late Mike Bell).
@@HufflepuffBaseball42313 exactly. I never understood why he said that. I think he mainly wanted to be on the west coast close to home and I guess the Padres felt like the best opportunity for him. As a Braves fan I miss him but it worked out well for us lol
As a Braves fan I feel your pain about disappointment seasons but after watching this video I truly believe that y'all are gonna be scary as hell to face next year once yall are healthy again.
@@raramcgee4982 Thanks. Even up by 7 runs going into the bottom of the 9th myself and a lot of my fellow Braves fans still were worried that we'd somehow mess it up. Felt GREAT to finally close the deal on a World Series Championship (or a Championship of any kind honestly) lol
Basically half our lineup forgot how to hit after the 2020 season. Myers, Profar, Nola, Pham, etc. all just regressed so much at the plate that even with Tatis, Manny, and Crone our offense went from top 5 to average.
Nola only played in 50 games. He was injured most the year and he wasn’t bad when he played. Profar and Kim were terrible and so was Frazier after playing so well in Pittsburgh:
Haven't watched yet. This season was hard but we got the first no hitter in our history and the fans were electric at petco. I took my daughter to her first game and we witnessed some great baseball including Manny's Grand slam and of course Melancon giving it up. We at least got fireworks after the extra inning game we lost. This was against the WS champions too. Edit: 16:53 ya that was the game we went to lol
That was one of the best games I watched all year. You guys put up a great fight, but the Braves came back time and time again. Hope you do good next year and beat those Dodgers!
I guess I shouldn't be too surprised at the Padres' collapse, considering Preller has been trying to reform the team in the image of the Rangers, and we all know the Rangers' specialty is collapses.
I was at the game where Tatis homered off of Pressly, I said and I quote "Y'know this Tatis guy is pretty good" to my dad like 5 seconds before he hit the homer, I'm gonna remember that for a while
No shot, I was at that game with my cousins and we had walked around to behind the boxes for the last innings and as Tatis came up one of my cousins said "He's gonna rocket one outta here." I told him to not jinx us and a few pitches later he sent one into the wall over our heads.
I know the Padres has had one of the most disappointing seasons in recent history with a mix of different factors (injuries, stabbing, trades that didn't go through, etc.) but I still believe they had the team to make at least the wild card and it also is unfortunate that it just happens two of the best teams in baseball are in the same division winning 100+ games EACH.
As a long time Dads fan this season utterly shredded me. AJ Preller and co screwed a team with huge potential out of what would have been a stellar season.
Fantastic video. Well put together, informative and entertaining. Just wanted to give you my compliments. Oakland fans understand the struggle mentioned at the end. Please take care of Bob for us, and good luck next season.
The Padres remind me of the 2011 Red Sox, those big moves during the off-season then a historic collapse, consequently leading to the manager getting fired despite an overall impressive track record during his time with the team, recriminations all around, and now it looks like an otherwise talented team is about to implode from the failure Expectations are a powerful thing, and the team that is *expected* to dominate is cursed more than most…
Amazing video, this season was so painful and the baseball world should know what we went through, but as bad as it was this also reminded me of the seemingly countless magical games we had in the first half. Love the personal bit at the end too, it's awesome for such a knowledgeable baseball youtuber to be a fellow Padres fan
I left San Diego end of June. I experienced 3 games and my last was the in 1st series of max capacity. Easily one of the best baseball games I’ve ever been too. This team was so fun to watch early in this season
Still unreal to think that only a few months ago, the Pads were literally fighting for the division against Los Angeles. San Francisco literally became what I expected the Padres would have become. So much for being the "Dodgers' rivals".
Fantastic video that Ill have to finish another day, I watched damn near every game and I know why.. halfway through and I’m like why am I doing this to myself?
Since I can remember, the Padres have always been my team. Right now, they have one of the best collection of players in the league. Hopefully, if Bob Melvin can get them to play like a team again as they were in the 2020 short season, they'll do much better than 2021. They have everything they need and all the players with the right stuff, they just need to focus more on helping each other instead of themselves. Then, who knows, they could go all the way.
Wasn't he also busted by the league for trying to trade a pitcher to the Marlins in 2016, but sent back (with the Marlins staff _pissed_ by the way) because there was an injury on the physical the Padres neglected to mention?
I hear you re: San Antonio's size and that they should probably have more than 1 pro team, but they've had so much success with the Spurs that I don't really feel bad for them
Coming from a Dodgers fan, of course there was pleasure seeing this collapse after all the trash talk and gloating coming from SD. But I do want to see you guys elevate your game and join LA and SF in making the NL West the most feared division in baseball.
The Daniel Camarena game still triggers me as a Nats fan. I can guarantee you that if that doesn't happen, Scherzer doesn't veto the trade to San Diego
And now Scherzer is whining about the Padres spending compared to their revenue and using it as a reason to gut the CBT for his megamarket team. He's a whiny bih
First time season ticket holder and this season was a roller coaster. Lot of bad games, but the game vs AZ where Tatis hit 3 bombs was electric. Also the series where we swept LA was an all-time atmosphere for a SD sports fan. Still keeping the faith!
Awesome video! Love the breakdown, and it looks like all you Padres fans seem to agree on why the team collapsed. I've gotta say though that as an M's fan, I know a little bit about the FO-clubhouse communication issue. Jerry didn't handle the Kendall Graveman trade as well as he should have. It seems these two GMs have that in common. But at least our guy can draft and develop lol. But in all seriousness, I hope yall make a good bounceback next year and at some point we get a Mariners-Padres World Series.
@@SportStorm23 I have grandparents right near SD, so I'm hoping we get it sooner rather than later. And idk about Preller and the Pads, but with the ASG coming, and possibly winning our division next year, it's looking like 2023 could be it for the M's
I love my San Diego Padres, born and raised! Everyone is super excited and ever since that playoffs covid season, everyone been thrilled and all petco parks seats have been sold out! San Diegan loves our Padres players! Manny and Joe and Cronenworth, Joe Musgrove can stay here also Tatis and Blake, maybe grish and will Myers, but those are my favorites ones! I hate it how sometimes everyone views san diego as a shanty tiny town city, it's the second largest city in California and 8th in United States, and with chargers in Los Angeles (still belong in San Diego!) it still all we have left! Also Jayce Tingler berries is a bench coach for the twins so it seems lul
You’ve earned a subscription from this Dodgers fan. All jokes and rivalry aside, the baseball fan in me would love for SD to finally win a championship soon. I just hope it’s not at the expense of the Dodgers hehe. Next year will be interesting!
Excellent video, it was my first season as a season ticket holder... I watch the team implode from a front row seat.. I'm from San Antonio too, so your comment resonatesmore in the depths of my sport loving soul.
I have been a padres fan my whole life and I will always be, and yes you are right, it has been a fun season with a lot of memories but also with some frustruating moments. I hope the padres can bring a championship to our city soon.
That Padres season was a huge disappointment. It got to the point where it was intriguing to watch how such a talented team became so incompetent. Their body language got noticeably terrible overtime.
I wasn't very shocked at the collapse. I was more shocked by the giants being better. Padres kept trash talking and trying to act like they're the dodgers rivals since last year especially. Giants took that personally this season
I think we are closer than people think because of the collapse. Obviously, we were horrid, but Niebla and Melvin are going to be huge for stability and development. We just need some pitching depth, OF power help, and a much deeper bench to be contenders. After all, it can't be any worse than last year with the talent we have
Great video thanks! To piggy back on your point of how the Dodgers and Rays develop players through all levels of their minor league system... My opinion on AJ Preller is this: His ego appears to be getting in the way so much that it is taking his intelligence, and making him into a fool. If he is so great at player development, why are there are so few impact major league players that they've developed in their minor league system? I am a Blue Jays fan and have no skin in the game. I actually like how there's always exciting news coming out of the Padres! A lot of people knock a team like the Dodgers for how much money they spend, however, when you look at their rosters, they have a ton of talent that they've developed in their system. They also have a ton of guys that they've traded for, that weren't big names, and made them productive. If you were to hypothetically take recently successful teams (Braves, Dodgers, Astros, Rays, and even teams like the Cardinals and the A's) EXACTLY as they were constructed, but you were acquire most of those players through free agency (money, player availability NOT taken into account), I don't think any of those teams get anywhere near a World Series. All teams that are perennial contenders (minus the A's since they trade away their team every year lol), tend to have a higher percentage of players that are developed in the organization (again, I know this is nothing profound, but this is a hypothetical and I'm not talking about finances, player availability, etc). This isn't a knock on who San Diego signed/traded for. I'm opining that Preller is not good for for the organization at all. All of the successful teams don't trade away their farm systems for a reason. It's not just to hold on to their farm hands so they can add 4 new big name players every year. Those teams are also depleting their farm systems, because their top prospects are also being lost because they're being promoted to the majors. Most seasons, all of those aforementioned teams seem to play better than the sum of their parts. Preller seems like he's just trying to get himself a ring, so he can make a name for himself. He doesn't seem to be content with building a perennial contender. I have no idea if I am correct, but he took over as the general manager in 2014 and went through a rebuild? If he's so good at player development, why would he not wait an extra year or two and consistently promote players to the majors to help them win?? Especially when they are considered a middling baseball market when it comes to baseball revenue. It doesn't make much sense to me, and sounds exactly like a guy that can't sit still and needs to micromanage everything. Does this guy need the spotlight on him every offseason and trade deadline? That's the way it seems from my perspective. This guy has been the GM for seven or eight seasons and hasn't figured out what perennial contenders do? The reason other teams don't emulate what those successful teams have done, is because they CAN'T! They lack the talent evaluations and player development. By all accounts Preller is one of the top GMs in that regard. Almost all of the teams in baseball, and definitely all of the successful one's, do not view their farm system like he does. Those other teams are trying to obtain the farm so they can build an organization year in and year out. Preller appears to be doing the exact opposite. I have no clue if I'm right, it just appears that he views the organization like he will not be there forever, doesn't care about the future, and sacrifices the whole organization and the fan base for instant gratification! They basically haven't made the playoffs in 15 years, he's been there for seven or eight with no success other than in a 60 game season. If I was a fan of the team, I would want to see an awesome product going out there most years. He's managing the team like he won't be there next year. The guy is obviously highly intelligent, but sounds like egotistical, micromanager to me. I wonder if those previous executives that complained about him were complaining about this exact thing? *Sorry for the long post. I'm not the best at articulating myself lol. Thanks again for the great video!!
For me, it was the fact that the Padres swept the Cardinals at the beginning of the year, then got swept by them at the end that marked how those 2 teams switched places
One thing i think contributed a lot was the game in Miami that Doug Eddings called with a bias I’ve never seen before. Just impossible to get morale back up when u don’t know if the ump is just going to decide to not call a game fairly
as a long time padres fan, this season was so heartbreaking and frustrating at the same time. I had watched them turn from one of the worst to one of the best teams in a matter of what, 2 seasons? Going to petco park as a kid was boring because there was no life in the stadium and they would always lose. Then I went to three games this summer and it was probably the most fun I've ever had. the crowd was electric. I was there when they swept the dodgers and watching that moment felt like a dream. I've never seen a large group of people that excited. then of course the end of the season came and it was just like watching the old padres again. very frustrating. I hope next season is better.
17:32 As a Pirates fan, I remember that collapse. It was rough, I really thought they were going to end the drought that year but September said otherwise
Can we take a moment to appreciate the stone cold assassin Andrew Friedman? Not only did he step in late and rip the heart out of the Padres by grabbing Mad Max, he also, with no one in MLB having any clue he was even available, got Trea Turner in the same deal. A guy who was among the handful of best players in the league, but also happened to arguably be AJ’s biggest mistake as Padres GM. Why Andrew gotta do them like that?
The Padres and Chargers have been disappointing me since I started watching in the 90s. The final insult was the chargers leaving to LA. Some call it the Spanos curse...some say it's our punishment for living in a beautiful city with amazing weather. Whatever the case...I hope to see a championship come to SD before I die....but I'm not getting my hopes up.
This was a fantastic video, well done. I'm no Stat Cast expert but it feels to me like Preller is building a repeat of those A Rod era Yankees teams - trying to stack the deck, not thinking about chemistry or long term vision, a win now or bust mentality. The Yankees squeaked out a WS in '09 but otherwise were perennial under achievers. Maybe its not a fair apples to apples comparison but from the outside it looks like that.
Love the video and ALL your content! Keep doing the good work and plugging away. You have a subscriber in me and I will let me fellow San Diegians know about this channel.
* AJ Preller DOES NOT seem like a player's manager. I mean a guy that the players consider a mentor and a friend. Money cannot buy championships without leadership and a true caring demeanor.
Hey just to give you acknowledgement, great video informative and frustrating to relive. Here's to 2022 let's go Padres!! Subbed to your channel Bryce Harper video was top notch also. Respect
I think its safe to say that the Padres did as good as we thought the Giants were going to do in 2021 and the Giants did as good as we thought the Padres were going to do.
Yeah pretty much
This is purely why I believe some giants fan in San Francisco worked some black magic and siphoned the Padres Mojo into the Giants lol
Another bit of irrony in this whole story
The Giants did better than the Padres were expected to do. The Padres were expected to be good, push the Dodgers, and probably win the Wild Card game. That was the general consensus, they would challenge for the NL West crown but ultimately be the #1 Wild Card team. No one saw them winning 107 games
No way were the Padres expected to win 107 games. But they were expected to contend and be in the playoffs.

Yeah it’s been a good 20 years here but I’d give my life for a baseball team here 😂
@@leekaratee4710 As a baseball diehard and someone who lives in Austin, I'm with you. I'd loooove a closer MLB team. I'd be there at least 20x a year
Coming from a Dodgers fan, of course there was pleasure seeing this collapse after all the trash talk and gloating coming from SD. But I do want to see you guys elevate your game and join LA and SF in making the NL West the most feared division in baseball.
Good job, they are the most feared. Every team is above .500
@@capri6542 now the NL East is the best division in the NL
The Daniel Camarena game still triggers me as a Nats fan. I can guarantee you that if that doesn't happen, Scherzer doesn't veto the trade to San Diego
And now Scherzer is whining about the Padres spending compared to their revenue and using it as a reason to gut the CBT for his megamarket team. He's a whiny bih
Thank you Padres for making my Mets an afterthought.
This aged like milk.
Those highlight reels were a chore to sit through man but excellent analysis and recap
First time season ticket holder and this season was a roller coaster. Lot of bad games, but the game vs AZ where Tatis hit 3 bombs was electric. Also the series where we swept LA was an all-time atmosphere for a SD sports fan. Still keeping the faith!
Get use to off all the disappointments.
U should do a video about how the giants did so good this year
This video is fantastic, I come back and watch it again often because its so well done
Awesome video! Love the breakdown, and it looks like all you Padres fans seem to agree on why the team collapsed. I've gotta say though that as an M's fan, I know a little bit about the FO-clubhouse communication issue. Jerry didn't handle the Kendall Graveman trade as well as he should have. It seems these two GMs have that in common. But at least our guy can draft and develop lol. But in all seriousness, I hope yall make a good bounceback next year and at some point we get a Mariners-Padres World Series.
That’s a dream World Series matchup
@@SportStorm23 I have grandparents right near SD, so I'm hoping we get it sooner rather than later. And idk about Preller and the Pads, but with the ASG coming, and possibly winning our division next year, it's looking like 2023 could be it for the M's
As a guy born in San Diego and living in Seattle, that would be a dream come true
I love my San Diego Padres, born and raised! Everyone is super excited and ever since that playoffs covid season, everyone been thrilled and all petco parks seats have been sold out! San Diegan loves our Padres players! Manny and Joe and Cronenworth, Joe Musgrove can stay here also Tatis and Blake, maybe grish and will Myers, but those are my favorites ones! I hate it how sometimes everyone views san diego as a shanty tiny town city, it's the second largest city in California and 8th in United States, and with chargers in Los Angeles (still belong in San Diego!) it still all we have left!
Also Jayce Tingler berries is a bench coach for the twins so it seems lul
Yes Chargers need to go home! Fuck LA
What a great video bro I’ll be here next year for the World Series champion padres video
Here’s to Bob Melvin. He’s gonna work out great for y’all. We’re gonna miss em especially since he was one of the few familiar faces in the dugout.
The big setbacks I remember from the past season: Doug Eddings, 3 series of rainouts, and Austin Adams plunking every single outing he pitched.
man seeing camerana's grand slam in person, being just feet away from the dugout, that was a different feeling. that was pure chills.
You’ve earned a subscription from this Dodgers fan. All jokes and rivalry aside, the baseball fan in me would love for SD to finally win a championship soon. I just hope it’s not at the expense of the Dodgers hehe. Next year will be interesting!
How would it not be at the expense of the Dodgers.
Dude that makes no sense
I love this channel; was waiting for this video! It's so satisfyingly long, like a documentary! Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
It's still a great time to be a Padres fan. Especially after our chargers left us it's nice to have this.
Excellent video, it was my first season as a season ticket holder... I watch the team implode from a front row seat.. I'm from San Antonio too, so your comment resonatesmore in the depths of my sport loving soul.
Good show! The Padres were really exciting and fun to watch when they were rolling!
I have been a padres fan my whole life and I will always be, and yes you are right, it has been a fun season with a lot of memories but also with some frustruating moments. I hope the padres can bring a championship to our city soon.
That Padres season was a huge disappointment. It got to the point where it was intriguing to watch how such a talented team became so incompetent. Their body language got noticeably terrible overtime.
The media made the padres to had expectations they cannot promise
I wasn't very shocked at the collapse. I was more shocked by the giants being better. Padres kept trash talking and trying to act like they're the dodgers rivals since last year especially. Giants took that personally this season
Giants said you forgot about us.
DODGERS TOOK ALL OF YOU OUT
@@luiscarrillo8178 They sure did. Slam Diego went bust and Giants were the giants lmao ✌🏾🤣
@@luiscarrillo8178 the Giants tired you out and then the Braves took you out. It evens out.
@@luiscarrillo8178 Atlanta says that cute. 🤣🤣🤣
hey man i just recently found your channel and i immediately subscribed ! keep up the good work you’re doing great :)
Thank you!
I can't wait for this season to start!
Eventhough this makes me sad and grumpy and tad angry , this is very very very well done thank you !!
As a Dodgers fan, watching the Padres collapse after sweeping them in the postseason last year, is almost as sweet as winning a WS
Well you gotta have something after collapsing so Jansen-like in the post season. You know, on a national stage, in front of everyone.
Yeah I guess getting beat in the CS still counts as a season win at the end of the day right?
Mark Grant is such a fun commentator..I love it
If only more people watched more of your content. This is top of the line content and more people should know about this.
Dude the quality on your videos only gets better.
Melvin is an EXCELLENT pickup and could be exactly what this team needs to get over the hump with their immense talent
Unless he's correct about Preller being an egomaniac and has Melvin neutered.
Damn. Watching this and reliving these moments was enlightening. Thanks for posting. 😎👍🏾
I think we are closer than people think because of the collapse. Obviously, we were horrid, but Niebla and Melvin are going to be huge for stability and development. We just need some pitching depth, OF power help, and a much deeper bench to be contenders. After all, it can't be any worse than last year with the talent we have
Great video thanks!
To piggy back on your point of how the Dodgers and Rays develop players through all levels of their minor league system...
My opinion on AJ Preller is this:
His ego appears to be getting in the way so much that it is taking his intelligence, and making him into a fool.
If he is so great at player development, why are there are so few impact major league players that they've developed in their minor league system?
I am a Blue Jays fan and have no skin in the game. I actually like how there's always exciting news coming out of the Padres!
A lot of people knock a team like the Dodgers for how much money they spend, however, when you look at their rosters, they have a ton of talent that they've developed in their system. They also have a ton of guys that they've traded for, that weren't big names, and made them productive.
If you were to hypothetically take recently successful teams (Braves, Dodgers, Astros, Rays, and even teams like the Cardinals and the A's) EXACTLY as they were constructed, but you were acquire most of those players through free agency (money, player availability NOT taken into account), I don't think any of those teams get anywhere near a World Series.
All teams that are perennial contenders (minus the A's since they trade away their team every year lol), tend to have a higher percentage of players that are developed in the organization (again, I know this is nothing profound, but this is a hypothetical and I'm not talking about finances, player availability, etc).
This isn't a knock on who San Diego signed/traded for. I'm opining that Preller is not good for for the organization at all.
All of the successful teams don't trade away their farm systems for a reason. It's not just to hold on to their farm hands so they can add 4 new big name players every year. Those teams are also depleting their farm systems, because their top prospects are also being lost because they're being promoted to the majors.
Most seasons, all of those aforementioned teams seem to play better than the sum of their parts.
Preller seems like he's just trying to get himself a ring, so he can make a name for himself. He doesn't seem to be content with building a perennial contender. I have no idea if I am correct, but he took over as the general manager in 2014 and went through a rebuild? If he's so good at player development, why would he not wait an extra year or two and consistently promote players to the majors to help them win?? Especially when they are considered a middling baseball market when it comes to baseball revenue.
It doesn't make much sense to me, and sounds exactly like a guy that can't sit still and needs to micromanage everything. Does this guy need the spotlight on him every offseason and trade deadline? That's the way it seems from my perspective. This guy has been the GM for seven or eight seasons and hasn't figured out what perennial contenders do? The reason other teams don't emulate what those successful teams have done, is because they CAN'T! They lack the talent evaluations and player development. By all accounts Preller is one of the top GMs in that regard.
Almost all of the teams in baseball, and definitely all of the successful one's, do not view their farm system like he does. Those other teams are trying to obtain the farm so they can build an organization year in and year out. Preller appears to be doing the exact opposite.
I have no clue if I'm right, it just appears that he views the organization like he will not be there forever, doesn't care about the future, and sacrifices the whole organization and the fan base for instant gratification! They basically haven't made the playoffs in 15 years, he's been there for seven or eight with no success other than in a 60 game season. If I was a fan of the team, I would want to see an awesome product going out there most years. He's managing the team like he won't be there next year. The guy is obviously highly intelligent, but sounds like egotistical, micromanager to me. I wonder if those previous executives that complained about him were complaining about this exact thing?
*Sorry for the long post. I'm not the best at articulating myself lol. Thanks again for the great video!!
Watching Max Scherzer give up that grand slam hurts my soul. I watched it live. I knew that the Nats were done after it happened.
Insane how he was rattled. Couldn't believe someone got to him like that.
Great video as always! Keep up the good work!
First video I’ve seen from you, great job 👌 subscribing
Great video!!!
Hopefully Yu will bounce back with a new pitching coach and some time to heal his dad bod.
dude is trash without glue on his hand.
For me, it was the fact that the Padres swept the Cardinals at the beginning of the year, then got swept by them at the end that marked how those 2 teams switched places
I know it was Awesome 😎 that we were able to Return the Favor After a Rough Month of May. That was the Start of 17 in a Row.
The start to a Losing Streak for us in May. Then the Start to a Winning Streak in September.
Great video, your work never disappoints.
Awesome video man!
One thing i think contributed a lot was the game in Miami that Doug Eddings called with a bias I’ve never seen before. Just impossible to get morale back up when u don’t know if the ump is just going to decide to not call a game fairly
Nobody saw this coming. Sorry bro. Thanks for the vid though!
This video is so well done. Great writing and great editing.
Those Padres uniforms are sexy , but anyway you should make a video about the Mets collapse once again , after being in First all year
that picture of Machado yelling at Tatis looks like a renaissance painting
as a long time padres fan, this season was so heartbreaking and frustrating at the same time. I had watched them turn from one of the worst to one of the best teams in a matter of what, 2 seasons? Going to petco park as a kid was boring because there was no life in the stadium and they would always lose. Then I went to three games this summer and it was probably the most fun I've ever had. the crowd was electric. I was there when they swept the dodgers and watching that moment felt like a dream. I've never seen a large group of people that excited. then of course the end of the season came and it was just like watching the old padres again. very frustrating. I hope next season is better.
Absolute banger
I was not ready for the footage from the NLWC from 2020 lol
17:32 As a Pirates fan, I remember that collapse. It was rough, I really thought they were going to end the drought that year but September said otherwise
Great video man
Can we take a moment to appreciate the stone cold assassin Andrew Friedman? Not only did he step in late and rip the heart out of the Padres by grabbing Mad Max, he also, with no one in MLB having any clue he was even available, got Trea Turner in the same deal. A guy who was among the handful of best players in the league, but also happened to arguably be AJ’s biggest mistake as Padres GM. Why Andrew gotta do them like that?
I have high hope for this off-season, let’s see if Preller can do something about the bullpen and hope to god Melvin is the manager we need
9:30 Muds reaction throughout the call is super underrated
great video and also painful to remember everything that happened clip by clip. lets go pads 2022!
Absolutely great video, instant subscribtion
The Padres and Chargers have been disappointing me since I started watching in the 90s. The final insult was the chargers leaving to LA. Some call it the Spanos curse...some say it's our punishment for living in a beautiful city with amazing weather. Whatever the case...I hope to see a championship come to SD before I die....but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Imagine being a Padres fan since the 70's.
Been a Padres fan all my life. All its been is pain since '08.
If you want, may I welcome you with open arms to the Dodger BLUE family ! Prettiest female fans in MLB !
Awesome vid. Glad I subscribed!
💌Well told story brotha💯 You made me care about a team i didn't care about.
Was waiting for this
This was a fantastic video, well done. I'm no Stat Cast expert but it feels to me like Preller is building a repeat of those A Rod era Yankees teams - trying to stack the deck, not thinking about chemistry or long term vision, a win now or bust mentality. The Yankees squeaked out a WS in '09 but otherwise were perennial under achievers. Maybe its not a fair apples to apples comparison but from the outside it looks like that.
Love the video and ALL your content! Keep doing the good work and plugging away. You have a subscriber in me and I will let me fellow San Diegians know about this channel.
I see Hosmer as the players do. The dude was my favorite guy on the royals world series appearances
Seeing that Padres graph alongside the Cards graph gives me so much joy as a RedBirds fan.
That Preller guy parted with like 3 young all stars oof
Having a parade just because you made the playoffs is embarrassing.
The whole video can be condensed to: to many injured pitchers.
Anyone else here after the FT JR. Suspension?
* AJ Preller DOES NOT seem like a player's manager. I mean a guy that the players consider a mentor and a friend. Money cannot buy championships without leadership and a true caring demeanor.
The Show 21’s intro made me a small-time Padres fan ngl
Hey just to give you acknowledgement, great video informative and frustrating to relive. Here's to 2022 let's go Padres!!
Subbed to your channel Bryce Harper video was top notch also. Respect
That San Diego play by play guy is INSANE!
