That’s the other thing with Ricky and his lineups, which speaks to him not being a winning manager. He wants to keep everyone feeling good, not disrupt anything, he takes the long game approach, rather than making quick adjustments when needed. 
 

He simply isn’t a manager of a club trying to actually win something. 

You had an awesome post about this earlier today.  I agree, he has no sense of trying to actually compete. It’s quite disturbing.

Long game approach doesn’t work well in a 60 game season either.  Obviously I’m not suggesting he should pull a Parkman and overreact to everything, but you definitely have to be willing adjust a bit more in real-time.

Not even close on a lot of these.  Get Grandal out of the 4th spot if he’s in one of his slumps.

Yesterday you said Grandal fades late in the season. If this is what he looks like at the start of the season, what does the fade look like?

Giolito making some bad pitches this inning. He desperately needs to find one more pitch to keep hitters off that change up.

Or possible not throw everything up out of the zone. He was doing better earlier but went high for every pitch but one for the walk.

The Padres' underachieved in the second half and, despite some major injuries, GOODBYE Andy Green.   Hello Jayce Tingler.  You just the feeling other teams are more about winning/results than loyalty, stability, or the players' comfort level/clubhouse chemistry (whatever that gets a losing team and franchise that hasn't rediscovered how to embrace that mentality, like the Royals younger players 5-6 years ago.)
