    So it's Bud Black's fault that the Padres decided to gut their farm and build their team around an outfielder on the wrong side of 30 with eroding defensive skills, a history of injuries, and a big contract?

    Weren't you the one trying to convince me how much he sucks because he started Brett Tomko in a would-be clinching game?

    Yes, but that was before I came to realize that baseball is just a stupid frustrating game, and he probably would have been no better off starting Peavy on 3 days rest than he was giving the ball to Tomko instead. Just like Peavy vs Josh Fogg didn't turn out to be the one-sided duel that was expected.

    To Bombko's credit, he didn't pitch all that badly for the Padres, even in the would-be clinching game.

    You seemed pretty adamant that Bud Black is a horrible manager after he lost your vote for Manager of the Year, and then once again in this thread

    But now that he's been fired that doesn't quite fit the narrative that every move the division rival made is a laughably stupid one.

    And his questionable moves five, six years ago have nothing to do with the fact that he's being made a scapegoat this year for Preller's fantasy baseball team not being very good at actual baseball.

    You troll the UT forum enough to know that I wasn't on the bandwagon of arguing that firing him is a cure all. But I'm not the one conveniently changing his tune here because it makes for better smack talk.

    At this point, with the fucking Giants about to retake the division without a fight, I'll take Bud Black if it means Donnie Dipshit finally gets the boot.
