Guy is looking like an epic bust a year+ in. What a $#!+ start to the season.
Six more years of guaranteed money, yikes!!

Like I said in an earlier post, it looks as though he has yet to be able to adjust to National League pitching. I wouldn’t ever give him a pitch above the shins!!

The whole Padres team is the $#!+s hitting and Hosmer should be taking some of the blame. There is no excuse. He has guys to protect him and is not producing. This hurts the rest of the team because pitchers are not afraid to pitch to him and takes an AB away. Two years of garbage hitting. Might be a coaching issue.

Not sure if you’re talking about the hitting coach but the team has changed batting instructors like most people change their underwear. Doesn’t ever seem to do any good. |

Myers, Tatis, Machado, Franmil, and (to a lesser degree) Margot are all performing pretty well or exceeding expectations. The Franimal may have a low BA but he is hitting with pop and has a very respectable OPS. www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SDP/2019.shtml |

Machado should be hitting higher but Hosmer is sucking the whole team down hitting under .200. Hope he finds his groove because he is an important part of the equation. It is early, but if Hosmer continues to flail, then sit him!! |

He has a negative WAR so far this year, is struggling at the plate and he isn’t exactly putting on a defensive show at 1st base. Bring up Naylor and sit Hosmer 2 times a week. Sometimes that gets a veteran out of a slump in a hurry.
The hitters graveyard is on its way to claiming another all star bat.

Or....we could calm down and not overreact to minute sample sizes when Hosmer is posting a career best groundball rate, a vastly improved launch angle and a much better line drive rate. Josh Naylor hasn't been performing at El Paso well enough to warrant a promotion. And he's playing exclusively left field. So, firm no there. |

Josh Naylor hasn't been performing at El Paso well enough to warrant a promotion. And he's playing exclusively left field. So, firm no there. How is that working out for his overall stats? Advanced analytics are great, but unless you're showing us that he has been unlucky due to a highly unusual BABIP or something (not the case) this seems like bull$#!+. It's not a "minute" sample size when you also factor in his 2018 season, Ryan. To me, the best general managers, coaches, baseball men in general are at their best when they combine old school scouting and "what the eye sees" with the readily available and fascinating advanced metrics/analytics today. It seems like you're way, way too immersed in advanced analytics, like a kid with a new toy- to you, even his OBP, OPS, and flat out PRODUCTION is irrelevant? You've long been a favorite poster of mine, but your refusal to criticize ANY Padre, ever - detracts a bit from your credibility. These are professionals, not your sons 8U team. So far, Hosmer has been a massive disappointment. At least, he had a nice weekend. Hopefully he fights his way out of this slump. |

Can they send Hosmer down to AAA to work on his skills? And, bring up Ty France in order to show us what he can do playing first base?

I've criticized Renfroe, Reyes, Kinsler, Pirela, Logan Allen, Quantrill and others on here openly. Just because I look at data that the average fan overlooks doesn't mean I'm blind to reality. I don't care about last year right now. He underperformed in 2018, in large part thanks to a horrific July where he wasthe worst hitter in baseball. In terms of 2019 though, 20 games is a ridiculously small sample size. Look at some of the numbers across MLB : Tim Anderson had a BABIP average of .585 at one point last week. You think that's sustainable? Franmil Reyes is literally the unluckiest hitter in baseball right now based on his data and exit velocity. (This kinda stuff matters because the harder you hit the ball consistently, the greater the chance those outs become hits over time.) I'm not ignoring anything in regards to OBP or whatever category you want to choose. Those things take more than 20 games to stabilize. We should just release Machado if that were the case, since he is posting career worst numbers in almost every offensive category. |

Eric Hosmer makes roughly 13k per plate appearance, so my patience is wearing thin. It’s been over a year and we have yet to see the .290 25 HR hitter he was in KC. Maybe it’s the shift, maybe it’s the ballpark, but he is striking out too much and leaving too many runners in scoring position. Fine, if not Naylor then France, he’s hitting right now. Losing a few starts to a younger player could put Hosmer’s focus back in place. |

Although he had a "better" weekend so let's see how he builds on that.

Manny is still having a pretty fine season though, so your overly dramatic take for emphasis misses its mark. I think to be fair, there's a pretty big difference between posting a .790 OPS with 4 jacks already when you're a career .820 OPS.......and being what Hosmer has been this season and last for San Diego. Enough from me though, I am rooting for the guy to get it going and be the borderline All-Star he is being paid to be. I am confident he can turn it around. |

The negative WAR is telling. I was only referring to your comment on his leaving runners on base, I am quite sure we're in agreement on his overall production in 2019 sir. |

Just joking, I was worried about the same thing - just hoping he would get it going. Eric Hosmer in the 9 games since April 19 (when this was posted).400 Batting average .432 On Base Percentage .829 Slugging 1.261 OPS 4 Home Runs 3 Doubles Maybe we will finally see the player we thought we had signed. |
