I think we are learning what a total *sshole he really is. He appears to be another entitled professional athlete who has zero respect for the fans who indirectly pay his inflated salary. He is hitting below the Mendoza line and after hitting a home run last night flipped off the fans and told us to F off. He should be released as soon as Tatis returns.

If the Padres are involved in a playoff chase, veteran players like Ian Kinsler are worth every penny. He has been there before and won pennants and championships. I only saw the redacted footage, but I take Kinsler at his word. He will eventually hit and by the All Star Break will have his average in the .230-.245 range.

Some of the reasons that Padre fans are not that impressed with Kinsler: A batting average below Mendoza Line, failing to get on base even once in 17 tries batting leadoff, and this for just $8 million bucks.
Positives: Can still play a decent 2nd base, has 5 homers in just 1.5 months. All of that is NOT enough to compensate for being a black hole in the batting order!
Suggested remedy: MLB should treat him the same way that they treated Ray Kroc when he grabbed the mike and aired out his Padre team with a lengthy string of foul epithets. He was awarded the largest owner fine in baseball history: $100,000.00
Kinsler should get a similar, inflation adjusted, penalty.

Well put....The night before the jerk got tossed from the bench and wasn't even in the lineup for arguing balls and strikes i assume. Sorry, i have NO use for the guy.
