You're being intentionally obtuse. "His feelings were hurt" - A professional would understand that making $20M a season has expectations attached to it, when you're a face of the franchise. Their feelings wouldn't be hurt, they would admit their failures and own it. The same guy you were lauding as a waste and were happy to see go, Tommy Pham? When being interviewed in late September about the team's collapse and what happened - "I didn't play well enough." THAT is what a leader does. If I hate Hosmer so much, you're on the unbelievably luxurious other side of the spectrum for reasons I still can't figure out. Of course he should have expected to be traded, and own his failures. That is not my issue. I'm saying that what happened in his case was not a BIG reason for the collapse. You're trying to make it so. That's my issue with you. Separate your personal feelings about him, if you possibly can, and get real about it. That's what professionals in their field do. It was about the injuries, mainly. I'm the only one offering anything that can be considered tangible evidence....whereas your only argument is "you're wrong." I mean, it's not very original. Injuries played a part in the on-field performance. Denying the existence of a clubhouse problem though when both guys who cover the team directly published it in print is just silly. I am separating my personal feelings. I've told you a half dozen times they don't matter at all in this situation. I am absolutely telling you with direct knowledge of the situation that you are factually wrong here.

He handled it like a professional and he had no issues with teammates. That's what Acee said in the video. You're trying to make it more than it was. It's obvious Ryan

Not downplaying anything with injuries, already mentioned it multiple times in this thread. It's all connected. Your definition of professionalism includes: Snapping at a reporter and leaving the field, taking a swipe at his own general manager, stating multiple times in published articles that he doesn't care about improving his game, refusing to make adjustments to his offseason routine and the list goes on.

All of those things you brought up absolutely did not cause a BIG issue in the Clubhouse which caused, or was part of a collapse. Also, stop saying he doesn't WANT to improve his game. You're putting words in his mouth. Sheesh. That's just you TRYING to pour it on, and weakly trying to make a case for Hosmer as the main reason for it. Give these professionals more credit than that. There's players on teams that have beefs with management all the time, and they're just fine. Also, no love fest. I'm just simply calling you out for making something bigger than it actually is, which you tend to do solely because you don't like the individual. You've demonstrated that countless times. I hope we can upgrade over him and some how get a trade out of it. So, nice try on it being a love fest for me. His teammates like him, and that's the best testimony for why you're way off base trying to make him out as a BIG reason for the collapse. Do better.

Pham was absolutely brutal. Would rather stick Alfaro out in left. No...we really, really don't. Schwarber made the transition from catcher to left, Alfaro can do the same. We don't really have much of a choice do we?

Here's a quote straight from him, from May of 2021: BY KEVIN ACEE MAY 4, 2021 6:40 PM PT It turns out the best version of Eric Hosmer might be Eric Hosmer just being Eric Hosmer. That’s the conclusion of one man, at least. “I just finally have gotten confident in my game,” Eric Hosmer said Tuesday. “I understand what I bring to the table is valuable for a team. I don’t necessarily value what is being said outside our clubhouse anymore. I want to be there for my teammates, my organization, my coaching staff. I know the way my teammates look at me. That to me is ultimately what is most valued. That’s what drives me to get to the field every day and work hard.” After 10 years and all the tinkering with his swing and trying to be the modern ballplayer, the Padres first baseman is over all the talk about his not hitting the ball in the air enough and whatever defensive metrics that go into determining he isn’t all that good at first base. “I think that’s where I’ve gotten — to the point now I don’t fight it anymore,” he said. “I accept the game for what it is. I know the game is viewed a different way now by people from the outside. I’m just done fighting that stuff. I know what I bring the table for my team. That’s where I’m at. If that’s not good enough for the organization, I’m sure my playing time will adjust accordingly." What he's brought to the table is virtually nothing, in case you're wondering here. It's really, really bad. What will it take for you to open your eyes and see reality? Stop making it about me - It has nothing....repeat...nothing to do with me. You've been redirected multiple times and you come up with the same tired, incorrect and outlandish narrative imaginable, despite being told you're off base. So I'll say it again - Based on actual people not named me that COVER THE TEAM for a living, you are wrong.

Minor was Hosmer's beef with management!!! Cancer in the clubhouse? Gimme a break. You're soooo anti Hosmer it's ridiculous, and I'm not the only one on here that has said how biased, in a bad way, you are towards him. But, like in many cases with others, the sad thing is that you're the last one to know. I'm done with this.

Weird how Wil has been in the same situation for multiple years and just goes about his job, no snapping at reporters, no clubhouse distractions. Again, things got so bad last year, Hosmer and Austin Adams got into a fight in the clubhouse in September. But that's "minor" and I'm lying because I hate Eric Hosmer. Good clubhouse guy through and through. Lol.

And, I'VE never interacted with someone as biased as you, or with someone who let's personal feelings get in the way with how you respond. Not good AT ALL. Hosmer/Adams got in a beef? Ok, it was really news worthy, even more so than Machado/Tatis. Lol. Notice how you down play that and bring up that tiff with Hosmer? See the trend here??? You're not fooling anybody with your bias towards him. Injuries were BIG factor. Players are used to contract issues, trades etc.... Again, give these professionals more credit than that in dealing with that. The only thing I've heard (Acee) is that Hosmer had an issue with the front office and has very good relationships with his teammates. Acee said he had no issues with teammates. Hosmer has a track record of being a good clubhouse guy. Stick to bashing his play on the field which is warranted, instead of making him out to be the BIG reason for the collapse. Ridiculous

With Tatis sitting on his hands this year, it'll be interesting to see if that pushes mgmt to bring CJ up to the show earlier than they might've expected to do so … If his torrid spring continues, and he continues to knock the cover off the ball in the minors, if the team gets off to a slow offensive start they'll have to make a move.

Ridiculous Learn how to read. "In here" means "In this thread." I've referenced the vaxx stuff before, but it has absolutely nothing to do with this specific situation in regards to the trade deadline. It absolutely mattered in other areas, but that's not this particular argument. Context, please. Critical analysis, please. Independent thought, please. The Tatis-Machado incident happened at the end of September. September 21st, if memory serves. The only reason it was even a big deal is because it was caught on broadcast television. Both of those guys are franchise cornerstone players. Again, context. The team had already collapsed at that point and was dead in the water, eliminated from playoff contention. There's no getting through the density here, so I'll just leave it at that, knowing what I know.

With Tatis sitting on his hands this year, it'll be interesting to see if that pushes mgmt to bring CJ up to the show earlier than they might've expected to do so … If his torrid spring continues, and he continues to knock the cover off the ball in the minors, if the team gets off to a slow offensive start they'll have to make a move. They won't (and shouldn't) panic if the team gets off to a slow start. Rushing Abrams (who doesn't even have a position to play currently) won't change that. It's also how you screw up a player's development. If he earns it though out of spring, he'll have definitely deserved it, but with rosters expanding temporarily, it gets tricky.

The anti vaxxer issue ABSOLUTELY came up in posts. Are you conveniently forgetting? Uh huh. You can tell yourself all day long that your dislike doesn't amp up your posts about him. It's too obvious and that's why others have mentioned it, REMEMBER? You can't even remember half the issues you bring up on here. Lol. And, I'VE never interacted with someone as biased as you, or with someone who let's personal feelings get in the way with how you respond. Not good AT ALL. Hosmer/Adams got in a beef? Ok, it was really news worthy, even more so than Machado/Tatis. Lol. Notice how you down play that and bring up that tiff with Hosmer? See the trend here??? You're not fooling anybody with your bias towards him. Injuries were BIG factor. Players are used to contract issues, trades etc.... Again, give these professionals more credit than that in dealing with that. The only thing I've heard (Acee) is that Hosmer had an issue with the front office and has very good relationships with his teammates. Acee said he had no issues with teammates. Hosmer has a track record of being a good clubhouse guy. Stick to bashing his play on the field which is warranted, instead of making him out to be the BIG reason for the collapse. Ridiculous Learn how to read. "In here" means "In this thread." I've referenced the vaxx stuff before, but it has absolutely nothing to do with this specific situation in regards to the trade deadline. It absolutely mattered in other areas, but that's not this particular argument. Context, please. Critical analysis, please. Independent thought, please. The Tatis-Machado incident happened at the end of September. September 21st, if memory serves. The only reason it was even a big deal is because it was caught on broadcast television. Both of those guys are franchise cornerstone players. Again, context. The team had already collapsed at that point and was dead in the water, eliminated from playoff contention. There's no getting through the density here, so I'll just leave it at that, knowing what I know. Where you're right is there's no getting through the density here, and the obvious bias and over hyping. I'll just leave it at that. Go Padres!!!

Laughing at obvious bias and "overhyping" when you can't answer basic questions or deal with reality. I'll say the one thing that hasn't really been addressed is the comparison between Hosmer and Myers and how both names have come up in trade talks (In Wil's case the last three seasons) and how differently they handle the routine. Both are obviously negative assets, but only one of them is likely immovable at any productive cost.

You can talk about Hosmer not liking the idea of being in trade talks and trying to make that, and the other very minor issues, into the BIG reason for the collapse, but it's not going to work. He has a very good relationship in the clubhouse and with his teammates. End of story.
