Not worth a meaningful response. I know - Nothing meaningful to say. Consistency comes from changes made. He's been clear he doesn't believe in that. So, what you see is what you get. The track record says everything meaningful. (And now I'll get accused of bias/hatred like clockwork)...all good. Just posting data from respected sources to paint the picture of how the hot start was a mirage. The lack of financial flexibility hurts in a big way. |

Let's hope he can get some consistency back. We need him. Good luck with that. Here's a meaningful response: Myself, and all Padre fans, thank you. |

Here's a meaningful response: Myself, and all Padre fans, thank you. Okay? You do realize (I know you don't) that a LARGE percentage of the fanbase...despises him? It gives me zero joy to report that he's been awful, when he's a very important piece to this team being put together. Unless the team is willing to incur draft penalties/international signing bonus penalties (Highly unlikely)....they are screwed. |

But, MOST Padre fans, even though someone may not like Hosmer, they still want him to do well, because they're fans of the TEAM, and want the TEAM to do well. Unfortunately, you have demonstrated that you are not in this category. |

He's always one of the first to greet the players after an at bat, and is always encouraging, amongst other leadership qualities he has shown. |

You say it gives you zero joy, which is laughable, yet you continually highlight his negatives, ad nauseam, every chance you get, in his thread, or during the game. Like I've always said, you fool nobody when it comes to Hosmer. You CLEARLY don't like the guy, and are right there to let everyone know when he fails. It's incredibly obvious. |

Ryan likes to give blame to Hosmer for signing that contract. Going as far as saying he creates dissension by signing the contract. Ridiculous. I wish we never signed him to this contract, and wish we had a better first baseman, but I'll support him while he's here and hope he excels. |

Going as far as saying he creates dissension by signing the contract. Ridiculous. Not sure AJ was anything more than an errand boy on that one. I think Ron Fowler was primarily responsible for the Hosmer acquisition. Can't get too angry with him, as he's definitely been generous to SDSU over the years. |

Every chance I get, outside of the week plus where I didn't say anything despite his brutal slump. Yes, I'm here after every plate appearance. No. No. It's quite simple. You don't believe criticism is warranted. I do. What you fail to grasp (repeatedly) is that this would be a non-issue if he actually cared about improving. How you can back a player with that kind of mentality, especially when he isn't GOOD...is your problem. The numbers speak for themselves. |

Sure, they hate that he's underperformed, and not lived up to his contract, just like many of us. You make it sound like everybody hates Eric Hosmer, the individual. That's irresponsible on your part. |

How you can back a player with that kind of mentality, especially when he isn't GOOD...is your problem. The numbers speak for themselves. You're wrong. I've stated that he had a bad May, and that he has obviously not lived up to the contract that he signed and I wish we had a better first baseman on our team. You go the extra ten miles to make sure that everybody knows just how bad he's doing, and when he does good, you diminish it and say, wait and see, he'll fail. You seem as though you'd rather be right about him eventually failing, instead of the alternative. That's what's bothersome. |

You make it sound like everybody hates Eric Hosmer, the individual. That's irresponsible on your part. Where in any of my posts does it say that? Seems like a poor inference on your part. But, there is a large percentage of folks who do not agree with his choices off the field as well. It's not just the underperformance. It's not just the laziness on the field. It's the ego that he got paid and then abandoned any notion of improving. Four seasons of being one of the worst values in baseball and we get "Well, lifting the ball doesn't work for me." "I KNOW what I bring to my team." This tweet though....takes the cake. That's the Padres beat writer for the local newspaper....literally shilling for a player on the team. |

Descriptive statistics? I post plenty. Do people think he's actually beloved in San Diego? Royals fans adore him. Big presence in Kansas City. Arguing about Eric Hosmer's popularity is peak hilarity. You have to actually scroll to find positive comments...but the fanbase isn't exactly known for their impartiality. |

Good grief. Some degrees of density are just sad to see.
Justify your claim. You can't, so you do this instead.

So, you're really not revealing anything new about it, and the fact that there would be WAY more negative comments aimed towards him due to his underachieving. Of course there's going to be WAY more negative comments about him, because of this. |
