If they have a big meeting and everyone agrees we're gonna do X Y Z and then Machado doesn't do X Y Z, then no one else feels like X Y Z are important and now no one is doing them.

I'm kind of willing to chalk up the Padres struggles to bad luck more than anything. Tatis, Machado and Xander are all having the worst seasons of their careers and even if they don't really get along it's still batter vs pitcher out there.

Plus even given their struggles, the Padres still have a +60 run differential

When people talk about leadership in baseball I think of the old quote that's like "leadership is hitting a three run homer in the 9th inning". Earl Weaver, maybe?

I don't give a poo poo about what the players think, it's bad TV production that takes attention away from the game.

Yeah like imagine if multiple times during an NFL game they minimized the actual game to 1/3rd of the screen so they could interview the coach or one of the QB's. People would lose their minds but apparently it's okay in baseball because???

I believe it was last Sunday on the ESPN game but they sent David Cone to the Giants bullpen to interview guys and then Rockies bullpen to interview more guys. The whole thing took like 15 minutes it was insane and most of the camera time was on David and whomever he was interviewing and they'd split the screen to show just the pitch/play.

Yeah, I understand being skeptical of how important culture is in baseball, but if you're co-workers aren't doing x and there's no consequences for that, then the people who do what they're supposed to feel like suckers and stop doing it.

so either
1. the team knew he was done for the season immediately but have been stringing the public along or
2. they somehow missed the fracture and our training staff needs to be launched into the sun

That is Mets level of medical team gently caress up by the Angels.

Or they knew and for some reason kept it secret and made Rendon look bad.

Jesse Chavez took a comebacker to the shin and it took a few weeks for the initial swelling to go down and a second MRI to reveal a hairline fracture in his leg, so there's a slim chance this isn't Rendon just malingering
