@othmkr @Tha_Frederation Plenty. And they didn’t end up paying rent most seasons. The city paid them to play there. lol You’re out of your depth.

@RayKrocsGhost @Tha_Frederation Wait, how much do you think they were profiting off of Qualcomm??? Do you think business was booming for them in SD? 😂

Nothing would bring me more joy than to see the Chargers in San Diego again

@realbrentreed It’s the Soto deal but the best closer in baseball. See if it works. Flip toward the end of deal for prospect(s). I know it won’t be THAT prospect but it’s a fine play.
English
Mason Miller is one of the greatest pitchers I’ve ever seen but nuking your farm system and trading a generational prospect bat for a CLOSER when you can’t score and have numerous holes in your rotation continues to be total malpractice
English
@padrespod *this lineup has power that they’re not generating the first 4% of the season.
English
If you want some hope, the Padres are also:
7th in hard hit %
8th in xBA
Doesn’t matter. Chase Delatuer has 5 HRs to the padres 2. This lineup lacks power that a World Series contender needs.

Lincoln winning League 1 is a bigger fairytale than wrexham going up the leagues

@othmkr @Tha_Frederation “San Diego isn’t a good sports market”…as someone’s about to pay more for The Padres than any other baseball team ever. lolololol
English
@RayKrocsGhost @Tha_Frederation The team was already bottom of the barrel in value when they were in SD, because SD isn’t a good sports market. games were always blacked out in SD for a reason.
How many owners have “easily covered the diff”??? Most pro teams play in publicly funded stadiums and SD is cheap
English
@theotherLAPhil @Tha_Frederation - Owning a stadium and site that generates revenue more than 11 days a year.
- Owning the local football market and being 1B for all sports.
- The sites that were being considered 10 years ago still exist and there are new opportunities south and north.
English
@RayKrocsGhost @Tha_Frederation What would the business benefit be of moving the chargers back to SD? Where would they play?
English
@RayKrocsGhost Bro you are crashing out over this for no reason Jesus….
English
@othmkr @Tha_Frederation That fact that you think it’s a deal to have no revenue beyond 11 games a year, just because you’re paying $1 a year, shows you’re not very smart. $94m a year when you paid $635m to move! Big brain business.
English
@RayKrocsGhost @Tha_Frederation They pay $1/year in rent, so much money!!!
You’re not very smart lol
English
@Tha_Frederation It’s not hard to break a lease. Especially when you’re paying $1 rent. That penalty would dwarf what they could make at their own place.
English
@RayKrocsGhost They are contractually locked in until 2039 and I highly doubt they will not renew when their value has steadily increased since the move. LA is a shithole compared to SD but it will always attract people for sports and other events better than SD
English
@Tha_Frederation @andyyyymicccc It’s not huge. Even kinda. The league became more valuable so the became more valuable. A team that moves to the largest media market in a new stadium should sky rocket. They got worse relative
English
@andyyyymicccc @RayKrocsGhost Franchise value increased from 1.5 to damn near 6 mill. It might not be the same in comparison to league value but that’s a huge jump no matter how you try to rationalize it
English
@andyyyymicccc @Tha_Frederation This. Their value only increases because the league value increased. Teams that move to the biggest market media market, in new stadiums should not lose value compared to other teams in their league.
English
@Tha_Frederation @RayKrocsGhost And they dropped to the 25th ranked valued franchise in the NFL lmfao, like I said, the lost value relative to the rest of the league
English
@othmkr @Tha_Frederation - The LA market means nothing to The Chargers. The stadium is consistently no more than 50% Charger Fans. Closer to 75% more often.
- They pay rent at SoFi. They don’t own it. And can’t capitalize on anything outside of their games.
Read a book. On business.
English
@othmkr @Tha_Frederation - Moving wouldn’t “tank”. Spanos already devalued his club relative to the league and especially teams that move. Especially to the biggest market in the league.
- The city does want them. Spanos wanted more public money. A new owner, who isn’t cheap will easily cover the diff
English
@sdut San Diego is a dying market for baseball...among other things. The government doesn't have legal standing to force a private business owner to go bankrupt.

@Umpn4Life @jswan11WBCnats Internal scrutiny without liability is just talking shit. Ive consistently seen top performing umps left off WS and even playoff crews.
English
@RayKrocsGhost @jswan11WBCnats They don’t.
I train in the offseason with a MLB umpire. I’ve seen his scrutiny and many discussions with him about it. It’s all about metrics when it comes to playoffs. Bank on it. I’ve seen it.😎
English
This is exactly the point.
ABS is not the strike zone.
The box on the screen is not the strike zone.
This is a major issue. Openly flawed.
It is not umpire incompetence at any point.
Rob Friedman@PitchingNinja
Umpire incompetence or a Rulebook/ABS Mismatch issue? 🤔 This pitch may have been both: -a Strike according the rulebook strike zone (3 dimensional/starting at the front of the plate), and -a Ball, according to ABS (2 dimensional/measured at the middle of the plate).
