SAN DIEGO — San Diego Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler criticized his team in a radio interview on Wednesday, saying its recent performances have been "embarrassing" and "pathetic."
Fowler's comments to The Mighty 1090 came a day after James Shields lasted 2 2/3 innings in a 16-4 loss at Seattle.
"It's been embarrassing. I don't know how else to put it," Fowler said. "Our performance on the road trip, 1-7, was pathetic. I'm a very competitive individual. I think I've won a lot more than I've lost in my life. This baseball experience has been very frustrating, very embarrassing.
