San Diego Padres: Ron Fowler does it again
With the past in mind, members of the San Diego Padres clearly do not trust Ron Fowler, and many would say for good reason.
Perhaps the Padres should choose another spokesperson to chat with Dan Sileo on the Mighty 1090. In a déjà vu interview, Ron Fowler, executive chairman of the team, verbally abused another starting pitcher substituting Jered Weaver for James Shields.
Last season, after a brutal loss to the Mariners, Fowler famously proclaimed, “To have a starter like (James) Shields perform as poorly as he did yesterday is an embarrassment to the team, an embarrassment to him.” Undoubtedly, Shields called his agent immediately, telling him to get him out of town.
