San Diego Padres fans love Peter Seidler. He has spent more than any other owner in franchise history to try to put a World Series roster on the field. But one flaw he might have is that he’s too optimistic.
Optimism is great but only in some situations. And the Padres are not in a situation where optimism should be had. Optimism was for the beginning of the season when there was time for the roster to turn things around.
But now we’re 94 games in and the record (44-50) says who the Padres are: a not so great baseball team.
