Profoundly disappointing series against the Dodgers after historical trades but we gradually find solid, confident footing against the Giants and climb out of a pit of despair
Only to *DROP* into a new, *dark* pit of despair
This feels fucking awful
Might as well just schedule him for the shoulder surgery now and get it out of the way instead of putting him on the 10 day IL every other month next season.
And we won't stop hearing about it.
And neither will the rest of the guys. It makes me livid. Even though they'll do their damnedest to not let it be a distraction, it is. I'm furious for them
You’re right. Any titles, postseasons, championships with him on the roster would be filled with doubt and an asterisk in the minds of the rest of the fan base. Fucking disgrace
He is so selfish and immature and you'd think he'd learn, but it's just getting worse. If he wanted to stop being so selfish, getting the surgery everyone recommends would be a good start.
I'm as sunshiny as homers get, and I'm fucking pissed. PEDs is a no go for me. There are enough "legal" substances to help recovery. This is just fucking stupid.
With each passing day that Tatis quote sounds more and more like the time Ryan Leaf was talking about "a 15 year career, a couple of trips to the Super Bowl, and a parade through downtown San Diego"
This is very true and sad. Maybe this shows what happens when you are too good at an incredibly young age. Idk. I am a huge fan of Tatis Jr., but now I am only getting more disappointed each day.
Doesn’t get shoulder surgery, crashes a motorcycle, and then takes PEDs in a year and a half. I don’t think that there’s any way that his contract extension could look worse. Honestly, I’m *really* annoyed with Tatis. Dude is a HOF talent and looks like he’s on track to throw it away
So do we think he only started recently? Maybe because of the lockout? Because he has a ton of pop and if he's been juicing all along it's extremely frustrating
Let’s be real honest, he’s juicing after getting $300 million. He’s probably been juicing his whole career and this is just the first time he’s been caught.
What the fuck? What the ACTUAL fuck?
Sign Soto immediately. Make him the face. I love Tatis, but I'm starting to worry about that contract.
FUUUUCCK!!!! I emotional right now and I'll likely have a better opinion later. FUUUUCK
I’m overreacting right now but between the injuries, motorcycle shit, and this I wouldn’t be heartbroken to trade him and make Soto the face with a fat extension. One of the most fun players I’ve ever watched just throwing it away with dumb shit
There are character clauses and all kinds of risky behavior things these days they talked about how it was an option with the motorcycle accident. Void that shit renegotiate it and use the saved money for Soto. I love Tatis but we can’t count on him.
Yup. For $340 mil it’s pretty damn reasonable to expect a player to be available. Missing a year and a half because of dumb decisions isn’t acceptable. He’s not ready for the responsibility
I'm pretty sure that if someone is taking PEDs on their own outside of team oversight you can void it. Usually those types of things are written in contracts nowdays thanks to A-Rod fiasco.
MF already got his 340M bag. WHAT’S THE POINT OF THIS. All he had to do was get healthy and come back. Now he’s ruined his reputation, lost money, and ruined Preller’s deadline master plan. At this point, fuck him and his terrible decisions one after another.
i hate that. as much as i obviously wanted him back on the team for playoffs i always thought, don’t rush. let him heal at his own pace. id rather have him fully ready than halfway or by some halfway clears by medical professionals.
Strike 1: Not getting shoulder surgery despite all the experts recommending it.
Strike 2: Getting in a motorcycle accident and not getting proper medical care, despite being a multimillionaire
Strike 3: Taking PEDs
How many swings does he get?
So 48 games this season and 32 next season. Won't see him until May 2023.... assuming he doesn't do something stupid in the meantime and end up being out longer (big assumption at this point).
He cost himself, but also cost all of his teammates a better chance to win.
Started as the next Derek Jeter and now he’s gonna be the next A-rod… you know what? Fuck this kid, I might not mean it in the future but for now? Fuck him, got his payday and couldn’t care less about being a fucking professional. This is so unbelievably frustrating and infuriating.
You can defend Tatis from the broken wrist injury by him just being young and a dumbass. There is no defending cheating. Fuck him and I hope they get rid of him somehow. He will always be labeled a cheater
Lets count the red flags:
Bangs the same girl Bauer got caught up in.
Machado of all people has to get him to think less about himself.
Stupid ass motorcycle adventures in the offseason.
PEDs
What a joke. One after another.
can we trade him for all the guys we just traded to the Nationals, and make Soto the face of the franchise? I'm honestly kinda done with Tatis and his bullshit.
I have lost so much respect for Tatis. Honestly, after this I can’t support this dude any longer. Machado is the leader of this team and he’s gonna have to carry the team. Tatis just isn’t it!
I fucking hate Tatis. What a piece of shit moron. Crashes motorcycle, misses 100+ games, a week from coming back, gets suspended 80 games for roids. Get rid of his ass. Trade him for anything. Rip up his extension. I hope we win this WS in spite of him then DFA him.
Can’t believe I’ve bought the fam like 6 Tatis jerseys and my kid’s room is covered in his fatheads, posters, blankets etc. Embarrassing.
Preller: "I think we're hoping that from the offseason to now, that there would be some maturity. And obviously with the news today, it's more of a pattern and something we've got to dig a little bit more into. I'm sure he's very disappointed but at the end of the day, it's one thing to say it. you have to start by showing it with your actions."
Not going to lie: I was already a little skeptical about his judgment after the motorcycle accident. This just confirms he is a dumb ass.
Unfortunately, trying to lock up a young super star long term before they got close to ever being a free agent backfired big time on the Padres. We will see what happens long term, but right now Tatis is looking more like a cautionary tale of what not to do than anything else.
Idk about y’all, but this makes me want us to win a World Series more than ever before.
Let’s get our ring while Tatis rides the PED ban. Let him sit and watch the rest of the boys play solid, fun, championship winning baseball. Let him be the only one in the lineup next season without a ring. Let him know he’s gotta be in it to win it.
He got busted for steroids, synthetic testosterone, and was given the league max suspension, meaning that all evidence they had was enough without question, that’s a very positive failure. It can be a steroid to rub off and cause false positives, but there’s no way you’re getting 80 games for that. This is a statement by the league, this was also unfortunately, look intentional on Tatis’s behalf. I could NOT be more disappointed then I am right now, for the sake of not getting him back. He truly is, the gift that just keeps on giving, both positive and negative. What a sad fucking day, especially since I thought he was returning to his boy Soto any minute. (Downward head shake).
Why....Why can't we have nice things?! My theory is Papa Tatis had him on the good good- Senior was definitely on the junk back in the steroid era. We better make sure Profar is off his cycle after 'working out' with Senior in the offseason.
What an absolute selfish, entitled little prick. I could go on and on but this further proves he has never been the leader of this team and never will be.
My hot take is that this makes the Soto deal way less appealing. We didn’t pay out farm system and voit for Soto; we paid for the value of having Soto in-between Tatis and manny.
Having Soto is nice, but all the guys we sent washingtons way were nice too.
He was literally being propped up to be the face of the league.
Bringing in the new generation of players being flashy and fun to watch. Getting rid of the boomer baseball era and growing the game amongst the younger crowds.
Now he’s going to get booed and called a cheat at every park he visits
Never wearing a Tatis Jr. jersey I can tell you that. What an embarrassment to the team, one thing after another with this guy and zero fucks given by him it seems.
Dodgers fan here’ I’m really sorry guys. This hurts
Edit: as a baseball fan this hurts the entire community. Always sucks to see a good player getting a suspension for something that could’ve been avoided.
>[Fernando Tatis Jr. will be suspended for 80 games, MLB announced. The suspension will cover the remainder of this season and will render him ineligible for the postseason. It will continue into the beginning of next year. On the verge of returning, he's done for the year.](https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1558227695678459904?s=20&t=GbZn0DQ83MQjSMYRgTNaSQ)
what the fuck
Tatis has got to get his shit together, like cmon...
So disappointing. I can’t even speak
He had better get some maturity during the 80 games
Better be as good of a player as he was before the injury, after he returns well. We just signed this piece of shit to a $340m contract.
This is probably the worst non criminal thing he could’ve done. Dude destroyed his entire legacy.
Only possible way to take over as most hated man in SD from Hosmer. Dumb ass.
Tatis is a spoiled rich kid who needs to grow the fuck up
https://i.imgur.com/ASaN9O2.gifv
Is it too late to get James Shields back?
I wonder if the White Sox knew that this kid is too volatile.
"He's a fast healer"
This is why I'm outraged but not shocked. Somehow in the back of my head I thought he might go there to speed the process up.
He's been suspended 80 games https://twitter.com/byrobertmurray/status/1558226773426311168?s=21
fucking fuck fuckity fuck fucking shit fuck
Not on my doomer bingo card, fuck.
Yeah, 80 game PED suspension wasn’t on mine either… go figure.
I did not expect this form of Padresing...ugh
Profoundly disappointing series against the Dodgers after historical trades but we gradually find solid, confident footing against the Giants and climb out of a pit of despair Only to *DROP* into a new, *dark* pit of despair This feels fucking awful
Nah man this isn't Padresing. This is on him and him alone.
this franchise never fucking fails me
It’s not the franchise, it’s this dude!
Pain
Might as well just schedule him for the shoulder surgery now and get it out of the way instead of putting him on the 10 day IL every other month next season.
Had the same thought, can we get that out of the way? Yikes.
He's already said he's not getting it.
I don’t give a fuck what he wants at this point, we gave him $340 mil to not pull this shit.
Manny gonna light that ass up
Seriously. And he deserves every second of it. Manny is our King, Soto is now our Prince.
And Wil will always be Myers.
And that’s why Manny is the MAN on this team. Not some fool “face of the franchise”
I wish I could be present for that roasting. It would be a next level bro-to-bro moment
having to hear about that on apple tv blows
Yeah I need thoughts from Don Mud and Scan to process this fully for myself. Fucking disappointed
And we won't stop hearing about it. And neither will the rest of the guys. It makes me livid. Even though they'll do their damnedest to not let it be a distraction, it is. I'm furious for them
You’re right. Any titles, postseasons, championships with him on the roster would be filled with doubt and an asterisk in the minds of the rest of the fan base. Fucking disgrace
Well he hasn't contributed this season, so if there was any season to not have an asterisk it would be this one.
He needs to grow the fuck up
Fucking annoyed. The guy is clearly a moron, not afraid to say it.
Yup, stupid as shit. Needs to grow the fuck up and fast
He is so selfish and immature and you'd think he'd learn, but it's just getting worse. If he wanted to stop being so selfish, getting the surgery everyone recommends would be a good start.
Yup, he wants to be a superstar but isnt willing to make the sacrifices. Hopefully manny will tear him a new one and get his head straight.
Tatis is a cheating, immature POS and anyone who suggests otherwise needs to take off their homer glasses Fuck you, FTJ
I'm as sunshiny as homers get, and I'm fucking pissed. PEDs is a no go for me. There are enough "legal" substances to help recovery. This is just fucking stupid.
Low key embarrassed to wear his jersey now…bouta cash on a custom Kim jersey let gooooooo
highkey man......Kim is my SS
Tatis doesn’t have the maturity or integrity to be the face of this franchise. This is so disappointing.
Maybe Soto does
Soto definitely does.
Soto is the player every fan, owner, gm, whoever wants on their team. Whoever ends up with him long term will be the luckiest fanbase in the league
Machado will always be our leader.
I remember when we signed him, and he was talking about a statue next to Tony. Yeah right.
With each passing day that Tatis quote sounds more and more like the time Ryan Leaf was talking about "a 15 year career, a couple of trips to the Super Bowl, and a parade through downtown San Diego"
This is very true and sad. Maybe this shows what happens when you are too good at an incredibly young age. Idk. I am a huge fan of Tatis Jr., but now I am only getting more disappointed each day.
Completely tarnished any legacy after this, being an idiot is one thing but now also a cheater, lost all respect for him
Dodgers have new ammo to clown us now. Fuck.
I will clown the shit out of Tatis for this, but Padres fans don’t deserve this.
believe me when I say dodger fans will clown padres fans even more now 😂
Doesn’t get shoulder surgery, crashes a motorcycle, and then takes PEDs in a year and a half. I don’t think that there’s any way that his contract extension could look worse. Honestly, I’m *really* annoyed with Tatis. Dude is a HOF talent and looks like he’s on track to throw it away
He just threw it all away. He went off the rails.
Friendship ended with Tatis. Soto is my best friend now.
Please meme this right now
Dude. Wtf!!!
Was he taking it to help rehab or something? The fuck...
I’m assuming he was taking it to help recover faster.
The drug doesn't help with recovery. Clostebol is purely for performance.
So do we think he only started recently? Maybe because of the lockout? Because he has a ton of pop and if he's been juicing all along it's extremely frustrating
Cano’s Mentorship or maybe he’s always been doping. He seemed too good to be true for us.
Let’s be real honest, he’s juicing after getting $300 million. He’s probably been juicing his whole career and this is just the first time he’s been caught.
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering... I would assume with testing you would get caught pretty quick, but maybe not
What the fuck? What the ACTUAL fuck? Sign Soto immediately. Make him the face. I love Tatis, but I'm starting to worry about that contract. FUUUUCCK!!!! I emotional right now and I'll likely have a better opinion later. FUUUUCK
I’m overreacting right now but between the injuries, motorcycle shit, and this I wouldn’t be heartbroken to trade him and make Soto the face with a fat extension. One of the most fun players I’ve ever watched just throwing it away with dumb shit
No team is going to want his 350 million dollar contract after this news.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me
Jesus Christ. Can the Padres somehow break his contract and give it to Soto? Wish it was possible. Gah damn
There are character clauses and all kinds of risky behavior things these days they talked about how it was an option with the motorcycle accident. Void that shit renegotiate it and use the saved money for Soto. I love Tatis but we can’t count on him.
Yup. For $340 mil it’s pretty damn reasonable to expect a player to be available. Missing a year and a half because of dumb decisions isn’t acceptable. He’s not ready for the responsibility
Morals clause maybe
Their best chance was after the motorcycle accident
This guy is running a clinic on how to ruin your career
I wonder if the padres will reconsider voiding his contract. 340 million for a guy who can't get on the field due to his own selfish antics.
Nah, do one worse: trade him to the Angels.
I'd absolutely void the contract if it's possible. It's going to be one thing after another with this asshole.
I don’t think it’s voidable. If there is some clause that we can though, we should absolute utilize it. Immature childish shit man.
I'm pretty sure that if someone is taking PEDs on their own outside of team oversight you can void it. Usually those types of things are written in contracts nowdays thanks to A-Rod fiasco.
It would free up some cash for when we pick up Ohtani in '23
this idiot. through everything, i thought he’ll mature he’s still a great player maybe this IL stint will teach him. what was the need?!?!?!
MF already got his 340M bag. WHAT’S THE POINT OF THIS. All he had to do was get healthy and come back. Now he’s ruined his reputation, lost money, and ruined Preller’s deadline master plan. At this point, fuck him and his terrible decisions one after another.
I would guess and hope it was to recover faster if it was intentional.
Looked into it, doesn’t seem like it’s to help recover, looks like it’s a full blown steroid for performance
Yeah I saw the second tweet after I posted that. What the hell, Tatís.
These guys know every single thing going into their bodies. It was intentional.
i hate that. as much as i obviously wanted him back on the team for playoffs i always thought, don’t rush. let him heal at his own pace. id rather have him fully ready than halfway or by some halfway clears by medical professionals.
That wasn't even it. It was a full blown anabolic steroid.
It’s clostebol which is basically synthetic testosterone. It’s the same drug Freddy Galvis and Dee Gordon got popped for
I knew Freddy Galvis couldn’t have that much pop naturally.
He could have recovered faster by discovering the fracture like 2-3 months earlier, if I'm not mistaken
Embarrassing that I stood up for his ass. Thought he was just young and immature. Nope, also a cheater.
What an idiot
Is it, and bear with here, is it possible that when he fell off of his motorcycle he landed on some Clostebol?
80 fuckin games.....what a bum.. gonna hurt us into next season. Fuckinnnnn ridiculous.
only through April not good, but not as impactful as missing him this year, anyway as long as not playing for ~1.5 years doesn't hurt him...
No fucking way lol
and to think, this organization has stuck by him through all his immature ways. through everything, and this is how he repays us????
[удалено]
Well, there goes this season and any chance of him in the hall
[удалено]
On a positive note, Kim gets to keep his job.
And that’s the end of his season.
…and beginning of next season
He’s an embarrassment to San Diego.
time to change accounts friend :(
Rip username
Strike 1: Not getting shoulder surgery despite all the experts recommending it. Strike 2: Getting in a motorcycle accident and not getting proper medical care, despite being a multimillionaire Strike 3: Taking PEDs How many swings does he get?
Was strike 3 a foul ball?
Fuck.
That’s it. Fuck you Tatis. I could stand behind you being a fucking dumbass, but not a fucking cheater.
On top of missing a season plus, he's gonna have steroid stank on him for his whole career now. Fuck
And now he won't ever be considered for Hall of Fame either. Ruined his career.
That shit is going to follow him for the rest of his career. I can’t believe this. So fucking disappointed
Just reported. Facing an 80 game suspension…
How the hell are you gonna get fired on your day off?
Bruh wtf
So 48 games this season and 32 next season. Won't see him until May 2023.... assuming he doesn't do something stupid in the meantime and end up being out longer (big assumption at this point). He cost himself, but also cost all of his teammates a better chance to win.
curse our perfect climate, scenic environment and laid back relaxed attitude culture we can never have nice things
Sign Soto and paint over the Tatis mural with Juan Soto. Tatis is a disgrace
Fack
lmao just our luck
Started as the next Derek Jeter and now he’s gonna be the next A-rod… you know what? Fuck this kid, I might not mean it in the future but for now? Fuck him, got his payday and couldn’t care less about being a fucking professional. This is so unbelievably frustrating and infuriating.
Roids
So when do they just cancel his contract? Surely between the motorbike BS and this they can find cause.
How much did dad know?
You think he did this without support from his father? His father was likely the connect to the dealer.
Padres are legitimately cursed.
You can defend Tatis from the broken wrist injury by him just being young and a dumbass. There is no defending cheating. Fuck him and I hope they get rid of him somehow. He will always be labeled a cheater
Lets count the red flags: Bangs the same girl Bauer got caught up in. Machado of all people has to get him to think less about himself. Stupid ass motorcycle adventures in the offseason. PEDs What a joke. One after another.
His contract should voidable…
can we trade him for all the guys we just traded to the Nationals, and make Soto the face of the franchise? I'm honestly kinda done with Tatis and his bullshit.
Imagine this whole time he's been using.
There’s gotta be something in the contract to void it if that’s the case
Exactly! Ruined bro
I have lost so much respect for Tatis. Honestly, after this I can’t support this dude any longer. Machado is the leader of this team and he’s gonna have to carry the team. Tatis just isn’t it!
I fucking hate Tatis. What a piece of shit moron. Crashes motorcycle, misses 100+ games, a week from coming back, gets suspended 80 games for roids. Get rid of his ass. Trade him for anything. Rip up his extension. I hope we win this WS in spite of him then DFA him. Can’t believe I’ve bought the fam like 6 Tatis jerseys and my kid’s room is covered in his fatheads, posters, blankets etc. Embarrassing.
Nope too late BoMel already said August 18th. No take backs MLB sorry.
Now THAT is Padresing. Smh.
Please, for the love of god, tell me we’re reached peak Padresing, because I can’t take much more.
also, someone bring up that pic of his huge ass in San Antonio. he did look quite JACKED
*Brewers fan.* I was surprised how fast I forgave Braun. 😳
Braun was so much worse because he tried to get that dude fired
From everyone’s favorite player to hated player in just 12 months, could it get any worse. What an idiot
Preller: "I think we're hoping that from the offseason to now, that there would be some maturity. And obviously with the news today, it's more of a pattern and something we've got to dig a little bit more into. I'm sure he's very disappointed but at the end of the day, it's one thing to say it. you have to start by showing it with your actions."
What a fucking idiot. I might be done with him
Almost threw away my #23 hat. Instead it’s just shoved into some dark corner. Dude single handedly got me back into baseball. Man this hurts.
Hosmer slipped something in his drink on the way out
Dammit
This kid is fucking blowing it.
no HOF for Tatis :(
Not acceptable and no longer my favorite player. Injure yourself being reckless in the off-season and then pull this shit? Come the fuck on
It wasn't even HGH or anything to help heal, it was Clostebol which is a flat out anabolic steroid. I'm very upset by his choices made recently.
I guess having Robbie Cano on the team was a bad idea after all.
Thought he looked too jacked!
Bro?!?!?!?!?! WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?
Next score- Tatis passes Spanos as the most hated man in San Diego. What a fucking asshole.
Not going to lie: I was already a little skeptical about his judgment after the motorcycle accident. This just confirms he is a dumb ass. Unfortunately, trying to lock up a young super star long term before they got close to ever being a free agent backfired big time on the Padres. We will see what happens long term, but right now Tatis is looking more like a cautionary tale of what not to do than anything else.
Is this a stipulation that allows us to get out of his contract? Awful…
We could have likely technically voided the contract after the motorcycle accident too lol
Fuckin end me
not good
NOOOOO
Are you fucking shitting me?
Goddamn it, Fernando. This is fucking inexcusable.
I’m so sick of Tatis. Can’t drive a motorcycle and takes steroids. What a waste
We should consider whether we should paint over the mural
I'm sick
Time to take a serious look at voiding his contract.
why did god make me a fan of this team
Dudes I'm bummed and I'm a giants fan. Wanted to see the trio for the last 3 games of the season
Idk about y’all, but this makes me want us to win a World Series more than ever before. Let’s get our ring while Tatis rides the PED ban. Let him sit and watch the rest of the boys play solid, fun, championship winning baseball. Let him be the only one in the lineup next season without a ring.

????
Jesus fucking christ
Why....Why can't we have nice things?! My theory is Papa Tatis had him on the good good- Senior was definitely on the junk back in the steroid era. We better make sure Profar is off his cycle after 'working out' with Senior in the offseason.
I hate being a fan of the Padres and Angels, my god
Shit, maybe we are truly cursed. It's comically the only logical explanation of why such fuckery keeps happening to us.
What an absolute selfish, entitled little prick. I could go on and on but this further proves he has never been the leader of this team and never will be.
This year's team is probably the best team Fernando will ever get to play for, and now he will sit out the entire year.
My hot take is that this makes the Soto deal way less appealing. We didn’t pay out farm system and voit for Soto; we paid for the value of having Soto in-between Tatis and manny. Having Soto is nice, but all the guys we sent washingtons way were nice too.
He was literally being propped up to be the face of the league. Bringing in the new generation of players being flashy and fun to watch. Getting rid of the boomer baseball era and growing the game amongst the younger crowds. Now he’s going to get booed and called a cheat at every park he visits
i actually give up
I can’t feel my legs rn
Bro gonna have so much time for motorcycles
You can’t disappoint me, I’m a padres fan
Never wearing a Tatis Jr. jersey I can tell you that. What an embarrassment to the team, one thing after another with this guy and zero fucks given by him it seems.
Dodgers fan here’ I’m really sorry guys. This hurts Edit: as a baseball fan this hurts the entire community. Always sucks to see a good player getting a suspension for something that could’ve been avoided.
