RIP Tony Gwynn

RIP Tony...unreal how great of a player he was and from what I hear, he was just as good off the field as he was on the field.

 

CSN Philly just did a father / son article about Tony and Tony Jr and posted it yesterday for Father's Day....it's sad to read knowing he died hours later.

Wow, I grew up watching this guy play.  Him and Ripken were some of my favorite players during that time.  He played the game the right way, and was classy.  He was a great pro.  His stats are insane, 8 batting titles, 15 all-stars, career .338 hitter with like 3100 hits.  Good luck finding that again.  And he stayed with his team his whole career, like Cal did.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
