Podcast of the Week
by Nicholas McCann
Hot Lava Podcast – vs Arizona Diamondbacks
On this podcast with the Union Tribune’s Kevin Acee and Jay Posner they really tear into the team for being awful right now. Going through all the issues that have come up they look closely at the players on the roster while evaluating the coaching staff and front office.
The venom really comes out when they discuss the Fernando Tatis Jr situation. They poke fun at the fanbase taking the roller coaster ride that has been receiving the wrist recovery progress and ultimately blame Fernando for his behavior.
This entire podcast captures what we are all feeling as fans. Every aspect of the team is failing and it feels similar to messes that we’ve seen before. The Bob Melvin factor is important because we all spent a lot of time building up this idea that he would fix everything in the organization.
Well, here we are having the same problems and we can’t blame it on the inexperience of the manager. The Hot Lava guys call this out and really dig into the mistakes we are seeing in an honest way. This isn’t how we want to go into the All Star Break, but this is what the team has given us.
