Surely two hours of content must cost something, right? Right?!?!

Recorded this mini-pod with @dsmithshow.bsky.social this morning and then recorded an extra long mimosa pod with @hjpreller.bsky.social and @coreyastewart.bsky.social (out soon) and now setting up to record another Section 1904 pod.

Turns out a manager retiring is good for podcasting.

NEW GWYNNTELLIGENCE PODCAST! The Pals welcome @johngennaro.com from @section1904.com to break down Mike Shildt (incompetent blunderer) "retiring". We also float a theory that our beloved Woods asking too many mean questions of Shildt in August was the final straw gwynntelligence.com/2025/10/14/g...

Non-zero chance Shildt was staring at the bottom of the glass in a Chili’s when the line about Johnson City in “Wagon Wheel” pierced his soul like the clarion call to home

What really matters is if the national media talks about us and if we are “relevant”

I still go back to has our amateur and intl scouting actually been better than our peers in the post-Conner era?

Only Padres @onlypadres.bsky.social · 5d

Going with a poker analogy, the Padres are a very aggressive player who have overplayed their hand. They’re now pot committed with a decent hand, but they’re unlikely to improve moving forward and they don’t really know if they’re ahead or behind. It’s one of the worst places to be in poker.

As usual, the Padres have their eye on the prize by making BIG moves like firing yet another hitting coach

Obviously, I wish they’d have been patient and let prospects arrive in hindsight, but I respected, and still respect AJ’s ambition and willingness to go for it. It could have worked out if X, Y, and Z, but it didn’t.

I’m not super resentful—just think you need fresh eyes and analyses at this point.

I like it, it’s a laser focus on the result which is something we could use right about now

I still go back to I expected cashing LDV would net us something more than a (great) relief pitcher. The strategy of cashing in the farm wasn’t necessarily wrong, the execution was. The Fermin trade was just bad.

Heard he screamed at Andy “it’s like you’ve never read the level 2 reader book ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex vs. Sperm Whale: Who Would Win?’ you idiot, you absolute moron” as Andy sheepishly picked up the broccoli from the clubhouse floor and inside of Nick Martini’s locker

Heard this was was what led to manager and meal engineer Andy Green to be fired

seems like this tells the story more than eating ketchup

Our sources, as confirmed by Britt Ghiroli, tell us that he regularly celebrates “choo choo time” with some Dino Nuggies paired with ketchup and Sweet Baby Rays (sources say the other BBQ sauces don’t have high enough sugar levels and are “too yucky” according to the GM)

Feeling great that The Athletic has completely validated the Gwynntelligence Podcast’s reporting on AJ being a very big choo choo enthusiast that always checks the Coaster and Surfliner schedule so he can go out on his balcony to wave to the engineer and make choo choo sounds
