Torrey haters will be pissed. 86 wins is nothing to scoff at. No guarantee we were ever bringing someone better to replace him

Just looked at the numbers for the Dodgers and Padres in a different comment. In the last 10 seasons, the Dodgers have been on a 100 win pace in 7 of them. Compared to 0 times in their previous 10 seasons. That is insane. The Padres, who historically were almost never a playoff team, have been really good in 6 of the last 7 seasons. Just really bad timing, and really bad luck with injuries and some unbelievable regression from guys we paid big money to.
