"Fire AJ Preller" "Soto Sucks" - San Diego Padres fans heated following a humiliating blowout loss to Los Angeles Dodgers

The San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up a three-game series at Petco Park this afternoon. This was the rubber match of the series.

In today's outing, the Los Angeles Dodgers offense erupted in the late innings to blowout the Padres by a score of 11-2.

Many fans took to Twitter to vent on the frustrating loss. One fan thinks the team should fire General Manager AJ Preller after the team's disappointing second-half of the season. The Padres' record against the Dodgers is just 4-12 in 2022.

Since being traded to the Padres at the deadline, Juan Soto is batting just .218 with a .726 OPS in 32 games played.

It was a brutal game to watch as a San Diego Padres fan as not only did the team lose in blowout fashion, but the Dodgers also clinched a playoff berth with the win.

The Padres, on the other hand, are far from clinching a playoff berth as they have just a two-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers for the final National League Wild Card spot.
