I’m mixed. In one way, he is a good owner to his team and willing try and even attempted to spend (see Friedman, Judge, and Ozuna). I do get irritated with his comments on attendance during high times like playoff games. I do not like how he is not more active in the community unlike Vinik and the Glazers.

Do I think baseball would survive without him In the Bay Area? Yes, due to the market size. Do I think it would do as well? No.

Stu is a business man but not cold or distant. He is willing to talk to any fan and take criticism. For that I respect him and admire his business tactics.

Stu is just really hard to get behind because he is a businessman and is in the business of building a thriving business, which happens to play baseball. He took a franchise and nearly increased its value by 1 billion dollars. During that time he has only watched a perennial loser because the third best team in baseball since ‘08 and the 4th best team since ‘20. For all his flaws, he is good. Period.
