Bill ignored these "stats" as they don't back up whatever he's trying to prove. Also more ammunition for JYP "Padres hitters lead the major leagues with 583 strikeouts, or 36 more than their nearest rival for the dubious title. They have struck out 39 times in the first four games of this road trip." -- 6/17 UT That's crazy. If I was going to ignore shutouts I would have written, "Ignoring shutouts, the Padres have scored almost 5 (4.93) runs a game on the road. That is by far the best in the NL, ignoring the St Louis Cardinals". I threw in ignoring St Louis as a bonus. Strikeouts? When a player strikes out is more important than how many. With no one on base or with two outs a strikeout is exactly like any other out. If a player strikes out instead of say, hitting a Sac Fly, than that hurts. But your stats (UT) show no case of that being the case. Not necessarily. If the 8th batter in the lineup strikes out with 2 outs then the pitcher leads off the next inning. Where in the hell are you going to find out when Ks happened. Elias? Too much nonsense that has no bearing on my life or yours.

But striking out would be no worse than any other out. Where in the hell are you going to find out when Ks happened. Elias? Using splits. Here's one for you. The Padres lead the NL in Sac Flies. So they don't strike out so much in those situations. Too much nonsense that has no bearing on my life or yours. If you limit your posting to stuff that does, we will never hear from you again

The ONLY team to not win an interleague game Billo. Why do you keep making excuses for this sad sack team? They're $#!+ and everybody but you sees it.

But striking out would be no worse than any other out. ) As usual, you conveniently change the subject. I responded to your useless stat and now you're off into something else. This team SUCKS right now and you're the only one defending them. As I said before, try the eye test for once.

I used the "eye test" as you suggested in the Boston series and the Padres looked pretty good. I guess you missed game 1, plus the 3 before in Minnesota I saw game one. That was an interesting game. One great at bat by Ortiz really turned the game although it took 6 innings for it to make a difference. Ortiz had his 14 pitch at bat resulting in a bases loaded single for a run. Having a high pitch count LeBlanc only goes 3 innings. Since this is the second game Leblanc only went 3 innings, Bud Black decides to send him down and replace him with Luebke in the starting rotation. Since Luebke needs to build up his arm strength, Black leaves him in the game after he pitched his season high 3 innings. That was in a 3-3 game. He gave up a couple of runs during his 4th inning. Since the Padres were behind at that point, late in the game, after 3 consequtive one run games taxed good part of the bullpen, Boston got to hit against the bottom of the Padres bullpen. Mostly against pitchers that wouldn't be on the roster without Gregerson and Harang on the DL. Boson lite them up. But it all stems back to the great AB by Ortiz. Baseball is a funny game.

Glad to see 11 on the board last night vs Braves.
What position does Guzman play? He showed Petco Power by hitting the 2nd deck. Looks like he could add some bulk if he wanted to.

Two runs in three games is not stunning (fortunate to grab one).

This team isn't going anywhere and everybody knows it.
Trade Ludwick and Bell.

Yeah, I went to Sunday's game with both of my son's. Latos needs to gain or regain his "focus" for each and every pitch. When he's on, he's on. When he loses his focus he's very hittable. It's frustrating to watch. But I will say this, he fought his way through six innings and gave us a chance to win.
Venable had a couple of good hits, hopefully he has his hitting woes figured out.
Maybin had a couple of really nice catches in CF, I like this kid a lot.
Got to give some kudo's to Chase Headley. He is giving us some solid offense at this point and playing very good defense. Keep it up.
We have got to get some offense from somewhere, for the most part our outs on offense where strikeouts and weakly hit balls. Looks much worse in person than on television.
Still can't believe how bad we are hitting as a team in all power categories, yet, lead the league in strikeouts.
Anyways, it was cool to sit in the stands with our Padres gear on and see other fans with their gear on too. All Pad's fans would say hi, or ask if we we're from SD, very cool day.

I just watched the replay of the ninth inning of last night's game with LA...just bad bad baseball. Bases loaded with no outs and a 3-1 count. I blame Hoyer and ownership for not putting together a smarter line up. It was the 14th shutout of the season before the break.
Time to start trading because the season is done (3-5 on this make or break road trip).

Where's Bill now? Show us more stats that try to prove that this Pads team is good offensively. They're a joke. I feel sorry for our pitchers

It's not about bashing bill.
But this offense is pathetic. Next to last in runs scored at home, ranked #18th on the road in runs scored.
It's not just a Petco thing. This offense is bad.

Did anyone think it would be different when they watched Agone go to Bean town?? I liked all the "addition by subtraction" arguments that management came out with after he got on the airplane. "Sure, we're losing our best player and the only exciting person to watch in a Padres uniform--but we're gonna get someone that isn't slow as molasses on the basepaths and we'll have enough money to spend in free agency (read: buy low) on good players that had down years like Hawpe and Cantu." To be fair, I think Rizzo will be good, not A-Gon good, but slightly above average at 1B. Casey Kelly I have no idea, he isn't striking people out in AA and had a high 3 low 4 ERA last I checked. Fuentes seems like too much of a punch and judy hitter for us, a luis durango type at first glance. Can't wait for Gyorko, Darnell, and Spangy to get up. Hopefully Gyorko and Darnell will try to pull the ball to Left every time (hey, works for Jose Bautista). Mark Loretta hit 11 HR at Petco in 2004 (5 on road), those guys must be able to beat that imo.
