37,000 a game is doable once the team improves. Hell, they draw 27,000 a game this year and they are nowhere near the top. They couldn't even draw 90,000 for a 4 game set this past weekend--while honoring Trevor Hoffman. Yes, the Padres are bad, but stuff like that used to bring out fans--no matter how bad the team was. Ted Leitner was on 1090 earlier commenting on just how few people showed up.

I think it has more to do with the fact 4 day giveaways have just exhausted themselves, plus the Diamondbacks don't draw whatsoever. Being at their stadium in the middle of a playoff hunt, it was like a graveyard. I was disappointed with the attendance this past series myself, but I think as the team improves, the casuals will come back.

Yeah, you would have thought with the D-backs in a pennant race, the Zonies would have been here in force. Obviously, they weren't. Completely agree with your take on the 4 day giveaway. 1090 also tried to make excuses as to why the crowd was so bad on Saturday--Pacific Classic and Aztec FanFest/Scrimmage on the same day. I didn't go to FanFest, as I was at the Pacific Classic, but I heard that attendance on Saturday for the Aztecs wasn't very good, and I know Del Mar only announced a crowd of 20,000 on Saturday. Also, 1090 had people on air saying they no idea what was going on for Trevor this past Saturday. I don't know about you, but all I have seen for the last week or two were ads for this past weekend at Petco Park.

I think 1090 is still bitter about losing the Padre broadcast rights.

I think 1090 is still bitter about losing the Padre broadcast rights. They might be, but their Nielsen Ratings are the same as the current Padres radio station, at 0.8.

Seventeen strikeouts and counting tonight against the Rockies😳😳 The Rockies starter had 13 strikeouts but the Padres managed to raise his August ERA. St Louis had less strikeouts against him in his last start, but didn't manage to score. I am sure they would prefer our outcome

Just fortunate the Pads had some quality pitching of their own.

At this point I'd settle for 26Ks every night and a solo game winning homer from Reyes in the 9th.

If we can get full value for him (assuming he improved from here), we would be better off.

The metrics called for the decline of Villanueva (spot on) the regression of Hedges on both sides (spot on) and they will likely be right in this case, as well.

Me thinks you put way too much emphasis on the metrics!

He kind of reminds me of Nate Colbert, power hitters are at a premium right now in MLB.

Me thinks you put way too much emphasis on the metrics! Framing. Throwing out runners. On offense, he slashed .308/.366/.527 in July. August, down to .250 with a sub .300 OBP. He's a pronounced flyball hitter (something like 46%) and those BABIP's tend to dip because those become outs as more time goes.

I don’t have enough time on my hands to devote the attention you do to the team. Takes the fun out of the game for me as a casual fan.

Back to the original premise of this thread. The K-O-Meter. The Padres have the 2nd most K's in baseball, with 1391, or 9.39/game. Only the White Sox have more.
MLB teams combined, at their current rate, will strike out over 41,100 times this season. Strikeouts have increased every season since 2006.
DAMN, that's a lot of K's.
