It is interesting that the Padres will use their fifth starting position against the Giants most effective pitcher from last year. That may give the Padres the best chance to win 3 out of 4

Tomorrow we pitch our fifth starter versus San Francisco's most effective starter last year. It would be really impressive if we win.

Padres start the season off nicely and take the opening series from the Giants 3-1. However, I am little confused by some of Andy Green's decision making in Sunday's game. In the bottom of the 7th with the score tied at 1-1, Hedges led off the inning with a single. Renfroe then pinch hit for the pitcher Warren. I'm ok with that. But why doesn't Green play small ball and bunt over Hedges in that situation and that late in the game? I guess if you are going to pinch hit for pitcher you don't bunt. Still don't get it that late in the game. Instead of bunting, Renfroe hit into a fielders choice and Hedges was forced out at second. Not saying for sure the bunt would have been successful, but the next batter Garcia doubled. If the bunt worked, that would have been a run scored and guy in scoring position with one out and the top of the order coming up. The Padres did get the basses loaded with an intentional walk to Hosmer in order to get to Machado. Manny did deliver a RBI on a lucky fielders choice. I feel there could have been more runs scored though. Also, why is Reyes hitting in the 4th spot? I am not claiming to be a MLB manager. Just curious. I think the key to having a decent season is guys staying healthy, especially Myers. Anyway, nice start to the season and some really good pitching.
Go Padres!!

I think the key to having a decent season is guys staying healthy, especially Myers. Anyway, nice start to the season and some really good pitching. Go Padres!! Hunter Renroe is a proven MLB hitter with 50 extra base hits last season (.504 SLG). Garcia was a .234 hitter in the minors last year. Renfroe almost had a single. That play at second was really close. Without the force play, they had no chance to throwing out Renfore. If Garcia and Renfore switched places, I would have Garcia bunting. Reyes is hitting 4th because he is a very good hitter. He had a .280 batting average and 16 HR (.498 slg) in only 261 ABs last season as a 22 year old. Your post reads like you are basing all your Padres information on what has happened in this series. |

I have also been watching this team for over 45 years, played enough baseball and do not agree with some of Andy's decision making at times. I will always be a Padres fan. Sometimes an angry or disappointed one. Although pretty happy the last 4 days. You are the stats and chart guy. I'm the guy that watches and scratches my head at times. However, we are both seemingly hoping for Padre success and have been waiting a looooooong time. |

If one doesn't use stats in a discussion about players, you can only tell us your "feelings" about a player. Reyes, for instance, had a .834 OPS last season. There are only 18 players in the NL with a better OPS and only 13 players with a better SLG. That was as a 22 year old so he should on a steep improvement curve. Yes, batting 4th is about the right place for him. Without stats, how do you know about Garcia and whether to trust him to deliver? Did you know he hit .234 in the minors last season? would that matter to you when you make decisions, if you were the manager? Or would you be "scratching you head" before the decisions instead of after. |

I know baseball as well. Played it and umpired it. I would have bunted in that situation and that late in the game. Just my opinion. |
