You can't win when you can't score....

Awful offense.

[AztecBill]

The last 15 games they havent scored 5 runs once. The prior 15 games they averaged 5 runs a game. This worm will turn again. Hopefully it will be soon.

Shut out Friday.
One run Saturday.
Sunday...our best pitcher is on the mound but the Padres are trailing, 3-0, in the thrird. Game over. We're tied for first heading to Colorado tomorrow. This team just can't hit.

Padres hitting .247 as a team, just awful. Tied for next to last, while the Giants are up at .258.


The hitting is just piss poor. Incredible pitching (starters and pen), and guys like LeBLanc and Correia stepping up bigtime propelled the Padres to first.

Now, the Pads are not AS bad as they looked the last two weeks, but their offense truly is bad. It is. Not enough impact bats, and Ludwick has been a huge disappointment. He had a very good .827 OPS this year with St. Louis, in San Diego it's a paltry .656. While hitting about .216 for us.

$#!+, I didn't realize that!

[johneaztec]

In a reality check, I asked myself, if someone told you at the start of the season that the Padres would be tied for first in September would you ecstatic? Heck yes, I told myself!!!!!!!!

I'm ecstatic. Reality check. Try it, you might not be as pissed anymore.

Wow.

[83aztec]

They seemed to have found the bats. At least for the last two games. 16 hits last night

Wow.

I decided to enjoy the ride since I never expected to have something to cheer about in September at the beginning of the
season.


I understand people being upset at losing the big lead, but this is just how I'm choosing to handle it.

Has the worm indeed turned? It seems to have. Now let's get all the players hot together for a month - September 13-October 13.

FYI: The Rockies have not given up a lot of runs at home. The Padres scoring many runs at Coors is a legit accomplishment. Colorado ERA at home 4.20, not much worse then their 3.89 ERA on the road. 0.31 runs per game or less than a single run in a 3 game series.
