You're using facts to try and win an argument against someone who doesn't understand them. Good luck with that. On this list, the Padres are 26th out of 30 in 2021 through today for runners left in scoring position per game. Perhaps from some other statistic out there, another argument could be made. BTW, Dodgers are sitting solidly in last place… So the difference between first and last is less than 2 runners per game. Not exactly all that massive of a gap. It doesn't really paint an informative picture. |

Lol. Nice try. Before today's game they were 26th with RISP left on base. Try butting into a debate that you know something about, instead of looking bad, again. Irony. So, now that you understand that they ARE 26th in the league with leaving RISP when you said they aren't, what's the spin with that? Is that ok to you based on your excuses? "Oh, well, everybody in the league is down." Well, we shouldn't be 26th down, and hold them accountable, like Tingler has. Hopefully today was the start of a turnaround. |

Congratulations on finding a poorly framed statistic where the best team in baseball is dead last and the gap between first and last is two runners per game. "Hold them accountable"....For leaving 3 runners per game in scoring position? If they left one less man on base per game, they would go from #26...to third. I'm sure Jayce will take their lunch money from them, though. Of more pressing concern is a host of other things, but with rain the next few days, the pitching staff should catch a break and be able to get fresh and some guys will hopefully just get their legs back underneath them for when the schedule picks up towards the end of the month. |

Ok, Spin Doctor. I'm leaving it how you left your last post, on a good note. I'll say hopefully the hitters will feed off today, and continue to drive in runs with RISP. That's our biggest concern. |

It most definitely is not. A bullpen that is down a host of talented arms and a starting rotation that cannot get through five innings with regularity is a much, much larger concern. The bullpen only has so many bullets to fire - Sooner or later, the depth is going to run dry and the team is going to be a tipping point to pull a move to get reinforcements or not. |

Love the way the offense is moving the runners over by hitting hit the ball to the right side, sacrifice flys, etc.... That wasn't happening much before the last two games. The little things are what matters.
Let's keep it up Pads, because most likely we'll need to do the little things with this make shift lineup in order to win.

The hit & run with Pham was a thing of beauty. Professional hitting at its best. Right where the 2B would have been.... They're also doing it without giving up ABs. Pitchers who are PH'ing are the ones bunting guys over, but the regulars are taking quality full swings to get the job done. |

And then...Pham tries to give it back, while screwing up a play in LF that eventually led to Tingler having to pull Hill to get to Melancon earlier than normal, and then watching Melancon stagger through a 5-out save. Without Pham's miscue, Hill possibly gets out of the inning, Melancon pitches only the 7th, and quite possibly would be available to close game 2 if necessary. |

Head-scratching stat I heard on 97.3 this morning: Pads are #1 in the NL in OPS on the road...and dead last in home OPS.

More head-scratchers. Why is Grisham trying to steal third with two outs in the 7th inning of a tie game. Good fscking grief. Who dials that kind of play up?
The mistakes today are mind-boggling. Grisham had two of them. His errant throw to first base in game one led to a Rockies run.

Tingler said in the postgame the plan was for a 4 out save, so it added 1 out and doubtful Melancon is available to close the 2nd anyway. Why aren't you bitching about the several errors Tatis has made to stretch pitchers further out or the error by Grisham that cost a run? Is your hate of Pham that biased? |

Perhaps because I was talking about game 1 of the DH, and Tatis is on the IL? |

Bottom five in the league in the last fifteen years. But have their splits ever been this dramatic? I know the season is young, but frustrating to say the least to know the Pads could easily have the best record in the NL with a little more O at home. |

Can we give some credit to the manager and front office? We don't sweep this series a few years ago. No Myers, no Hosmer, no Tatis, no Profar, no Mateo, no Kela, no Pomeranz....and it doesn't matter thanks to the quality depth that the Padres have assembled.

I think people have given credit to the front office from day 1. He's not Lord Preller for nothing. What he did over the winter was beyond incredible, and that's before signing unemployed AAA talent that's been forced to step up. Do agree the one who doesn't get the credit he deserves is Tingler. Last year many were calling for his head whereas he was a MOY candidate, and this year he may be doing an even better job. I love reading Acee's tidbits about Tingler and his attitude and ability to adapt. He's the exact manager this team needs. |

He doesn't make moves which aren't defendable very often if ever and you can tell he's very respected in the locker room and dugout. PS. Just realized I typed Preller but meant Tingler when talking about Acee's tidbits. Corrected. |
