San Diego Padres Fan Confidence Poll: 6/14/2010

PrintToday's Fan Confidence Poll comes with a handy graph:
WOOOOOO... FANCY!
So the basic thing to note is that the blue line is the actual running average from week to week. The red and yellow lines are the average plus and minus the confidence interval to give us the upper and lower bounds, respectively. Super basic explanation is that when the red and yellow lines are closer to the blue line, our little poll is more likely to be accurate. Otherwise, our average is pretty much the blue line, but because of our sample, the ACTUAL Fan Confidence could be anywhere in between the red and yellow lines.
Now you can pass graduate level statistics.
Also, while you're looking at it, you should vote in this week's fan confidence poll. BOILERPLATE:
The rules are simple. On a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being no confidence at all, 10 being absolute confidence, How confident are you in the San Diego Padres organization?
"Confidence" is just about anything you want to interpret it as. The front office, the future prospects, the play on the field, the park, etc etc etc.
Do you think we'll ever touch 8 even though we have the best team in the National League? I don't know. What do you think? Maybe.
If you don't exercise your right to vote, then you have no right to complain, except for if you're a complainer in general, in which case I may hide your comments out of principle.

I dropped to an 8.
The loss yesterday hit me hard. I don’t know why, I was just kind of mad about it. Maybe because I didn’t get a lot of sleep the other night. Hmmm. Anyway, It was almost a 9 because we are SUPER close to signing Jedd Gyorko (our second rounder), and he’s in Eugene now getting a physical, but it wasn’t enough to push it over the top.

We already won the series and were facing a great pitcher.
I’d say we faired pretty well. Two sweeps of Toronto and Baltimore will see me at a 9+.
=SD=
Yeah, I'm not saying we were terrible
I was just disappointed. And I don’t know why, haha. Oh well, on to the next opponent

I don't know why
But, I went from 7 to 8. I guess that series win vs the Mariners buoyed me. If we lose to the Jays tonight I’ll probably be ready to go back down to 7.
The draft did nothing to waver me. Nothing special to inspire confidence nothing silly that would make me lose any. I do have a hard time imagining any of these draft picks as future All Stars though.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Even if I didn't hate him on principle
It’s still hard to envision future All Star. Of course people envisioned high school draft pick Homer Bailey as a future All Star all the way up through AAA and that hasn’t exactly gone as planned so far. You never know.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I'm an 8
I don’t think I could ever go up to 9 until after the all star break. I don’t think I could ever go up to 10 until the last month of the season. Basically, I’m saying that there’s still a lot of season left, but I’m as confident as I can get at this point in the season.
I can follow that logic
If at this point in the season though we have same stuff going on and a few more wins due to somebody batting behind Adrian with a .300/.400/.500 triple slash line I could probably see the 9 coming into view.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
don't get me wrong
I’m very much in the thought that these games count just as much as games in September. But there are a lot of variables between now and then with hot/cold streaks, injuries, trades, and tim mcclelland.
by kevintheoman on Jun 14, 2010 3:41 PM PDT up reply actions
Still 6 because:
Just wait it’s only April May June
Adrian is going be traded to the White Sox Red Sox nobody
CY is injured hurt out for the season
We can’t hit worth a darn shit

Chase Headley’s offense is greatly improved a little better still about the same now that he’s at third base.

8 in finite fashion.
I’ve been fairly optimistic, even before the season started, on this padres team. I should add that I expected a LOT more from our corner outfielders, Blanks and Venable. I expected them to hit a least in the .270’s through the all-star break with more than ten homers each. We’ve all spoken our peace on those two already, so I’ll just sidestep any commentary on them.
The pitching, having its expected series hiccup, let one get away from them in the against the Martyrs, but all was not lost as the Padres won two of a three game set against the Martyrs, which is alright by me.
I love this team, thats why I keep the fire, if we’re going to fight for something, stand up and fight for this!

I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m just curious. I figure they are just getting him ready for Saturday, i just can’t see them not taking him off the disabled list for his bobblehead night.

I don't think he'll be back by then.
I don’t think he’ll come up until he’s playing really well in Portland, showing that he deserves to come back up. That’s what Hoyer said, anymore.

But it is one thing to say it and another to follow through. How long can a player be on a rehab assignment before a team has to option him to the minors?
