San Diego Padres Fan Confidence Poll: 6/21/2010

Charts rock the house.
So last week, Gaslamp Ballers claimed to be more confident, but at the same time, that weren't as sure about how much more confident they really were, which is why the upper bound is as high as it's ever been, but the lower bound actually saw a slight dip. People just don't know what to make of things, but they feel pretty good.
Which is a lot like life. *slow clap*
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.
You should vote now.

I'm still at 8
When they add a piece to this team, depending on who it is, it may rise.

What the hay
I’ll give it a nine. See how that goes.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Seis, todavia
When the kids start to heat up again we should be able to gain ground in the division. Looming at 10 games over .500 for weeks doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

It's funny
You use the word “When”, which implies that you have confidence that the kids will heat up and we will gain ground. Yet, a 6 seems low for that level of confidence.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

It's been a six since the first poll
I’m don’t wanna ride any emotional rollercoasters. Up and down.and up and down. I’m drivin’ down Highway 6, slow and steady.
When I’m confident that we have a shot at greatness, I’ll jump up to a 10, and never look in the rear view mirror.

I selected 8,
but my finger tried to select 9. Which I do not understand, because it is the same finger that changes the channel whenever Heater is pitcing.

Based off of the BAL series, I had to rate my confidence level at a 7 right now. I really wish it was higher, but that series was just so frustrating to me. I know we won the series, that there are no easy wins in pro sports, and all that other stuff, but let’s be honest…There is no way that a division leading team should be tested that much by a team that going into the series only had 18 wins…
BAL is a team we should have absolutely crushed. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that we took the series and are still in first…It’s just that the way we went about things didn’t inspire a great deal of confidence in me ;[

Up by one since we were able to hold on for a couple of more week. Plus the bats actually picked up the pitching a couple of times in the last couple of weeks. :-)
I've always been the most begative Padre fan I know but....
I clicked on the “9”. Don’t know what to say; these guys are exciting, and the division is up for grabs, but we’ve stayed on top for quite some time. We have the pitching, and if we can add a bat then we might be pretty dangerous……
The negative part of me though, says that this is the Padres, and that the best we will probably add is a veteran way past his prime. But we will see. Hopefully I’m proved wrong.
Either way, my confidence is pretty high right now.

Wrong question
Management doesn’t play baseball last time I checked.
Ask me about confidence in the team, and how well they’ll deal with management cluster f&&ks, and the usual front office screwups, and I’d give that a 9 1/2 so far.

Did you even read this?
“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.
Yes
yes I did. But how do you respond to a general question when you have a good deal of confidence in the team, and no confidence what-so-ever that the suits won’t manage to find away to piss it all down the drain? (ill timed trades, ect, ect.)
Soooooo….My comment stands.

And I did.
I’ll ignore the front office clown car, and take the team for 1000 Alex.

Welllllll.....
I had you pegged as an intelligent writer, who wouldn’t be given to running an aimless poll, lacking any focus.
If I was wrong about that, then I guess that would make my comment wrong too.

Can't you be both an intelligent writer
And purposely create aimless polls for kicks and giggles. I don’t see that they’re mutually exclusive.
I suggest that if you want to smoke polls, do it somewhere else maybe.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Is the way you keep interjecting yourself into the discussion. I’m pretty sure the hosts are perfectly capable of speaking for themselves.

And this was never a private discussion. Perhaps you’re confused with email.

I'm curently at 7.5
Losing a series to the Toronto Blue Jays is understandable, though frustrating (understandable because they’re a solid hitting team, frustrating because we’re not even a decent hitting team).
Taking two of three from the worst team in the Majors? That series should have been a three game sweep. Even worse, it was off Kevin Millwood, a guy who, up until last weekend, had never won a game. There’s no excuse to not sweep a team that’s down and out like that.
Jed Hoyer seriously needs to get a bat (and another arm to add to the starting rotation, just to be on the safe side) when the Break rolls around.

Two weeks later
I’ll tell you what I liked. I liked this past few weeks with the typical road trip from hell. We went 5 and 4. These summer side shows are typical swamps of doom, because you’re playing teams that generally don’t stand a chance in their divisions, more often than not, and they have nothing to lose, so they love to knock you off. Something for them to play a little harder for.
We didn’t tank. Looked like we might there a couple of times, but we didn’t. That’s scrappy ball, and shows this team has heart. That will help a lot through the rest of this season, and after, if we do make the playoffs.
So yeh. My enthusiasm meter jumped up a few pegs to a 9 plus, based on this last week especially.

how about a Jed poll?
1-10 on how we think Jed is doing…
I am not giving him good marks…
Kouz for Scott/Cunningham may turn out, but KK is up to 730 OPS
Garland has got a good ERA, but I have cringe every start; he somehow limits the damage, but not much of an asset
Horrilbe marks for our OF. Our OF, collectively, has a lower VORP (one of BP’s metrics) than Pat Burrell on SF in 41 AB’s.
Which I am annoyed he did not pursue. 300k? What is the downside. He doesn’t hit and plays horrid D, sit or release him? Hit like has for SF, and sustains anything like it, and all upside. If he makes some move for some offense, I will shut up, but I don’t like the waiting.
7
We need to go on a nice little run and go something like 5-1 on this road trip. It seems like we’ve been treading water for a while, not really gaining any serious ground but still in 1st place.
I’m a little scared that the Rays are going to turn it around on us in a big way. On the other hand, they could keep skidding and we could steal the series or a sweep.

Lowered to Eight
Gotta drop it a bit from my previous 9. Sunday excepted, the hitters just aren’t getting it done with enough consistency. If management starts seriously talking about acquiring a good bat it’ll go to a 10.
7
Encouraged by Hoyer’s words that the bullpen (essentially) will not be dismantled this season… i.e. no trades of our great pitching core.
Not so encouraged by our recent onfield play against teams we should really be beating.
I love the pitching!
It rivals ‘06 and ’07 in terms of consistency and greatness. I voted 7 mostly due to the hitting. I think that if everyone is hitting well at once, we have a chance of going deep into the post-season. If it’s only Adrian and the hero of the day, we do not.
Well there you have it
Everyone seems to be in agreement. Democracy in action.
The poll was intentionally meaningless. I stand corrected.

Pretty much
Which makes all the intensity sort of ridiculous, but whatever floats their clocks.
In more important news, we won today.
