Padres fail to sweep Rays, lose 3-5

PrintI'm bummed that he Padres could hold their early lead. Jerry Hairston singled in a run followed by an Oscar Salazar two run homer that gave the Padres a 3-1 lead in the 2nd inning.
The Pads had opportunities, but bad base running among other things lead to a little bit of sloppiness that kept them from scoring any further.
I think my favorite part of the game was B.J. Upton robbing Anthony Gwynn Jr of another hit with a diving catch. Then in the bottom half of the same inning Gwynn returns the favor by robbing Upton of a hit.
Not a bad game, but one that would have been nice to win.
Go Padres!

We forgot how to sweep
Ladies, teach these men ;)
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Of all the things I'd like to teach the Padres...
…sweeping is not one of them. But I suppose we do what we must, so if they’d all like to come over to my house, I’d be happy to show them my technique.
We have one of those shark thingies
so I don’t think I’d be the best to teach them…Plus, I kinda don’t know how to use it…
But vacuuming, come on over!

Teach the Padres how to last forever while they're on top.

Just to point this out
Baseball Prospectus keeps a few different sets of playoff odds, and adjusted standings. They haven’t been updated yet for today’s games, but I’ll give you what they were after last night.
In the playoff odds based solely on real data (what has actually happened in the season), the Padres have a 67.8% chance of making the playoffs, and a 56.2% chance of winning the division. The next closest team in the NL West, the Giants, have less than half those odds.
In the playoff odds that take their PECOTA pre-season projections into account, the Padres have a 40.8% chance of making the playoffs, and a 32% chance of winning the division. The next closest NL West team is again the Giants, though with a closer gap than the previous set of odds. This is significant, because for most of the season despite our success, these rankings have had the Dodgers and at time the Giants ahead of us. Finally passing both those teams and taking the top spot in these rankings is pretty big.
In the adjusted standings, our record is just about what it should be based on runs scored and allowed, strength of schedule, etc. The Rockies and Giants are very close, right behind us, and the Dodgers are stuck at .500.
I point these things out in order to show that we’re in a pretty good position.

Odds
In 2007 our playoff odds got as high as 97.8%. That didn’t turn out so well. Baseball Prospectus has it ranked as the 10th biggest choke job of all time.
We were outshadowed by the Mets though that had the 5th biggest baseball choke job of all time (99.8%).

Yep.
Still fun to look at. I like to point out that the Broncos last year had like a 98% chance at making the playoffs at one point.

I wonder if "Choke Factor" will be included in future projections

Darrin Smith
Was having a conniption fit about the Padres prospects of resigning Adrian… and is so pissed off at Headley he could scream.
He wants to sign Adrian LT and get a FA 3rd basemen so bad he was almost in tears.

Headley is giving a lot of value with his glove.
Unfortunately he’s regressed as a hitter.
He’s probably not going anywhere because there is no immediate replacement for him and won’t be for some time (James Darnell is in AA and struggling).
The good news is his defense appears to be a plus, and he has a really strong track record of success. He deserves a lot more time before we give up on him.

Darren wants Ty Wigginton

To respond to that
Wigginton is hitting at a pace which his career suggests is unsustainable, and despite that he’s giving a lot of that value back with poor defense.
Headley has generated nearly half a win more than Wigginton despite his struggles at the plate. To replace Chase with Ty would be a downgrade.

You gotta figure
That when he hits arbitration after 2011 they’ll have a decision to make. Until then, he’s cheap.

That is a gross exaggeration of what I heard.

Wait a second
you’re changing your story. First you said he was almost in tears. Now he was almost yelling. He was never doing either, just almost. What’s the real story?!

He was yelling and getting emotional. I smelled tears.

Bottom Line.
Darrin Smith HATES SAVIOR!…
And has emotional problems regarding his good friend Adrian Gonzales.

I'm a night owl so I didn't suffer through this loss
but I still feel pretty good about taking a series on the road from a WS-caliber team!
Double same.
