I agree
the fabled bat that will make the Padres better, does not exist. We have to win this one on our own, with the team we already have. Here’s to hoping Venable, Headley, Hundley heat up in the second half. I’ve got a good feeling they will. Not the same kind of feeling I got when I saw that picture up there.

I know what going down means.
I’m not that innocent.
I get that he was making a going down joke.
It just didn’t work very well.
And Ryan would be much more attractive if he could hit. Which he can’t.

I like the article.
Its simple, explains how they are winning, and explains statistics many writers and bloggers assume people know.

"Los Angeles is like San Diego’s older, uglier sister that has herpes." -- Justin Halpern
I'm really thinking 6 man rotation for the second half of the season
either or a constant spot start rotation for a 6th pitcher… (spot start for #3, next week spot start for #4, next week spot start for #5, etc…)
Latos, LeBlanc, and Richard are going to need some rest….
and we probably don’t get CY back.
Not to be mean
But, you can think it all you want, but until rosters get bigger than 25 it will never happen. Teams are already stretching the limits of how big a bullpen can be, and by adding a 6th starter you take away a bullpen guy. That’s basically why it hasn’t happened yet. Also, starters are creatures of habit and preparation. Adding a true 6th man or this spot starter throws guys off and might hurt either their performance or the chemistry of the team.
I’m not to force any opinion on you (I actually don’t have a strong opinion on the issue), just trying to present to you why this hasn’t and won’t happen.
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
the problem is...
we can’t pitch Latos, LeBlanc, and/or Richard the entire season…
Richard last year ~150 innings
Latos last year ~ 50 innings majors (I think it was ~100 in the minors?)
LeBlanc last year I think was similar to Latos overall…. someone may know better.
Right now LeBlanc is at 74 innings and the other two are at 86 and 89 innings (after 72 games).
We are either going to run into a really nasty wall near the end of August, OR we can try to do something now to ease that wall….
Granted, we can just limit our starters to 5 innings per outing (or something), but the sooner there is a plan in place for this issue, the better.
There is no reason to think that we won’t be in the playoff hunt for the rest of the year, and hopefully make the playoffs.
I didn’t realize we were in such bad shape (in this regard) until I saw one of the above articles. I should also point out that this assumes Buddy and Hoyer care about limiting our pitchers, which they apparently do.
I wouldn't worry about Richard and LeBlanc.
They’ve been throwing professionally for years and have each approached 200 innings in seasons past. They’ll be fine. The one that should concern you is Latos.

I would bet you
That the team figures Richard and LeBlanc are both ready for ~190-200 innings. Richard went >170 in 08 and > 160 in 07 so he’s definitely in the clear. With LeBlanc his long term prospects aren’t as high as Latos’ so you really don’t have to be cautious unless he becomes ineffective. So, I think your worries might be misplaced. It’s really just Latos that’s the issue and they’ll find someone to take his innings if they need to. MLB trade rumors even just posted something that we are looking for starting pitching.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Settle down
That is not going to happen. We aren’t going to outbid the big boys for a 1/2 year rental of a player.

Looking at bringing in a pitcher?
Why not use Stauffer?
"Los Angeles is like San Diego’s older, uglier sister that has herpes." -- Justin Halpern
I think we could use Stauffer AND another starting pitcher.
Let’s be honest (no jinx!) we’ve been very lucky on the injury front as far as our pitching is concerned. Besides CY and Stauffer, everyone else has been fine. I wouldn’t expect to cruise through the rest of the season that way.
I heard Darren Smith talking to one of the Marlins announcers today and he was saying that the Marlins have ONE pitcher from their bullpen who was there on opening day and has been there for the whole season. Every other guy has missed time due to injury or is gone due to poor performance.
I realized how lucky we are when I heard that.
by theodore donald kerabatsos on Jun 25, 2010 4:04 PM PDT up reply actions
The weird thing to me
is that they talked before the season about using off days as an opportunity to skip starts for Latos, yet they haven’t shown any willingness to do so. They’ve even left him in to pitch the 7th inning when he’s over 80 or 90 pitches and we have a lead.
It’s almost as if they’ve decided to either a) use him as much as possible now and shut him down completely in August, or b) screw it and go for broke.

Its only now the end of June
They could be waiting for the All-Star break to re evaluate and restructure things. I want to make sure Stauffy still has his early season form before looking to have him start regularly. Only because, it seems, he would be taking starts from our ace…

I don't think they were planning on being in first place
and having Latos becoming the clear ace of the staff when they were talking about holding him back a little.

Based on the way he's pitching and how he doesn't really labor when he starts
And, I’m guessing here, that he’s not showing any exceptional fatigue after he starts that they may be leaning towards going for broke on a well informed gamble. Maybe.
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
That would be best case scenario.
He pitches us into the playoffs and doesn’t show any ill effects.
