Padres beat Phillies in extras

That right there was a fun game. Juuust enough for the Padres to hang onto first for another day.

I see that we have to play the Phillies again tomorrow. The Padres have been in Philadelphia for like, ever. I myself have never been to Philadelphia, but I imagine it to be a luscious, tropical place with sunshine year round and exotic animals wandering the streets.

Game ball goes to Axion for valiantly trying to persuade us into believing that AKGJ's ridiculous delayed attempt to advance to third with two outs on an infield play was somehow aggressive and not really uncalled for. You go on with your bad self. Walkin' the walk. AKGJ later redeemed himself with some nice glovework.

Game ball would have gone to eastbaysd for saving the late open thread, but then she got all mad at me for no good reason and now her game ball is in Axion's grubby little 4chan wandering hands.

GO PADRES!!! SPLIT THIS BITCH TOMORROW!!

my favorite thing to do at Fangraphs

is check the WPA graphs and look at the score lineup on the right hand side ranking the day’s games by average leverage index. It basically tells you what the best and worst games of the day are. (SD/PHI currently tops in the NL for the day at 1.72)

With all the talk about the Dodgers outperforming their numbers

it’s not unusual for teams to have hot stretches like this, no matter their final record. I read a piece the other day where a computer randomly generated wins and losses for a 162-game season, with the only condition being that the end result was an 81-81 record.

There were stretches where the team played like the best team in baseball, and the worst team in baseball. There was a period where the team won 31 of 40 games, and a period where they won like 5 of 25. We like to assign meaning to these streaks, but there isn’t, really.

taking certain measures regarding how teams perform vs the pitcher, rather than the “team vs team”?

Apropos of nothing anyone is talking about...

I went to Houston on business and stayed at a hotel near Reliant Park. There were Cubs fans there. I gather the Astros actually won.

Then I got into an altercation with a young man in a bar, which was basically healed when we bonded over our mutual hatred of American League baseball and the DH.

Fair enough...

Any suggestions how we get passable offense from our OF?

Position/ OPS / Rank/ MLB Avg OPS / Gap divided by Std Dev
LF: .591 / 30th / .749 / 1.61
CF: .677 / 23rd / .747 / .65
RF: .725 / 26th / .804 / 1.05

Either…
a) current internal options get better (nothing in the farm waiting)
b) we hope we can continue to win with dismal OF production (but good D)

by jayman66 on Jun 7, 2010 11:33 AM PDT up reply actions  

we don't need all stars

we just need our 4 OF’s to perform near league avg, and that should be enough to get us to 100 wins.
