PADRES: This slump is no desert mirage
"But it is probably a factor of the three things: defense, offense and pitching...We're in that range now where we are losing low-scoring games and losing some games when we score a few runs." -

Rookie’s start will give staff rest - SignOnSanDiego.com
“This is something we’ve talked about for awhile,” Padres manager Bud Black said Tuesday afternoon. “Our five starters have started all but two games this season.”

Perpetual Padres Saga: August Evaluation
"Some fans are starting to worry about this team right now but I'm not. Keeping faith sounds cliche but it helps a lot for not only myself but for the fans and the team as well. Positive energy always outshines negative energy in so many ways. I have also been seeing whining and panicking from some of the fans and it's very unacceptable."

I'm not panicing.
I am just unhappy about my favorite team losing. I actually think a close division race will be better for momentum in the playoffs.
And I still think Frenchy has forgotten how to pitch.

I still think its funny
That people think there is something significantly different about the way LeBlanc goes about his pitching now as opposed to, say, April. Looks exactly the same to me. He lives and dies on the outside corner and fooling people on the change. Same LeBlanc. Sometimes he’s just not able to put it where he’d like it to go.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

lots of loft
this is what ive noticed too. he doesnt have a strong enough fastball to be missing up in the zone. his good starts he keeps the ball down. when he’s tired he elevates. maybe its just the sheer amount of innings we’ve put on that arm.
just a thought.

I love the way Deno plays.
It seems to put his whole body into everything he does. Gives 110%. That extra 10 is years coming off his life pushing his body beyond what its normally capable of.
I know its better for pitchers to keep their cool. But I think I may need a little emotion from these guys down this last month. August is behind us. Lets focus on September and winning some ballgames.

"Soon the Padres will be looking up"
Soon ? Doubt it. Maybe at the final wire they miss out . Giants are not world beaters and Rox are to far out.
Sooooo Stoked
We just need .500 ball against the NL west the rest of the way.

I think the team will be fine.
I do think they’ve seriously jeopardized their chances at winning 95+ games and getting homefield throughout.

How about a 21-10 tear in these last 31 games. It’s time to clean f***ing house and get hot going into playoffs.
Padres need to close up shop
when they get back home. A final record of 7-3 or 6-4 would almost lock up the division (two of three from COL; two of three from LA; three of four to end the Giant threat)

Heath said they had a team meeting this morning.
I hope that will kick them in the collective butts to start winning
and playing Padres baseball the way WE know they can play it.

They need to put some fear into the opposing hitters
They have gotten WAY too comfortable at the plate.

Frieri delivered last night with chin music to Reynolds
Let’s see if Latos can offer an encore performance
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
History repeating itself?
2007: As the Chargers went 5-5, Tomlinson called a team meeting before playing the Ravens, and said that they are still within reach to win the division. They go on a bender the second half, win the AFC West, and go deep in the playoffs.
Coencidence? I think not.

Padres linwup
Venable 8, Tejada 6, Gonzalez 3, Ludwick 9, Headley 5, Hundley 2, Cunningham 7, Cabrera 4, Latos 1
Team Latos and Sly Swine is starting! :-D
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
A lineup that I actually like?!
I probably wouldn’t put Venable in the leadoff spot and I would switch Hundley and Cunningham but overall pretty impressive.
by thepadfather on Sep 1, 2010 12:03 PM PDT up reply actions
I like it
Hopefully Venable can get on base.
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

I'm a little happy about it
At the risk of sounding like an Eckstein hater, the scrappy is having a little bit of trouble converting the DP with Tejada (two weak arms together doesn’t work too well) and his range and/or position seem to be rusty. Eck has also provided 0 extra hits since returning and his K’s have become more frequent.
Now, obviously, Cabrera hasn’t done much this season, but his energy in the field and the spaciousness (for hitting) of Chase Field may work well for him today. We’ll see.
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 glad I'm not the only one who thinks Eckstein's arm is slow
It almost looks like it would be better if he just handed the ball to Cabrera so he could run it over to Adrian.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
I keep most of my Eck criticisms to myself
Since people like his personality (as do I). But, there are real issues associated with an aging ballplayer who was already riding on the edge of being a productive major leaguer.
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
Or I should say
A productive major leaguer on the field of play.

No Zonie linwup yet
Do the fools realize there is a game in less than 3 hours?
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
Now less than 2 hours away & still no Snake linwup
Dumb Zonies are dumb.
Padres posted theirs 2 hours ago.
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
Per Jack Cronin on Twitter
‘The #Padres have Selected LHP Cory Luebke & C Chris Stewart from AAA Portland, Recalled RHP Ryan Webb from AAA & activated INF Oscar Salazar.’
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
Damn only 2 Minor Leaguers?
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Per Marty on twitter
‘Hoyer says Padres are recalling Ryan Webb, Chris Stewart and Corey Luebke. Additional moves on Fri to include 2 more pitchers.Dusty Ryan has been designated…Oscar Salazar is off the DL.’
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
I guess Chris Stewart wasn't on the 40?
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
He was not
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
Sweet, Chewie's (Webb) back!
He just seems to be a Wookie in my eyes.

Tru dat
Webb can get his Yoda back. Frieri will be the wookie one. And somebody else will have to carry the Storm Trooper backpack until they recall Perdomo.
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
Or perhaps
Wookie of the Year?
I’ll see myself out.

What I want to know is what the final piece of that puzzle is
I see two players added to the 40 man (Stewart and Luebke) and one coming off (Dusty Ryan). Salazar and Webb were already on the 40 man and just put on the active roster. But, I want to know who else got the boot.
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 can maybe it up with the best of them
Its time for facts.
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
And the answer is...
Cesar Carrillo.

I hope Nick gets more starts.
It’s been nice riding Yorvit’s career year, but Hundley has more talent overall, and the lack of playing time is hurting him, I think.

we need Chase to turn people's tears in to wine
get the d-backs drunk, then bean them with pitches when they wobble over the plate. then we can be all “i didn’t mean to look he fell in to the zone” while inside we are giggling with glee.
