Re: Official San Diego Padres Thread - 2006

Can we please just make the schedule all on the road...and ITS MAY and the padres are 3-0

Nice to see that Bellhorn is hot....hopefully he doesn't cool off to early and BARFIELD is a STUD............I get to update my Barfield/Loretta tracker

What's with Bellhorn? All of sudden he's the best hitter on the team... but that still doesn't excuse him on those string of strikeouts in key pinch-hit situations last month.

Anyways, this team needs to stay this consistent, but the offense hasn't shown it's capable of doing so especially given the current player's track records (Cameron, Greene, Piazza, Gonzalez, etc).

PETCO!!!......lol Think its a myth now.

I simply don't get. It's been more than two years and the team still looks different at home than on the road. If they'd forget about the ballpark and just play the game then I think there wouldn't be such as noticeable difference in their play because a ballpark is a ballpark... sure it sometimes gives slight edges, but you're still playing in a ballpark.

Re: Official San Diego Padres Thread - 2006

Bellhorn has always been a streak hitter..When hes hot, hes hot and you need to keep his bat in the lineup any way possible and then he can just be flat out cold (ie. see the pinch hitting appereances)

Yeah I don't get it either. Its a ballpark, come on who cares about the dimensions and what not. Every ballpark has something wierd about it in terms of distance.So now they need to take the mindset that PETCO is a Away Ballpark and just continue to smack the ball around. Stop trying to kill the ball in petco and starting hitting line drives and stringing hits together like they have been on the road.

It's a pity how one of these two starter's pitching performances will be wasted. What a pitcher's duel except I guess the seventh is the most Tomko will reach (86 pitches through 5).

Is it safe to say that Clay Hensley has earned his stripes as a starter on the Padres?

Re: Official San Diego Padres Thread - 2006

It's really tough since Woody has been pitching well too (and I am surprised). As for Chan Ho... I can't really tell.

Yeah, I think it's a crutch.

We need players who can hit on jupiter if they had too. Mentally tough players are what build championship caliber teams.

I'd still feel better if they had another competent starter and were able to use him in the 7th to get to Linebrink and Trevor.

Re: Official San Diego Padres Thread - 2006

True, but until Scott Cassidy falters there's no problem with him being the seventh inning guy.

Anyways, when Carlos Zambrano said he was looking to get back on track (in an article, I don't know if it was in the newspaper or one of the sports websites' articles), he wasn't kidding.

Yup, mentally tough guys are exactly what the padres need. Also guys like Gathright or Crawford....even Baldelli wouldn't even be bad if he was healthy

Cassidy is fine for now.

Re: Official San Diego Padres Thread - 2006

I have no faith in Cassidy, but hopefully he proves me wrong.

Being the sucker that I Am, I am going to the game tonigh. Hopefully they will win a game I attend for once.

I heard today is the Salute to the Negro Leagues Night. Maybe Buck O'Neill will visit the 4SD booth as he does every year.

Re: Official San Diego Padres Thread - 2006

Piazza needs to be traded so Bowen and Bard can play.

Great win... but the home team's home batting average is still where Khalil likes his average. (.195ish)
