San Diego Padres - Time To Get Classy (OOTP10)

Re: San Diego Padres - Time To Get Classy (OOTP10)

I've decided to change my style up a bit. This dynasty is going to be a long haul if I'm going to turn this team around, so I'm going with the abbreviated box score to move things along faster. I'm still posting every players stats at the end of the week, so you'll still get a sense of how my entire team is doing.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
We were so close, I could taste it. I thought we were gonna pull one out tonight.
We got the ball to our closer Cla Meredith in the 9th, but he gave up 2 homers in 4 pitches and it was over.
Our offense crapped once again, they are on an absolutely terrible streak.
Speaking of terrible streaks, this makes it five straight games we've lost, we have to pull one out soon.
The start of this season has been worse than the time the raccoon got stuck in the copier.

Kevin Correia (0-1, 1.29 ERA) vs. Joe Blanton (1-0, 0.60 ERA)




Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
We are taking just a short trip down the road, but it's not likely things are going to lighten up any. We have lost five games in a row, and now we have to go four games against the defending World Series Champions. These guys are stacked. Not only do they have very good pitching, they have an offense that can't be stopped. The team isn't just Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins anymore, Jayson Werth has proven to be great, and Greg Dobbs is on fire to start the season. This has been a nightmare start to my GM career. Usually I'm the life of the party and love to have a good time, but this is taking it's toll on yours truly. We really need to win some games.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Another rough start for Jeff Niemann. He was going against a great offense though, we just got to give him time to settle in.
Our offense finally got something started up in this game, and it was even against a great pitcher.
We stuck with the Phillies all game long, that's a plus. Six games lost in a row, not so much.
We moved Scott Hairston to the leadoff spot for this game, and he really came through going 3-4 with a homer.
We'll probably switch between Hairston and Jody Gerut in the leadoff spot based on Righty/Lefty matchups.

Seven games in a row we've lost now. At first I could take it with a grain of salt, now it's getting embarrassing.
Second time on this trip we've been held to three or less hits. Our offense is just terrible right now.
What's going on with Jake Peavy? I could write off two bad starts as a rough start, but he's starting to worry me.
I'm already getting pressure from people saying he has a huge contract and isn't performing, I could be asked to move him this year.
I can't wait for this trip to get over and get back to sunny San Diego and my furry friend Baxter.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Make it eight games in a row. This is rough.
Our offense finally woke up today, too bad our pitching couldn't contain theirs.
Ryan Howard is a monster. That man literally scares me. I think he's on pace for a record season.
We finally have a hitter in Scott Hairston stepping up to the plate, it's about time somebody does.
One more game with Philly, then we have to play the Giants again. Where's the Pirates when you need them?

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
We won a game! That's super duper! Neat-o gang!
Our offense has finally arisen. This is a couple of games in a row where we are putting numbers on the board.
I have a feeling this game will start to turn things around and put us on a better path.
Kevin Correia has been rock solid this year, Heath Bell almost blew another game though, he might get pushed out of the setup role.
Nick Hundley has been our star hitter this year, and he was our biggest question mark coming in.
Where's Adrian Gonzalez? He hasn't done anything this year. He and Peavy were our strong points, both have been terrible.

Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
Well here were are back on the west coast. This time we are pulling into the bay to take on the San Francisco Giants once again. This time it's only going to be a two game series, and we get very lucky since we don't have to face Big Time Timmy Jim. (Greatest Sportscenter commercial ever! Tim Lincecum is the man.) With a win in our last game it feels as if a weight has been lifted off the team, and we can work on catching up with the rest of the West, which isn't a long haul like it may look from our record. The division leaders are only at 7-5, so contention is still well in reach. And after this series we get to play the Pirates! That's good news in it's own.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Well we almost won two games in a row. I guess a streak was too much to ask for.
Shawn Hill looked great, but the manager kept him out there too long and he ran out of gas in the 8th.
Little Everth Cabrera has no pop, or so we thought. That's two homers recently for him.
Randy Johnson is still looking great after all these years, he hasn't lost much.
We get a chance to leave San Francisco with a split in the next game, then we get to go home and host the Pirates!

We'll take the split! Our offense wasn't overly impressive today, but we kept at it and put runs on the board.
This is the kind of performance we expect out of Niemann more times than not as he starts to develop.
Good to see Adrian Gonzalez get on the board with a big RBI, hopefully his bat starts to come alive.
Heath Bell was able to come in and pitch a scoreless ninth, that's good to see. He needed a good outing.
We go home to host the Pirates now, hopefully we can finally win a series.

Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
We got back in San Diego last night, and I had a delicious steak a Tino's today to get ready for what I think is going to be a great series against the Pirates. I kid about how bad the Pirates are, but this year they are 8-8, so they may not be as bad as everybody thinks. Our team has started to click in the last couple of days, so hopefully we can notch off a couple of wins in this series. Also, Jake Peavy and Chris Young have been struggling. This Pirates offense could be just what they need to break out of their funks. It's another sunny day in San Diego, I might have to go grab me some afternoon delight before tonight's game.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
And that's a winning streak! Two in a row baby!
A very good start tonight by Jake Peavy, I'm so happy to see him back on track after such a tough start to the year.
Nick Hundley is stepping up huge so far. He's already hit four homeruns, we didn't expect much more than that all year from him.
Now that Peavy is back on track hopefully Chris Young does the same tomorrow.
Everth Cabrera swiped his third bag of the year, he gives our offense a legit speed threat.
Cla Meredith is looking very solid as our closer so far this year, I hope he starts to get more chances to close out Padres wins.

Heat wave. A tropical heat wave. Three wins in a row, we are on fire baby!
What a great game from Chris Young. That was a gem from start to finish. He needed that.
This was a classic Petco Park pitchers duel. Good thing we had the better man out on the mound tonight.
Chase Headley was our offense tonight, he drove one in then scored on a wild pitch to give us a one-run win.
Tomorrow we go for the sweep, if we win we doubled our wins for the season in this three game span.

All good things come to an end. We won the series even though we lost this game, I'm proud of our guys.
Kevin Correia looked strong once again for most of the game, but he tired out and the LaRoche's smashed him.
The Hairston/Gerut duo in the leadoff spot is doing very good, vastly outplaying what Eckstein was doing in that role.
Speaking of Eckstein, he's going to be sat for a few games while we give Edgar Gonzalez a shot to start.
Our team is staring to show more positives, I think things are turning around.
