Ryan Klesko can't come back soon enough ... only a few more games until Adrian is below .200

lol only a few more games before most of the team is below .200..........Kahlil isn't exactly Mr. Consistant.......if not for the HR's he'd be pathetic this year......and only on our team is 5 HR's considered great.......lol

[FmrFresnan]

I can't wait to start a thread on how the Padres are having a great month. Last year it jinxed them

It jinxed them all the way to the NL West crown.....

Why are you guys so down on this team? They've won 5 in a row with clutch hitting, and consistant pitching, yet you're begging for Klesko to come back? Yes Adrian is having quite a slump, but we're not 2 months into the season yet, let's give him some time. Plus, Bellhorn has been filling that hole in the offense with a big 3-run HR 2 nights ago and has been consistant at the plate since he's become a starter.

I'm not so much down on the team as not interested in pumping up lack of production across the board...... once again.......timely hitting is what we've gotten so far, which is great, but consistancy is what is needed for the long haul.....Bellhorn was 1-5, thank GOD his 1 was a HR.....Greene is tearing it up with a .204 BA, thank god his hits are HR's.....

If you look at this team, they are starting to play better, but they still aren't firing on even half their cylindars......team BA on the road is good, at home is pathetic.....pitching is doing a good job, but we MUST score consistantly to have any chance of contending.......

we rank 28th in team BA.....
and 26th in Runs scored.......
and thats truly RANK !!!

[FmrFresnan]

I, for one, don't really care what our rank is in any category. As long as this team continues to pile up wins, and not just for one month, but if they can keep this momentum throughout the rest of the season, I could care less what our rankings are in those categories. The Yankees will probably be the top team in a few categories at the end of the season, but if they don't win the W.S., what good did that ranking do them?

[padrefanforever]

stats don't give you wins, but they are usually a good barometer of how a team truly is playing.........luck is nice......luck might win a couple games.......but luck wont get you through a season

the stats are bad due to what they were doing (or NOT doing) before the hot streak started.

I'll hand you that it's still a small sample size, but the most current events has the Padres hitting on all cylindars. And don't knock on our hottest bat (Bellhorn) just because of one 1-5 game in the middle of it. (Although you'd be dense to not expect him to cool off eventually.)

All that aside, let's see if the momentum and the opening of the offense continues on into PetCo.

knocking a hot bat, simply pointing out that he's not hot just making his one hit count.... Hot is going 3-5 with a single, double, HR and 3 RBI

You think this is firing on all cylidars ???

Giles .275
Roberts .253
Greene .213
Castilla .261
Piazza .222
Cameron .244

I sure as hell don't..........These guys should be around
Giles .300
Roberts .280
Greene .280
Castilla .270
Piazza .280
Cameron .300 ( due to fewer AB's )

IMO

is that starting from the last home game against LA or all season? Because I was refering to the current winning streak, not all season.

If it is just durring the winning streak then perhaps I stand corrected.

[padrefanforever]

at the end of the year these BA might be down further than what I just posted, but they should all still have the beginning of the year inflation to them.........we're not firing on all cylidars, and it's just crazy to me that someone could actually think that..... We've won 5 in a row, that's great for us, but be realistic about how we won those games would ya.........We can't live and die by the HR.......this team isn't even close to that good......we need to manufacture runs and they are NOT doing that.....IMO

[DirtyKash]

Piazza .280??? lol ... .250 for Piazza is about as much as you can hope for. His bat speed is sloooooow.

Roberts more like .260

[HollywoodLeo]

and, quite frankly, i'd be astonished to think that you'd think I'd actually suggest they've been "hitting on all cylindars" all year long...

[padrefanforever]

I'm talking about the season.........if you have the stats for the streak please post them........I don't think other than Barfield that anyone is on fire.....

[padrefanforever]

Hell they aren't even doing it now.........that's what I'm saying
