2016 Padres season commentary thread

[HollywoodLeo]

I'm just sitting here wondering what's going to happen first: Sane political discussions on the internet, Prov bringing back TSSL, Mach calling up his MLB ready prospects in MSL, or the Padres score a run in 2016.

[BuckFoston]

San Diego's 27 innings without scoring a run to start the season is a record, but the good news is that the two teams with the previous longest scoreless droughts went on to have a winning record that year.

- ESPN.

Maybe there is some hope, Leo.

Loney Power comes to Petco Park.

[HollywoodLeo]

Can't be any worse than what's been on display so far.

[HollywoodLeo]

If Bartolo Colon can hit a home run at PetCo then the walls aren't the problem.

Padres say... Cubs who?

[HollywoodLeo]

That Drew Pomeranz pickup is looking like a good one.

They're probably just trying to show false hope and then lose 4 games again, though

[HollywoodLeo]

15-20, last place, 2.5 games back of 1st though

Loney Power comes to Petco Park.

Loney Power goes to New York

It's adorable reading fans of other teams talk themselves into Loney.

Career Stats for James Loney:
with RISP - .303 / .377 / .432
against LHPs - .254 / .302 / .351
against RHPs - .296 / .351 / .432
Lifetime BA - .285
HRs - 99
Regarded by everyone as a good fielder.

Traded for some guy named "Cash," and is an instant & vast improvement over Soup, all the more so if Duda's return is delayed or if Duda returns on time but his season ends up not amounting to much - not that it was that much so far this year. Loney no doubt wants to see no more of AAA, where he was hitting extremely well, and he probably comes very motivated. Could be a pleasant surprise, and a surprise coming at very little cost. This may signal the end for Soup.

Dang... Padres Chairman doesn't like J.Shields too much right now.

[schisno]

$21 Million this season, then $21 million - $21 million - $16 million to go. He's great to have on the team.

Dang... Padres Chairman doesn't like J.Shields too much right now.

He doesn't like the state of the team. He singled out Shields as part of the rant.

[realmofotalk]

San Diego just lost a game in which they were leading by 10.

Same old Chargers.

[dgfred]

The positional player they brought in for that earlier game (Betancourt?) could throw 93-95 with ease... he just couldn't throw it below chest high.
