It's easy to convince yourself that you're right when you blow off facts presented to you.
The numbers don't lie.
Adrian Gonzalez would hit 40+ HRs if he didn't play 81 games at PetCo.

And the doubles thing doesn't make much sense.
PetCo isn't a pitcher's haven because of size, there's bigger outfields in the majors.
It's a pitcher's haven because the marine layer kills fly balls.
This serves two purposes.
Kills potential HRs, and leaves the ball in the air long enough for OFers to track them.
I agree that our offense sucks, and this only serves to make the numbers that much worse, but the park is a pitchers park, and the Cardinals having a good game doesn't negate this fact.

But, this is a futile effort on my part, because I know the second the Padres actually start devloping/acquiring players capable of hitting home runs you're going to come in here and say "I told you so" even despite the fact that I can almost guarantee their home/away splits will be similar to that of Adrian's and Khalil's.

I wont need to come "back" in to say this........I've been saying it for years
Our pathetic team personnel is the biggest reason that HR totals are not higher.......if you can't understand that very simple thing.....then it is futile.
The thing is, I've have been understanding it.
I've been saying repeatedly that it is a part of the problem.
Where are opinions differ is you want to pretend it's the only factor whereas I'm pointing out it's only part of the factor.
The Padres having a roster that'd struggle to hit HRs in Coors doesn't negate the fact that PetCo supresses home runs, it only makes the home run total by the home team that much worse.

But go figure that Adrian would hit a home run at PetCo in the middle of this debate.

Implication: The Cardinals hit 4 home runs in a game. This definitively proves that HRs can be hit in PetCo and therefore the only issue is that the Padres can't hit HRs, period.
Implication: If Cesar Izturis can hit a HR in PetCo anyone should be able to!
Don't play coy and play the "I never directly said that" card when you know what you were trying to imply here.
Nevermind, though. I don't even need to point out implications.

They on the TV broadcast were talking about that subject during that game......it was a topic......I was commenting on it.......sorry if you don't get the games and can't keep up or didn't follow......I forget that most of those left in here don't actually watch the games......
