I’ve given this at least 10 seconds of thought and I have a few half-baked observations based on extremely small sample sizes:

  • The bullpen is working a lot harder away from Petco Park.
  • Peavy is a stud no matter where he pitches.
  • CY has done a surprisingly good job of keeping the ball in the park, both home and away.
  • Boomer’s splits are Hitchcock ’98 scary; what’s up with that road walk rate?

Just something to ponder while we enjoy the game…

  11. #100 John and Becky Moores are sitting on the field instead of in the owner’s suit for tonight’s game.

  12. I just flipped to ESPN hoping that we might get a live look at the first ever save #500. No love.

  13. They are now doing a live retrospect of his Padre career on the big screen.

  14. and mlb.com cuts away in the middle of it… off to ESPN.

    Great game, GL Padre fans!

  15. Matty said that last night’s post game show got higher ratings than the news. Probably be even more so tonight.

  16. People watch the news in San Diego?

  17. Trevor is having a press conference right now.

  18. Dude,

    I just got caught up. Seems I missed a very unusual game. Unusual in that Geoff Blum single handedly powered us to victory, though the “job in jeopardy” reference
    by Turbine.

    Thanks for the splits, Geoff! Nice analysis.
