42. In the article linked at the top, Chris Long said that Greene’s approach to hitting explaines his dramatic home away splits, but Giles is essentially the Anti Greene and as you pointed out, Petco destroys him as well.

I do not believe it matters what the fans perception is. So long as the Padres find a way to use Petco, in order to gain competetive advantage.

39: That tirade is so far off the charts, as to grant Costats official Bitter old man status.

#42: The subtleties were these: “I donâ€™t believe our bullpen is way overrated, for example. And certain aspects of our offense are way underrated.” IOW, it’s not our entire pitching staff that is overrated, nor is it our entire offensive game that is underrated.

Just looking at the top 10 batters for the Padres last season, it’s amazing that they scored as much as they did at home. Greene, both Giles’, Bard, Cameron and Sledge were all horrendous at home. All but Blum were much better on the road (Kouz was about as close to even for a starter 92 vs. 119 OPS+).
