#46@Turbine Dude: Sweet. Always appreciated.
#48@PM: See #30.
OT: GY, you still planning the Storm/Padre double header DS outing this year?
#52@Turbine Dude: I think they’re planning it for a weekday afternoon this year, so probably not.
As much as I hate the ‘wave’, everytime the Philli fans do it, our batters get a ball call.
The Pads have a mental stigma about having the bases loaded. They couldn’t turn a trick at the Trophy Lounge in National City.
#55@Turbine Dude:
No sex in the champagne room…
Oh wait, wrong blog.
I hate check swing calls where the bat passes through the zone and it’s still not called a swing. Mark Grant is dead on about that issue.
#53@Geoff Young: It’s a 2 for 1 day on Aug. 27th (Wed.).
Another great outing for Inman at San Antonio.
WTF? All of these strikes not called?
See, Edmonds CAN catch a fly ball. As long as it is hit right to him or has a 10 second hang time.
Can you see it coming?
#62@LynchMob: Yeah, I can. Unfortunatley.
0 for 5 for Jimmy Edmonds. He may be on his way out, huh?
In ten more days, Edmunds will be looking up at .100.
Personally, I let Heath Bell bat here and give him first crack at the 9th inning … but that’s must me …
#64@Richard Wade: I don’t think he’ll be involved in any group hugs anytime soon.
66 … *just* me …
#65@Field39: He’s already down to .153 with no power or walks.
So … it’s a coin flip?
#66@LynchMob: The J is right above the M.
I like to think Hoffy can keep them to one run or less this inning.
Where exactly did Ball 1 miss?
#73@Richard Wade: It didn’t matter, I guess.
That didn’t look like that bad of a pitch, but it caught too much plate for an 0-2 pitch.
That was a pretty pitch to even the count.
He made Dobbs look bad in that AB. Two swinging strikes at pitches out of the zone. One called strike on a pitch in the zone.
Can of corn to win the game.
For tonight, I was wrong … YES!
Game over. Padres win. Hoffy looked good.
Trevor is toast.
#81@Geoff Young: I wish he would retire gracefully and become the Padres pitching coach. Just my feelings.
Today’s your last chance to put a stake in the sand with respect to your expectations for Trevor for the month of May …

In this forum, there are currently 102 responses with 16% predicting Trevor to have >80% success in May vs 54% at 65-80% and 22% at 50-65% and 9% at 80% success versus 25% at 65-80%, 8% at 50-65%, and 11% at <50%.
I don’t think either poll has much significance … but perhaps when we meet up at Cooperstown for Trevor’s HOF induction, this will provide insights into the end-game part of Trevor’s MLB story.
Oops, the brackets in post #83 got interp’d as HTML … trying again …

In this forum, there are currently 102 responses with 16% predicting Trevor to have greater than 80% success in May vs 54% at 65-80% and 22% at 50-65% and 9% at less than 50% …
This is just a way to go “on record†… and to start to see if a group can/does have better insights than you do …
The way I’m looking at this is that this is giving me a forum to be clear about what I think Trevor’s status is … and a quick/clean way to know that I’m wrong should Trevor do what I truly hope he does!
Or if you don’t want to sign up for predictify.com (which is free and I’ve found interesting), here’s the same poll over at GLB …

And to me, it’s interesting to note that the 68 folks who have voted there so far (presumably Padre fans) are 54% predicting Trevor to have greater than 80% success versus 25% at 65-80%, 8% at 50-65%, and 11% at less than 50%.

ps. And clearly the “most done” Padre is Jim Edmonds, who trails Barry Zito for the title of “Most Done in MLB” …
#81@Geoff Young: But there’s still some sweet, sweet jam on that toast, bud … I gotta admit
#81@Geoff Young: What do you mean? Are you being serious?
#86@Kevin: Not even a little. He looked great.
#87@Geoff Young: Cool.
