For the Padres outfield to have 4 guys with OPS % less than .750 is inexcusable. We are giving away games that are winnable in a division were the 1st place team may only win 85 games. It's frustrating.

#27@Phantom: Bullpen has been subpar yes but to this point, but I expect it to improve and it actually already has. The Padres offense has been as been the true disappointment.

Great analysis Geoff. Exact reality.

#26@JP: Without a doubt, Wolf has been one of the best pickups of the off-season (in all of baseball). A smart, low-priced acquisition who has pitched pretty damn well for us. I'm amazed at how good our starting pitching has been and yet our record is still where it is. The bullpen implosion that occurred in April really stunned the team, I think.

It’s safe to say that so far Randy Wolf has been an asset. Doesn’t mean the pop gun Padres win when he goes out and pitches well.

Sunday marked the seventh time this season Wolf has taken the loss or received no-decision in a game in which he allowed two or fewer runs over six innings.

Wolf has allowed two or fewer runs over at least six innings in seven of his 12 starts.

#24@JMAR: Agreed. I was a little gun-shy on Baek when we got him because everyone kept saying that the numbers weren't indicative of his true talent (an argument that always scares me). In Baek's case, though, he seemed to completely out-maneuver the batters he faced on Friday night. How much of that is the Giants line-up and the fact that it was just a brief relief outing remains to be seen. Regardless, he seemed to have hitters completely off-balance and is a guy that would probably get a lot of balls in play on half-swings.

#23@Anthony: When you hear about guys that were acquired after being DFA'd, you figure they either throw really hard with little command (Sean Henn) or throw 86-88 mph with good control (Germano). I figured that was the case with Banks, Baek, and even in the case of Bryan Corey, but each throw in the low 90's with excellent command of the strike zone. I guess we'll know a little more about Baek after tonight.

#20@Phantom: I'm already more excited about Baek and Banks than I was about Germano when he was on his run last year. Unlike Germano, these guys can strike people out at a decent rate and Banks has always had great K:BB ratios.
