#23@JMAR: It was a well hit ball. Thought it might have a chance off the bat.

#38@DM: I guess that I was wrong, looks like the team sucks at all aspects of the game.

Last Year (through July): 444 Runs scored
This year (present) 384 runs scored

I had thought that it seamed like the team was scoring more runs than usual but the numbers do not match my intuition.

Where do you guys get team stats broken down by time period. The MLB site sucks for this. I would still like to see if there is a post april difference. (looks like the 07 team had a really low scoring July)

This NC Times article has some more insights into the Wolf trade …

http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2008/07/23/sports/padres/zc4c7ae64ed0836c28825748f000d01ea.txt

… as well as status of future trade possibilities … which seem limited …

Here’s the part of the article that jump’d out at me …

Towers said teams have inquired about the availability of ace pitcher Jake Peavy, as well as shortstop Khalil Greene, third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff, reliever Heath Bell and Hoffman. Towers, though, said any moves involving those players probably wouldn’t happen until after the season.

… inquires about Hoffman???

#32@Pat: Right that is in some sense what I am saying. Whatever offensive suppression that occurs in petco in the past three years have effected our opponents more than us. My observation is that ,ignoring april (maybe may), it feels like we are scoring a fair number of runs. It is just that we are ALLOWING far more than we used to and it makes the offense look worse because we are losing a lot more. Although there are people who always said that the O sucks and they are just having an "I told you so" moment. This reminds me of the difference between the first half and the last half of last year. There were so many rumblings about the lack of offense when in reality it was the pitching that came down to earth a bit in the second half and it made the same number of runs look really, really bad.
