Padres Outlast Diamondbacks
Thanks to the three-day weekend, I’ve actually had some time to work on the site redesign. The template is looking pretty much the way I want but I’ve still got a ways to go in terms of converting all the documents. It’s my own damn fault, of course, because I insist on doing everything by [...]
Padres Split Doubleheader and a Look Around the Minors
Brett Jodie looked pretty good in his Padres debut. Working from a funky, straight-over-the-top delivery, he spotted fastballs in the 86-89 mph range and a couple of breaking pitches. He only allowed two hits in his five innings of work; unfortunately, they were solo homers to Danny Bautista and Luis Gonzalez, and his opposition on [...]
Mark Phillips, Lake Elsinore Storm Home/Road Splits
Mark Phillips watch: Phillips went 6-4-1-1-2-7 last night at home against San Jose. It’s only three starts, but that .145 OppBA sure is nice. Actually, over 68.1 IP across three levels this season, opponents are batting just .178 against Phillips. I gave some bad numbers last week for Storm home/road pitching splits. For some reason [...]
Elsinore Report and Other Stuff

Unfortunately, this meant we missed all the scoring by the home team. The Storm jumped on Lancaster starter Doug Slaten for three runs in the third, thanks to a Xavier Nady [...]
Trevor Hoffman Saves #300
Before I get to what I was planning for today, I’d just like to say congrats to Trevor Hoffman on notching his 300th save last night. Acquired from the Marlins for Gary Sheffield back in the 1993 Fire Sale, Hoffy has been one of the most consistent performers for the Pads since he’s been in [...]
Padres vs Diamondbacks, Oakland’s Big Three
General comments on last night’s Padres-Diamondbacks game Rickey drew three walks last night, to extend his big-league record to 2111. That’s 35.98 miles to geeks like me. There’s a lot he used to be able to do that he can’t anymore, at age 42, but the guy has a .363 OBP. Amazing. I’m destined to [...]
1999 Rule V Draft
Here are the results of the 1999 Rule V draft, along with analysis of the players selected during the major league phase of the draft and how they might fit into their new team’s plans. Ages are as of July 1, 2000. Bear in mind that many of these players will be returned to their [...]
Did Somebody Report a Fire Sale?
Before the 1999 season started, the popular conception among media types and, unfortunately, many San Diegans was that this year’s Padres would bear a strong resemblance to the Florida Marlins of the previous season and would go from the World Series to stinking up the league quicker than you could say, “Richie Garcia.” According to [...]
