Sometimes it really sucks to be a San Diego sports fan. We try to convince everyone that our teams aren’t soft, and then they go out and prove us wrong. The Chargers didn’t even show up on Sunday. How can a team with that kind of talent play such an undisciplined and sloppy game? This [...]

NLDS: Padres – Cardinals Series Preview, Position Players
Okay, this took a little longer than I’d anticipated. Having first examined the pitchers, we now turn our attention to the position players. Catcher There are two huge positional mismatches in this series, and catcher is the first. Padres catchers led the NL with 31 homers and were second to the Atlanta Braves with 107 [...]

First-Half Grades: Catcher
It’s like pitching a tent in your backyard, only not quite as much fun. S’mores, anyone? With the exception of a few at-bats wasted on the useless Doug Mirabelli, catcher has been an unbelievably strong position for the Padres. And, as with the bullpen, the guys who are getting the job done have been acquired [...]
