Why does Kevin Correia’s windup put him in such horrible fielding position? He lands [...]

I was thinking about the bullpen a while back and got to wondering a few things:
How have Padres relievers performed this year as compared to the starters?
How does this compare with league average?
How does this compare with recent Padres teams?

Yeah, it’s Friday, but we’ve got something way cooler than links. We’ve got Jim McLennan, of AZ Snakepit fame, with us, and he’s going to give us the dirt on this year’s Diamondbacks.
Ducksnorts: I picked Arizona to win the NL West in 2007 on the strength of its good young position players. The team took [...]
Aggravating. Annoying. Bilious. Discouraging. Disheartening. Dispiriting. Exasperating. Frustrating. Infuriating. Irritating.
But enough about me, let’s talk about the game. [rim shot]
I finally saw the team that everyone else seems to think the Padres are, the one that should be grateful to the Giants for granting them a spot in fourth place. The Padres have more talent [...]
Reminder to folks here in San Diego: I’ll be on “SportsWrap” this Sunday evening at 11:35 p.m. PT. Tune to NBC 7/39 for your chance to see a real-live baseball dork on television.
