IVIE 2009: Starting Pitchers

March 16, 2009 – 5:53 am

I hope you had an excellent weekend. I finally saw Stephen Strasburg pitch on Friday and was not disappointed. Then I watched Team Mexico and Team Korea work out at Petco Park on Saturday in preparation for their WBC games here this week. If you don’t mind dropping $50 for a $19 seat, you might [...]

Friday Links (12 Sep 08)

Seriously, though, it’s cool to see a bunch of these kids that I watched at Elsinore come up here [...]

Padres Farm Report: Spotlight on Portland

August 28, 2008 – 7:43 am

Portland Beavers in a Box:
Record: 69-70
Runs Scored: 695
Runs Allowed: 764
BA/OBP/SLG: .265/.350/.431 (Pacific Coast League: .277/.347/.443)
ERA: 5.04 (PCL: 4.84)
DER: .632 (PCL: .637)
Source: Baseball-Reference.
This may be the weakest minor-league team in the Padres organization. In a league that emphasizes scoring, the Beavers’ offense is a little below average, while their pitching and defense are considerably worse.
The roster [...]

One Less Reason

August 20, 2008 – 7:14 am

As you are no doubt aware by now, the Padres have traded Greg Maddux to the Dodgers for two minor-league players to be named later or cash. According to Tom Krasovic at the U-T, “By Oct. 15, the Padres will choose two Dodgers minor leaguers from a list of five already agreed upon by the [...]

Padres Farm Report (15 May 08)

May 15, 2008 – 12:43 am

Triple-A

Starting pitching has been [...]

Padres Farm Report (18 Apr 08)

April 18, 2008 – 2:30 am

Before we get to the farm report, that was an epic game on Thursday night/Friday morning. Stinks that the Padres came out on the losing end, but how fun is 22 innings? I’m not going to recap it, but if you want some sense of how it played out, read the IGD. Folks delivered big [...]
