Chris Young is 1-4 with a 4.30 ERA in 10 starts since the All-Star break. Opponents are hitting just .161/.273/.294 against him during that stretch. Wait, do you smell something? I think it’s a disconnect.
Ian Snell, meanwhile, is giving a clinic on second-half [...]

Or even 162 battles. Go Padres!
Dude, what’s the name of that one taco shop we used to eat at on Convoy?
One game out of first with 13 remaining? I’d say that’s a good place to be. Just bullet points today:
Congrats to Jack Cassel on picking up his first big-league victory on Monday night. He scared the heck out of me [...]

You know what my favorite part of Walker, Texas Ranger is? Pretty much nothing…
August 10, 1969, San Diego: Pirates 7, Padres 5 (box score); Pirates 8, Padres 6 (box score)
When a team is playing poorly, nothing drives the point home quite like a doubleheader. The Padres on a Sunday afternoon played their first of four twinbills over a 16-day stretch. They would lose all eight contests.
In the first [...]
August 8, 1969, San Diego: Pirates 7, Padres 1 (box score)
Joe Niekro just didn’t have it in this one. He allowed a single, a walk, and a wild pitch in the first, but the Pirates didn’t score.
The next inning, Niekro wasn’t so lucky. Manny Sanguillen led off with an infield single. Freddie Patek doubled him [...]
July 27, 1969, Pittsburgh: Pirates 4, Padres 1 (box score)
Clay Kirby and Jim Bunning kept the game scoreless until the fourth. Then, in the bottom half of the inning, Roberto Clemente knocked a one-out single to center, advancing to second on an error by Ivan Murrell. One out later, with Manny Sanguillen at the plate, [...]
July 26, 1969, Pittsburgh: Pirates 4, Padres 3 (box score)
This was almost a brilliant comeback win for the Padres. Almost.
The Pirates drew first blood. In the first inning, they parlayed a double, balk, and groundout into a 1-0 lead against rookie (and former Pittsburgh farmhand) Dave Roberts. They extended it to 2-0 in the third [...]
