Twenty-One Games
Games! Data! La Forge! To celebrate the fact that the season is now 13 percent complete, here are 13 items of potential interest (stats are through April 22): The difference between the top of the order and the heart has been staggering. Guys in the first two slots have hit .297/.333/.436 (these numbers were even better when I started writing this), while 3 through 6 are at .194/.257/.291 (lowest OPS in baseball, nearly 70 points worse than the Houston Astros). That isn’t the best way to score runs. In an April 17 game at Petco Park, Colorado’s Troy Tulowitzki drew three walks, ......

Thoughts on the Jedd Gyorko Extension
Often as fans of a team, we end up (consciously or not) viewing the financial side of baseball from the owners’ perspective. We worry about how much our favorite team – the Padres of San Diego in this case – spends on its players, not because it’s our money on the line or because we’re worried about our team’s owners’ upcoming yacht payments, but because we want our team to spend its available dollars as efficiently as possible. In the end, after all things even out, efficient spending should correlate to more wins. And we as fans are generally in ... Read the full post

Chase Headley is the Problem
There’s no denying it anymore. I’ve tried for so long, living in denial. I’ve tried convincing myself that Chase Headley was a very good player. I was lost in the fantasy of wanting him to become someone he never had the talent of being. Alas, the first 19 games of the season have finally convinced me that the Headley naysayers are right. Chase Headley is the problem. He’s been the problem ever since he arrived in San Diego. Yes, he alone is responsible for the many, many years of mediocrity us fans have had to endure. Not cheap ownerships who decided ... Read the full post

Posey powers Giants past Padres
Before Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres, Giants manager Bruce Bochy sat hunched over his desk, intently studying a piece of paper with four screenshots of Buster Posey's swing from various seasons. Bochy was looking for some sign of trouble in his slumping star's mechanics but couldn't find a glaring issue.
