Rule #1: Never get your hopes up about ANYTHING as a San Diego sports fan.

I am shocked that after 23 games that a team with this much talent and very few injuries has a losing record. I'm guessing it won't take many more losses before people start calling for Black to be fired.

Black does need to light a fire under this squad or he should be fired.

I'm beginning to think Preller got snookered by the Braves for Kimbrel. Damaged goods.

How so? He's throwing 96/97 mph.

[Lightningwill_420]

Yea, Pads. Back over .500.

[Lightningwill_420]

So we have a few guys batting over .300, yet our #2 hitter today is batting .240. Why? I don't get it.

We have played some of MLB's best teams (minus SF)... its been a tough battle thus far!

.240 is our best option w/Solarte playing 3B.

.240 is our best option w/Solarte playing 3B.

I don't get how that has anything to do with anything. Our .240 hitter is up to .250 now. Both pitchers getting worked. Both managers leaving their pitchers in. I don't understand what happened to this sport.

Whats not to get? Why do you keep saying (over and over) that the game has changed so much. What else would you like BB to do in the 2 hole? Amarista and Gyroko are not better 2 hole options. Solarte, Norris, Upton, Kemp and Alonso are middle lineup RBI guys.

I have no issue w/Spange hitting in the 2 hole. He knows his roll and can pick it at 2B as well.

On the pitching.... to save your bullpen, you try to get your starter as deep as possible. No issue w/BB and his handling of our staff today.

If somebody is hitting over .300 and another guy is hitting .240, I put the guy with the better average near the top of the order and the other dude towards the bottom.

I keep bringing it up because I don't like it.
