Looks like we're back to playing small ball. Whilst I love the big knock, fundamental baseball is ALWAYS appropriate- bunt 'em over, sac 'em in!

And the way we're hitting( or should I say NOT hitting?!) I'd happily watch, bunting, running, sacrificing, etc.

Our starters have been nails! Just get 1 run, and they'll hold the fort!

Go Pads!

Mets beat Dodgers. Padres 1 game back.

1 run or LESS in 8 out of 16 games and we're 1 game behind the bottomless goldmine to the north????

Unbelievable......

We've been winning despite our offense....not gonna keep happening esp. this month.

Not gonna get "lucky" and beat LA,Mil etc.

Gotta start hitting!

Bergert expected to be the SP for today's game against the Giants, so I hope our bats perk up since you just don't know what to expect from him at the major league level.  He's also projected by Fan Graphs to be the starter against Milwaukee next Sunday, however, that could change based on what happens today.  If he does well, that's great, if not the only quasi-SP that can be called up due to the 10 day minor league minimum assignment rule (unless there is an injury) is Omar Cruz.  Possibly could get Hart or Waldron called up to start if they consider King's injury to be qualifying.

Of course, in the interim we can hope for Darvish or King to b ready, but our options for that one start next Sunday look limited.

RHP Ryan Bergert recalled from El Paso
RHP Bradgley Rodriguez optioned to El Paso

I hope that Schildt keeps Bergert in longer than 2 or 3 innings if he is pitching well.

It's good to Sheets back in the lineup.

I came across this on youtube. This is wild. One horrible way shown to lose a game is when a Giants pitcher commited a balk allowing Caminiti to come in for 3rd to a score the winning run for the Padres.

Just when I thought the Padres were going to lose, they came back and win it in extras for the second night in a row to push the Giants 3 games back. They also beat the Giants with their two toughest SP on the mound for the first two games. The Padres are 4-0 against the Giants this season.

Bergert was good tonight and the BP was solid. Manny goes 4 for 4 and 2 RBI.

The Padres cannot leave this series worse than a split and the chance of winning 3 games has increased.

Pivetta will be on the mound for game 3.

GO PADRES!
