It's never fun to log in to check the game in the first and find your pitcher has already allowed a homer.

BTW
Just got back from PETCO. I swear, I always go to see the Padres when Peavy is pitching and it's no fun because the ball never gets out of the infield. I don't think I've ever been at a game he was pitching where more than five total runs were allowed.

3Ks in one inning?
that's more than Duke's K total for an entire month
by Bad Andy on Apr 5, 2008 7:27 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I think this will get to the point...
where Doumit is out there nearly every day, either at catcher or at a corner, just because there won't be any other way to generate offense. I'm afraid the last inning - groundout, groundout, strikeout - will be such a common occurrence that the team won't have any other choice.

You mean worse than...
Your #3 batter is hitting .167.
Your #4 batter is hitting .091, and doesn't have a hit this month.
Your middle infield is currently Luis Rivas & Chris Gomez.
Your best player in the minors is currently blocked by the aforementioned #4 hitter at 1st base & one of the best players on the team right now (at least in terms of his play) in the OF.
Your third baseman is just plain bad.
Your best catcher is in a platoon-role.
Only McLouth, Nady & Doumit have even been partially good.
Your starters can't go 6 innings... and give up hits & homers like no other.
Your bullpen (save for Yates, Grabow & maybe Capps) has been bad. Osoria has been alright, I guess, and haven't seen enough of Dumatrait.
Coming into today, you're leading K-guy was John Grabow, with 4.
Is it even possible to be worse than that?
