The Padres were the first team ever to fail to score in their first three games.

Even worse, they were at home.

Padres players just can't hit in that ballpark. - groiny Apr 7, 07:14 6
- The Dodgers didn't seem to have a problem scoring runs. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 7, 07:17 2
  - Not only that but Maeda there pitcher went yard in his first game. -- nm - eag Apr 7, 07:22
  - well, they quadruple the Padres payroll, so they should be 4 times better than them. -- nm - groiny Apr 7, 07:18
- Power #'s for sure, but that just means more room in the outfield to put the ball - Will Hunting Apr 7, 07:16 2
  - tell me one good offensive season from a Padres player in the last 5 seasons..... - groiny Apr 7, 07:18 1
    - Well, let's not overlook the reality the Padres haven't been good for 5 years. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 07:37
Yeesh. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 07:09 13
- They actually did score yesterday but the call was blown on the field and was upheld incorrectly. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 7, 07:11 12
  - That's the second blown call I know of that was upheld incorrectly in the first week. I expect better when they can review the calls. -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 7, 07:16 10
    - They didn't call interference on Correa becuase he didn't interfere with the throw. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 07:18 9
      - He was running out of the base line and blocking the throw. I agree that the Betances should have just hit him in the back with the ball. - Krusty Apr 7, 07:21 1
        
        I agree with krusty here, the rule needs tweaking. -- nm - groiny Apr 7, 07:22
      - yeah, that is an oversight on the rule, you do not generally try to not throw to the fielder. - groiny Apr 7, 07:19 6
        
        I think it was Seaver who's said he wished a runner would do that so he could fire a strike in his back. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 07:20 5
        
        I'll agree with that. The rule needs to change if the umps aren't allowed call that interference. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 07:22
        
        oh, middle infielders are tought to throw into the runners in those cases - groiny Apr 7, 07:21 3
        
        Yup. I was told to hit the runner if he didn't move. It never happened though. They always moved. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 07:23 2
        
        no one wants to take a fastball to the face. - groiny Apr 7, 07:24 1
        
        Right on both counts. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 07:37
  - Yay progress!!!! - groiny Apr 7, 07:14
