That opposing lineup is a lot better than what we saw from St. Louis, Colorado, and Milwaukee. Let's see if the pitching can step it up even more.

These 20+ pitch innings are statistically odd. Mahle and Castillo are the bottom two qualified starters in the league for P/IP at 17.5+. Miley is just ahead of them. Most of the rest of the staff is well over 18. Can't imagine it's a strategy? But how can every single pitcher be at the bottom of the league.

And with this bullpen that is a problem. Starters have been going deeper into games though. And it has helped tremendously .

That would have been a fireable offense if I was running The Padres. His entire job is to support and motivate his players.

Ironman's post was pretty overly critical, think mem just wants to stick up for our guy Hunter.

I’m sorry. My opinion will remain tha if he pitches 4 innings with 12 strikeouts and 0 walks but gives up 4 HR….I’m not getting excited about that. I want him up here and getting it done ASAP. Can’t wait until he gets the call.

“Greene has 8 k and jus 1 walk and is pumping in strikes pretty good! He even hit 104 mph!! Unfortunately on the negative in he has given up 4 HR so he’s not there yet but man it’s exciting watching him develop.”

There isn’t a way in the world to make 4 HR a positive to me. None, not apologizing for that. That park average 18 HR a game? It’s a flyer park and an easy HR. HR happen to everyone but there isn’t a pitcher alive excited about 4 HR in 4 innings.

Greene obviously needs better command of off speed stuff or he’d be lighting it up in the bigs. Until he gets better command and better off speed hitters in AAA and the bigs will get theirs off him more than we expect….which leads to the Mazzone comment of “you can time out a jet airplane if you see it enough”

membengal….my apologies for not seeing an apparent earlier post about the field and situation….I was tryin to make sure you actually meant that Greene gave up 4 HR…thought I was reading it wrong….so I asked for clarification….you snapped back a bit and I was genuinely asking as I didn’t know. My phone on this site gets its battery zapped badly and I can’t stay on here long and read through everything or battery will go from 65% to 40% like that…..yeah I need a new phone but this is only site I have that issue with.

Until he gets better command and better off speed hitters in AAA and the bigs will get theirs off him more than we expect….which leads to the Mazzone comment of “you can time out a jet airplane if you see it enough”

membengal….my apologies for not seeing an apparent earlier post about the field and situation….I was tryin to make sure you actually meant that Greene gave up 4 HR…thought I was reading it wrong….so I asked for clarification….you snapped back a bit and I was genuinely asking as I didn’t know. My phone on this site gets its battery zapped badly and I can’t stay on here long and read through everything or battery will go from 65% to 40% like that…..yeah I need a new phone but this is only site I have that issue with.

I hope we are good.

fair enough. My apologies for snapping. I think Greene gets WAY too much crap from some posters on here for reasons that are weird - shouldn't have lumped you in with them. I don't think people generally understand what a crazy weird hitters park he was making his debut in.

So, on Hunter Greene, are they hitting fastballs for homers, because they are discounting his off-speed and the fastballs are straight like Garret's. Or because he is trying to use his off-speed, but hanging too many for the hitters to powder?

I don’t get how the big looping 82 mph breaking pitch is so effective. But the I’m not an MLB hitter.

Has more drop from 12-6 than most by just watching ….in old days they’d scoot up a few inches in the box

Barnhart! I'd bat Stephenson and Aquino and let the cards fall where they may

Great AB by Tucker. Not so great baserunning, but got lucky with a bad throw.

Man Barnhart is not giving up that starting catching spot easy.

Just great work all around tonight, and this season overall from him.
