Ready to get the **** out of San Diego. Until next year, at least, when fans are allowed in the stands and wouldn't mind making a trip out of it.

At least we start a series against the Angels tomorrow
Unfortunately still banged up. I wish we had guys back to aim for 3-1 but I will be happy with 2-2 at this point, especially with no Greinke in the series.

It's an awesome stadium, and the weather is never bad. Contemplating moving back there now.

Man that was a depressing series. Hopefully they get right in this next one.

I'm considering SD or San Fran for a road trip next year. Depends on if the scandal stuff dies down a bit by then.

that's why you don't rest players.

the most winnable game was the first one...in the first inning

The Padres were super hot and playing at home. They capitalized on all their opportunities. We didn't.

Suck it up. Come home and start a new win streak.

There's a new mlb network article out about needing to win this year. Yankees lead the list, and it discusses their last three exits. For last year it talks about how Altuve walked it off, then says most of the team feels he knew what pitch was coming. For the Astros segment it said they need to win it all so people think they're legitimate. Such bs.

But you know if we won it everyone would say it was short season and not legit.

With 27 games under the belt, this would have been the 1/6th mark of a typical regular season. Being a stat guy, I can't help but do a few projections. Tucker is on pace for 108 RBI in a normal season and Machete 102.

I'm not sure an Astro catcher has ever reached 75 RBi in a season, let alone 100. I think Mitch Melusky had 69 in 2000, anyone remember a backstop with more for us?

The Padres are a little past 1/6th with 29 games played. In a normal season, Tatis would be on pace for 67 HR, 162 RBI, and 34 SB.
John Bateman had 70 RBI in 1966. Not 100% sure, but I think that's the team record for catchers.

Fortunately we blew through the GAF what everyone says stop sign a long time ago.

If you've never been, you should definitely go. Outside of the classics (Fenway, Wrigley, etc) it's my favorite park.

Will be interesting to see if he can get to 300 OPS+ and 301 wRC+ after 300 ABs.

I'm not sure that's how it works, but yes. He probably will.

I think this is huge this year - playing at home. I haven't looked up the splits but it definitely feels like we've played better at MMP. Being on the road and stuck in a hotel doesn't seem like the most comfortable thing.

Nice, bring a guy with weight issues to Houston so he can feast on all the delicious Mexican food.
