Adrian is in 2nd in the NL in RBIs

That's astonishing, all things considered.

Yup he's only 2 off pace between splits, meaning if he had 2 more home HR's he'd be pretty darn even......not exactly a landslide

That's 10 extra times he has to come to the plate before he hits his next home run at home.

And this is after hitting two in the past two games.

And if you want to emphesize sample size, even if he were even this year 2006 and 2007 are still a much larger, and thus more telling sample.

What I'm saying is that if right now.....today he had two more HOME HR's......he'd pretty much be even splits......it's only a diff of two I think

[HollywoodLeo]

And if he had 10 more home HRs he'd be making PetCo look like a bandbox.

But that's not the case either.

OWNAGE

Good luck with Volquez

Apparently Adam Dunn doesn't need the fences in.

[padrefanforever]

LOL......no shit......Move the fences up and back and Dunn's ball is still damn near in the send tier of seats........has any Padre EVER hit a ball that far to RF ?

Point was simple......it's not a huge diff......but go ahead......move the fences in when they don't need to be and watch the opposition hit even more HR's and watch us lose by even bigger scores.......makes perfect sense.......in a backwards world

[HollywoodLeo]

Somebody hitting the ball so far that it'd be out even if the fences were 20 feet back further than they are says nothing about whether or not it's harder to hit a HR in PetCo than other places.

But I'll never expect you to grasp that concept.

I like how you like to pretend that I'm not watching the same games you are.

No matter how many times you like to pretend like every HR that is hit there somehow definitively proves that it's just as easy as any other place it will not negate the facts.

I have never, in my entire 20+ years of watching baseball, seen so many balls come off the bat (both from the Padres and the opposition) that I was certain was a home run, only to watch it die at the track.

Albert Puljos crushing a ball that would have been out going dead center in Polo Grounds does not erase these memories.

[padrefanforever]

Sounds like you need to develop a better eye for the ball off the bat to me.
