The Padres hitting just looks really pathetic. Pitching has carried them this far, but it can’t carry them forever. Bruce Bochy keeps messing with the line up, especially the outfield. I know that’s always been his style, but he needs to let some guys get untracked. This is the line up he should play for at least the next 14 games: Jimenez, 2B; Kotsay, CF; Nevin, 1B; Klesko, RF; Trammell, LF; Burroughs, 3B; Vazquez, SS; Lampkin, C.
Billie and I went to the Dodger/Padres game tonight and it wasn’t an entirely wasted trip. Even though the Padres fell to the hated Dodgers 5-2, we did get to see Sean Burroughs hit his first Major League home run.
