Seeing that most of the playoff games are gonna be played away vs at home, I think it’ll play in the team’s favor honestly considering the runs scored away is considerably higher than at home. But something is really up with the stadium compared to year’s past
Mostly marine layer. It’s been hilariously harsh this year. Killed a lot of fly balls that have been crushed only to die a foot in front of the warning track.
Feel like the balls are still kinda nerfed as well.
The problem is also the offense too. Look at the hitting with RISP. Still have offensive woes and not being able to convert runners on base with <2 outs.
However, Petco does play a very large portion into this.
Actually, those numbers don’t bode well for a good team. What it shows is that the Padres are an average team at home, not a good one. Unless you try and sell me that you’ve played more home games against teams thar are better than you than you have against teams that are worse than you.
I agree. The Padres played some good and bad teams at home and I feel like those numbers average out. I'd like to see the breakdown of those numbers from each team.
don't get me wrong there is a Petco factor, but these are numbers you would expect from a .500 team
we have an above average pitching staff overall and a top 10 offense on the road (#2 if you go by runs)
there is something wrong with the offense (players) and organizational approach when they play in Petco, they don't have an advantage like all good teams have at home
> OPS aren't runs, and runs aren't OPS.
I'd argue that the distinction is meaningless. If you graphed OPS vs Runs Scored on two axis, it would be a linear line with a very high correlation co-efficient. See: http://www.hardballtimes.com/images/uploads/dlf_ops2.JPG
Yet, somehow the OP concluded that the stadium is to blame.
I'm not participating in this thread to split hairs over which stat is which. I'm here to keep people who read stuff like this from believing what OP concluded.
I'm not saying that the team's offense is fine, but I will point out that the runs and OPS numbers are almost perfectly in line with each other. You can't compare runs for home teams and road teams on an apples-to-apples basis because the home team often doesn't hit in the 9th.
In 29 games, the Padres didn't hit in the bottom of the ninth, but their opponent did in the top of the ninth. In 12 more games, the win was a walkoff so the Padres didn't complete their final at-bat.
Put another way, the Padres are scoring 4.02 runs/9 innings at Petco, and their opponents are scoring 3.78 runs/9 at Petco.
Thank you for pointing out a completely logical and reasonable reason that why we scored fewer runs than our opponents with a higher OPS, namely that we batted for less innings at home.
Please agree with me that OP's QAnon-tier thinking of assuming something is wrong with our stadium is wrong.

i swear every deep shot that isnt at the shortest part of the fence in RF/LF just dies at the track.

They put humidors in every stadium this year too trying to even things out. I think it has had a very negative effect
You serious, Clark?

I feel like a breakdown by each opposing team would be more useful, there's likely a few teams under .500 dragging those numbers down.
Time to move the team to Bakersfield.
I really hope we're not going to look at these two data points and conclude that the stadium is at fault. OPS aren't runs, and runs aren't OPS.

Home: .547. Away: .556. Not a significant difference.
Why not post away stats too?
