let's not corrupt this thread with this never ending debate.

So opponents have 23 HRs in PetCo this year. What do opponents have in all other NL Parks?

[padrefanforever]

Not intended to corrupt......but I do intend to keep track of Petco.....if you want to start a different thread, thats on you

[HollywoodLeo]

There, now we have a one stop catch all thread for everyone's "HRs at PetCo" needs

NLWest ballparks have given up this many HR's so far.....
Petco - 37
Dodgers_ 37
coors - 29
At&t - 35
Chase - 39
So Petco is tied for giving up the 2nd most HR's so far....

that said, I have noticed the numbers have been up thus far, based off simple observation

edit: anyone else see the irony in Coors being last?

[padrefanforever]

Yup.......and the fact that we have more talent here.....lol

Rockies have only played 17 home games though, compared to 22 for the Padres, 20 for the Dodgers, 21 for the Giants.

Good point......will make a difference for sure.......Rockies are also now keeping the game balls in a humador lol......so HR's should be down this year

[HollywoodLeo]

the Rockies should get a dome and pressurize it some.

The complaints about the ballpark were coming from 2 guys, 1 of them is no longer a Padre(Nevin) and Klesko was the other one.

The two guys that complained were the two you mentioned.......however the whole debate was about whether or not Petco is a pitchers only park, and I have maintained that it's not just a pitchers park, that it plays very fair, especially since opposing teams seems to be able to rake when playing there. I have said that it's a personell issue not a ballpark issue......I have said that we didn't have true power hitters, and that is why the HR's are down in Petco......I have said that the opposing teams have hit more than us in Petco........and I'm sure hollywood can tell you whatelse was said that's the crux of the whole debate.......from what I remember

[HollywoodLeo]

I have maintained that that we didn't have true power hitters and that there was a personal issue with some of the players, but that doesn't mean it's not a pitcher's park.

I have also never denied the obvious fact that oposing teams have more HRs than the Padres, but have maintained that that doesn't tell you anything about whether or not it's a pitcher's park, it only tells you that the Padres don't have home run hitters.

I have pointed out that opposing hitters have hit less HRs/AB at PetCo than opponents have in all but 2 other NL parks in 2004 and all but 1 NL park in 2005, and that that tells you more about how well a HR can be hit at a stadium than how many HRs opponents have as compared to the Padres in the same park.

I don't know what this year's figures look like.

[padrefanforever]

I don't either but I'm sure we'll figure it out

FYI.......time to update your tracker
