EVEN THOUGH THE SAN DIEGO PADRES ARE BELOW .500 THEIR RUN DIFFERENTIAL IS THE 4TH BEST IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE…DOES THIS MEAN THEY ARE ABOUT TO GO ON A RUN?

HOW MANY GAMES BACK IN THE STANDINGS FROM FIRST PLACE IN THE DIVISION DO THE PADRES NEED TO BE BY THE ALL-STAR BREAK FOR THEM TO BE CONSIDERED BACK IN THE RACE?

JOSE IGLESIAS IS HITTING .317/.356/.537 WITH 4 HRS (ONLY HAS 11 CAREER MINOR LEAGUE HRS) IN EL PASO, BUT HE IS NOT ON THE 40 MAN ROSTER, IS HE WORTH MOVING SOMEONE OFF THE ROSTER TO BRING UP?

SAN DIEGO PADRES ARE 18-12 WHEN THEY JUST ATTEMPT A STOLEN BASE…WHEN THEY SUCCESSFULLY STEAL A BASE THEY ARE 16-9 AND WHEN THEY STEAL 2 OR MORE THEY ARE 11-3. DO THE PADRES NEED TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE ON THE BASEPATHS SINCE THEY ARE STEALING BASES AT AN 83% SUCCESS RATE?

PADRES GAMES ARE TELLING WHEN THE FIRST RUN IS SCORED…PADRES ARE 22-9 WHEN THEY SCORE FIRST, AND ARE 7-24 WHEN THEIR OPPONENT SCORES FIRST…IS THIS A PROBLEM FOR A PLAYOFF TEAM
