Numbers That Help Explain the Padres' Offensive Struggles

The Padres slumped again at the plate in their series loss to Milwaukee - but what's at the root of their offensive inconsistency? Derek and Darnay look at some stats and trends, including spots in the lineup that aren't producing (1:06). How bad have their leadoff guys been? Real bad (13:08). They look at a few scoring splits that stand out (15:32), and take a stab at Luke Voit and Jake Cronenworth's slow starts (26:11). To swing or not to swing at the first pitch? Swing (31:47). The guys then turn their attention to pitching, including optimism for the bullpen (42:02), and Blake Snell (49:47). And in the words of Manny Machado: Pay That Man (55:29).
