I know it's early, but the Padres' offense is killing me right now. Latos threw two bad pitches all night. Outside of a good first inning start, Volquez shut them the fuck down. I saw Headley's OBP was ridiculously high going into last night. I'd say they need to put him in the 3 hole. Hudson is the only one in the top 3 getting on base. You can't expect the middle of the order to drive guys in when your leadoff hitter is hitting .179 and getting on base 25% of the time, you're going to have trouble scoring runs. I do not like Venable leading off, damnit.
In a good note, Mat Latos looked sharp last night, sans a rough 5th inning. 7 k's in your first outing against that Reds lineup is nothing to be ashamed of.
