No, I am not talking about player days on the DL or lowest batting average or runs scored. They do lead the league in all those categories.
The disgusting stat the Padres are leading the league in is, drum roll please –
Strike outs looking with men on base.
Can you say I really don’t care any clearer?

Why was Correia batting with a man on base & 2 outs in the 6th inning of a tie game?

The pitcher batting in a crucial situation in a tie game with the fastest man on the team on base? When a single scores a run?
Do the Padres have that little faith in their pinch hitters?
Do they have that much faith in Correia, a guy with a 5 ERA, to shut down the Reds until the Padres get another base runner?
Are the Padres really trying to win games?
Or is Black just trying to get the pitcher 6 innings again?
Result - Correia strikes out looking and now the Padres go into the bottom half of the inning having blown an opportunity to score a go ahead run.
