Colorado Rockies @ San Diego Padres


Peavy_bobblehead_medium

I've got some breaking news about tonight's game.  I know you are all excited because the Miracle of Mobile is pitching, but your buddy jbox is a little bit clumsy and broke Jake Peavy's head off.  The miniature give away bobble head isn't as durable as one might expect.  This can only mean certain doom for our Padres.  It's an omen folks, the bad kind.  Not that there is necessarily a good kind of omen.

I'll just say it right now:  My Bad.

Bud Black has some line up changes tonight:

Tony Clark at first.
Justin Huber in left.
Scott Hairston in center.

Bud Black on the pre-game show

He’s throwing BP today.

He’s very happy with the starting pitching and defense.

Team hitting is okay. RISP is down. Run production and power are down.

Rotation changes via Bud Black

Maddux pitching tomorrow. Chris Young and Maddux are switching spots.

by jbox on Apr 17, 2008 4:16 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Reason

Maddux only threw 68 pitches on Sunday and Chris Young was having some stiffness and might be helped out by the day off.

Dude

use a piece of gum. It won’t fix the bobble, but his head will stay in place. C’mon it’ll work!

Callix Crabbe

As long as we’re going to see some bench players start, why not Callix? I want to see what he can do as a starter. I don’t have any stats to justify starting him or anything, I’d just like to see what he can do. And he has speed which would be nice on the basepaths.

Poor bobble Jake. I had the Peavy bobble with him in a race car, and his head broke off that one too.

I wanted the Pads to go after Schill this offseasonq

But I’m waaay happier with Wolf

And, I'm still waiting for Meredith or Bell to come in the seventh inning of April 4's game with the bases loaded, the score tied and Thatcher struggling.

he's been decent

the zone has just been a bit small. He’s been pretty consistent though in my opinion

No....

The zone was huge early on and midway through the game.

it’s gotten smaller in the later innings, which is usually a bad combination
