PrintSan Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks, Apr 19, 2008 5:10 PM PDT
Early game, Chris Young pitches tonight at 5:10. Interestingly enough Young hasn't seen 5'10" since he was in kindergarten.
As you probably already know Maddux and Young switched spots in the rotation. Apparently CY had some stiffness in his arm and problems with his delivery. Young and pitching coach Darren Balsley were working on his mechanics between starts. He apparently threw a side session on Wednesday.
Josh Bard will be back in the line up and behind the dish. Colt Morton will be on the pine.
Yay Padres!

I never thought it was possible for Byrnes to be any more Jeff Kent-like. I guess I was wrong.

Can people stop
calling Jim Edmonds “Gold Glover Jim Edmonds” already? If you have to say it, at least call him “Former Gold Glover But Now The Opposite Of That Jim Edmonds”.

nothing like the old swinging bunt
i wonder if you could cheat and get the same effect by smearing a little bit of vaseline on the bat… if somebody spotted the vaseline, you could blame the pitcher for throwing spitters.

Weirdest wild pitch
EVER….
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
It's like he was aiming at the camera
Good shot, if that’s the case
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Schilling does it with the bat.
Chris Young does it with the ball.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Nice throw by CY…

Well, I can just tell you this
When I was in hs, I got into a bunch of schools – couple of Ivys, ND, SC, UofA, etc – then I made a really stupid decision to go to a small SoCal D-III to play hoops – and it was a big mistake for a lot of reasons. At the time, I felt really stupid and ending up at UCI always felt sorta weird to me. But my life would be totally different if I’d gone the original route – and I like my life now:)

duh, it is Saturday
Was he in Atlanta calling the Dodgers game? I doubt it… where were the Cubs today?
He was in studio

Yeah
Weekends, he always does Fox national stuff.

Grace was on last night. I don’t mind Garagiola – reminds me of when I was a kid – but Suton is just awful.

How is
TC doing this year, by the way?
We miss him—not necessarily on the field and in the batter’s box, but on the team.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Better than some,
worse than others. I’m glad we’ve got him; I agree that he seems like a great guy to have in the clubhouse from all accounts.

Yah
Sure seems like he’ll hit a lot fewer HRs at PetCo than Chase. Not to mention that he’s a step older. He’s GREAT in the clubhouse, though… he’s like having another manager.

He's definitely CY's

Ah yeah?
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Hmmm....
I never noticed that, but it could be because he killed just about EVERY team, last year and in 05….
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Yep
just rewound Steve Quis said “Upton takes a turd at third”. Presumably he was trying to say “turn”.
He's very young.
I would assume he’s potty trained, but… well, dunno for sure.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
He still gets distracted by the giant sandbox at Petco
but he is going to be a hell of a ballplayer.

::crossing fingers::
Of course, there’s probably NO WAY we’ll be able to afford to keep him…..
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
It comes down to loyalty.
Hopefully (for your sake- definitely not ours) he likes the organization and the management enough to take a pay cut if it comes down to money.

Give up money

Either way, kid is gonna be a MONSTER.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Ha
CBY. This will help us avoid a lot of future confusion. CBY is on my fantasy team- talk about a conflict of interest.
We've all experienced those delirious moments where one thing leads to another and you find yourself at the end of the night messing around with sheep. It's something we all have in common. -jbox
Well
since his middle name is Brandon, CBY is actually correct…. but since we both refer to the other CY as “Evil CY” and our CY as “Good CY”, when there’s ambiguity, it’s easier to just call ‘em Chris Black Young and Chris White Young.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
We do the same with "evil CY" and "good CY"
so it remains ambiguous. I prefer CBY and CWY anyways ha.
We've all experienced those delirious moments where one thing leads to another and you find yourself at the end of the night messing around with sheep. It's something we all have in common. -jbox
That's my point.
It could cause confusion, unlike CBY and CWY.

Our bullpen makes me sick. We will not break .500 again this season if our outfield and our bullpen continue to suck.

Seriously
This is completely how I remember it. I almost didn’t know how to be when we succeeded (mostly) these last (few) years.
Really
I think we need to clear a roster spot (whether it be McAnulty or Edmonds) for Chase and bring him up ASAP. I don’t think he has a whole lot left to prove in the minor leagues and the lineup needs some power.
We need young guys in the clubhouse who are hungry for a shot at the big time to push the veterans. I hate the Diamondbacks- but they play like they have something to prove every night, and I think that is one of the biggest compliments you can give a team.

Thats what happens
when you end up with the most wins in the NL, yet you get outscored, so everyone badmouths you in sports media….
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
You know as well as I do
that there is an east coast bias in sports media anyways. I try not to let it bother me when the Padres show up in the last 5 minutes of Sportscenter or don’t show up at all. As for the “outscoring” part… it is still beyond me how the Diamondbacks did what they did last year. My feelings for the team aside (although, I am less venomous this year because that douche Valverde is gone), it is astounding that a team could win as many games as they did last year with a negative run differential.
We've all experienced those delirious moments where one thing leads to another and you find yourself at the end of the night messing around with sheep. It's something we all have in common. -jbox
I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED,
to hear that there is an east coast bias in sports media.
Also, our run diff was really only ugly early on. We fixed that down the stretch—but we had suffered so many lousy blowouts that we still ended up -20.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
I know. It just seems really counterintuitive
that a team with a negative run differential of any kind could win 90 games (and, in doing so, outperform their Pythagorean W-L by 11 games). I would have laughed in your face if you had told me that before the season.

"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
This is the kind of cross-blog interaction I don't mind.
I just got really pissy last season over all the amateurish trolling stuff. So I apologize.

Not at all.
I think perhaps GLB and the ‘Pit got off on the wrong foot.
Then again, I’ve got a diplomatic job to do this year, so… I gotta be a lot more diplomatic.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Well
My epic rant at the end of last season warrants an apology. Glad to start over and get back to baseball, and I hope this season has none of the high school bullshit that happened last year.
That being said, I will respectfully continue to hate your team, and in particular, Eric Byrnes.

Epic rant?
Should I remember it?
I can’t imagine any GLBer would launch an epic rant at any ‘Pitter besides me last season…. or else AJ…. (Dodgerhater)
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Hmm ha
I believe it was in the game thread for game 163. It was rather nasty and contained many vulgarities, and while I felt dirty after writing it, I was justifiably tired of all the trolling and juvenile shenanigans that were happening between GLB and the pit. In any case, it warrants an apology that i should have directed your way a long time ago.
