Open Thread, 4/6: Padres vs Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Diego Padres


I love me some rubbermatch. After an impressive victory yesterday, Chris Young gets to take the mound against Derek Lowe.

If the Padres rotation were the A-Team, Peavy would be Murdock and Chris Young would be the Faceman. I only figure that because Greg Maddux is old and he'd obviously have to be Hannibal and Randy Wolf is scared of flying.

Actually, that's a terrible analogy because there were only four dudes in the A-Team and they don't actually match up to the Padres rotation at all.

Also, for all you Gaslamp Ball haters... Yes, I know that this post is devoid of anything of substance, so you can save your whining about how blah blah Gaslamp Ball sucks blah blah blah. It's Sunday and I have a little bit of a caffeine headache because I didn't have any coffee this morning and the Coke Zero hasn't kicked in. So SAVE IT.

If Chris Young can harness his tallness powers and somehow combine the strength of my caffeine headache into a focused laser beam of pitching precision, there's no stopping us.

Shaolin Shadowboxing... And the Wu-Tang sword style. If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be dangerous. Do you think your Wu-Tang sword can defeat me?

En guard! I'll let you try my Wu-Tang Style!

GO PADRES!!! BRING DA RUCKUS!!!

It's ridiculous the kind of pitching we can throw out there

And then Shawn Estes is killing it (I really hope we can move him up by May 15 so we don't lose him) in the minors along with others.

I love good pitching.

I love the thought that we might actually have good pitching depth, too.

Wow.

If Wolf performs well...

You can make a very good case for the best 1-4 rotation in all of baseball. If Estes or Prior end up making a positive impact at the big league level... that would be a downright disgusting rotation.

Can you ship a burrito?

Just wondering...I can't imagine any element of it holding up particularly well, short of buying it, then taking it home and decompiling it/tupperwaring each part of the burrito.

If I missed it that bad, that's what I'd do, but I'm nuts.

The Green Gear!

I was just talking about that to my fantasy baseball co-owner when we went on Friday, that the alternative jerseys always come up short due to accessories not matching; though I guess if you're going to wear a uniform 7-10 times in a year, it merits purchasing of matching equipment.

Chris Young's reached his pitch count after his 43 checks to first which end up being pointless since he threw a 51-footer.

Dodgers shoulda turned two there.

It's moot now, but with Kouz at bat and a hard-hit ball to third, Dewitt should have rolled a 5-4-3 there instead of worrying about Giles trying to score.

Of course, I had a massive '05-07 flashback there with that inning on the whole, but we got his pitchcount up for the first inning, I'll take it.

The things I didn't know

Those helmets won't help? Why do the players wear them, then?

Capri. Baseball will get me through the Bar.

by Demoira on Apr 6, 2008 2:09 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

the players at least have an earpiece

so it's covering the ear and the temple.

coolbaugh was killed with a shot to the neck behind the ear. a shot to the temple would also be a killer. chances are a shot off the dome where those base coach helmets are would have been a glancing blow anyway.

by Dex on Apr 6, 2008 2:10 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

is say that compared to a shot to the temple, which is more centered and would probably be a full force shot.

by Dex on Apr 6, 2008 2:11 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I didn't look closely enough to notice the lack of earpiece

I would have thought it was a given that they would be wearing batter's helmets. It's the logical thing. What do you want to bet it's the coaches who don't want the earpieces? They probably think it makes it too difficult to hear and impedes them from doing their job. I'm not saying they're right, but i bet that's what they say.

But I mean protecting someone from a temple shot.

by Drama on Apr 6, 2008 2:10 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

they ride above the ear so they wouldn't even really protect from a temple shot.

revolutionize baseball

they should give each team a couple of "play on it" calls where a player can make the call that a dead ball can just be played on. like right there, kouz could've called "play on it" to make the through even though it's foul.

that's the down side of having a guy pitch for your organisation for so many years. You can't "dispose" of him like some relief pitcher that has been around for less than a season. But I don't think the Padres will get in a situation where they'll need to "dispose" of Hoffman though.

First off, don't throw him in a non-save situation

Second, throw Bell a second inning, or use another reliever there.

Also, if he's pitching badly like he's started off this season, don't throw him for a few games. Let him work in the bullpen, get his head straight (it's always been a mental thing with him), and run him out there with a 4-run lead before you use him to save another game again.

If I didn't think wins were going to be so tough this year

this would be a different discussion.

The Padres have a miserable inter-league schedule and three tough division rivals....We saw last year how a game or two along the way makes all the difference. 2 games last year gets us an NL West title. 1 game a Wild Card.

Intentional Blog on Balls

by Richard Wade on Apr 7, 2008 1:19 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I am going to respectfully disagree

If Bard was such a clutch hitter he would be hitting higher than the eighth spot in the order.

This is not knocking on Bard in any way, shape, or form... I simply like my chances better with a runner on second and one out for a solid PH (followed by the top of the order) than I do a runner on first and no out for a number eight hitter. At that point, any base hit excepting an infield single scores a run, and with the way it played out, three good hitters (Clark, Giles, Iguchi) all had a chance to get one base hit. Plus, the sac bunt virtually eliminates the chance of a momentum-killing double play.

In conclusion, I endorse Buddy's use of the sacrifice bunt in this situation (but not his uninspired use of the bullpen the last couple of days... Ugh). This team needs to be able to win in small ball situations, because the Padres don't have many stereotypical "home run hitters" and they play half their season at cavernous Petco.

Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

by JBRO on Apr 7, 2008 1:47 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I reread this..

and it seemed like I was knocking on Bard. I think a better choice of words in the first sentence would have been,

"If Bard was hitting higher in the lineup and he was one of the team's main RBI guys, then the sac bunt would be a bad idea."

But, as it was today, he was eighth in the order. In my mind, the 2 and 8 hitters for this team should be able to set the table for the big dogs just as much as they should to be able to swing the bat for themselves.

Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

8th in order

Just because a guy hits 8th in the order doesn't mean he's not a good hitter. That's just like saying the guy who hits first in the order is the fastest man on your team. It's only true until it's not true. Bard is a perfectly capable hitter.

by Dex on Apr 7, 2008 5:05 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not saying he isn't a capable hitter...

I am merely saying that I like my chances better with Clark-Giles (or as, it ended up due to Clark's walk, Clark-Giles-Iguchi) to get one base hit, rather than letting Bard swing away.
