Will Ledezma out. Joe Thatcher in. Chase Headley stuck in the middle with you.

Some player movement as we shore up the number of left handed relievers that Bud Black crushes on . There's so much movement with the Padres these days! One would've thought that Chase Headley would've been called up by accident by now.

CHASE! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME! SNEAK INTO THATCHER'S LUGGAGE!!! CHAAAAAASE!!! FOLLOW THE SOUND OF MY VIRTUAL VOICE!!!

I think Corey has stolen this job

I say “I think” because I am in now way able to predict Buddy Black decision-making process.

I watched all 23 innings and all I got was this lousy signature.

i'm betting 8th inning

heath bell is gonna come out in the 6th
and starting pitching is only gonna go 5, no matter who it is.

swaping bad for worse

okay whatever
maybe its strategey… that all this up and down is gonna make thatcher be the best pitcher everrrrr

or maybe he does a very entertaining dance and it wakes up black

i sometimes think Kevin Towers just wants to mess with everyones minds… he thinks it is fun

Ledezma

Good riddance. So tired of this guy. I can see why he’s bounced around. His lack of control makes it look like he’s not trying. When the bases are loaded and you start a guy with a fast 4 inches high and away you are not going to earn any brownie points. It makes it look like you don’t care about the situation, that you are not thinking about how to approach the hitter and that you have no intent on bearing down to get outs. I’ll take Baek and Banks thank you and say good bye to the Sauce (a nickname I have no fond thoughts of).

I agree

He was pretty good earlier this year in relief. USA Today Sports Weekly even did a little write up about him pitching well in relief. But SP is not his calling. It might be his goal, but it’s not his calling.

I hope Ledezma’s shining Clark’s shoes today, otherwise Ledezma was going to fall to a horrible Pedro Martinez.

Still waiting for "Baseball Today" to give the Padres some love.

Thatcher

This is probably temporary. A move to get an extra arm in the bullpen (Ledezma needs time to rest after his last start) until Peavy comes off the DL and Thatcher can go back down.
