Open Thread: 2/25, Padres Charity Game vs. Mariners

by jbox on Feb 25, 2009 11:45 AM PST Comment 77 comments

Game starts 12:05pm PST, Corey Brock has the line up, I don't think there is a way to watch or listen to this game but DePo is going to provide some updates on his blog during the game. I take that back... Friar John says you can listen on MLB.com with a subscription.

CF Scott Hairston
2B David Eckstein
1B Adrian Gonzalez
DH Kevin Kouzmanoff
LF Chase Headley
3B Edgar Gonzalez
RF Will Venable
C Nick Hundley
SS Luis Rodriguez
SP Jake Peavy

As you can see Kouz is the DH today. Edgar Gonzalez is taking his place at third base. In the same article the Padres got their first win of Spring Training when 4 of their minor league pitchers helped beat the Mariners in a golf tournament.
Maddux says it's doubtful he'll be in the dugout for any regular season games, but he might be back to camp later in the Spring.
Mark Worrell is a youtube sensation because he has 1,400 page views and only 5 2/3 innings pitched. Gaslamp Ball has videos more popular than that with zero innings pitched, booyah!
Friar John has a listing of the games that will be televised on the MLB network.
Eckstein has a hard time seeing runners when he plays second base. "I can remember seeing Ken Caminiti, and I thought, 'Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into?'"
Everybody is so worried about LRod starting at shortstop. He'll be fine. “I don't want to put too much pressure on myself,” Rodriguez said. “I want to do what I did here last year – play my game and help the team win the game.”
Mark Prior is a little full of himself: "If I can get back to 80 percent or 90 percent of what I used to be, then that's still pretty good..."

does anyone

wanna talk about the Giants/Indians game, cause its actually on TV, plus we can make fun of Tim Lincecum.

Ill start:

Tim Lincecum is so bad, he gave up a hit to the Indians in the first inning of a Spring Training game HAHAHA!

ah, DePo:

Through the first two innings the Pads are down 2-0.

After a scoreless inning from Peavy in the 1st, Heath gave up four hits and two runs in the 2nd, though Chase Headley did throw out a runner at home.

Offensively, both Hairston amd Edgar Gonzalez led off with singles, and Kouz mixed in a walk, but we haven’t been able to capitalize.

Meredith has taken the mound for the top of the 3rd.

You know I’m not a fan either. I already had the app bug where you have to delete everything and reinstalled. But it kicks the crap out of my old phone in every way.

There

IS an live box score. But its sucks. I’m not sure if its the top of the tenth or bottom of the tenth. 3-3.

Oneli Perez gave up a solo homer in the 9th to whoever the hell Rob Johson is to tie the game

Kouz has a 2 run homer and Agone has the other RBI but no hits must be a sac fly.

top of the tenth, 2 men on, 0 out. I’ve been following the live box while at work.

At Bat full version

It’s much better than At Bat Lite. It has the play by play with video highlights linked to the big plays. The video highlights are there almost right away and the resolution is pretty good. I used it quite a bit last season.

Could be worse... could be the offseason.
