Spring Training Game Thread: 3/18, Pads vs. Texas

by jbox on Mar 18, 2009 12:52 PM PDT

I had something planned to say in this game thread, but I totally blanked and can't remember. I seem to remember it wasn't particularly good, but at least it was something. I'll have to think about it.

Go Pads!

Corey Brock with line up and low down:

3B, Chris Burke
2B, David Eckstein
DH, Cliff Floyd
LF, Emil Brown
RF, Chris Snelling
1B, Kyle Blanks, possibly coming to an outfield near you?
CF, Will Venable
C, Nick Hundley
SS, Everth Cabrera
SP, Cesar Ramos (scheduled to go three innings), followed by Jae Kuk Ryu 2, Arturo Lopez 1, Edwin Moreno 1, Joe Thatcher 1 and Matt Buschmann 1.

I wonder

if Cabrera will actually get a hit this game.

Ramos, Carillo, Geer

Are all awful awful busts and should never pitch for us again. Jebus we have no friggin’ rotation to speak of.

Worrell is going to be shut down indefinitely with Elbow soreness.

Damn you no cussing club!!

Reliever Mark Worrell, expected to contend for a spot in the bullpen, is experiencing with right elbow soreness. Manager Bud Black said if the soreness persists, the team might have to put Worrell through some tests. At the very least, we won’t see him for several days.

HA! Agreed!

We could go to a 4-man rotation...

…of course, you actually need four pitchers to do that. Forget it.

Bullpen:
Meredith

Bell

Pretty dismal.

I can’t imagine any of these guys

Silva will contend for the 5 spot.

Ryu is another possibility

I though Silva was going to relieve Ramos today. Wonder what happened with that. Maybe they were counting on Jake being back soon and now he should be pitching in the WBC finals. So they moved Silva to a start to compensate.

would suck

to let the guy go, but to have to carry him for a whole year on the bench is a lousy thought.

Could also stick

David Eckstein at times and have Edger play second .

I don't think

Eckstein would agree with that. He signed with the Padres with the promise to play 2B

by sixpakfrombelgium on Mar 18, 2009 5:15 PM PDT up reply actions

aye

but if the situation should arise that he needs to be called on I doubt he will say no.
