Spring Training Game Thread: 3/25, Padres vs. Indians

by jbox on Mar 25, 2009 1:03 PM PDT

Game starts at 1:05.

Corey Brock with the line up:

CF, Jody Gerut
2B, David Eckstein
RF, Brian Giles
1B, Adrian Gonzalez
DH, Cliff Floyd
LF, Chase Headley
3B, Edgar Gonzalez
C, Henry Blanco
SS, Luis Rodriguez
SP, Kevin Correia (likely to throw 80 or so pitches. We'll also see Heath Bell for the first time since the World Baseball Classic).

Anybody else worried about the fact that Peavy has only pitched in three games so far? One Cactus League game and two WBC games, that's it. He says that one WBC game is worth 2 or 3 Spring Training games because of the competition and excitement, but still that doesn't seem like much practice. So by the time the season starts he'll have one more Cactus League starts and maybe a few bullpen sessions.

When either Peavy or Young inevitably end up hurt at the beginning of the season, how screwed are we going to be? Very.

Go Padres!

Concerened?

Yes. Just have this sinking feeling that he is going to pull up lame. Hopefully it is after all-star break and after he is traded.

Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall -- and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman

"...how screwed are we going to be?"

Going? Going???

We are so far past screwed that we’re already making the walk of shame in hopes of finding a cab at 6am on a Pacific Beach side street wearing a wrinkled short skirt and carrying our clear heels walking barefoot.

I don’t think we’re all going to fit in one cab.

When was the last time Kouz played?

It seems like its been a few days. I know there was a time when we though he wouldn’t make opening day, but he was playing 3B earlier this spring.

I saw him play

when I was there on Saturday, and Sunday. Don’t think he has played in the last two.

He played Sunday, I was there, too. He had scheduled day off Monday

The web said today that on Sunday during first AB, he felt a twinge in his side, but kept playing, but they held him out yesterday and I guess again today because of that. He got tw hits on Sunday.

You know

by Peavy’s math, he blew about 6 games at the WBC.

Pitching is lousy.

Yeah, he's the new run fairy, he gave up a ton on Sunday as well

I actually thought the hitting was great and has been during the spring, it’s just the pitching. Nova won’t make the team, I don’t bet. He has looked awful.

by kdukat on Mar 25, 2009 3:22 PM PDT up reply actions

aye

Hitting does seem improved, but pitching is bad. The only thing worse than Nova on Sunday was Ryu on Saturday.

The scary thing is

One of those two, if not both, will probably make the team.

Throw another one on the fire:

The Padres continued their stockpiling of pitchers on Wednesday when they claimed right-hander Eulogio “Frankie” De La Cruz off waivers from the Marlins.

Sorry, did you see Hoffie's (the other one) kids pitching in the bullpen at all?

We kept joking that they should put THEM in the game! Even though they don’t meet the minimum age requirements for MLB!

Naw

I didn’t see them. Didn’t get down there. I was in the third row on the isle even with first base.
