PrintSan Diego Padres at Seattle Mariners, Jun 25, 2009 1:40 PM PDT
Good thing I programmed all of these Game Threads at the beginning of the week. I didn't even know there was a game going on right now.
I should be listening to the game, but I'm listening to a U2 concert in Chicago from '87. Bono is doing that Rolling Stones medley at the end of Bad.
Go Padres!!

Love the effort
Padres are 9-10 in day games. Not good you say? Well that .474 Winning % is higher than their season Winning percentage of .443.
ERA is 4.20 in day games vs 4.61 for the season.
They also have a higher BA and SLG%, but their OBP is lower.
ECab is leading off. Blanks is at 1B with AGon DHing.
Edgar Gonzalez has some pictures of Buddy or something because he’s in the lineup out in RF. Oh, brother.
Tony Gwynn has the day off.
Stick that in your copy and paste it.

Career vs LHP
Gwynn: .295/.348/.328
EGon: .263/.331/.391
Gwynn gets on base better against lefties, EGon has more power. Gwynn has 0 SBs vs LHP.

Leblanc would look like an ace if he was pitching against us
if thats any consolation
I have a sick feeling in my stomach...
Someone….somewhere…is booking Brian Lawrence plane reservations from Portland to San Diego.
He wasn't that great in his first Portland outing
His ticket ain’t punched yet. Do we even need someone for another start, should CY be off the DL by the next time this rotation spot comes around?

Multiple runs, that should be easy for the Padres to overcome, right?
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
Who thought it would be a good idea
to have a starter that throws fastballs in the low 80s
So far
except for Ichiro’s HR (85 MPH fastball), all the hits have been off of curveballs and changeups.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
He can get his two seamer over the plate
He hasn’t thrown it for a ball yet. And that’s the low 80s one the 1210pads mentioned. The mid-80s ones (four seamer) he’s about 50-50 on. With one of them being the Ichiro dinger.

Needs to shut out the Mariners the next 3 innings to keep his ERA where it was to start the game. And his ERA at the start was 9.00!

This is obviously something beyond talent
I have to believe he’s struggling with the transition to the majors. He’s not executing his pitches because he’s not focused, not because he’s not talented enough. Neither problem helps in the short term, but if it’s a nerves thing, hopefully he can get over that.

No it does not
Nothing I didn’t know already. I can’t say that I was in favor of them promoting him this year. Although 4.08 ERA in the PCL is nothing to sneeze at.

Hopefully they just put him on a plane to PDX tonight
while the others get on the charter to Dallas, it’s not even an hour from SEATAC. I think CY misses one more start, so we need someone else, just let Banks do it on the next turn in the rotation. Thank god I haven’t been able to watch either of LeBlanc’s starts on tv.

boo

You are getting Darnell
He’s every bit as good. And his defense is, ummm, more exciting.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
Makes sense
I was expecting that move after the Darnell promotion.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
That basically means
That if does well there he could be ready for the major leagues next year. Or at least that seems to be the Padres MO as our top prospects seem to only spend have a season in AAA.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
it will be interesting to see if Morrad has that same philosophy
I don’t recall the D-backs holding back prospects like the Padres did with headley and Blanks.
It's not really up to Moorad
It was never up to Alderson either. CEO’s don’t really get involved with those kind of details.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
I was thinking it was more of a Moores budget thing
not wanting to start younger players clock when they dont have too.
Headley and Blanks
Both needed to learn new positions. I’m not even sure Blanks will stay up with the team once they are done with interleague. Blanks is also very young for making his debut. Headley had barely played in AAA. Headley was a little more of an interesting case because there was an obvious opening at his new position and the team was supposed to be competitive. But, there’s really no reason to rush those types of players.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
can either of them pitch?
cuz we need some of that. Plus imagine how scary Blanks would be on the bump
Headley could have started in LF by may of last year
but they kept him down in AAA until he passed the point where he would not get a full year of ML service time.
They could have worked with blanks in LF over the off season (like they did with Headly) and started him out in LF to begin the year in AAA but they chose to drag thier feet.
That is partially true
But I have yet to see any real benefit that came from bringing up Chase last year.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
Sure there was it gave him exposure to MLB pitching
It gave other teams a chance to adjust to him, and now he needs to adjust to MLB pitchers. If he starts to hit again towards the end of the season then we know he can play at the MLB level, if he is still struggling then the padres know going into the 2010 season that they need to find a LF or 3B (if they trade Kouz). If they didn’t bring him up last year his status at the end of this year would still be up in the air.
But wouldn't it be preferable
For him to get polished in AAA and come up more ready to contribute? Because, to me nothing is decided about him because his bat and glove aren’t ready. Ideally you’d want to make a decision soon about whether to buy out his arbitration years with a long term contract like the Padres did with Adrian and Peavy or the DBacks did with Chris Young (the CF). Instead, you have this guy who is still learning to hit left handed pitching, is liability in LF and rusty at 3B. Unless you are in need of having a position filled at the big league level, most players are going to need at least a year at AAA before being major league ready, there is a lot to learn there that if you try to do make them do it in the majors you’re basically hurting your future payroll since they will be arbitration eligible by the time they figure it all out.
