Open Thread, 7/1: Padres vs Astros

Houston Astros at San Diego Padres, Jul 1, 2009 7:05 PM PDT


You remember how in Star Trek: The Next Generation, you could ask the computer for food and it would put molecules together and create the food you asked for? I'd totally be down with that to create magical ballpark foods that people haven't thought of.

You could ask for all kinds of great things and taste them and determine if people would eat the stuff at a ballpark. Like jbox's churro dogs or my taco hot dog combinations or what not. I guess only one person could have that machine or else nobody would pay for the food once you made it. I need to rethink my stratergeries....

GO PADRES!!!

How many runs does Silva give up in the first two innings?

I’m afraid this will be his curtain call with the Padres.

by Padres in VA on Jul 1, 2009 6:31 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

None.

He won’t even give up a hit…we’ll all start to relax a little bit and then the wheels will just come flying off.

I fully expect double-digit scoring from the Astros tonight.

by Drama on Jul 1, 2009 6:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No way.

We’ll score eight runs and win. My lucky shirt says so.

Isn't it the second baseman's job to back up and the ss covers 2nd? that's what happens with

no one on base, but I don’t know when there are multiple runners on. That’s a long way for Venable to get on such a quickly thrown ball.

buddy leaves pitchers in the game too long

You would think a former pitcher would know better, have better instincts for when a pitcher is finished. Sometimes, he is the last person in the ballpark to realize when a pitcher is done.

He lets pitchers “work through their problems” or “finish the inning,” which screws the rest of the team.

by brewer090 on Jul 1, 2009 8:14 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Well he was the victim of bad defense, I think he is much better than I expected

that error is major costly right now and those 3 extra runs are not his fault.

by kdukat on Jul 1, 2009 8:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, only 3 runs but...

The second time around they were seeing his pitches. It was only a matter of time. Black did the right thing…this time around.

by Padres in VA on Jul 1, 2009 8:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I agree completely plus he probably could get rattled by that bad defense too

I am not a Silva fan by any means, I just felt a tad bad for him tonight. And I don’t know that we have any other options right now for the rotation spot until CY comes back.

by kdukat on Jul 1, 2009 8:26 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

right

but if he pitches, he should get extra special monitoring.

I just don't get it. If Kouz had made that error, you guys would be crucifying him

left and right and talking s*** up and down. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes, but why is it not okay to think that someone that plays a routine play so poorly needs to make up for it with the bat? It’s like it’s okay for him to do that because he’s young or new, etc. But if he is going to be a major league 3rd baseman for any team, much less a team I watch every night, he needs to make that play. That’s my point. And in all likelihood, he’s going to be the 3rd baseman because Kouz has trade rumors about him everywhere right now, especially with the Mariners. I want them both to stay actually but it appears unlikely.

Would you get over it? WE. ARE. F**KING. WITH. YOU.

Obviously it was a horseshit play and there isn’t a single a person on this board that isn’t disappointed in the way Headley is progressing right now. Does he need to make that play? HELL YES. Of course he needs to make that play.

Do you remember Phantom and the way he handled all the Khalil shit we pitched at that poor bastard? THAT’S the way you handle it. We bust balls in here….that’s what we do. Just because you don’t have any doesn’t make you immune. We all give it and we all take it. Pitch it back…have fun with it.

cause they can’t trade Giles now and get anything of value. Corey Brock said Hairston and Kouz are the only viable trade values that will get anything and KT said we would most likely be sellers, but our top two paid players are injured so there are few options.

Padre fans in my section

are pretty… ummm… ill-informed about baseball. I am disappoint.

Some of the taunts at my brother are embarrassing

They tried to say something about Blum winning a WS game against them and being on the team. I had to remind them about Tomy Jr.

The last two nights were fine

at least I wasn’t sure they were all terrible. Tonight was just plain pathetic. Kinda like Walter Silva (snap).

I don't think I've sat next to an intelligent fan at any ballpark

Other than the people I came with. Of course the majority of people in the world are not considered to be intelligent and the ballpark is a place that people like to dumb themselves down with alcohol, so I’m willing to bet that has something to do with it.

Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.

I've met a few

in the past. Maybe I was just lucky. Humanity, you’re failing me.

That Bo Davis guy we drafted from Southern Mississippi

He’s hitting 424 and has 3 steals tonight so far and is a HR away from the cycle

Seems like a keeper

Funny, I saw a couple of at bats in the CWS and didn’t think much of them. Of course, I saw even more of Tekotte last year didn’t think much of those either. Small sample size, the “scouts” enemy.
