PrintSan Diego Padres at St. Louis Cardinals, Aug 16, 2009 11:15 AM PDT
After the last two games, I'd recommend that most of you avoid today's Padres game except for the fact that it's Clayton Richard going for us and if there's one thing he knows how to do, it's lead the Padres to victories.
Expect 9 runs by the fourth inning from the Padres.
I'M REALLY GUARANTEEING A VICTORY NOW!!! GO PADRES!!!

Does anyone get the impression that
while the Padres have made huge strides playing teams recently, The Cardinals are just such a better team? Like even though you can beat up all your friends, beating up your big brother still exposes how small you still are?
correction
‘fighting your big brother’….the internet is beating me today….getting used to gaslamp mobile
Sort Of
The Cardinals are playing really well right now. Lugo and Holliday won’t hit like this forever, they’ll come down to Earth. They are also playing on borrowed time right now; they have a ton of players about to be free agents and they can’t afford them all. They are in full playoff push mode. The Padres aren’t even close to being in that mode.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
I saw Holliday was hitting .493 since going to the Cards

A bit weary..
of TGwynn propensity to hitting weak grounders to second or first as he tries to pull most everything now. Limited to only being able to hit singles. Gwynn’s only chance to make it at this level is to spray the ball. What is Gwynn’s value ? : he has no baserunning IQ : he is pure station to station…4th outfielder written all over him..offensively : he is Kerry Robinson with less speed. I hope we are not automatically saddled with this guy for 4 years because his name is Gwynn…which leads to my next point : are we now saddled with Edgar Gonzalez as well ?
We were never saddled with Chris Gwynn
Nor Marcus Giles, nor any particular Alomar, nor either Hoffman. When TGJ’s time is up with the Padres, it’ll be up and nobody will think anything of it.

wrong, we were saddled with Chris Gwynn
did you watch Chris Gwynn’s 1996 performance ? Think he stays on that roster if his name isn’t Gwynn ?
I remember Chris Gwynn's double
at was at Dodger Stadium that day…..play off spot had already been clinched by both, Dodgers took out their regulars: sort of anti-climatic days, so anti-climatic that the Padres started Bob Tewksbury
you're right..
it was a fantastic game because we won the Division but it was also kind of, for lack of better phrase: weird environment/culture because both teams had won a spot in the playoffs and both teams played it safe (as far as player moves) ..and yes, on that day, Chris Gwynn delivered
wrong.
Over a 10 year career, Chris Gwynn had 100 plate appearances as a utility player in 1996. We were hardly “saddled” with the guy.

I guess time will tell
I am sure now that I am being irrational, but I think we will have other (better) options in the future as far as other OFers and my fear is that Gwynn will get the nod when the trend says that he shouldn’t.
but..
I can’t seem to let it die …but what exactly equals a “saddling” ….did you watch Chris Gwynn in that ’96 season fail in big pinch hitting appearance after big pinch hitting appearance in that tight division race ….the Murph crowd booing him endlessly, the talk show pundits questioning why indeed Chris Gwynn was on the roster…was it because he was a Gwynn ? I say yes. Therefore, we were indeed “saddled”.
Padre Saddles (83-present) - family ties can mean a roster spot
- Greg Booker – nephew of Jack McKeon
- Chris Gwynn
- Edgar Gonzalez
- Chris Gwynn Jr. ? jury is still out on this one.
you really cant let it die

His fielding % was just .956 (with 13 errors)
