Open Thread, 9/29: Padres vs Dodgers

Crackerjackdex2_tiny by Dex on Comment 329 comments

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres, Sep 29, 2009 7:05 PM PDT


And so we begin the final series against the Dodgers in 2009, The Season That Kinda Was. Seasons like 2009 are seasons where I am firmly convinced that the baseball season should be shortened by a solid 15-30 games. It just takes too long. One should never get tired of something they love to watch, but that's what happens when your team is out of it before the midway point. Seasons should quit while they are ahead.

Get rid of interleague if you have to. Switch back to a two division format. Expand by 2 teams and switch to a 4 division format. Do something. Just make it so that when the season is winding down, there's absolutely no chance of a fan to have become tired of the current season already.

JBox and Jon will be at the game (tweety bird and silent parrot). I (mother hen) will be monitoring from home base (the nest).

GO PADRES!!!

Game could mean something

If we pull out a 2 game series sweep and the Rox pull off their series sweep then the Rox still has a chance at a division.

At least this game has something riding on it.

I know nothing about this.

P.S. Can I get the official ruling on the spelling of “JBox” – uppercase “b” or lowercase?

2 yr. update on Linebrink Trade

If Thatcher pitches well again next year and Linebrink is simply average again in ’10 or more likely is not healthy again then I would have to say advantage Padres on this deal. And there is still Garrison & Inman…..

Could be worse

At least it isn’t the pitcher

by Dude52089 on Sep 29, 2009 7:42 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

My instincts tell me that ...

neither Headley or Kouz are the answer at 3b. I hope the Pads also think outside of these two as well as possibilities at 3b.
 
I know Headley is young but I don’t like his approach and I see him always striking out too much with some line drive power but never the amount of extra base hits that you want see see from a third basemen. Kouz is getting worse offensively over a 3 year span with foreseeable back issues plaguing him. We have seen Towers score Cabrera in the last 10 months, could he pull another rabbit out the hat

by texpadre on Sep 29, 2009 7:44 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I think if Headley is able to stay at third he’ll build up his strength and develop some power, and hopefully cut down his strike outs with the help of Randy Ready.

  • no extra base hits
  • few stolen bases
  • too many strikeouts (62) in (344) for singles hitter
  • needs to walk more

He's a single's hitter

Random need

Pads greatest need on ’1O is a viable back up middle infielder.

Headley's 0-4.

Am I supposed to blame that on him not being at third where he’s comfortable?

Want to know why Kouz is a platoon player ?

and must eventually learn to play 1b and LF

He can’t hit RHP. Look at his 2009 splits versus RHP and then proceed to cry.

Happy birthday!

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”

It's hard to complain about Bell, even with recent slump

when his numbers still compare pretty favorably with any of the other NL West closers . Broxton has been better but not by much.

I've tried it,

but I can’t get as excited for hockey as I do for baseball or football.

Padres 35-23 in last 58 (36% of season -97.7 win season pace)

and they were totally ignored this past weekend by MLB and ESPN as being one of the majors hottest teams in September.

Don't get me wrong, I HATE ESPN,

but i can’t blame them for ignoring us at this point in the season.

I'd love to answer "Shut the f**k up, Donny"...

…but you’re right. We care…but why should anybody else?

by Drama on Sep 30, 2009 9:15 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

76-86 would be fairly incredible turnaround

that would mean .612 baseball over 38% of season after they were on pace to lose 100

by texpadre on Sep 29, 2009 10:05 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

i was thinking that too

besides the fact that 90% of people voting are pads fans (and should be voting no), the Dodgers pitching sucks and they’ve been very mediocre since the all-star break. they don’t look like a WS team.
