Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

Spring Training Game Thread: 3/8 Padres vs. Colorado

Let's see if Muhammod Ali's clubhouse visit did anything to motivate the team.  If the Padres lose this game, I will consider it a direct insult to the great pugilist.

In other news a dog "threw" out the first pitch and peed on the mound.  That reminds me of the time a dog snuck into the our dug out at Granite Hills High School during an SDABL baseball game and peed on one of our bats.  As gross as it was, I think it brought our hitters good luck.  So today I'm predicting a pitchers duel.

Corey Brock has the line up

Gwynn 8, Eckstein 4, Gonzalez 3, Headley 5, Blanks 7, Venable 9, Hundley 2, Cabrera 6, Correia 1

Richard was pushed back

NC Times

Clayton Richard, who was supposed to start and throw two innings before Sunday’s rainout, will instead pitch one inning out of the bullpen Monday after starter Kevin Correia throws two innings

I think "Batting Coach Firing Room" is in PETCO Park.

They’d have to drive Ready all the way back to SD to do it.

so that would be...

the Ready room?

That should have been 3-0 count

But now i’m realizing that stattracker didn’t have it backwards. It was 0 balls 3 strikes. Darnell strikes out.

I’m retarded.

0-3

technically the worst batter’s count possible.

I was dating this girl from Canada... after about a month I found out she didn't know what sport the Padres played, she thought "padre" was spelled p-o-d-r-a-y and she thought it was some kind of a fish. Dealbreaker.

roster

out of curiosity, if Antonelli makes the starting day roster, who gets bumped?

No need for Eck, Hairy Jr, and Anton.

I figure he will get injured by May

and then you bring up Antonelli

makes sense

I don’t see Eck losing his roster spot due to bad performance… I think even if Antonelli hits .500 this spring, he starts the season in AAA.
