Spring Training Game Thread: 3/9 Padres @ Angels

PrintDid you know that the World's longest hot dog was 60 meters long? The World's Longest Fish Taco was only 20 feet long. I think the Padres and Rubio's should team up and beat that Fish Taco record this year.
Andy Masur has the line up today:
Padres lineup 3/9 @ Tempe: Cabrera 6, J. Hairston 4, S. Hairston 8, Gonzalez 3, Headley 5, Blanks 7, Stairs DH, Venable 9, Torrealba 2, CY 1
Dan Hayes has the probable pitchers
#Padres to throw Young (3), R. Liz (2) and Perdomo, Quezada, Webb and Italiano for 1 each at Tempe, rain permitting.

I can't help but to look at the sidebar
and grin like an idiot at Russell Martin being out with a groin injury … those things linger and for 1. him being a catcher and 2. the high-energy guy that he is … it’s a huge injury for the Doyers.
plus the Blue
is not running out to get another catcher or making any major moves
cause of that nasty divorce thing
I’m trying hard not to gloat…
Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a baseball; inside of a dog, it is very dark.
--Groucho Marx.
I work with a bevy of Dodger fans
they think it won’t be a big deal, my only counterpoint is that it happened to us and we went 63-99 … with the talent the Dodgers have, 81-81 is about that equivalent … and that just won’t get it done.
Don’t be surprised if you notice the Dodgers as sellers at the trading deadline, especially if Frank is getting his butt kicked in divorce court.
Like the Moores
I think all their money is tied up in the club. I don’t see how it is not going to affect them. Their attorney bills are estimated at 17 million (a world record). Of course, their great farm system helps a lot – ie. with Ellis, as noted below. A couple more injuries could send them into a tailspin.
Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a baseball; inside of a dog, it is very dark.
--Groucho Marx.
Their farm system is not good anymore
The Padres is actually better at this point. Aside from Ellis and maybe a backup OF there is not much they can go to the farm for.
The Dodgers are making so much money from their season ticket holders that they have a lot of liquidity to spend money. The Padres were screwed because the upfront money from the season ticket holders wasn’t there to ensure that their money coming in would cover the money going out via payroll. Plus, the Padres had to pay for the #3 overall pick so they had to save money for that too.
The Dodgers are fine financially. They keep their costs down because the McCourts are greedy and want to line their pocketbooks. Their payroll could be so much higher.
I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
A.J. Ellis
Has been a real good on base guy for their AAA squad. He really deserved a shot to big on the big league club anyway, but they signed Ausmus instead. They should be alright there in the short term.
I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Which is what this is
a short-term injury. Martin will probably need more days off and have to take it easy on the bases. Either way, without Martin the Dodgers are a mediocre club.
By that logic
The Dodgers with Martin are a mediocre club as well?

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
He's the captain and emotional leader
he can be on the field and suck yet the team will be OK. Without him (being disabled) they’ll struggle.

Pitchtracker
Only available for games at Peoria or Surprise, so home games for the Padres, Mariners, Royals, or Rangers.
They still have gameday, but it only updates between half innings and doesn’t have individual pitches.
Thanks.
The non-updating gameday sucks. It’s like slow motion baseball being described to you by someone with no descriptive ability.

Nah
He’d be fine in the majors. His 3rd pitch is already a 60 on the 20-80 scouting scale. That’s better than a lot of guys’ first pitch. It just doesn’t make sense to start his clock on a team with no chance at the playoffs.

I’d send him wherever Derek Norris is. Let him and their catcher of the future build up a relationship. That can only bring good things.

That's also true
His first two pitches are already amazing. He needs to develop his change up in the minors and he’ll be even more impressive when he comes up.

The thing about his breaking ball tho is
He throws it at different speeds; he has like a slow looping curve and also a faster tighter curve. He also throws a 4 seamer and a sinker so i guess those are both considered fastballs.

How many innings will he get year 1
and does it matter if he gets them in the minors or majors?
Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a baseball; inside of a dog, it is very dark.
--Groucho Marx.
I would think
Somewhere around 150. It matters financially if they occur in the majors. There is also some evidence that major league innings are more stressful. Emotionally, I’m sure that’d be true for Stras, but I’m not sure if that means that they’ll be physically tougher.
Currently, I’m not sure that anyone is overly concerned about his durability. As long as you make sure he’s not getting taxed in any one outing and gets proper rest between starts, he should be fine.
I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
How does it matter financially
since he will get paid no matter what.
Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a baseball; inside of a dog, it is very dark.
--Groucho Marx.
Financially for the Nationals
They get to keep him a year longer before free agency if he doesn’t start the season in the majors. If he doesn’t play in the majors at all this year and they keep in the minors for a bit next year, they get to keep him even longer.
Maybe financially isn’t the correct word. Competitively? Organizationally? Contractually?
I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I guess that matters financially for Stras too
The longer before he gets to free agency, the longer he has to wait for his big(ger) pay day.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
if they bring him up after the All Star break
the Nats have control over him for another year – correct?
But, if his innings are limited, I’m not sure how much he would actually get to pitch and is it is even worth it for a few games.
Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a baseball; inside of a dog, it is very dark.
--Groucho Marx.
Unless they are in contention
It makes no sense to pitch him past a set innings threshold.
However, no one knows if there will even be an innings threshold put on him.
It also makes no sense to call him up to the majors unless one of the following is true:
1. He has absolutely nothing left to prove in the minors
2. The team is in contention and he’s better than one of their pitchers on the 25 man roster.
3. The financial windfall associated with bringing him up and increasing attendance figures is too great to pass up.
3 is near impossible. 2 is pretty damn unlikely. 1 is improbable. So, in all likelihood the Nationals have no incentive to bring him up except to show off their brand new toy.

How did he find first base?

Interesting
The Padres have 2 SBs (and 1 CS) and have caused two errors on pickoffs. Baserunning is playing a key part today.

My brother thinks Logan Forsythe is a funny name
It’s like a southern gentleman name. Or like someone who escorts a lady to a cotillion or a debutant ball. How can we make fun of this?

Maybe Logan and
Lastings Millege can play in the GBL – gentlemen’s baseball league.

There ya go
I was trying to think of a word like that, but it wasn’t coming to me.
I’m going to try and make that stick.

Anthony gets two big outs.
Angels leave two on base.

Thanks, Perdomo.

CY was the only one who pitched well
Italiano and Liz were more lucky than good.

True.
I just never really liked Perdomo last year so I’m taking it out on him more than the other guys.

Last year was unfair to Perdomo
He wasn’t big league ready. He still needs time to season. The talent is there though. He survived the Rule 5 process and now he’ll get a chance is some better situations in Portland.

I know.
I’m unfairly hard on the guy. But if/when he starts pitching like he has the potential to, he’ll grow on me. I used to dislike Heath Bell too, but now he’s one of my favorites.

Perdomo & Liz
definitely need to start the year in AAA. I’m losing my patience with games being blown in a fraction of an inning, and Perdomo blew way too many last year.
Perdomo rarely pitched with the game on the line
He had one of the lowest leverage indexes of any major league reliever (that means he almost always came in when his team was winning or losing by a lot).
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.

Padres record with Perdomo pitching in '09....
was 4-31, that’s right 4 wins and 31 losses. I know it’s unfair to pin this on Perdomo, since these losses were largely due to the faults of the entire club, especially the lackluster offense. But if you look at Perdomo’s game log, many of his bad games ended up being pretty close. My main point is that I think we can find someone better than this guy.
I think that saying "we can find someone better than this guy"
Ignores that he wasn’t ready for the big leagues last year (and probably this year) and is still a guy that needs time develop. It’s too harsh to judge his entire future based on one Rule 5 year.
That being said, I won’t shed tears if they release him. I’ll just wonder why they hung on to him for so long before doing so.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
