Padres beat Marlins 5-4

PrintThe Padres took an early first inning lead but couldn't hold on very long.
It wasn't until the 6th inning when Jerry Hairston Jr. hit a double over the head of the Marlins' left fielder that the Padres pulled away with a 3 run rally. Ryan Ludwick came off the bench and paid early dividends with a base hit and a crafty slide into home that ended up making the difference.
It's also worth mentioning that Yorvit Torrealba continued his hitting streak and pushed it to 14 games with three hits today.
Heath Bell earned his 30th save on a nerve racking appearance where he allowed a run and left runners at first and third.

such a fun game
cool little moment in RF when Ludwick first took the field in the 7th… the whole crowd was giving him a standing O, and he just sat there and looked at the crowd in RF and smiled this big goofy grin and waved to the fans. he genuinely looked excited to be here in SD. i feel like i could really like this ballplayer.

I am so stoked on the Ludwick acquisition
you can tell that he’s gonna fit right in and be huge for us in the stretch. What an incredible game! Beating Josh Johnson at Petco really tells you something about how great this team is. The LA series is gonna be exciting.
Ludwick said in postgame that he was really encouraged by the fans reaction
So, I feel like I had a small part in him coming through for us.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Great win on a "must win"
I would love to take 3 of 4 from the Doyers.
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts
That would be nice
A sweep would effectively end their playoff hopes.

being LA ended their playoff hopes.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
I think they just did, getting swept by the Giants.
After the Padres big win against the Fish, I thought only splitting the series would put LA out of the race. Now, if the Padres really want to make a statement on this 7-game road trip, they need to take at least 3 of four from the Dodgers, and sweep the Snakes.

Good game!
Slow day for baseball here, so I got to catch most of the game while I worked (getting paid to watch baseball=greatest thing ever). Scotty doesn’t know anymore so someone should really inform him so he can stop sucking so bad.

Great game
I almost lost it for us by not high-fiving the drunk guy in front of me when Bell came in. I got distracted and left him hanging, next thing you know, double in the gap.
Bell got another out and I redeemed myself with a makeup high five and we won the game.
Shout out to justdave, who I hope got some water and a nap after the game.

Looks like this is a win win for everyone - except the oppressed indiginous americans
Hopefully Ludwick will find a happy and productive home in SD
and the crowds will continue to grow – via the bandwagon.
since there is no reason the Padres should not make it into the Series…
the question is…
who will be the Series mvp?

I listened to the whole game on the radio on my way to L.A. today and it sounded like an incredible game.
Especially when Ludwick walked up to the plate, that crowd was really loud.
Gaslamp Ball Game OT: "Makes you happy in the pants"
MLB Network: "Keep believing!"
Heat: "Uhh, no. We know."
Studwick seems pretty good
Let’s start with that and see what happens. It also gives us the alternative if, heaven forbid, things go sour: Dudwick.

I don't see the point in that nickname
Its not any easier/fun to say than Ludwick and the fact the he’s a stud is pretty much implied already. I’m not super against it, but we can do better. Although, I could see just referring to him as Stud.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

but some things need to happen to build into the lore of it, like “Harrison.” This will just be a placeholder.

I’d have been very surprised if nobody else had come up with it first.
No pressure on anyone, we’ve got the placeholder, we can let his new, improved GLB nickname happen when it does.

FYI
I was playing around with lineup optimizer to see what it recommends for our lineup using 2010 stats. I put in Venable as our current LF, but I don’t think it would change if I used someone else. I also had Yorvit as our catcher, that would probably change things with Hundley. I also used today’s pitcher, Richard.
It came out with an optimized linwup (4.508 runs/game) of:
- Torrealba
- Gonzalez
- Tejada
- Ludwick
- Headley
- Venable
- J. Hairston
- Richard
- Gwynn
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
with Hundley
It wants him batting second and Adrian leading off (4.305 runs/game).

What’s our runs/game given a non-optimized linwup… pick the most likely Budbot scenario, as Steve points out below, they vary.

How about I used the predict-o-tron linwup for today?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Predict-o-tron's linwup would average 4.192 runs/game
For those that don’t follow me on twitter, I do a halfway decent job at guess Buddy’s linwups. Here’s what I had for today:
J. Hairston 4, Tejada 6, Gonzalez 3, Ludwick 9, Headley 5, Torrealba 2, Venable 7, Gwynn 8, Richard 1
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
The linwup optimizer isn't going to like BudBot's linwups that much because
He has J. Hairston lead off and his 2010 OBP is .309 and his SLG his .353, which are not the kind of numbers you want for the guy that will end up with the most At Bats on the team.
I was thinking that this hasn’t been as bad for us because Jerry has done better since moving to leadoff, but that’s only partially true. His OBP is higher (.323), but his SLG (.324) and Avg (.245 vs .251) are down. However, increasing your OBP while batting in front of Adrian is probably way more important that the other two.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

The actual linwup
Hairston 4 Tejada 6 Gonzalez 3 Ludwick 9 Headley 6 Torrealba 2 Venable 7 Denorfia 8 Richard 1

Optimized with Denorfia in it (4.636 runs/game):
1. Torrealba

Final (maybe) thought
The Padres have actually average 4.3495 runs/game. And that’s without Ludwick and playing in a pitcher’s park (which this tool doesn’t consider).
Not sure what that means, but its interesting.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Ok, this is what I wanted to know
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
What it means is
when you average 4.3495 runs/game and your pitching staff is providing a 3.5 ERA, you are in 1st place. Dun.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
For July
Padres averaged
114 runs / 24 games = 4.75 runs per game
without Ludwick or Tejada.
"I post like canned meat."
We played 27 games in July? (24 + 3 in the Tejada/Ludwick era)
That doesn’t sound right.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
But Tejada was in the linwup for two of those games.
7/30 & 7/31, both vs. FLA.
In order to have accurate results for a July without the recent acquisitions you need to adjust your numbers.
Oh, and SSS.
