Padres beat Giants' Sanchez for third time; take 3.5 game lead

PrintThat was a crasy game. Padres were caught in run downs three times. Jerry Hairston Jr. was involved in two of them. Clayton Richard was sketchy early on, bouncing pitches and balls to third base. Then the strangest play was Scott Hairston being called out for interfering with the second basemen on a ball deflected off the pitcher. Bud Black argued for about 10 minutes and decided to officially protest the game.
I'm listening to the XX 1090 Postgame Show and Coach Kentera is saying that the Umpire Case Book says that if a ball is deflected off the pitcher and the base runner interferes with the infielder then the runner is out. So the protest would likely have been denied.
Turns out it didn't matter since the Padres were able to score the deciding run in the 6th inning on a great slide by Ryan Ludwick. Heath Bell saved the game and proved once and for all that Jonathan Sanchez is a sh_tty psychic.
Good win. I'm off to St. Louis and Chicago tomorrow morning. Catch you on the flip side.

Most satisfying win of the season.
And that picture summarizes it perfectly.

Standings....
2.5 behind the Yanks for best record in the Majors, best record in the NL.

Good God Damn
But Giants fans are pissed. I can understand why. But I seriously take issue with their constant whining about how lucky we are. We are lucky, but we are good also. Our centerfielder didn’t fall flat on his ass playing a double into a triple. Our third baseman didn’t birch a rundown allowing the go ahead run to get to third. You made those mistakes. We didn’t. That’s why we won. Deal with it.

Best run differential in the NL.
I think that means we are lucky.

I'd rather be lucky than good
But I’d much rather be lucky and good… than be a little bitchass like Jonathan Sanchez.

1-2 losses
I can somewhat understand how a uneducated fan can attribute that to the baseball gods hating them. But 8? Come on…
Delusional fanbase is delusional.
I think this article was linked on GLB a few weeks back... and I've had four beers...
but I’ll try my best to summarize here:
If you took 30 teams of exact equal abilities, in the same exact conditions, with all factors being exactly equal, and ran a simulation of those teams playing each other over a 162 game season, you’d end up with most teams around .500… but some teams will win or lose lose up to 12 games above or below .500. Meaning that LUCK plays a big part of baseball just due to the nature of the game.
So, yeah, luck plays a big part in baseball. But it’s equally likely to strike good teams as it is bad teams. So, bitching about luck is like bitching about airplane peanuts and rush hour traffic. It’s tired; it’s pointless; and it’s unoriginal.

In a head to head matchup
where both sides have exact equal abilities, in the same exact conditions, with all factors being exactly equal. The outcome over a 10 game stretch should be 5-5 or near there. 8-1 seems like there is something else working there besides luck. I suspect talent.

here's my problem with this:
Luck is not the only “intangible.” Certain unmeasurable aspects of the game such as hustle, concentration, and execution can be factors of a good coaching staff and clubhouse atmosphere (or chemistry) and can affect more game outcomes than the six that were affected by luck.
Some games are won by luck. Tonight’s game was won by superior execution.
I have more to say about this, but most of it doesn’t make much sense, so I’m going to bed.
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.

Just got back from the game
Man, what an awesome game. Padre fans were littered throughout the park but when something happened we were pretty loud. Such a good feeling to walk out of an opposing ballpark after winning a big game. Jonathon F_____g Sanchez tell me how my ass taste.
I could hear y'all on the radio
Nice job pads fans from afar!
I would love to make it to an SF game this year…
That was a great win and man those Giants fans at McC are piiiiiiisssssssed, holy crap are they pissed.
Gaslamp Ball Game OT: "Makes you happy in the pants"
MLB Network: "Keep believing!"
Heat: "Uhh, no. We know."
put yourselves in their spot
you’ve been trailing one team (mostly close) throughout the year and you’re 1-8 against them. if it was us against the Dodgers we would be at wits end
Oh, yeah. No doubt about it.

Sooo getting my pads on tonight
I listened to the pregame + Broadcast + post game on radio.
I DVRd the postgame show and replay, gonna watch ’em all!
= )
3-2 win to open every 3 game set with the Giants this season.
Man, I really want to see the Pads win the next two games by scores of 5-2 and 1-0. That would be simply amazing.
"The hammer is my penis." -Captain Hammer
In the end,
Richard goes 6 ip 2 ER, on a BAD day! Most of our pitchers have gone through slumps but come out of it (Correia, LeBlanc) hopefully Richard pulls out of this one, it would be nice if he could get on track before pennant chase time.
Hells yeah
I was out draaankin’, and now I find out that the Padres beat Jonathan Sanchez??? Great day to be a Padres fan, and good to know that we can beat that little buster even when we do get hits.
To steal jodes’ phrase:
ITS THE FRIAR, BITCH!
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
yeah the MCC crew is annoying
I get being pissed, but they are a bit blind to their own team’s luck. The BP adjusted standings have them 5.0 games over their adjusted standings. The adjusted standings have three adjustments:
1. adjustments for being above or below pythagorean standings
2. take a team’s batting and pitching lines and compare what they should have scored or allowed vs. actual
3. adjusting for quality of opponents.
So, the “luck” is really in the first two, the third is just who you played (luck of schedule I guess). After the first two the Giants are 4.1 over (that is lucky) vs. the Padres 2.5, so they have bee luckier than the Padres yet keep whining about how lucky we are. Now maybe in our games we have won squeekers, but still.
Go Padres
they also complain about how our pitchers aren't that good based on K and BB rates
the Giants and Padres are 1-2 in MLB in K/9 and the Padres are 7th lowest in BB/9, while Giants are THE HIGHEST BB/9 OF ALL. We’re 3rd in MLB in K/BB and they are 16th.
also, team OPS+
SD 99
SF 93
Which apparently means…they should be beating us in the standings?
To be fair
ERA+
SD 112
SF 124

I'm not arguing that they don't have better starters than ours
I’m pointing out their poor (and pointless) dismissal of our pitching using statistics that don’t even back up their arguments
Also, Ludwick is becoming one of my favorite Padres
Teach your fellow Friars that slide!

What a great win!
and what a great game. That was another highly bizarre Padres/Giants contest. Let’s take two today!
It takes to to make a things go right
It takes two to make it outta sight

I think it’s entertaining, as a Giant’s fan, to read all the SF hate coming from down south. Whenever I meet people from San Diego I get the feeling from them that there is this intense rivalry against SF. I don’t think people up here really share those sentiments/rage against the Padres…………..

I know that the protest is null/void
But I’m still interested to know what the ruling would have been if the Giants won. Has anyone seen/heard anything about how it would have played out if the Giants won?
I'd bet money
That it wouldn’t hold up. The rule says the runner must do all he can to not interfere with the play, and Hariston neither stopped nor truly went around the fielder.
In the very unlikely case that it would hold up and the Giants won, Mark Grant said that the game would be restarted today from immediately after that play: Top of the 4th, 2 out, Richard batting, with Hairston on 2nd and Denorfia at first.
by I8EtoDunbar on Aug 14, 2010 11:37 AM PDT up reply actions
the ruling would've gone against the padres
Scan broke it down after the game. It’s an unwritten rule (logged in the umpire’s situational handbook) and that exact situation would’ve gone against the Padres.

I'm still riding a high from yesterday's game
(and crystal meth). Sooo satisfying. Jonathan Sanchez will forever be on my s**t list now.
Also, while looking to find some articles ripping Sanchez and his loud mouth, I came across this gem:
There was no doubt whatsoever that he had his good stuff. That’s why it’s inexcusable that he hit Pablo Torrealba to open the second inning…

The bar I was at had it on one 24 inch screen and the bar was full of bros who could have cared less about the game. In case I ever go to the bar again specifically for a Padres game like I did last night, I need to find a new one.
