Clayton Richard gives up a billion runs in loss to Rockies

I didn't watch the game, but I didn't need to watch it to know that the Rockies slyly started using the juiced baseballs in the third and fourth innings, instead of in the late innings as they usually do. They are a crafty lot... allegedly.
I know you don't want to walk players in Coors, but pitching to Tulowitzki wasn't a good idea today. He drove in 7 runs including two 3 run homers. Some of you might say that he must have been cheating and maybe he was but I refuse to comment on it.
In other news Adrian Gonzalez hit two home runs, the second a three shot. Everyone can agree that these home runs were not tainted, hit on the up and up, the product of hard work and would have been out of any park in the league. There is a right way to hit a homer and thankfully Adrian does it the right way. I declare a moral victory.
Go Padres!

I followed the game at work.
via gameday… I feel like Tulo is a cheater or the second coming of ARod… so what I mean to say is… Tulo is a cheater or a crazy cheater.

No one wins that way.
Especially not the Padres. Especially not today.

Winning by cheating and/or crazy cheating?
Because the LOLkies totally did. And I base that conclusion on a 100% lack of empirical evidence. :-p
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Yeah, its still a Rockies win
Even if they cheated. The idea that they cheated to do it makes it worse because the loss feels unfair.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Did I hear correctly
that his hair is like that for the kids?
I might be mixing things up…

Apparently the mullet is of his own choosing
Others are/were supposed to don the ‘do for a children’s hospital charity:
Tulo: Actually, there’s going to be a couple of guys on the team that are going to join me with this mullet thing and we’re going to raise money for the Children’s Hospital. It’s going to be a big event to watch for.
Full story here
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Hmm
Why would you choose a mullet?
If you want to do it for charity, just grow it out, don’t go with a mullet.

I would think that a lot of their home field advantage comes from hitting at the bottom of the inning on the moon
If the home team’s pitching implodes, the home team hitters still have a chance to launch one (or a dozen) balls out of Cape Canaveral—-I mean Coors Field.
That’s one hell of a home field advantage. :-/

I think Clay needs to have his stop skipped in the rotation.
Put in CY.

Because he's pitched great for a while, but was stymied by Coors?
That makes sense.

Am I not allowed to jump to irrational conclusions after a loss?
Or are you taking that away from me too Wonko?

I like irrational sarcasm
Not irrationalitiness for the sake of being irrationalitinessish.

Clay should be shut down for the season.
Think about 2011

This is a seemingly irrational season...
Are not irrational statements permissible within an hour or two of a lost… even if they are irrational for the sake of being so? Can you give me that without being Wonk’d? Come on!

Probably not
Such is the nature of Wonko’s wonking.
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
He was doing great though
His 6 starts prior to that were all real solid including starts against Colorado (though on earth) and Philly. Doesn’t mean he/padres wouldn’t benefit from a spot start by CY, but I don’t think he needs it. I’m not sure CY would be an upgrade if he’s lost a couple MPH.

I just hope that the next time the Padres face the LOLkies that they take the damn bat out of Tulo's hands.
The other teams try to do it to Gonzo.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
*and I meant to type Gonzilla but I'm so mad/sad about the loss that I totally forgot
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Anyone else surprised by the Pads decision to pick-up Carrillo again?
I’m mostly concerned because they designated Italiano off the 40-man to make it happen. Apparently they’re happy with their bullpen depth but not starting rotation depth, no matter how crappy.
TBD
I think they still have hope for Carrillo
I would like to see him overcome the injury and be the pitcher that looked like he was on a fast track to the majors.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
I thought they liked Italiano...
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
I imagine
That at this point they are going to make Carrillo into a reliever. That’s what many scouts that he’d become when the Padres drafted him. I think it may be a bit of gamesmanship with Italiano guessing that no one will pick him up.
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
Out of curiosity, do you know how hard Carrillo is throwing nowadays?
I thought he was around 95 with a good curve when drafted, but I have no idea where he is at post-injury
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
When he was up with the Padres last year
His fastball was in the low 90s. He was throwing a curve, fastball, slider and changeup. I don’t know what he got up to this year.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

after re-examing Italiano's numbers again.
thanks to Twitter feed from someone who broke down Italiano’s work (sorry I can’t make exact attribution-@Normandie?) …I am not so confused at to the DFA of today. Though he will be 27 in April, Carrillo no doubt has a “live” arm…
Sooooo Stoked
Ah, it's been a while since I've been here.
It’s always nice to come around. Anywho, just heard Hacksaw on the radio saying that he heard from a reliable source that Saturday’s starter (Lubeke) in St. Louis will be replaced by Chris Young. Has anyone else heard anything about this? That was the first for me.

CY back. Yes
Little surprised that folks are aghast at prospect of CY getting a start. If you have any chance to get CY, a vet pitcher with playoff experience and history of success, you take that step. At 31 years of age, Cris Carpenter, who granted has had a better career than Chris Young, pretty much missed two whole years & came back strong. Though the odds are not great that CY comes back to form quickly, I believe you see now what he has . I like Luebke but it’s not like he is a ’can’t miss’ phenom.

The problem is that CY's velocity is down and he hasn't faced major league pitching since April
He fared well at AAA and dominated a High A start as he should. I like CY, but I’m hesitant to put place too much faith in a recuperating pitcher who was throwing in the mid-80s. :-/
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
So why is Jed Hoyer and Padres brass going to give CY a start ?
After all, his velocity is down and hasn’t faced major league pitching since April.
You give the guy the ball because he has 1st/2nd starter success at this level. You give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise. He obviously knows how to pitch and has pitched in games in October and had success. Yes. you skip Luebke’s start – not even a question.

Plus
if he implodes and only goes two innings or something, Luebke can come in for the salvage or it’s the same as LeBlanc and/or Correia pitching.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
and as others point out, Luebke will get work on Saturday.
CY would only be able to go 4 to 5 innings. St.Louis is really in the dumps. Hope the Pads can finish them off and take 3 of 4.
Sooooo Stoked
