The Official Blog of Matt Antonelli: HOW TO RUN ON WATER
'Nelli is slowly going crazy without the ability to play baseball. It's not such a bad thing. -
insidethepadres: Seamhead stuff
"Don't put all of the defeat on Cabrera's two miscues (plus, shortstop Miguel Tejada blamed himself for not catching Cabrera's hot, slightly wide throw). Luke Gregerson threw a fat slider to a hitter with slider-batspeed, and there went the grand slam. Hard to fault Gregerson for using his slider a lot, the pitch has been unhittable for most of the year, but his fastball may be suffering from underuse." -

"That's the way it goes," said Latos. "I did what I wanted to do. I put zeroes on the board and kept it close. But no one can control everything."

San Diego gave up a seventh-inning grand slam to the D-backs in a 5-2 defeat on Wednesday at Chase Field.
Bloom: Latos key for Padres now, in the future | padres.com: News
As the Padres balance the health of one of their top pitchers against the needs of the immediate future, young Mat Latos had four simple words for upper management.
"4 added to Padres roster for Wednesday game" by Padres Scorecard
As expected, left-handed starter Cory Luebke and right-handed reliever Ryan Webb joined the club from Portland on the Sept. 1 roster expansion date and infielder Oscar Salazar was activated from the 15-day disabled list.
Mailbag: Are the Padres Stealing Wins? – Ducksnorts
"In fairness, there is truth in the story. The Padres have been aggressive on the bases. Sometimes it has helped them, other times not so much. Either way, this is part of the narrative and so it is what we have."

wtf is with this losing streak...
Am I right to be worried? Swept by Arizona… and now we still play the Giants/Rockies/Dodgers…
Ugh… I think we need an “Everyone off the Wagon” Thread.. those always seem to snap our skids.
-Zen Blade
Here's the deal
Game 1: Lost the last game against AZ at home. We won the series.
Games 2-3: Close battles with a great team… would have been nice to beat Blankton, but he has times where he is brillient.
Game 4: You are gonna lose to Philly once in a while.
Games 5-7: We are cursed at Chase. We could have and should have won each of these, but I expect to lose every series in Chase… its cursed.
This 7 game skid is more a combination of bad luck, exhaustion, unfortunate scheduling, and a couple bad days, than a reflection of the team suddenly being a bad baseball team.
My 2 cents.

I think they will.
The defense has to get their shit together,

Who wants their shit spread out?

So glad that is a red X.

Soooo pumped for his start!

I'm very excited for Cory.
I’m expecting good things.

We are still in first but . . .
I am a tad bit worried. Our record against SF this year is keeping my hopes up. Hopefully the Dodgers rough up SF this weekend and we can take 2-3 against Col. A good weekend for us and a bad weekend for SF would lift everyone’s spirits I think.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
We need CO to cool down too.

Tough September schedule
Padres have 30 games remaining:
26 vs. teams with winning records & 4 vs. a team with a losing record
and after today…only one day off

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

RE: Antonelli
Isn’t there some sort of contract rider that prevents prospects from participating in activities where breaking one’s neck seems highly probable.
Antonelli is such a goofball.
Love it.
Also, I think ’Tec is gonna die at 2:38 in that video.
I need new pants.
8 weeks?
Matt Antonelli-2B- Padres May. 1 – 8:17 am et
Padres placed 2B Matt Antonelli (hand) on the 60-day disabled list.
Antonelli had surgery to repair his broken hamate bone on Thursday, which will cost him about eight weeks of recovery time. The Padres can now use his spot on the 40-man roster for someone else until he’s ready to resume playing, which will likely be sometime this summer.

There were complications.

tear that sucker out
It is also a common injury in baseball players. A number of professional baseball players have had the bone removed during the course of their careers
from wikipedia
"I post like canned meat."
I just want to say...
That I am pissed we didn’t get a chance to plunk Mark Reynolds that pos.
Nyjer Morgan would have found a way to kick the crap out of that smug prick.

Chase Field=cursed for Luke
Chase Field is kryptonite to #Padres top reliever Luke Gregerson. His ERA is a whopping 189.00 there.
His ERA vs. the Snakes overall this season is 18.90.
I remember the last series in AZ at the end of last season. We were there. He stunk then, too. They own him.
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
They own us collectively at Chase.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Infact this entire season has been about
Playing above average baseball out-of-division, mediocre baseball in division (10-8 vs Dbags? Come on).
And absolutely killing the Giants. We really need them in the Wild Card.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Does Antonelli actually do anything while he's hurt?
Like, does he have a side job? Or does he rehab in the morning and then goof off all day?

I'm sure the later he still gets his paycheck, which I think...
Since he has a taste of MLB, is 300k annually. May only get his minor league salary of 80k.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
80K is pretty good
when all you do is work out and goof off. I wish I could do that for 80K a year.
by Zach (maestro876) on Sep 2, 2010 4:59 PM PDT up reply actions
You only get the ML salary
for time you actually spend in the majors. So if he spends a week in the majors, he gets one week’s worth of a 300K/year salary.
by Zach (maestro876) on Sep 2, 2010 5:00 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't think thats right. I think you get that even if you are sent down or
Go on the DL that year. You spend 1 day in MLB you get MLB salary for the rest of the year. Only money you don’t get is prorated from the beginning of the year. I just don’t know how it works if you spent the previous year… you may not get the MLB salary until you spend time in the bigs that season.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Plus I think its prorated based on the season
Not weeks. If you came up a week before the season ends for the 7 last games, you would be paid for 7/162 games worth of MLB Salary. Not sure how they work out post-season salary.

Postseason shares are voted on by the players.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I think that's just benefits
Like health insurance and such

Sidenote on the Phillies @ Rockies game:
At least the Rockies still have a lolpen. Beimel, Delcarmen and Reynolds combined to put up a 9-spot in one inning. Also, Cargo will be playing outside of his Fortress of Ownitude known as Coors.
In summation, GO PADRES!
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Yeah, the Phillies nearly blew it
Nice to see them overextend their pen before they face the Padres tomorrow :-)
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Oh, hey guise, been away a week whats been going on?--
—OH MY GOD!!!

Very nice
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts
by mrbarneydangles on Sep 2, 2010 10:19 PM PDT up reply actions
This he's got a shot at winning the Cy Young?
He’s gotta be right up there with Ubaldo and Wainwright. He’s definitely been pitching the best since the all star break. What’s he up to now, 14 straight starts without giving up more than 2 runs?

Doesn't matter, really
Wainwright = Cardinals Player = Big Exposure = Cy Young Votes = Cy Young.
Latos could put up pre-June Ubaldo numbers and still all we’ll hear is that we’re “overworking him”. Throw in a Stras reference, obviously a Prior interview, and that will be the article. I could work for ESPN now, jesus.
That's not true.
The Cy Young Award has been won by a NL West pitcher for 4 years straight. And a pitcher from KC won it in the AL last year.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/mvp_cya.shtml
I don’t see any big market bias in the voting.
The number 1 factor in the Cy Young voting
Is wins. Latos doesn’t look like he’ll get enough.
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
Neither winner last year
led the league in wins.
I didn't say they did.
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
You said it is the #1 factor
I’m saying neither winner last year led the league in wins. In fact, the NL winner for the last 3 years has not led the league in wins. If what you said was true, then relievers would never get votes either.
Wonko is wrong!!!!
mark your calendars!
Wonko, that has not been true for several years now.
Lots of recent Cy Young winners have not led in wins.
How am I wrong again?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
You said the #1 factor is wins...
IT IS NOT.
As strummer said above… many many many winners have not led in wins during the last 5-10 years.
I think Ubaldo has no chance.
He doesn’t lead in any of the major categories. He does well in all of them, but not enough for 1st place votes.
I think the race is mainly between Halladay and Wainwright with Josh Johnson and Latos being 3rd/4th currently. However, we have a month to go. So, that can change.
IP = Halladay
SO = Halladay
ERA = Six person tie, essentially 2.25-3.33 (the above four Hudson and Garcia)
WHIP = Latos, Wainwright, Halladay
CGShO = Halladay and Wainwright
And I think Halladay has a sentimental stat going for him as well. He played on the Blue Jays for 12 years.
Cannot wait to see this Luebke kid pitch.

Me, neither
I’m going to the game tonight.
I’m gonna watch him warm up.
