Padres force extra innings then let Reds score a billion runs

PrintJon and I went to last night's game. It was our 4th game of the Padres first home stand. There were moments of pure ecstasy where we thought we were about to witness the first walk off win of the 2011 season. On the flip side of the coin, there were brutal moments where we were eating really gross $13 steak sandwiches while the Padres struck out with the bases loaded and the Reds dropped 6 runs on us in the 11th inning.
- At the start of the game it didn't look as if Clayton Richard would last long. His first pitches were all lined hard into the outfield. Fortunately the Padres were able to escape from trouble only allowing one run. After that Richard settled in. The game was afoot.
- Have you noticed that Padres pitchers are having a tough time throwing the ball to bases. On Sunday Aaron Harang, with plenty of time, lobbed a ball about 10 feet over the head of Chase Headley. If you remember Richard had a butt load of trouble at the end of last season throwing to the bags as well. He almost threw another ball away again last night. Tom Krasovic goes into more detail about his yips on his blog.
- I think the most exciting moment of the game for me was when Alberto Gonzalez hit a triple and then tried to take home on a throwing error. We were seated on the third base side and I was swinging my arm and screaming "RUN YOU S.O.B. RUUUN!" Then he was thrown out by about 30 feet. I shouldn't be a third base coach.
- The most shocking moment of the game came when the Reds decided to intentionally walk Ryan Ludwick with runners on base. Has anybody in the history of baseball ever been intentionally walked when they are batting .097? Dusty Baker is crazy.
- Sure it's early, but I was thinking today about my gut feeling about Brad Hawpe when the Padres signed him earlier this year. Hoyer really doesn't want to rush Anthony Rizzo through the system, but as a counterpoint I don't want to watch Brad Hawpe hit.
- As I said, the game had moments where you thought the Padres might prevail because Cameron Maybin, Nick Hundley, Orlando Hudson and Alberto Gonzalez all had big hits, but the team made enough mistakes where none of that mattered.
- We met Pad Squad Erin for the 4th time last night. It was like the first time for her because she didn't remember us.
- We also ran into fellow Padres Blogger Kaybee from Unfinished Business. After the game she told us that she was fired up to write about "Cory" and she was going to "let him have it". We were like "Do it! Corey Brock deserves it."
- We tried the steak sandwich at the Food Network cart, behind Section 121, that came highly recommended by Gaslamp Ball's own matthewverygood.
"The Food Network steak sandwich is amazing" - matthewverygood
"13 bones but worth it." - matthewverygood
Jon and I both agreed it was kinda disgusting. In fact I made the bold claim that I'd pay someone $13 if they would have stopped me from eating it. I was going to get a picture of the sandwich but Friarhood Steve distracted me with his tales of blogging and I forgot. Let me paint you a picture with words instead. The sandwich is fried steak on a roll with a quart of blue cheese dressing poured on top of it. Just thinking about it now I had to take a few deep relaxing breaths so that I wouldn't gag. I tweeted matthewverygood that his sandwich didn't live up to the hype. His response:

He'll just blame it on the sandwich

Let's face it, baseball is a business
and no one in their right mind will pay money to watch Brad Hawpe play. Dude needs to go, at least to the bench.
I'm hoping Blanks or Rizzo can force their hand
Of course, Rizzo belongs right up there with Team LOB if his last few games are any indication…

Hawpe isn't getting unlucky like Ludwick.
Hawpe is striking out 40+% of the time. That’s bad. Compare that to Ryan, who isn’t even striking out 20% of the time, he’s just got a miniscule .080 BABIP.

.080
how is that possible, isn’t that like .240 points below average?

Yeah Ludwick should be hitting like .250
He’s had 40 PA’s with a babip of .080. If he had a babip around his career average .305 he’d be hitting about .250 with an obp of .400.
I can think of 5 or 6 times when Ludwick’s hit the ball hard for an out.
Ludwick’s just been snake bit. You could see the frustration on his face last night after lining out in the 9th or 10th, whenever it was.

We need a Left Fielder
and a Platoon 1B who can hit the damn ball… Seriously, could blanks possibly hit worse than .138? And Sneaky Pig worse than .094? I know its a small sample size, but our middle of the order is poop… and rally killers. Ludwick has to stop hitting balls hard to the warning track and start swatting line drives into the gaps Hudson and Maybe style.

Thank you
You read my mind. I thought Hoyer put together a team that could play at Petco. I think Ludwick will come around if he stops trying to hit the ball out. Hudson is playing like he knows the park and Hawpe…well I’m not giving up on him yet, but my patience is not endless. I promise not to jump off the band wagon ever, but that game first made me mad then very very sad.

I think it's a good Petco team: Fast and defense-oriented
They just need to stop giving away outs like Herpes, whether by making errors on the field or getting caught stealing.

True... I feel like we have been running outself into too many outs.
I like the aggressiveness, but in games like this, it costs us a win.

Plus, a lot of those calls were close ones that just didn't go their way.
I could have sworn Will was safe on that infield hit
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Yeah, the whole team has had some bad luck
It seems like every time there is a call at a critical moment that could go either way it goes against the Pads.
If a couple hits fell in, or calls went their way the Pads could easily be 8-2 right now.
They’ll come around. Last year after 10 games I’m pretty sure they were 4-6.

He created the “Hoffman” for “Ill-Gotten Saves”. and then later admits he eats children, kicks dogs and burn coal in his back yard just for the hell of it.

its hard to see the stuff about the children and coal. You have to print it out and use Lemon Juice and read it against the light of a candle, Benedict Arnold style.

ESPN is the worst... THE WORST
Their “insider” crap really annoys me.
"We fight, we claw, we hang around. We find a way to do it." - Cam Maybin
Their Fantasy Baseball coverage is really really good.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
It seems oddly contradictory as well
Since he admits in the article that Hoffman is one of the top three closers of the era…
I'm not an ESPN Insider
So I have no idea what Keith Law is talking about.

he is basically saying he hates the “save” as it doesn’t show performance and needs context. So he created a stat called “the Hoffman” when you give up at least 1 run and record a save. He then names it after Hoffman who received the most (53), but that is more indicutive of his longevity.
He then talks about how tasty BBQ kids taste as he reads Karl Marx.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
So, in other words...
…he’s a douche.

It was an odd game
They hit the ball hard all night, got a ton a runners on late and wound up with nothing to show for it. It was extremely frustrating, but it was more about the randomness of baseball than LOFT.
I was yelling at the TV and my laptop was in serious danger last night,
but in the light of day it looks different. They hit the ball hard and it didn’t fall.
if we played this homestand in another ballpark i feel we would ahve won more games
wait silly me, i dont “feel”
canadas marriage is like their money, or military, no one takes it seriously
Rockies fan here. I hope you don't mind a chime in on Hawpe
Last season was an anomaly for him. He’s a streaky hitter and by streaky I mean goes in longer swoons and sustains longer successes. I’ve seen most of his AB as Padre, and he his starting to hit the ball(when he hits it) with some good authority. Last night he was just plain robbed. I wouldn’t freak out just yet. Give it about 10 more games before hitting the panic button :)

Hawpe has 29 ABs
you need at least 100 PA before you can tell anything*

Really
Is there anyway that ludwick, hawpe, and headly don’t have to bat in the middle of the lineup. That’s 2 K’s and a flyball everyime they come up.
No, it's never true!
It’s one of those things you just don’t say, like “What’s the worst that could happen?”. You say it, and then you get hit by a car or a giraffe or a meteor! Don’t you watch TV?!
THAT COMMENT THERE is
HEEELARIUOS. yea. LJSD not a good idea dude
Pardon me, While I burst, Into flames!
