Blake Tekotte the catalyst in Padres 2-1 win

PrintBlake Tekotte was the center of the action today. In his first Major League start he crushed a double and a triple past Jayson Werth in right field. He had one of the Padres two RBI. He also had a minor collision in the outfield with a sliding Ryan Ludwick that allowed a double to drop for Jerry Hairston Jr. Even though they've never played the outfield together before, I'm not sure why that makes a difference when you don't call for the ball.
Logan Forsythe was part of today's youth movement and hit a single that should have extended the Padres lead and scored Headley off second if he wasn't so slow. Headley looked like he was out for a morning jog as he rounded third base. At least lean your head back, squint your eyes and pump your arms so it looks like you're trying to run fast.
Tim Stauffer won his first game of the season after 10 starts.
Go Padres!

That reminds me of the other day; I sent my friend Bryce a picture of just the tip.

This makes me so happy.
I thought of this exact scene when I read “pump your arms so it looks like you’re trying to run fast.” And then I look at the comments and HERE IT IS.
I need new pants.
I believe that we will win.
I was on a 3 game losing streak going into this one.
Glad to see it snapped, even if it did take getting rained on again.
The National League West title was all but a lock,
Then they lost 10 in a row, ‘twas like a punch in the jock!

I think Blake just earned himself another start
I wonder if he can play RF…
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
But...but..but...but, chicken
That’s where Denorfia plays!
Why ask a failed romance to come watch your successful one? You know, that's like inviting the Seattle Mariners to a World Series game. It's just weird for everyone.

Just trying to come up with the best photo caption.

Haven't heard his name pronounced yet
Is it like Tay-Cot-Ay?

Blake 'The Snake' Tekotte
He seems to run really smooth and you could just see the confidence in his wheels as he rounded 2nd base. Good win after that weird ass game last night.

seems like the scouting report on Tekotte is
have the RF stand 10 feet from the wall and prepare for screaming liners
Way to go Black!
You finally got a clue and started one of the young guns! Bring up the farm! that should be, as a padre fan, our campaign against the status quo that is the Padres daily lineup. “BRING UP THE FARM!!!”

Things are turning around, though.
All five starters have put up quality starts, back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
And the hitters are hitting balls to the outfield instead of infield grounders.
Now if only they can stop leading the world in runners thrown out at the plate…

I've tried to say Tekotte's name like 100 times this weekend
And I’ve only got it right on the first try like twice. And I KNOW how it’s supposed to be pronounced. My mouth just doesn’t want to say it.
Alcohol was only a factor in ~50% of these efforts.
