Moseley dislocates shoulder, Hudson dislocates brain and Padres lose.

If you're going to lose a game. I can think of less entertaining ways to do it.
Dustin Moseley had his non-throwing arm dislocate for the second time this season during a game. Apparently his arm is being held in place by silly putty. He slashed a base hit to right field then collapsed in a heap in the fetal position at home plate gripping his shoulder. Then with the courage of a winged griffin he rose from the dirt and galloped to first base. At some point on his way to first base the arm snapped back into place. Bud Black said that within 45 seconds Moseley was experiencing minimal pain and had strength back in his arm. "He was adamant he was fine." said Black. And so he continued to pitch.
Later in the 6th inning Bud Black let Moseley try to bunt for a base hit with a runner at 3rd and 2 outs. After all he couldn't swing the bat. Shockingly that plan didn't lead to a Padres run.
The one they call Lil' Buddy, Orlando Hudson, also had a major gaffe during the 6th inning. He caught a ball behind first base with runners on first and second, but mistakenly thought he had recorded the 3rd out and threw the ball to a ball girl. The ball girl threw the ball out of play to a fan in stands.
As a result the runners advanced two bases and scored a run. Fans booed because they wish they hadn't been cut from their High School baseball team or at least that's what Hudson was telling himself.
(g) Two bases when, with no spectators on the playing field, a thrown ball goes into the stands
Bud Black commented on the misplay by Hudson in his post game press conference "He thought there were 2 outs. You don't see that a lot from upper echelon players." But what about players like Orlando Hudson? Answer the question Black!
With 2 outs in the 9th Jesus Guzman hit what would have been a meaningless home run if it didn't saved the Padres from yet another shut out. So there's that.
In other non-game related news. Every broadcaster on TV and radio was singing the praises of Ball Woman Nina for catching a foul line drive. Coach Kentera even awarded her the Catch of the Game. Puh-lease. We used to sit near her and she would always interfere with fans (us) getting foul balls and holding court with all the fans that suck up to her. It was so annoying, but that's a rant for another day.
Go Padres!

That was a good catch. Full grown men were diving out of the way behind her.

Went to a bar and watched the game tonight… Made the bartender switch the game from a Boston Game with three GOONs watching it, to the Padres… And later regreted doing so. I am a Padres faithful.. BUT?!? This season is something else, im waiting forthe team to have a ten or twenty game win streak and be the talk of baseball to only loose a tie breaking 163 game of the season!!!

Sorry I missed it
Teaching all day about football doesn’t seem as entertaining as this game.
queen of the rec fairies
I don't think Rule 7.05 applies
O-Dog didn’t throw the ball into the stands, the ball girl did. I think it should be Rule 3.15, dealing with interference by on-field, non-playing employees of the home team. When the interference is intentional, it’s treated like fan interference, and the umpires place the runners at their discretion. So, giving them two bases wasn’t necessarily right, but wasn’t necessarily wrong either.
They probably applied 7.05
Because Hudson’s intention was to throw it in the stands and the end result was it got there.
I've heard of not being able to hit the broad side of a barn
But if he tried to throw the ball into the stands, and missed, that’s almost as sad as not being able to count to three.
I guess the umpires discretion
was that the purpose was to go into the stands (indirectly) and therefore that was the penalty applied

If that was the ruling
It was wrong IMO. There’s nothing in the rules about intent to throw the ball into the stands (99.99% of the time when somebody throws a live ball into the stands, they don’t intend to do it).
Do we know that they applled 7.05? If they applied 3.15, they would have put the runners where they most likely would have been if the ball girl had gotten out of the way. Guzman would have had to chase the ball down, and the runners very well could have advanced two bases (I’m not sure if they had already taken off by that point).
rule interpretation
if it was easy, everyone would be doin it shawty.

Hey lil buddy
you’re welcome to come out and make a routine defensive play and manage to make it look uglier than your un-routine defensive play that had you leaving the game on a stretcher.
Go ahead. If it was easy, you’d be doing it.

Seriously
We need to send this guy to kindergarten for a few days. He might learn a whole bunch of stuff he’s never heard of before… like the number 3.
THe only redeeming feature about the game...
Was it was over quickly. Or at least it was looking like it, until Neshek threw up all over the 9th inning – something like 40 pitches, Saunders was under 100 for the whole game.
Awesome HR from Guzman, at least no shut out.
If counting to three was easy, everyone would be doing it.
Bud got pretty solidly booed for putting a one-armed batter out with a man on third – I know it’s saving the bullpen, but it still looks like capitulation.
Respect to Moseley, that looks like it hurt. I’ve seen him do that twice this season, maybe I should stop going to his home starts.
I love how the UT is confused as to why people "inexplicably booed"
When Mosley fouled out on a third bunt. UT when players make stupid outs (like bunting foul out, stupid plays, or are just plain stupid like O-Dog, fans boo. Get over it. You think the Yankees aren’t boo’ed in NY or the Sox not boo’ed in Boston. Some real fans often boo when they’re pissed their beloved team is playing like a half assed sideshow. If anything I think it shows a level of dedication to the team to be so frustrated with them and interested enough in how bad they’re doing to let them hear it. Frankly the Padres need more booing as it would mean we’d have more people who actually care about what the Padres are, or aren’t doing.

I don't think they were booing Moseley
They were booing the decision to send a guy to the plate who couldn’t swing a bat.
exactly
dont see the point of booing moseley and i think you have to be kind of cold to do so. By that time in the game, lift him bud.

Is it September yet?
Can’t wait to see the farm, that’s about all I have to look forward to.

The words of a veteran leader
"It’s funny," said Hudson of the play that was roundly booed. "It was just a mistake. I just lost track man … you lose track of the outs. I’ll see it on replay later and laugh."
Exactly why I want this loser gone
He’s in this for nothing more than a paycheck. He has no drive, he’s not angry with himself as he should be, didn’t pull himself from the game, nothing… he thinks it’s funny. Guess what asshat, it’s not funny. And no, professional ballplayers do not lose track of outs. That’s like a nuclear technician saying, “I just lost track of the core temps man, after we clean up after this meltdown we’ll laugh.” Guess what O-Dog, you’re paid handsomely to play a game, the least you could do was play it the best of that “God given ability” you were harping about earlier in the year. Because right now you’re making mistakes a drunk playing softball wouldn’t make.
Everyone makes mistakes
but the comments about laughing it off are a disgrace. He’s just cruising through the season, enjoying the San Diego weather and cashing a paycheck. We don’t need this guy’s bad influence on the young players. I hope he’s traded for a rosin bag, or outright released.
The mystery of why the veteran leader plays for a different team each year...
Starting to be less of a mystery.
right?
i was so pissed when he did what he did, but if he came out, apologized, was contrite, upset with himself, stand up and say that cant and shouldnt happen, and it wont again, now I need to make sure my focus is on this game and ensuring Im doing all we can to win…Okay I’d forgive it. But to joke around like it was Beer League Softball game and he’s never played the game before? Im so done with him

I'm starting to think...
that the guy is just not very bright. Not only because he lost track of the outs, but because he’s not smart enough to know that he should at least pretend to be contrite.
If the Pads can’t dump him on anybody in a trade, maybe they can tell him that he lost count of how many years are left on his contract, and that he’s done at the end of the year.

hahaha
I wish they could dump him not sure if any teams that would take him so i like the idea of losing count of how much and how long he should be paid.
I didnt get to hear the audio, but I’ve heard Jed Was displeased with O-Dogs comments after the game. Hope someone can relay a transcript to me

gotta admit
I’ve been tuning this team out. I want to watch, badly. I just can’t.
Season. Over. (See that? Periods between words for emphasis, so you know that I’m serious.)

It's gotten that bad for me too
I had seasons for this game, and ended up at Dublin Square downtown instead having beers and doing trivia (time better spent IMO after watching the game on the TV (until they tuned it out at the bar after O-Dog’s gaffe)). I’m sure I’ll trade my tickets in for the trade in night next month. Maybe by then we’ll have more of the farm up here and O-Dog will have been traded for a player who actually cares.
don't be afraid to thow in some periods between words

Example: Orlando. Hudson. Is. A. Clown.
Orlando Hudson is a clown doesn’t pack the same punch.

I'm so done with this year's team.
I used to go out of my way to watch the games on TV. Now I only watch if I’m really desperate for entertainment. I have season tickets, so I still attend like I did last night, but it’s getting tedious and its definitely not worth the expense. I loathe Orlando Hudson and there are very few players on this team that are worth cheering for. Remember last weekend when downtown was filled with happy people? What a difference a few days can make. Watching this team actually puts me in a bad mood. I think I’m going to make the switch to satellite early as an excuse to not have to see any more of this.
Directv or Dish?
And I agree, it’s getting really hard to watch now that they’re barely trying. There are a few bright spots, Jesus, Maybin, Deno, Headley, Mosley when his arm isn’t falling off. But the more expensive pieces, Ludwick, Hudson, Bartlett are just disappointing and in many cases actually costing us games with ineptitude.

i may watch again this season
After they’ve rid us of Hudson.

Listening to Darren Smith's interview of Jed this afternoon
it was nice to hear that Hoyer was genuinely upset when he heard Hudson laughed about the incident. He said something along the lines of “that is unacceptable”, now we’ll see if any punishment is doled out for the action, but I appreciate that the GM recognizes this type of behavior is not what we need on our squad.
TBD
