matchup: Brian Lawrence vs Jerome Williams
Geez, could I have waited any longer to get this posted? I defer to Richard for the details on tonight’s contest. I’m not seeing a lot of success on the Padres side against Williams. For the Giants, Michael Tucker and Ray Durham have had the most success. J.T. Snow, too, but he’s not in the lineup.
Anyway, I’ll be lurking this evening: watching the game, making comments, putting together a little something on Sandy Alderson, etc. Feel free to hang out and chat.
In-Game Discussion: Padres vs Giants
by Geoff Young on Apr 18, 2005
first pitch: 7:05 p.m., PT
television: Channel 4
matchup: Jake Peavy vs Brett Tomko
Having been shut down by the likes of Derek Lowe, Scott Erickson, and Jeff Weaver in a weekend sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, the Pads return home and hope to rebound behind Peavy. They’ll try to do it without shortstop Khalil Greene, who is expected to miss at least a month with a broken finger. Good news of a sort comes in the form of Dave Roberts, who has completed his rehab assignment and is expected to be in the starting lineup tonight. What his return means to Sean Burroughs and/or Xavier Nady remains to be seen. Regardless, the hope is that Roberts and his career .335 OBP somehow manage to ignite the Padres offense at the top of the order.
11 GB : 14 FB. 2 K : 0 BB.
That GB:FB ratio has begun improving.
Thanks for stopping by, Lance. See ya next time!
13 GB : 15 FB. 2 K : 0 BB.
8 GB : 5 FB ratio from 5th inning on.
B-Law went 8 strong innings throwing only 98 pitches.
That was a real nice outing from Lawrence. I like the way he bounced back from the one bad inning.
Trevor Time!
Nice 2-game sweep. Now we just need to “BEAT LA!”
And there’s your ballgame. Bring on the Dodgers. Let’s see if we can pay ‘em back.
8 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
That’s excellent.
