IGD: Padres vs Dodgers (13 Jun 06)
Tue, Jun 13, 2006
by Geoff Young
first pitch: 7:05 p.m., PT
television: Channel 4SD
matchup: Chan Ho Park (3-3, 4.36 ERA) vs Aaron Sele (3-0, 2.33 ERA)
previews: Padres.com | SI.com | ESPN
Padres are 16-18 at home, Dodgers are 16-14 on the road. It’s called “home field advantage” and the Pads don’t use it. They’ve been outscored by 29 runs in 34 games at Petco Park. Two members of the everyday lineup, Josh Barfield (.186/.225/.230 in 113 AB) and Vinny Castilla (.138/.189/.161 in 87 AB), have been completely useless at home. With the division tightening up headed into summer, now would be a good time for the Padres to figure out how to use this park to their advantage.

Who’s in da house tonight?
June 13, 2006 at 7:21 pm
I’m here and I’m stuck listening to the talk show that is Vin Scully. I’ve got the over/under set at 50 for the number of mistakes that he makes tonight. He’s already called Sele…Chan Ho Park and called Qualcomm Stadium, Qualco Park…

Bases loaded, one out, A-Gonz flies out to left. Not deep enough to get Cameron home from third. Sigh.
June 13, 2006 at 7:22 pm
Thank you, Rafael Furcal.
June 13, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Castilla clears the bases with a double off the wall in center. Unreal.
June 13, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Are you kidding me? Vinny Castilla just cleared the bases with a double? I guess I should leave the room every time that he bats…
June 13, 2006 at 7:26 pm
too bad…Chan Ho hit that ball hard… nice start anyways… 4-0 is nice after 1..
June 13, 2006 at 7:32 pm
It was nice to see Vinny wait for his pitch this time — the first one.
June 13, 2006 at 7:40 pm
That was Castilla’s third extra base hit at home this year. He drove in more runs on that one pitch than he had in 87 previous Petco Park at-bats.
June 13, 2006 at 7:45 pm
Sele is at 48 pitches after 2 innings.
June 13, 2006 at 7:46 pm
That puts him on pace for about 216 should he finish the game…
June 13, 2006 at 7:50 pm
Quick work for Park. He’s at 32 pitches after 3 innings.
June 13, 2006 at 8:01 pm
Beautiful job on the 3-6-3 DP. Wow. Furcal on first, Lofton at bat; that’s not easy to turn.
June 13, 2006 at 8:04 pm
Vinny Castilla must read the comments on the site
June 13, 2006 at 8:07 pm
Cameron is having himself quite a night…
June 13, 2006 at 8:07 pm
Man, I love watching Cameron run the bases.
June 13, 2006 at 8:08 pm
And Giles pops out on the first pitch — up in his eyes.
June 13, 2006 at 8:10 pm
Dave Roberts has more extra base hits this year than Brian Giles, in fewer at-bats.
June 13, 2006 at 8:16 pm
Hey…the Vinny we all know is back.. dammit…
June 13, 2006 at 8:23 pm
Dallas Mavericks up 9 after 3 quarters if anyone cares…
June 13, 2006 at 8:27 pm
Nice try by Giles…but the right call… now Chan Ho has to pitch out of this…

DONG….DONG….DONG…DONG…
Only needs a single to hit for the cycle…
June 13, 2006 at 8:43 pm
If this was a video game Cameron would have flames coming off him. I don’t think he’ll get the cycle, he’s too hot for a measly single.
June 13, 2006 at 8:45 pm
First-round pick Matt Antonelli is in the TV booth.
June 13, 2006 at 8:47 pm
We should play against Sele more often.
June 13, 2006 at 8:47 pm
Antonelli will start his career at Eugene.
June 13, 2006 at 8:51 pm
Tony Gwynn asked him what his strengths were, and Antonelli’s first words were “plate discipline.” He also mentioned “getting on base” at least twice. I like him already.

EY goes yard? This is getting weird.

Cameron draws a walk. So much for that.
June 13, 2006 at 9:44 pm
we need a really big rally so that Cameron can bat again…
June 13, 2006 at 9:45 pm
I mean we need the Padres to have a big rally…so that Cameron can bat this inning…
June 14, 2006 at 8:12 am
Didn’t see the game.
But I agree with Geoff. Seeing Cameron run is exciting.
Was at the Marlins’ game and when he hit that triple along the third base line, whew, he flew. Very exciting.
And he can field. Definitely a plus for the Padres.
Go Padres!
