Since striking out 16 Braves on May 22, Jake Peavy is 1-5 with a 7.01 ERA over nine starts. I don’t have any easy answers for his struggles, and I doubt anyone else does either — otherwise he wouldn’t be struggling.
No TV Wednesday afternoon as the Pads go for the sweep in LA before heading to Denver for four against the Rockies.
Following up on a string on Harold Reynolds yesterday. Reynold’s was quoted as saying he did nothing wrong, he hugged a woman who worked for ESPN and the hug was misinterpreted. Sounds like the first rumor was correct.
Looks like a terrific at-bat for Josh there.
Nice AB from Barfield! How can you not like this kid?
I want to have Josh Barfield’s baby.
Jake – nice rippa!
Can I get odds on a Sportscenter anchor saying Peavy “helped his own cause”?
I hope you have wide hips, Vin just said his younger brother is 6′-5″.
Can Jake play 3B?
Three consecutive doubles. That’s wicked.
3 doubles in a row, this is getting fun, now if only Peavy can settle down on the hill.
DR D friggin R
FF are you a chick?
Maybe that’s Jake’s problem — all that extra BP has screwed up his pitching mechanics.
Somewhere in the bowels of Dodger Stadium, Mark Grant can be heard murmuring “crooked numbers, crooked numbers, crooked numbers…”
LOL – Grant’s probably passed out on couch somewhere w/ his hand between 2 pillows.
C’mon, Brian. Time to get fat. Make hay while the sun shines. Pile on. Other cliches.
THOSE AREN’T PILLOWS!!!!!!!
TW, no. Why do you ask?
Nothing wrong with a little man crush, now and again, ask Brian Giles.

Penny’s not gonna make it out of the inning.
The hit parade continues. 4 runs in and no one out. Nice.
damn. that rally died fast.
Dang, that ended faster than it should have.
Hi! Just wanted to post a quick note to introduce myself to Ducksnorts. I’ve been reading for a few weeks and love this site! Finally, Padres fans that are upbeat and don’t pounce viciously over the players and other posters.
GO Padres!
And I, too, wish to have Josh Barfield’s baby. Or Josh Bard’s.
FF, are you saying No you haven’t looked at Peavy’s splits (my question) or No you’re not a woman (Peter’s question)?
StL 4 – Col 0.
If we win today, Colorado loses and then we take 3 of 4 from them, they’ll be 8.5 out.
“Finally, Padres fans that are upbeat and don’t pounce viciously over the players and other posters.”
While many eyes virtually turn towards me across the ether.
Just came back from a run, its frigging hot and humid and I bet LA is worse. But then again I’m not getting paid millions either. Jake looks much better. Three doubles is a witch. Lets keep it going. SDPG, welcome to the marry band of Padres fans.
Peavy for 3B!!
NIce 1-2-3 by Jake, especially after the big inning.
TW: Hey wait until Richard shows up.
I am not a “chick” TW. I have looked at Peavy’s splits. They’re real and they are spectacular!
Maybe I should be posting comments like that over at GaslampBall, eh?
Peavy: 2nd HR of season.
Is anyone listening to the Dodgers radio broadcast (MLB.com). This sounds like Charlie Steiner (sp?).
Why did he leave the Yankees?
Holy Schnikey!
Wait did Peavy just jack another bomb?
4 rbi’s for Jake.
yeah im really open to peavy taking over at 3B at this point.
I hope Penny’s gone by the next time Jake comes to bat, ’cause he’s gonna get one in the ear.
Thanks for the welcome, PM! Is it possible for me to be impregnated by three guys? Now I want Jake Peavy’s baby.
Maybe Peavy should play 3B. He’s got a higher slugging percentage than Vinny now!
I think peavy is sick of not getting any run support so he took it upon himself to changing that
Farquaad: that is indeed Charley Steiner; he moved out to LA to be the Dodgers’ radio voice a couple of years ago. I can’t recall why he left NY.
“Is it possible for me to be impregnated by three guys?”
Uhhhh… What is happening to Ducksnorts?
Hahahaha
FF,
re: “I have looked at Peavy’s splits. They’re real and they are spectacular!”
LOL… thanks for that.
LOL, KRS1! I’m just happy to see what looked to be a very shaky game get busted wide open by my Pads.
jake has doubled his season RBI total within the last 2 innings
Why could Charlie Steiner possibly be lured away from NY to LA…hmmm…I don’t know?
Maybe he prefers a little smog now and again to the constant smell of stale urine.
peavy now has more homeruns than blumer
SD Padres gal is my kind of gal.
