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.
Jake shouldn’t be out there in the seventh.
Pitcher’s Abuse Point for 130 pitches is very high.
The same thing was done with Pedro a few seasons back whereupon he was throwing more pitches in a game but with more days off. The results were not an improvement in his performances nor health. Limited pitch count especially when the pitcher is hurt/partially hurt is a wise choice. Today, the Padres made an unwise choice in throwing Peavy out there in the seventh.
I hope this win makes the dodgers sellers, Ive heard names such as Soriano, Abreu and Lee head to LA, if they continue to fall the pads will only have the Snakes and Giants to worry about.
If bellhorn doesn’t hit a 3 run homer here, I quit.
Quit what? Work?
Bye FF
everything. C’mon Mark!
Steve, LA Angels…
I quit lobbying for Bellhorn to be our 3B.
It’s his own fault for leaving the door open for Blummer. Now he’s gonna hit a salami.
No Dodgers
Let’s go Blum. Grand Slam here.
C’mon Blum-py!
OK, I know it was a new pitcher, but strike 1?
Ok, it was a flyout. Just not out of the Stadium.
anyone else notice the little band across the top of MLB.com’s gamecast? 6-1 St. Louis over Colorado…
Hell yeah. Score the runs, work the Dodgers pen.
Peter, I’ve heard Soriano and Lee to the Dodgers, too.
Padres: first sweep of the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in three years.
TW, that was kind-of of tongue-in-cheek, as in, like you said, make the Dodgers sellers – they are now
Thanks, Jose. One pitch, one out. It’d be nice for Brocail to finish with less than 10 pitches.
TW, as soon as I posted it, I knew it came out wrong
Or less than 15. DP! DP!
break out the brooms
Break out the broom! I’m going sweeping! Thanks to all for a great IGD! C-ya till next time!
Peavy: 5-1 lifetime vs. Dodgers.

200+ posts is always money.
Game over. Yeah, the Padres swept the Dodgers. How sweet.
Here comes the Coor Field, the Mile High Petco Park.
Go Padres!
I will enjoy listening to ESPN 710 this afternoon.
Peavy’s on the post-game interview on 1090!
TW, good call. Brocail with only 10 pitches to close out the game.
That works too.
Go Phillies and Nationals!
Peavy just mentioned that Scott Linebrink isn’t feeling well and wasn’t with the team. Peavy wished him well and God’s speed!
Hmmmm…very interest-ink!
Peavy just said that Linebrink is not with the team today…
Anyone know, is he at the Hotel b/c he is sick or is there something else going on?
Peavy just mentioned on the radio that Sottie was not feeling well and was not with the team.
I wonder is thats why he ahs not pitched well in his last 2 outtings, or if it was a cover up and he’s been moved.
Hey, did anyone happen to hear is Scott Linebrink was with the team today and if not, why?
Jake said in his interview after the game that Linebrink was really sick
According to today’s UT…”Linebrink left the team, Bochy said, to attend to a personal matter. His return today is doubtful.”
