Sometimes you get insight here at Ducksnorts; other times, you get whatever the heck this is. Go Padres!
Okay, time for another late game Padres special!
Bochy’s got to figure his best chance to win is to keep Cain in the game.
Well, Cain does have a no-hitter going. So, you don’t want to pull a guy who has a no-hitter. Gotta keep him in to get that no-hitter.
In the words of Borat: Great Success!
When was the last time two pitchers from opposing teams went 9 innings in a no-hitter?
Tony G just summed it up best saying that bochy doesn’t like to bunt…how the hell do you not bunt the guy over in that situation since he alread did just that earlier in the game
That pays such great dividends down the line…sticking with CY, having the confidence in him. Just like Jake on Sunday. That’s Buddy taking a risk that he hopes will pay off in August and September, when guys don’t feel like they have to make a perfect pitch or be pulled.
Correction, scoreless game
Freaking fantastic Ks that inning by CY.
It’s time to break this thing open. How about getting Hoffy a save?
Go Greene!!!!!
gone NO HITTER AND WHO ELSE BUT GREENE ……
THANK YOU KHALIL
Attaboy, KG!
Who switched seats? nice.

Too bad he didn’t go for third.
NOW LET’S PLAY SOME BALL PADRES!!!!
That’s my boy. Way to bust up the no-no!
I got up and pulled another beer from my keggorator. Maybe I should drink more beer.
We need Branyan to pull one to the right side to get Khalil to 3rd..
yup, all that sutff I’ve been writing about KG going the opposite way… I was just kidding…
let’s go Vi-ggo, let’s go
let’s go Vi-ggo, let’s go

Schmidt went on the DL?
Russel wants to bring that man home…he’s hacking. I don’t have a problem with that either.
I’ll have two for you Mark!
cain is loosing ball control quickly
Thanks man… I had too many this weekend ot have any tonight and besides..it would be bad luck to start drinking now..
272: Is that another new nickname? I love it.
Now I think we bunt…
somethin’s brewin
His arm is turning to rubber.
Great at-bat by Branyan. C’mon, guys.
way to go CAIN ….
GO go go Cruz ….
279: Cain hasn’t had control all night.
There’s only one man who can come through in a time like this.
AND THAT MAN IS CRUDGE!
They don’t want Cruz turned around…Cain will stay in.
i still like the bunt idea here…
Problem is, if Cruz bunts, they bring in the lefty and we’re stuck with Blum trying to drive the run in.
That was sweet…
nice Cruzzzzzzzz
Why oh why is Geoff Blum on-deck?
Beautiful bunt by Cruz.
288L nicely said.
sweet. Crudge bunt.
Kids, are you watching? That was a perfect bunt.
Yeah, for the new guys here… we hate Blum.
You’ll see why in a second here.
Blummer with a Sac Fly…. you heard it here first…
Good call by Bud Black.
