    No OG in the line-up today. Nice comeback win last night. Boomer and Trevor looked good. Let’s hope Jake is on his game this morning.

    This is a bizarre lineup.

    Good punch by NOG to start it off.

    Nice RBI for Cruz.

    Khalil and Adrian didn’t look so great on those ABs.

  10. Phantom Says:

    Dodgers won, so did SF, so the top three in the West stayed the same.

    Arizona lost, so they’re 3 out now. They caught fire and flamed out so quickly.

    I still don’t think the Giants and the Dodgers stay healthy all year. And it’s not a good thing that the Giants brought up Linceum.

  11. Turbine Dude Says:

    10: Thanks. Hopefully a Padre win today and a Dodger loss, we can knock them out of first place. I’m flipping back and forth between SD4 and TBS in-between innings trying to keep abreast of this.

    10: yeah, seriously interested in seeing how this Giant’s pitcher performs. Seems like a real stud.

    The North County Times debated this morning rather the Pads should demote Kouz or not.

    Wrote Sports Editor Loren Nelson, who says they should keep Kouz: I’m not sure what the difference is between a “good at-bat” and a lousy one when they all end up in outs.

    Huh?

    He also said: The Padres were mining fool’s gold when they traded slick second baseman Josh Barfield to get a guy whose big-league career consisted of 16 games and a .214 batting average.

    Barfield is a nice young player but “slick”?

  21. Phantom Says:

    I wonder if Jake was pissed about getting the sacrifice sign, especially with Sledge at 2nd. Probably not, though. Jake’s a team guy and seems to do whatever the team needs of him to win.

    Ugh. We needed a big hit there to break it open.

    Olsen is going to rattle himself up there. No need to take big swings with this guy all over the place.

    Yes!!! Take advantage of those mis-cues!!! We’re certainly playing the smallball this series.

    Olsen is falling apart and rightfully pissed at the ump. We couldn’t ask for much more.

    33: The announcers made a good point, though. It’s not like you’re pitching to Barry Bonds, you’re pitching to Rob Bowen. Why nibble?

    A nice 33 pitch inning for Olsen.

  37. Phantom Says:

    Jake, throw strikes. Let them put it into play.

    Current score: 0
  38. Ben B. Says:

    The Marlins umpires are arguing for a variable strike zone based on the hitter at the plate. That’s a horrible argument. And the Bowen strikes weren’t strikes; it was the Kouzmanoff ball four they should be complaining about.

  41. Phantom Says:

    39: I think the more important point is that Jake seems to be challening the Marlins hitters more, and that Olsen is almost afraid to throw to the Padres.

  42. Mark O Says:

    The Marlins announcers are doing everything but throw a black cat on the field to jinx Jake at this point

    Current score: 0
  43. Ben B. Says:

    Marlins announcers talking about how well Jake is pitching already. They started after 4 2/3. Jake’s really going to have to keep the pitch count down if he wants to go more than 7.

  51. Ben B. Says:

    What are you talking about, TD? His play was ruled an error. The next batter hitting the ball cleanly into center field for a hit ended the no-no.

  52. Brian Wilmer Says:

    I’m not sure which whiny group of Marlin announcers is worse - Rich Waltz and Tommy Hutton on TV, or Roxy Bernstein and Dave Van Horn on the radio. Braves fans continually use umpires as excuses for bad performances, and now it’s spreading across the East.

    Current score: 0
  53. Phantom Says:

    Yeah, KK made a great play on that to keep it from being a hit.

    Nothing Cameron can do on that hit by Uggla, he just smoked it.

    Current score: 0
  54. Ben B. Says:

    Also, with Jake’s high pitch count, he probably wouldn’t have been able to finish it. And he hadn’t even finished 6 innings yet.

    Current score: 0
  55. Turbine Dude Says:

    51: Sorry, what I meant to say was that KK cost us that run. If it weren’t for his error, that batter wouldn’t have been on in the first place.

    Current score: 0
  56. Ben B. Says:

    It kinda looked like Cameron wanted to make the great play on Uggla’s liner to save the no hitter instead of taking the better angle to the ball to keep it from turning into a triple.

  71. Ben B. Says:

    70: You don’t think it’s exciting for the pitcher to strike out 9 guys in 6 innings, carrying a no-hit bid into the 6th? It’s a bad game to complain about the Padres being boring.

  72. Phantom Says:

    71: Agreed. It’s not like they’re getting blown out. They’re making the most of their chances today and Jake is being Jake.

    78: I’m watching the Padre game. Owens (Henry, the Marlins’ closer) throws from his ear like a catcher. Lindstrom has upper 90s heat and a devastating breaker.
