Channel 4SD
AM 1090, FM 105.7, XM 189
MLB, B-R
I was so busy whining about sloppy baserunning and the 12-man pitching staff this morning that I forgot to mention Adrian Gonzalez‘s spectacular 3-5 double play in Tuesday’s contest. It was a thing of beauty.
You know what else is a thing of beauty? A win. How ’bout we get one of those tonight…
just noticed humberto quintero (he of the rifle arm) needs to be dealt with by the astros today or passed through waivers. seems like a possible opportunity for the padres to get a good defensive catcher cheap. kinda need one of those right now…
1. Quintero just cleared waivers and has been sent to Triple-A.
Against a lefty like Sanchez I think the team would be better off moving Hairston to center or right and giving Huber the start in left. Giles and Edmonds cannot hit lefties.
3: Edmonds and Giles are both in the lineup. Again, why did they bother to pick up Huber if they aren’t going to use him? So for tonight, they have their worst hitter batting fifth right behind their best (at least against lefties). Plus Bard, who killed lefties last year, batting 8th. Weird lineup construction.
WTF..no channel 4 game tonight on Directv?
WTF…No Pre-Game on Ch. 4???
<—on hold with Cox, as I’m sure many are right now!!!!
well this sucks…i get espn news on the other Padres channel on directv…i’m stuck with the Giants announcers
time warner – on hold also
Channel 4 is experiencing ‘transmission difficulties.’ Please stand by.
ahhh..this is much better
time warner is now on. Missed first two outs.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well I get to listen to 1090 and watch Giants feed … only get ch4 feed if it is a home game or the home team is not broadcasting like last night …. ch4 not on Dir Tv
Channel 4 is on directv if you get the baseball package
For the effing money I pay Cox every month, this better not happen again.
what channel ??
Looks like the Offense picked up right where they left off last nite.
#14: Sue, FM105.7 sounds better than 1090.
#17: channel 745
19 .. I have to listen to the mlb computer audio … I am up in San Bernardino
20 .. THANK YOU
#21: Gotcha
Back in town…..watching canal cuatro. Let’s please get a win tonight.
Well Giles and Edmonds certainly didn’t prove me wrong there first times up.
how many times can we strike out tonight?
#24: WB Jon.
How does Edmonds drop that?
Jim Edmonds is going to have to start playing at least average defense because this crap isn’t okay.
will Edmonds ever catch one of those… ?
really missing Cameron in center right about now
Edmonds, your career is calling. It’s time to give it up. He just doesn’t have it in the field anymore.
And what’s the deal with this ump’s strike zone? Pitches at the knees aren’t strikes, I guess. He’s done it to both pitchers.
Padres pitchers have really worked on their pick off moves, huh?
Seven batters faced, seven balls in play…
come on double play
looks like Tigers are gonna get a win
37: That’s a damn shame.
35.. in play no problem as long as they are outs
A real quick check of QERA shows Germano with an ugly 5.74 and Sanchez with a ridiculous 0.18.
The Giants are a good team to use a let them put the ball in play strategy against.
39: You can’t count on a .222 BABIP, though.
What happened on the Edmonds error? Would it have been a difficult catch?
20: Thanks for the tip. I was on 746 with the Giants guys. It’s cool they have both tonight.
Winn almost managed to miss that.
So Hairston was tossed for telling the ump to “ask for help” on a check swing call. Wow.
#43: Very makable catch.
#46: Ditto
I think Josh Bard’s high socks make his knees appear higher. It helps him get the calls on the low strikes.
Keep the bunt on with a 3-0 count?
48: You think?
