Padres look to extend their one-game winning streak in a battle of Cy versus Cy.
Not a good start to the game.
And the joy of listening to Steve Quis. Hello mute.
Always nice to have your ace on the mound, and start with a four pitch walk.
Peavy’s pick off move looks much better than last year
Great…my first game in a while that I get to watch at home and I get the Quiss man…
Oh well…at least Peavy can make E.Burnes silly.
Good start. Edmonds didn’t miss a catch and the DBacks didn’t scald the ball
DeJuan Tribble – CB is the Chargers 6th round pick.
What is with Giles and the first pitch of the game?
That was quick. Let’s have a quick inning Peavy
With the weather being so hot, I’d like to see the Padres work the count more.
Kelly, what is it like in SD right now?
It is 91 with the hot dry wind.
I was just coming here to say how excited I was about today’s game, but yea, excitement has been dampened a little.
Hopefully we’ll bring the bats too…
What Field39 said.
Peavy missed in against Snyder. Snyder hit it to left-center. Not to be negative, but with the Padres typical home offense, I have to wonder if they can get the two runs back.
Wonder if Peavy will whine aboutthat being a Williamsport HR…
Though hot and dry conditions have resulted in some big run scoring days.
Greenie is one of those who seems to do well in warm day games.
That was a frigg’n bomb that Peavy gave up…
Now, KG with a single…
Might be a barn burner…but then I look at the starters and realize we might see a 3-2 game or something of the like.
Nice game last night.
I can just picture Peavy gettin the loss, pitching 7 and striking out 11 and getting one of the Padres 5 hits.
Oh, and Peavy does not have his good control. 51 pitches through 3 innings – with 5 K’s
Looks like Webb is getting a couple of high strike calls
Mark Prior threw off the bullpen mound before today’s game.
Peavy has gone to 3 balls 6 times (?) tonight. Also, 6 K’s now
Through 4 innings:
Peavy:
64 pitches, 38 strikes
4 ground outs, 2 flyouts, 6 Ks
Webb: 3 innings
33 pitches, 22 strikes
7 groundouts, 1 flyout, 1 K
Thank you Orlando. And A-Gon actually took an extra base.
And the corpse with a nice deep fly to get AGon in a SF
Khalil, still allergic to bat control, with a K on a ball in the dirt
#25@kelly in sd: I am curious as to how Jakes’s comments about the Padres needing to get Lofton, played with the corpse.
The Friars got one back this inning and made Webb through 22 pitches.
How ’bout a quick inning Peavy? Let’s get Webb back out in the heat
#27@Field39: I don’t know. The corpse is only hitting .169 and has misplayed a good number of balls. At some point, does pride take over and you retire?
I posted this once before, but seriously could see the corpse doing what Mike Schmidt did in 1989 – retire at the end May with the team doing poorly and he not hitting well.
I missed one. Peavy now has 6 three ball counts (that includes the 3 walks.)
Peavy is seriously angry with himself.
Threw 4.5 innings:
Peavy:
83 pitches, 49 strikes
5 groundouts, 3 flyouts, 7 Ks
1 hit, 3 walks, 1 HR
Webb:
55 pitches, 37 strikes
7 groundouts, 2 flyouts, 3 Ks
2 hits, 1 walk, 1 reached on error
#29@kelly in sd: I am beginning to think it is a Roshambo kind of thing and Ego crushes Pride.
And Peavy with the hardest hit ball of the day – a ripped double down the left field line.
#32@Field39: Ego is Petco as Pride is to Padres hitters.
C’mon AGon. Just a single, put the Padres ahead
Nice to see Agon lay off the change to take the walk
Now, it is up to Kouz.
Why did he pitch to Adrian at all, with a righty coming up? I would think he would of saved the pitches.
Kouz looked bad on that AB. Well, Webb has a good/very good change.
According to Quis and Grant, all of Webb’s 4 Ks are with the change.
Webb now up to 75 pitches, 47 strikes
9 groundouts, 2 flyouts, 4 Ks
Nice pick by Kouz and a quick double play gets Peavy out of the inning with only 6 pitches.
Well, Peavy didn’t copy CY and GIDP. Of course, he didn’t help himself like Germano did, either.
damn..nice play by Jackson to rob OG of a hit..
So was not giving yourself the best chance to score there worth Peavy getting to throw one more inning?
#43@Ben B.: Except Peavy’s one of the better hitters on the team…
#44@Sean Callahan: We joke about this, but just for the record it’s not true. Last year Peavy hit .233/.250/.315 for an OPS+ of 51. Very good for a pitcher, but way below what any bench guy hits.
I think I have seen this game before, like about a thousand times.
#45@Ben B.: Small sample size warning:
2008 OPS+:
Justin Huber: 109
Tony Clark: 69
Scott Harriston: 58
Callix Crabbe: 23
Jody Gerut: -7
Colt Morton: -49
51 doesn’t look so bad, particularly when the bullpen needs the rest.
How does Iguchi not get the bat off his shoulder there?
#48@Mark O: In fairness to him, that pitch was obviously outside.
Tony Clark does no better then Peavy, against, arguably, a worse pitcher….
