Prediction: There are gonna win sometime. Today might be the day. Wish I was down there, looks like a beautiful day for it.
Go Padres!
Today’s the day we turn things around…
Very nice day for baseball. Nice day for a win.
Must be difficult for Matty to be neutral commentating on national broadcasts.
The Pads have enough cans of corn to stock a bomb shelter.
Nice pop Gonzo.
How do we get that avatar thingy to show up. Went to the site and have one, but it don’t show up.
#5 Turbine Dude,
Its the high strikeout/low walk ratio that sticks in my craw.
It’s having a cleanup guy with a slugging percentage below .300
#7@PM: I had the same problem initially. Click around on that website. There was something that asks if you want to update it or something like that. I can’t remember. But eventually it will show up.
#8@parlo: It’s the fly-outs that stick in my craw.
I hate MLB. I live in Temecula and can’t get this game. I pay for Extra Innings and MLB.TV and I STILL don’t get the game. Poppycock.
#7@PM: Once you are logged on, go to the top of the page and click on Manage. From there you should be able to do what you gotta do.
I just hope Colt doesn’t hit into a dbl play.
Justin’s up, innings over…
#15@Turbine Dude: I stand corrected…thankfully!
Wait… did we just score.?
Oh Justin Germano drove the run in no wonder. I knew a regular hitter couldn’t have been responsible for an RBI.
PMac!!!!!!!!!
That’s how they should be hitting with bases loaded. Location, location, location.
Free P-Mac!
5.5 for Gonzo!!!!!!!!
Thank God for elbow pads.
Holy crap talk about a 2 out rally.
#17@KRS1: Keep being negative… its working haha
Mark Grace isnt as annoying today.
Young got all of that and more. Damn.
#24@SDSUBaseball: Ha. I was just coming here to complain about having to listen to him during a home game for the Padres. I had to mute the broadcast.
Just sat down to watch on MLB.com…Sure, the pads are on Fox, but not in VA. We got the Yanks and indians…fun enough game, but I want to watch my Padres.
But I can’t. National blackout.
Why do I pay $100 per year? The day that the game won’t keep me up until 1 in the morning and I can’t watch. Stupid MLB.com.
They need to get their frigg’n product better.
#26@Ben B.: Well he isnt as annoying because he has to try to be a non-partial announcer.
Nice DP.
#27@Coronado Mike: I hear ya, but its really not their fault. Fox has the exclusive rights to the games there isnt much they can do about it. I dont know if its blocked out for MLB extra innings too. If the seldom fox broadcast of the Padres makes you that upset, maybe you should look into the extra innings package and see if they black out these games. I turned on fox to the Angels as well. I’d rather watch the draft than the Angels.
#23@SDSUBaseball:
Oh I was just being honest. You must have mistaken that for negativity.
#31@KRS1: It was a joke, relax. Regulars were responsible for the next 3 RBIs.
Nice 6-3 play.
#32@SDSUBaseball:
Yeah I was kinda joking as well but I wouldn’t consider P-Mac a real regular. I think he deserves more AB’s!
#30@SDSUBaseball: They need to make a better contract. I buy MLB.com so I can watch the Pads and since the Fox in VA is not showing the Pads game here, I think they need to make it available to me.
It is just another thing that MLB marketing messes up…I think. Although, the only guys that would complain about it are the ones who are baseball fans…real ones that won’t stop frequenting the product just because it is marketed badly.
Sometimes being a baseball fan sucks.
Here’s a way to chime in on a group-think look at the question of “Is Trevor Done?” …
http://www.predictify.com/auctionview.aspx?ID=3873
The question for the group is this: What will be the ratio of the number of Saves + Wins that Trevor Hoffman, pitcher for the San Diego Padres, gets credited with versus the number of Blown Saves + Losses that Trevor Hoffman gets credited with, during the month of May, 2008?
You have until the end of April to weigh in … so far, 19 folks have predicted … and the distribution of preditions so far is pretty mixed.
We’ll see if this helps us learn anything …
#36@LynchMob: I think Trevor has had a helluva career and should retire gracefully and replace Mark Grant in the booth. In a couple of years he’d be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
#34@KRS1: Ya, why not he cant do much worse than anyone else. I am just happy they actually strung hits together.
#35@Coronado Mike: I really dont think its marketed badly. They never market that you can watch EVERY out of market game. I have it too. When you purchase it, they tell you the blackout restrictions there are really no surprises. I am not enjoying that I cant watch it on MLB.tv but I understand it. I have been 100% satisfied with MLB.tv this year. It have been 10 time better than years past.
OG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#37@Turbine Dude: I wouldnt mind Trevor in the booth, but If he retires I think he would had to get away from traveling and start spending the time with his family.
I think it would be cool to hang on to Trevor or Maddux and keep them on staff as a pitching coach or something of some sort.
NIIIICE B-Giles!
#40@SDSUBaseball: Those two definately need to stay with the club in some capacity. Whether it be coaching or in the media.
I understand and don’t disagree with you (except for the 100% thing) SDSU, I just think it could be better…Would not be hard to have the game available to those of us who CAN’T watch it.
#39@Turbine Dude: How well did OG hit the bomb?
#42@Turbine Dude: However, Mad Dog will probably go into the Hall as a Brave.
Yes, it sucks that we can’t watch “national” broadcast games. But hey, at least the Padres only get like 2 of those a year, right? Maybe there is a silver lining to being a small market team that is largely ignored…
Mostly, I’m bummed that I can’t watch the one game that the Padres have had a decent lead in in a while.
#35@Coronado Mike:
Try being an ardent fan of an Olympic sport that nobody cares about during non-Olympic years.
#43@Coronado Mike: Dude, he crushed it! Pitch was in on him and he just let it fly to right.
For those not able to watch, I’ll give as much info as possible.
Runner advanced to 2nd after Morton dropped a bad curve ball pitch.
Ball gets away from Morton again and runner goes to 3rd..
#43@Coronado Mike: No it wouldnt be hard, but I am sure it is Fox that refuses to give it up. MLB.tv would broadcast it if they could.
OG crushed it… If you go on MLB gameday you can watch video alerts. They normally do it for every run scoring play its kind of cool and they put them up fairly quick.
#44@Turbine Dude: Oh ya, a Brave almost for sure, maybe a Cub.
46: Thats 4 HRs he has off Owings now.
