Of course, if you don’t put guys on base, they can’t run on you. Go get ‘em, Jake!
Where are all the people criticizing the seven-man bullpen now?
Crappy Ledezma!
#392@Eric:
Vin Scully, 1988 World Series?
#394@Kevin: #395@Richard: Don’t gimme too much credit, I just googled “shakespeare sleep”, ctrl-C ctrl-V
what’s with Ch. 4′s obsession with Rush?
#400@Eric: and what’s with the Padres’ obsession with Rusch?
396: Still here! I proposed a nickname for Ledezma….Wil “Danger” Ledezma.
Alfonso Marquez, btw. That’s the guy who tried to give this game to the Rockies.
#396@Kevin: Yes, it truly comes in handy for the mountains of 17-inning games we play. I’ll totally never criticize Bud again.
out of curiosity, what do people think of walking this batter to set up the double play and end the inning instead of just going right after him and drawing the infield in?
Very nice play by Iguchi.
#398@Kevin: which anouncer was it that did the call that went “I don’t believe what I just saw!” That wasn’t Scully, right?
Alright, well disregard that whole suggestion.
#407@Eric: Jack Buck.
Ledezma doesn’t want to be the guy who gets cut.
407@Eric: I believe your referencing Kirk Gibson’s HR and yes, I think it was Scully.
#406@Richard: Iguchi has played a fantastic game at second base.
#401@Eric: If we don’t win it here, the obsession will likely be pitching in the 18th.
#405@GTH: I liked the idea of walking him on a couple more pitchouts. Either a)set up double play or b)catch them squeezing
#407@Eric: No, Buck, the older one. He had the radio call for the Gibson homer. On TV, Scully just let the pictures tell the story, which is not the way to go on radio.
I hate these Motoworld commercials. Not hating the Jack in the Box “monkey spaceship” one, though. It’s still sorta funny.
#411@GTH: #409@Jefe: jack buck it is, just googled it
#411@GTH: that call was Buck’s, who was the play-by-play man for the national TV coverage. Scully did home radio for the Dodgers I believe.
…but what do I know. It’s late and I’m tired.
OK, if the Padres don’t score this inning, what are the odds Matty says: “Let’s play two”?
#413@Jefe: Glendon “The Obsession” Rusch. Today’s Tom Sawyer.
Is the bench empty now?
418@Eric: 418@Jefe: Just googled it myself. So Buck gets “I dont believe what I just saw” and “Go crazy Cards fans, go crazy.” Nice…
#418@Jefe: scully was “she iiiiiis gone!”
I think this is the DS equivalent to throwing paper at the camera
#418@Jefe: You have it backward. The radio call is used because Scully said “Deep, deep, back inot the night …” Then silence.
420@Kevin: I’ll take even money
421: Like it.
#424@Eric: There it is. You’re right.
421: I think we have a new nickname.
by the way, I haven’t showered yet either. I’m gonna go to work smelly and tell my boss it’s the ump’s fault.
Damn you Marquez and Hoffman. Damn you.
I’m so sick of Willy Tavares
Enjoy your Matt, we are going 18.
#426@GTH: Wait, did he say it?
Baseball Reference vs. Elias smackdown. Always interesting to see how these play out. I’d go with the underdog, but I’m not sure which one that is anymore.
434: Torrey Pines reference.
2 for 1 night
Rockies game in Houston starts in 17 hours. Our game time in AZ is only 1 1/2 hours later.
97 from Ledezma.
Too bad it was 6 feet off the ground.

No day off until the 28th so using a starter is a precarious situation here.
Wow. That looked like a strike.
another bad non-call by our friend behind the plate. just BRUTAL.
What the hell is going on? If you are going to help one team win, you usually help the home team since if they score, the game is over.
Then the very next pitch is in the same place and it’s called a strike.
Assuming this game gets to a position where we need an emergency pitcher.
