#47@Bryan S: Ya, not sure why that happens. i love in Irvine though, so I am really never blacked out unless it is an LA game or a national game. If you live in Temecula I wouldnt bother if you get Ch. 4. You will only miss the few games they take off each year, and you are blacked out anyway.
#48@Steve C: When Crabbe has started he has done fairly well too though.
#51@SDSUBaseball: I actually live in Temecula but I’m in San Marcos for school today…I was hoping they’d lift the blackout, but no dice. Usually I don’t have a problem, I have Extra Innigns too and between the two of them I pretty much get every game…
#49@Stephen: Ya I dunno if I would. I dont see him as much of an improvement over Crabbe right now and its nice to see Crabbe get a start here and there.
#47@Bryan S: Because you are in SD, you won’t be able to watch games…I had the same problem last year and it was only worth it b/c I travel so much for work. If I was still in SD and did not travel 5-10 days a month, I would not have renewed…
#44@SDSUBaseball: Thanks.
Come Wil one good pitch and your out of the jam.
#52@Bryan S: Do you get Ch. 4 out there? Extra Innings and MLB.tv. Thats some coin there man.
#50@Bryan S: They are talking about him possibly being hurt. When Carlyle bunted they said he took and awkward step at the end.
it looks like he is ok now though. A big K to end the inning.
Nice work by Wil to get out of it, he’s having control problems though…
I am not in favor of Ledezma’s stratagey there, but the result was ok.
#56@SDSUBaseball: No, we don’t. My parents pay for Extra Innings though…
Nice that Ledezma was able to work out of trouble there, but I hope he keeps these guys off the bases for the next couple of innings at least.
#58@Bryan S: His control was solid the first 2 innings. I think he got a little shaken up trying to get to that bunt.
Giles with a mighty 2 out walk!
Why try to steal with Giles? When was that considered a good idea?
OG what are you doing trying to steal??
64: With 2 outs it’s worth it, imo, to try to get him into scoring position. Even if it doesn’t work, which it didn’t, you still have your 2, 3, 4 hitters coming up next inning.
#65@Kelly in SD: I guess maybe he thought he had the element of surprise going for him.
#66@Pat: I dont think it is ever worth it with Giles.
#65@Kelly in SD:
Is that the end to SD’s perfect stealing rate?
Those caught stealings don’t bother me much. It was only 1st with 2 outs. Now you have 2,3,4 leading off next inning.
The hit and run could have been on and Crabbe may have n ot been able to connect.
#66@Pat:
That’s what I get for sitting on my post for five minutes.
#67@SDSUBaseball: It’s a little hard for an Oompa-Loompa to take anyone by surprise. But at least we have 2-3-4 coming to bat next.
#66@Pat: I am with you here…I still think players don’t run enough with 1. 2-outs 2. The top of the order up or coming up.
Dang Adrian ripped that thing, you dont normally see Tex miss balls either.
Gameday made it look like Adrian just missed a homer on that one.
Wow, Carlyle tags Kouz, but Kouz nailed him. Another pitcher leaving the game…
sucks we’re wasting this tear A-Gone is on.
Says injury delay on Gameday – Carlyle or Kouz?
#76@SDSUBaseball: That explains it
Well at least Adrian is on 3rd which means he will score on a hit. Ya never know if he will make it from 2nd haha.
If this keeps up, maybe the Pads will find a pitcher they can hit.
way to come through scotty!
Well the run scores… I dunno if that is an error or not. Hairston may have been able to run it out. I like how Hairston watches a first pitch BP fastball, but then swings at one out of the zone on the second pitch.
Way to go Greenie!
NICE! Greeney double in a run. Ripped down the 3rd base line. Hairston scores from first, he has the kind of speed this team needs.
#83@SDSUBaseball: I’ll take what I can get…
Keep ‘em coming.
Maybe this is the pitcher the Padres can hit.
Can the Padres play day games on the road from now on? I think they are 4-1 in those.
Now, it’s time for Ledezma to shut down the top of the Braves line-up (and Campillo – I assume the Braves do not burn another pitcher with a pinchhitter here.)
Shawn F*$%&&#^ Estes. After only 63 pitches!!!!
Estes? This might be interesting.
#91@Kelly in SD: I think Ledezma could had gone one more too. Especially since I think his spot was coming up to bat next inning and he hadnt given up an earned run yet. i guess if they want him to be a fixture in the rotation they may have had him on a pitch count.
Can anyone explain the rationale for pulling Ledezma? He’s due up next inning, plus let him get through 5.
So Black uses the really quick hook today after going too long last night. Was Ledezman doing something wrong?
There’s a balance somewhere in there.
#91@Kelly in SD: Apparently Estes can opt out of his contract if he wasnt on the big club by May 15th or something.. I might be wrong though.
#94@Richard D.: Maybe it is his first start…maybe his arm is not “stretched out” yet…maybe they want to get Estes an inning and this was a favorable matuch-up for him.
#97@Coronado Mike: I’d like to think it wasn’t just to get Estes work, and keep Ledezma from getting a shot at a “W”.
Plus, hasn’t Ledezma thrown 80+ pitches in long relief outings this year?
Ugh.
If I remember the 22 inning game correctly, Ledezma through at least that many and still had something left.
I just looked at the schedule and the Pads don’t have a day off until Memorial Day.
First, how do you not play on Memorial Day?
Second, the Pads go from ATL to SD for three to CHI for 4 to SEA for 3 to SD for 7 before a day off. Great Union work guys.
That is crazy travel.
