Padres Farm Report (25 May 08)

Wil Ledezma is frustrating to watch. He pumps mid-90s fastballs but appears to have very little aptitude for pitching… Triple-A — Salt Lake 5, Portland 4 Matt Antonelli: 0-for-3, BB (.182/.325/.302, 32 BB, 29 SO) Peter Ciofrone (RF): 3-for-4, HR (.298/.397/.554, 16 BB, 17 SO) Chase Headley: 1-for-4, 3B (.291/.351/.508, 17 BB, 50 SO) Brian [...]

Padres (18-32) vs Reds (22-27) Wil Ledezma vs Bronson Arroyo 7:05 p.m. PT Channel 4SD AM 1090, FM 105.7, XM 183 MLB, B-R One thing I find interesting about this season is how the local media has chosen to portray the Padres when things haven’t gone well. There’s almost an “I told you so” glee [...]

The Shape of Things to Come

Top of the ninth, two on, one out. Adrian Gonzalez steps to the plate. Braves manager Bobby Cox summons ex-Padre Royce Ring, who promptly hangs a breaking ball. Gonzalez swats it high and deep down the right-field line. He, catcher Brian McCann, and plate umpire Wally Bell all watch as it sails into the Atlanta [...]

Frame by Frame

One aspect of the Padres we examined in the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual was their run differential by inning in 2007. Among other things, we learned that the Padres completely dominated the ninth inning of games last year, outscoring their opponents, 81-44. Not including extra frames, the Pads had negative run differentials in just two [...]

Monkeys on Roller Skates

Thanks to reader Lance for hooking us up with seats two rows behind the visitors dugout on Wednesday night. First time I’ve been anywhere near that close at Petco Park, and it’s a whole different experience. For a guy like me who lives in nosebleed, just, wow. Also, belated welcome to all the folks at [...]

Yeah, the game went another 14 innings after Peavy departed, but he was [...]
