Wednesday Links (20 Jul 11)

In honor of his latest opus, we’ll kick off today’s links with a look at Padres ace Tim Stauffer, work our way through a long-forgotten pitcher from the turn of last century, and finish up with a brilliant quote from one of the Padres’ reserve infielders. Good times…

Another Day, Another Anthony

by Geoff Young on Jun 13, 2011 (12) Comments

The Padres have recalled right-hander Anthony Bass from Triple-A Tuscon to make Monday night’s start at Coors Field, a fine place for a pitcher to make his big-league debut. Bass takes Aaron Harang’s spot on the roster (DL, right foot) and is starting in place of Dustin Moseley, whose status remains uncertain after he dislocated [...]

Someday I will figure out a way to deliver these in a more timely manner, but not today…

Friday Links (22 Oct 10)

I dreamed of Jeff Reardon. We were discussing the nature of regret. I was walking through a park with a girl I once knew. We held hands as we walked and then kissed. I woke up and made coffee, only I wasn’t awake and I wasn’t making coffee. Dreams are confusing. Let’s just do links [...]

Now with a 110% snappier introduction, it’s links… Why The San Diego Padres Should Trade Heath Bell (Friar Forecast). Daniel advocates trading Bell for… well, I don’t know. It’s hard for me to make sense of this type of analysis in a vacuum. I need more context. Who are Bell’s potential suitors? What types of [...]

Trent Rosecrans chats with James about the relative merits of Barry Larkin and Tony Gwynn, among many other things. James responds to the question of whether we understand baseball any more now [...]

Writing the Book (15 Dec 08)

by Geoff Young on Dec 15, 2008 (4) Comments

I’m pressed for time this morning, so we’ll be quick. Work and various other commitments kept me from writing at all during the week, so it was another 20-hour weekend. Really, with enough coffee, almost anything is possible. Oh, and I’m sporting a sweet mullet these days. Think of a cross between Barry Gibb and [...]

Writing the Book (27 Oct 08)

I had two revelations this past week: Working full time and doing physical therapy (I’m re-learning how to walk, which apparently is a skill one is supposed to have mastered by age 40) is exhausting. It’s not realistic to assume that I’ll be able to make significant progress on the book during the week. That’s [...]

Writing the Book (20 Oct 08)

by Geoff Young on Oct 20, 2008 (11) Comments

Life happened this week; the book, not so much. I did make up some ground over the weekend — put in about 10 hours on Saturday and another 4-5 on Sunday. It’s not as much as I’d have liked, but it’s better than nothing. In addition to the actual writing, I’m playing a lot with [...]

It Could Be Worse; Just Ask the Mariners

by Geoff Young on Sep 25, 2008 (5) Comments

Bullet points this morning: I’ve got a new piece up at Baseball Digest Daily that talks about the challenges facing the Seattle Mariners this off-season. Here in San Diego, the Padres have their work cut out for them as they attempt to rebuild, but there’s something to be said for not owing Jarrod Washburn, Miguel [...]
