Padres Farm Report (4 May 08)

Sunday, May 4, 2008

Brian Giles should have one more hit to his credit this season. Not that it affected the outcome, but Alfredo Amezaga absolutely didn't catch Giles' soft liner in the top of the eighth. Also, what a strange game for Paul McAnulty: hit by a pitch, thrown out trying to advance on a popup to third base, lost his glove while chasing down a foul fly ball to left, almost hit in the on-deck circle by a drive off the bat of Josh Bard... Triple-A -- Portland 6, New Orleans 1 Matt Antonelli: 1-for-4 Jody Gerut: 2-for-3, 2B, BB Chase Headley: 0-for-3, BB Brian Myrow: 2-for-4, HR Chip Ambres (CF): 1-for-3, 2B, BB Craig Stansberry (SS): 1-for-3, E Shawn Estes: 7 IP, 4 H, ...

After a slow start, he's playing well. Robles has been seeing most of the action at shortstop because Luis Rodriguez suffered a "right hook of ...

Padres Farm Report (18 Apr 08)

Before we get to the farm report, that was an epic game on Thursday night/Friday morning. Stinks that the Padres came out on the losing end, but how fun is 22 innings? I'm not going to recap it, but if you want some sense of how it played out, read the IGD. Folks delivered big time in the comments. Speaking of comments, we're now supporting avatars. Go sign up at Gravatar if the spirit moves you... Triple-A Portland and Colorado Springs were snowed out, which is just nuts in my book. Wade LeBlanc gets the start Friday. No game? No problem, have some stats: Luis Rodriguez: .500/.561/.611 Brian Myrow: .333/.492/.556 Edgar Gonzalez: .393/.500/.500 Nick Hundley: .324/.361/.618 Chip Ambres: .293/.396/.512 Will Venable: .356/.370/.533 Matt Antonelli: .200/.360/.500 Jody Gerut: ...

Why hasn't the Estes era ended ...
