Around SBN: Holy War Week Brings out the Worst in Fans

Game 49 Open Thread- 21st May, 2008

Looperpic_medium  Young_chris_medium

Braden Looper            Chris Young 
5-3, 4.25                       4-3, 4.18

Boy, that Chris Young for Adam Eaton deal looks awfully good for the Padres now, doesn't it? Since the trade, Young has become one of the best young pitchers in the game, though he has had some issues with staying healthy, while Eaton only played one year in Texas, (and was hurt for most of it, I believe) before joining the Phillies.

Tonight should show us a lot about whether or not this team has truly pulled out of its recent nosedive. They lost a tough one last night; the series is in question. The April Cardinals would come out, score two runs in the first inning, and ride onward to victory. The mid-May Cards, on the other hand, would strand about 13 runners and let the game get away in the eighth. I'll be interested to see which team shows up tonight.

Maybe switch Ryan and Miles

Although Ryan isn’t doing so hot to start the season.

I like that we’ve had the same 3-4-5 for several games in a row now…

worse than that...

... Young was trade to SD along with Adrian Gonzalez and Termel Sledge for Eaton, Otsuka, and a minor leaguer who hasn’t broke in yet. Otsuka was good for a year before breaking down. Gonzalez has OPS+d 127, 125, 124 since coming over. Sledge was a servicable 5th OF for two years. and Young has been (mostly) great. Kevin Towers is criminally underrated.

Young was actually drafted by the Pirates before being traded for Matt Herges. the hits just keep on coming for Bucs fans. after that, he was traded for Einar Diaz. ouch.

Texas

has a way of both developing and trading away young arms…and overpaying for old hurt ones…I lived in texas and went to many rangers games..very high priced games for crappy teams…Arod was there when i went, Seen Kenny Rogers throw a few gems get no run support and the pen blow it…

Isnt that new stud from cincy part of the hamilton deal?

I loved the story during the last Brewers/Cards series

of how Ned Yost had to get Simba out of backup catcher mode. He would ask him for his advice and Simba would act like he could think it over for a few days and get back to him, like they were just bullshitting about baseball. Yost was like, “Ted, I need an answer now. This is happening now!”

Should have been fired last year after the last Brewers-Cards series. Allowing a first place team to get caught up in that was stupid not to mention argueing with LaRussa then blowing a 13 game lead. He’s horrible

Did they really have a 13-game lead last season?

Said it before, I’ll say it again. He should have been fired when the lineups for their game in Boston came out and Braun was in LF, Fielder was at 1B, and their DH was Tony Gwynn, Jr., hitting 9th.

Am I the only one who watches Chris Young pitch

And wonders why he is so successful? Does he hide the ball well, because none of his pitches look like they have much movement. They just look like straight downward darts into the zone.

by cloistermaximus on May 21, 2008 10:30 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yea, don't get it either

I suppose his height helps, but I’m not sure what else.

by TheBirds on May 21, 2008 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The only thing I can think

Is because he’s so tall, he has really long legs, and thus a long stride. Then his arms are longer, so he releases the ball closer to home plate than an average-sized pitcher. That’s why his 89 mph fastball seems like it comes in a whole lot quicker.

more like college football recruiting.

that’s often delayed gratification too, freshmen rarely make an impact unless they’re superstars or the team is really weak at the position. it’s more about building the program. that’s like baseball.

When I played in high school

I was playing Babe Ruth ball

And there was a play at the plate, and on the relay throw from the SS, the catcher tried to move the tag before he caught the ball, and it hit him in the forehead and went like 30 feet straight up in the air. He was fine IIRC but it got so silent you could hear a pin drop.

The guy who threw it moved out, but he was the biggest kid in our grade. He turned out to be a scholarship tight end for Furman

Young took it like a man

To he just sat up and looked OK enough (yeah, he was messed up but he wasnt rolling around screaming in pain).
he had a bloody cut right in the middle of his forehead and blood all over his clothes…but he was cool and calm and tough. If I was his family that would be way more reassuring that “we cant show whats going on on the mound right now”
that would freak me the hell out

Nothing Pu could do about it

Everyone on here seems to think it was a clean slide from Pu, so that’s what I’m going off of. As far as the baseball game is concerned, it’s good that we’ve got 3 runs. I hate that it happened the way it did, but we did get 3 runs.

I don’t usually watch, so I don’t know the guys’ names, but this one guy kicked the other guy in the temple, and immediately knocked him out. The force of the kick caused him to twist around, and his lower leg broke becuse his foot stayed planted while he twisted. It was disgusting.

nose laceration for chris young

he’ll get stiched up and make his next scheduled start i’m betting.

it wouldn't be til tomorrow

that they’d be able to tell if he was concussed or not, I’d imagine….

that's no fun

I had that happen to my face in a bicycle accident. 15 stiches on my eyesocket. I still have a dent in my bone there

at least it was his nose

not his eye. Hopefully he comes out of this with nothing worse than a fuckered up nose

Young should be okay

Sounds like it just broke his nose. That doesn’t sound permanent.
Glaus adds on.

report from sd announcers is

nasal fracture and laceration, at hospital for further tests

so broken nose and cut

This is a blowout in the making

the Pads have been mentally taken out of this game

we do well

when we score 6 runs +.

We’re rested bullpen wise and lookin’ at a day off.

I’d say we’re ok, though I’d like a 2 digit figure to be safe

they are playing the Dodgers in LA.

he sounds like a used boat salesman.

But isn’t his OPS against lefties this season like .180?

albert protecting two strike count, clocked one right off of Young’s face, lots of blood. took some time, Albert prayed, he left. Albert then took out the catcher on a clean slide a couple bats later

Jim Reynolds was the one who sucked, there.

Santa sure has been solid of late

And that pitch to Duncan was unhittable, perfect pitch
