San Diego Padres at St. Louis Cardinals, Jul 20, 2008 2:15 PM EDT
 |
 |
| baek | garcia |
| 2-5, 5.25 | 0-0, 0.00 |
the padres acquired baek from seattle earlier this year. he's got extremely good control but not a whole lot else going for him. you'd anticipate a slugfest, based on who the two starting pitchers are . . . . . but how often have our anticipations proven out this year? the final score will probably be 2-1.

if it's 2-1 cardinals
then i don’t care.

If we won 2-1 then I'd be fine with it and happy Garcia did well
but if we lost 2-1, i’d be ticked. Pujols or no Pujols, this lineup can score more than 1 run agains Baek and the Pads.

yeah i'd be pissed as well
espcially considering TLR can use AP in any situation he wants today.

With you, bro
I’m really excited about Jaime Garcia starting. He went to high school at Sharyland in Mission, Texas. Looks like he’s filled out quite a bit, or maybe he spent extra time in the weight room after hurting the elbow in 2007.
Hasta la vista, vaqueros

Gotta dump the free extra innings feed for mlb.tv
I simply can’t listen to Matt Vasgersian (unless he’s accompanied by Mark Grace) especially since it’s obvious this is broadcast in HD but the non-hd cable feed cuts off parts of the screen, that shouldn’t be cut off.
by Tackle Box on Jul 20, 2008 2:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
he's terrible
but isn’t Ricky Horton the alternative?
my computer screen is like 15” and my TV is 28” and includes a couch, so unfortunately the TV wins out today.

Honesly
the HD Channel 5 feed on mlb.tv (on only 800k) is better quality than whatever they’re trying to do with the feed on Extra innings. And, yeah, I’d rather listen to Ricky Horton and whoever is in the booth.
Never been a fan of Vasgersian.

Vasgersian
I remember intensely disliking the guy, and I thought I was going to hate him watching on Fox yesterday, but he actually was OK. Mark Grace is a pretty entertaining color guy…..he had a funny story about pulling off a successful hidden ball trick against Mike Scoscia, who then swore at him the entire time Grace was up to bat the next time…..

I just remember Vasgersian
from those 989 Sports video game commercials where he would host a fake “Sportscenter”. never knew he was a real broadcaster until the last couple of years.
they sort of fixed the blown-up HD screen problem after the first few minutes. I can see why Extra Innings almost never uses their feed.

It's nice to see it in HD...
I was wondering what the issue was…
I’ve got Claiborne and Moonman on the radio, with the San Diego TV feed on mute. The XM audio feed lags the video by about 10 seconds, but it’s an acceptable solution to hear Shannon call the game.

Phenom?
The mlb.com homepage has scrolling storylines and refers to Garcia as the “Cardinals Phenom.”
Anyone out there agree with that assessment? Maybe we did last year, but that seems like an overstatement at this point.
Anyway, I’ll throw my prediction in like so many have already done:
Garcia: 6 innings, 3 walks, 5 Ks, 5 hits, 2 ER

Why are they starting him today?
Am I wrong in saying that he’s only had 1 outing (closing)?
Seems like a pretty high pressure situation for a new guy. Maybe relief would have been better? At, least less risky.

Seems that with a new guy
it makes sense to try them out at relief, and when we have a lead. Then, when they prove themselves, they can have a start. I thought that’s what they were doing with Garcia, when they brought him in the other day to close.

Maybe that’s why he’s had the reverse split in Memphis this year, because usually a LHP throws sliders to lefties and curves to righties
