Padres @ Dodgers In-Game Thread

[maruiz85]

Really? I'm loving it. How many 5 tool players do the Pads have? At least Milton strikes some fear in opposing pitchers and was awesome in the playoffs last yr. Cruz will strengthen the bench. The whole lineup will be deeper top to bottom with Milton in there. Greene is a pretty good #7 hitter, and Kouz not bad for a #8.

i know the ability is there...but i just remember when he was a dodger...the umpire incident..the fan incident...the way he'd watch a ball when he'd crush one...the way he came into petco park...caught a fly ball and shushed the crowd...

whormoan...check his stats....he has never hit 20 hr in a season or even at least gotten 70 rbi...i don't think he'll strike fear in anyone...sure he's capable of going on a run....i remember he was a pretty good fielder...he's not the answer though

He's not Ken Griffey Jr, Ichiro, or Tori Hunter, but the Padres were never going to get any of those big guns for what they would cost. Bradley cost us nothing. The Padres have too many guys that are lackadaisical and he will bring some spunk. Hoffman, Maddux, Wells, Cameron, etc... will keep him in check. He's better than Jose Cruz and Branyon so he upgrades the starting lineup and the bench

i got you...you do make some good points....though i do believe they might have a shot at griffey...i'd be willing to give up linebrink..and put bell in there in his spot

does MB strike out a lot? huge problem for the friars

They have NO SHOT at Griffey. It would take more than Linebrink (whose stock has dropped). Maybe Linebrink, Hensley, and a top prospect. Will never happen. The Padres actually had Griffey for a second until Phil Nevin used his no-trade clause and vetoed the deal.

Bradley has always had problems getting along with people, but at least in Cameron he has "anotha brotha" on the team who he will respect. Plus, he switch hits and can steal bases. AND he hates the Dodgers

This game was nothing short of a gift tonight. Go ahead and let the dodgers steal 50 bases. It wont matter.

Chop, don't start choppin yet. Lots of baseball left. Looks like a very solid call though

dodgers still has a chance...lead off double in the bottom of 9th

 

[Rev_Al]

Regardless...Dodgers houldve won this game

 

[whormoan]

Wheeeeeew! Was startin to get ugly. In Trevor we Trust!

"why is that??"

Dodgers had 2 innings w/ runners on 1st & 3rd...w/ one out...and didnt score...costly fielding errors...and Grady left Kuo in way too long in the Padres' big inning.

 

[TheWolf]

All goes back to my man man Grady Little who allowed Ha Kuo to stay in the damn game after he gave up 5 consecutive hits including a 3-run blast.....The Pads went on to add 2 more that inning (diff in game) when Grady couldve stopped the bleeding and gave his team a shot only down 3 instead of 5.....yet another jackoff manager move.

Why does MLB keep recycling these stiffs and not adding any new blood ever? Give me a few 30-year old managers!!!!
