Game 69 Thread: June 11 @ Padres, 1p

Ben Casparius (4-1, 2.93) vs. Randy Vasquez (3-4, 3.69).

We shouldn't be reading too much into this first series with the Padres, right? I mean, the fact that we're doing two bullpen games in the three matches shouldn't concern us about getting absolutely shellacked last night 11-1? And we still have a chance to win the series with a victory this afternoon, even though we're starting Ben Casparius, for only the second time this season?

Casparius has been great this season (0.7 WAR; 133 ERA+), but...do we really have a shot here?

(cries)

Muncy works a two-out walk for our first baserunner (T2)

Steve Sax said...

Pages with a GUN to get the out at home!

Great throw by Andy and great tag by Slappy.

Steve Sax said...

Casparius walks in a run, but it could have been a lot worse. 1-0 SD through 2

Steve Sax said...

HSK plunked to start the third. Boooooo

Steve Sax said...

And even though HSK reaches with none out, Ohtani / Betts / Freeman are feeble.

1-0 SD, mid-3

Steve Sax said...

On the pre-game show, Nomar said he thought Conforto was going to break out today, and AGon said Teo was going to break out today.

THEY WERE BOTH RIGHT!!!

im pretty sure Freeman's ankle is going to explode before the season ends perhaps soon. dude doesn't look right in anything he does on the field

Steve Sax said...

Excellent AB by Slappy there. 0-2 count back to full, then he pokes a single to right to lead off the eighth.
