    If Correa is not going to commit to 2023 now, and there is no reason for him to do so except that he wants to be here, because he knows that Lewis is not in the works for 2023 until later at best, then trade him if someone is crazy enough to give some value for him in pitching. I wouldn't have said that a week ago, but this team is so pitching deprived that it is crazy to think this will change with what the pitching gurus have come up with. 35 mil and he is pretty much not worth half of it for how he has performed. I don't really see how they can "buy" enough to change the fate that awaits because of the pitching. All pitching. Not just the pen.

    Who knows if Bundy could have done better. I would have brought in Duran there. He pitched in the blowout, but not in the squeaker when we had the lead. Go figure.
  3. h2oface
    1 game lead. July 4th we were 10 games over .500. Now 5.

    If only Wes Johnson was still here. Then the batters would get some hits.
  5. h2oface
    1-4 batters ---- 0 / 13 today. 3 walks. Gotta do better.
  6. h2oface
    I'm surprised the official scorer didn't call the error by Garlick a hit, they way they score errors these days.
  7. h2oface
    11 pitches. no problem. Twins gone.
  8. h2oface
    Time for a Buxton bomb!

    The most important stat for a reliever, in my opinion - Inherited Runners Scored. IRS That is what tells you if the reliever is a go to. He can provide relief, not fan the flames. That is the job.

    Bundy says thanks. Pagan says "What? None of my guys scored!"
  11. h2oface
    ... because that is what he told to do by those that know so much.
  12. h2oface
    Padres know why they didn't want him anymore.
  13. h2oface
    How do you spell relief? Not P-a-g-a-n. Could Bundy have done worse?
  14. h2oface
    .....lickin' their chops.
  15. h2oface
    Padres lickin' the chops now. They can't wait to get to Pagan.
  16. h2oface
    78 pitches and Bundy is a pumpkin. Bullpen will surely save him.
  17. h2oface
    Bundy had him stranded at first. Damn. Ya gotta throw it then.
  18. h2oface
    So much for Garlick killing lefties.
  19. h2oface
    Still, if it did....... they got screwed.
  20. h2oface
    Padres got screwed.
  21. h2oface
    WE GOT A CRAWLER!
  22. h2oface
    We can't get a crawler homer back. Seems like we deserve one after the 5 agtainst Ryan.
  23. h2oface
    Miranda had a great game. Great defensive play at third, and two separate trips around the bases that were smart hustle and execution. And his bat PLAYS!
  24. h2oface
    And I entertained that thought, too! And that Baldy could be of the thought that Duran needs regular work to stay sharp, regardless of score, and a low leverage appearance would be good for his confidence and stress after the 32 pitch sketchy outing. (But that would be quite a different tact than leaving Ryan in to be demoralized….). I tried to defend Baldy in my internal dialogue. Duran had just started soft tossing when the score was already 4-1, and it was then immediately 5-1. Check out the replay of the game. He really hadn’t ramped up and committed until it was clear his weapons could be best utilized another day. Duran could have just soft tossed as the score quickly climbed to 6-1 and then 7-1 after a long at bat. Or sat down at 6-1. This is why I found no real defense for the decision. The good news is he looked great and only had to throw 11 sparkling pitches to set the goofy looking Padres down.

    I have never once called for Baldelli to get fired. I can have an opinion about his decisions without calling for his job. So you feel that Baldelli is not managing, but a puppet of his bosses? The decisions made are not his, but Falvey or Levine's? I guess I was giving him more credit and am of the mind that he is the manager and the decisions are his.
