I just introduced myself to Jerry Coleman, longtime Padres broadcaster (and one-time manager). I told him I lived in San Diego for 15 years, and he said, “you moved out of San Diego?” as he put he hand up to my forehead, jokingly taking my temperature. He is a very nice man.
Let the Ivan Dejesus era begin!

After the season is over, the Nationals are going to try to improve their middle infield defense. They would love to get second baseman Orlando Hudson if he becomes a free agent.
Presumebly a year playing with the wrist and putting up similar numbers will ease concerns.
BTW, can you ask what happened with the Abreu situation?
Let me just say, the song “Amazing” by Kanye West is many things, but amazing is not one of those things. One of the most over-produced pieces of crap ever recorded. Britney Spears is spinning in her grave when she hears that track.
I love Kanye West
But yeah, that song (And most of the entire album he last produced) is over-produced.
He's amazing
Top 5-10 hitter ever in my opinion

Pretty good ovation for Kuroda as he was announced.

I'm giving him one from home too.
I am so amazed and happy to see him pitch again this season.
Pretty funny comment by Jimmy Bramlett of LAist:
While in the dugout caught up in a conversation about college football, ESPN baseball broadcaster Joe Morgan (don’t laugh) taped an interview with Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier. I’m not going to spoil the interview or anything, but Ethier credited former Dodger insouciant Jeff Kent with something. I really wasn’t paying attention until I heard the key words Jeff Kent when my ears perked up. But this acknowledgement by Ethier means that Kent actually had a conversation with him! Maybe that should be breaking news on ESPN. Or are they still reporting on Brett Favre’s bowel movements?
Emphasis mine. That made me laugh.
I’m sitting next to a gentleman who is the stat guy for the ESPN2 broadcast. He’s in communication with the truck and the booth, providing info.
His scorebook goes to 15 innings. Pretty impressive.
I've always been interested in the ESPN Statisticians.
Can you give us a little detail about his setup? Laptop? Cell phone? What he spends most of his time doing? etc?
What's up everyone?
You didn’t get in the front row Eric?

OK, it appears stadium gun is about 3 mph slow so far.
First pitch was 87 on the board, but 90 on gameday
Is this on prime sports? Or just espn.

Don’t worry everyone. I brought my grandpa to the game with me today and he is 9-0 in person this year.

Ethan Martin finishes his 1st pro season:
100 IP, 85 hits, 61 BB, 120 K, 3.87 ERA. Only gave up 4 HR.
He needs to cut down on the walks, but otherwise a very strong debut.
Kershaw walked a ton at low-A too.
A pitcher can learn command, Ethan Martin is probably going to see Double-A next year
Bowa was hot as hell about that strike

quite an unusual starting time
i guess so people can watch on the east coast without staying up till 1 AM
Wow. I don't know why, but I find something wrong with that.
Anyway, Eric, has thee been any indication by Josh as to whether or not the organization will continue the blogger press box access next season?
Didn't think there would be anyone yet.
Just wondering if Kuroda is on a short leash tonight.
I hope not
I kind of want to see the Dodgers score

Run expectancy for bases loaded no outs is 2.27852 runs.
Dodgers gave up 2 there, so they were ahead of the curve :)

With ya on that one. Ugh. Hope we’re wrong.

2 of the best players on our team.
Young talent. And the girls like to look at them.
Even longer for those of us with DirectTV.
When the games are on Kcal the TV with DirectTV is about 5 seconds behind the other TVs.
I feel like I am sitting at a Taiwan infomercial tonight.

Mientkiewicz is stretching and holding a bat in the dugout. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him PH for Kuroda to leadoff the 5th.
Should've intentionally walked him when he got to 3 and 0.
Gonzalez is the only guy on the Pads that’s a legitimate offensive threat.
A couple of the Padres’ beat reporters were just talking…apparently the Padres have had two different people this season hit a home run, then get pinch hit for in the same inning!
Chris Burke was one, Kyle Blanks the other. That’s my kind of stat.
Oh wow.
I didn’t know they gave up a first rounder for him. Can’t be worse than what they did with this years first rounder.
You are so close to Morgan.
Maybe 15 feet. Just go do us all a favor.

Where Andre hits a grandslam in the 9th to win it?
Yeah I love those games.
Raider suck! Still a Rams fan. They suck too.

Very quiet in the game chat tonight. Must be a holiday weekend or something.
At least its not a Holliday weekend.
