Vicente Padilla Involved In "Incident" Last Night in Denver

PrintVicente Padilla was involved in an "incident" last night in Denver. Per CBS Channel 4 in Denver:
Denver Police are investigating allegations against Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher Vicente Padilla. Officers were called to the Ritz Carlton Hotel in downtown Denver early Saturday morning.
Police will only say they were called to 1881 Curtis St. at 3:51 a.m. Saturday in regards to allegations against Padilla. Officers will not confirm what those allegations are or who made them.
Police hope to have more details as they continue their investigation. A news conference is planned for 4 p.m. Saturday for a briefing on those allegations.
The Associated Press reported that Padilla was not arrested.
Padilla was scheduled to throw a simulated game today at Coors Field, as he battles back from his irritated radial nerve in his right arm. Last night Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reported this:
Padilla, on the disabled list since April 23, has been throwing regular bullpen sessions, however he has felt some minor sensation lower in the arm that club medics believe is from therapy and not part of the original injury. He only began throwing breaking balls off a mound earlier this week.
If the simulated game goes well, Padilla might next try a Minor League rehab assignment. He'll probably need to make three starts in the Minors before he's ready to return to the Dodgers rotation.
The news conference by the Denver police department is scheduled for 3pm Pacific time.
Thanks to Andrew "Poseidon's Fist" Fisher of Purple Row for the heads up.
UPDATE: After an investigation, the Denver police found no evidence to support allegations that a crime occurred, and no charges were filed against Padilla. Padilla's attorney, David Lane, said the original call came from a female, "a friend of Padilla," saying that Padilla slapped her. However, Lane said the woman later changed her story, and there was no evidence of her being slapped. Padilla and the woman, who flew in from out of state, were at a club last night, and the woman was jealous of attention received by Padilla from other women, said Lane.

dont get it
There was an “incident” worth having a press conference for, but not an arrest?

Yeah
If I had to guess, this incident is more likely to be of a sexual nature than any other kind.
\pure guess

At least its on the road
Meaning Padilla likely wouldn’t have a hand gun or an automobile, so it keeps him out from repeating 2 of his prior offenses.
This screams bar fight.
As Eric pointed out earlier
the address the police were called to was the Ritz Carlton

I'm sure it does

Did LA already break off and float into the Pacific?
The press conference is at 4 MDT, 3PDT.

D’oh!
I am just used to Los Angeles being 2 ahead of Colorado :)

Somehow, this Vicente Padilla incident in Colorado will end with Vanessa Bryant getting another $4 million ring
We’re averaging one alcohol related incident per season.
Prediction: 2011, Chin Lung Hu found naked in bathtub in stripper’s apartment with a top hat on.
I am blanking on the 2007/2008 incidents. I remember Belisario’s DUI last year, and Beimel’s bar fight in 2006

That is the most fantastic mental image ever.
Bravo.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
I only heard about it on radio
Did the ball bounce far off his head?
by Eric Stephen on May 29, 2010 12:09 PM PDT up reply actions
I meant the ball
that’s what’s important. If the ball just stopped after hitting him, it’s far worse than if it it caromed far off his head.

Saw the clip on my phone
and while I don’t see the ball itself — too small/grainy on the phone — I saw where it was fielded, a ways down the right field line, a ways down but not THAT far.
It’s hard to tell what that means. Huff was clearly in a lot of pain.
Between this, and Jakubauskas, and Kuroda, and whomever you like, may I ask, why don’t pitchers and infielders wear helmets?

Chief of Police
“The moment our men arrived at the Ritz Carlton hotel, Mr. Padilla was relieving himself outside the walls of the hotel, laughing hysterically…”
I know it cant be 100% sure...but has the Super 2 deadline passed?
Can we expect to see Strasburg soon?
Also, Arnoldis Chapman? Reds are doing fine without him but I’d have to expect he’ll be in the bigs soon too.
I assume that the Giants were keeping Posey in the minors until they were confident he couldnt attain Super 2 status.
Posey
Would have to stay down a few more weeks since he was called up last September.
by bhsportsguy on May 29, 2010 12:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Posey
if he stays up, he will blow past Super 2 status. He already has 33 days service time, and beginning today there are 128 days left in the season.

Giants sign Burrell to minor league deal.
I hope he makes the team. He can’t play any more but will help make their defense even more atrocious.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
what is it with Colorado and LA players?

This is going to be a crazy Saturday afternoon
Game 6 of the WCF, Game 1 of the SC, and Game 2 of the Dodgers Rockies Series all start within minutes of each other
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
I guess I should be relieved my sharks aren't in the Stanley Cup Finals
or it’d be too much stress to bear. Lakers game alone will be stressful enough for me!

haha good point
although it is more far-fetched that the Kings could have been there, I think I would have had a system overload

$16,000 Strasburg card
I wonder if the winner will pick this up in person? I mean, how could you possibly trust ANY mail carrier with this kind of transaction??
You can fly to Virginia to get it with me if you want

I am sure this is no big deal. Somebody at the ritz probably thought night stalker broke out of prison. Just a misunderstanding.

Hahaha

Dodgers lineup
Furcal SS
Anderson RF
Ramirez LF
Kemp CF
Loney 1B
Blake 3B
DeWitt 2B
Ellis C
Kuroda P
My guess is Kemp will get a day off after Ethier is back
Then they can have Ethier’s back in the lineup and spot Kemp with Reed J as you say. But yeah, dude’s been an Iron Bison!

bat back, that should read

Meanwhile, Russell Martin Sits! should be the headline...

Manny and GA in this outfield is scary. Lots of groundballs please.

Seriously. Kemp needs to wear roller skates

Cleveland is trying to win it for Huff
Indians score 7 in the 7th as Yankee pitching collapses. Cleveland 12, Yankees 10, at the stretch.

In other news...
The Rockies have DFA’ed LoDuca.
Fight the power! Votes for Ethier, none for Phillies.
by Little Blue Bicycle on May 29, 2010 1:48 PM PDT reply actions
Now that Chris Nelson is back from injury
We don’t need LoDuca to play second base anymore
