Is Brett Wallace actually a legitimate option at 3B or are the Padres just that desperate?

Good game thread tonight fellas!

That annoying eterial or whatever his name is isn't here. So that's a win in my book.

In high school we ran the bunt and steal all the time. Stole lots of runs that way.

I agree completely.

 

 

Niewenhuis has been a nice addition to this team.

Yeah it does work in lower levels. I think it would've been a better call with no outs, if it was a call at all.

Butcher Boy is another one that worked pretty well in prep baseball. I remember hearing that is a little frowned upon in pro ball though because of the dangerous position it can put a 3B/1B in.

Braun just not seeing that change up quite right tonight. Dang it. That's twice he's had a chance to plate a run with less than two outs and a runner at third.

[MrTPlush]

8 innings from a starter and he probably could attempt a 9th inning. This is like a perfect game for this staff.
