Blue Moon and Bobbles Makes For a Padres W

Well it looks like Quentin started off the scoring in the second inning with a solo home run. I missed it and how Grandal got on as well. Sorry, I had to inform people about the cuts the Chargers made. Alonso makes the first out of the inning moving Grandal to third and hopefully we can bring him around with these two outs we still have. HA HA HA HA HA the Rockies bobble and Grandal comes around to score making it a 2-0 lead. Not only did we score but Logan ends up being safe at first. Thank you bad Rockies fielding. During Cam's at bat, the Rockies third baseman made up for their SS's bobble, stealing Cam of a possible double. Fortunately we managed to keep out of the double play there. Thanks Cam's speed.

Will triples with one out in the third to hopefully kick off the scoring this inning. Chase drives in Will on a sacrifice and now we are winning 3-0 with Quentin up. They walk Quentin and now it's on Yasmani to continue this inning. Sadly, the inning ended and what's even more sad, the first runner in the third for the Rockies got on, on yet another bad hop. What's going on in Colorado right now?? So many bad hops and it's only the third. The ball gets away from Yasmani and the Rockies sole base runner is now on third with one out. Dear Clayton, this would be the perfect time to strike someone out. Clayton didn't listen to me, he got an out but the run also scored and now it's a 3-1 game. I don't trust any lead in Colorado so I don't appreciate this whole letting the Rockies score thing.

With two outs and two on in the fourth the Rockies call for a pitching change. Do they really think we are that dangerous or that their pitcher sucks so much that he can't even get through the fourth inning?? Apparently so. We did a bunch of nothing with that two on two outs thing. Clayton takes a ball off his knee in the fourth and Enberg questions whether or not he's okay. Did he forget that Clayton used to play football?? Pretty sure a ball bouncing off his leg hurts a lot less than being sacked. Yasmani had one of the most perfect throws to second I think I have ever seen in my life. I honestly don't think that could have been any better.

Quentin with a ground rule double to make it 4-1 Padres in the fifth. Pretty sure this was one of those moments when I like the ground rule double. I have my moments with them and I feel bipolar when it comes to that. One pitch into the bottom of the sixth, the Rockies jack a home run to cut our lead in half, 4-2. Aaaaand another Rockies home run makes it 4-3 Padres. Okay, I'm really getting worried now. After the scary inning Clayton had in the sixth, scary to me, why on Gods green earth would we send him out again for the seventh?! You let him pitch to two batters and then pull him. Seriously?! I would have been more content starting the inning with a new pitcher.

In the top of the eighth, Cam shows off his baseball intelligence and takes second on a bobble that should have had him at first. After the bobbled play, the Rockies promptly walked Guzman then struck out Everth for the second out of the inning. With runners on first and second the Padres pinch hit Deno and the only thing he needs to do is make sure the ball drops in between fielders so that Cam can utilize his speed and give us back some of those runs. Cam trying to steal third turns into a hit and run and the Rockies SS had no play once the ball got to him, allowing Cam to score to make it 5-3 Padres in eight.

Ugh, as I start to think that this game will be over with only three batters, Luke gives up the Rockies third solo shot of the game and they pull within one. Please don't let the Rockies score anymore. PLEASE. Awww BULLSHIT!! Alonso tagged the runner before he touched first!! Cabrera's throw was high and did pull Alonso off the bag BUT he did in fact tag the runner before the runners foot hit the bag. What a fucking rip off!! Lets get a double play and end this inning, boys!! Alexi covered a shit ton of ground to get the second out of the inning which should have been the final out but the ump is an ignoramus. Please, please, please strike this batter out, Luke, please!! The Padres win this one 5-4 and have won 10 of their last 11 games. If only we played like this all season.

Record: 62-71
