Today is Casey's second start since being called up and we can only hope he is as dominant today as he was in his first start. Meanwhile, I can only hope his brother isn't there distracting the camera men and myself from watching the game. Chase hits a two run shot in the first to give Casey a lead to work with. What a good teammate. To start the third, Logan gets hit by the pitch and I bet Quentin is glad that wasn't him. Logan retaliates that HBP with a stolen base and makes me think he's laughing about it in his head like I would be. Chase drives in Logan on a single to make it 3-0 Padres.
Boo, the Rockies got a run around and then Alexi has a shitty wild throw that luckily didn't cost us anything. Gonzalez hits a ground rule double and this is one of those moments when I love ground rule doubles. Instead of the Rockies putting their second run on the board, the runners were held at second and third. Unfortunately the next batter doubles in the runners and now we are tied at three. Poor Casey. God dammit, Casey!! He just gave up a two run home run and now the stupid ass Rockies are winning 5-3. UGH!! HOLY SHIT, CASEY, STOP THAT!! An error by Alexi ended up costing us two more runs as Casey gave up yet another two run home run. The bright side, it's only the third inning. The dark side, it's only the thing inning.
The Padres are beginning to chip away the lead in the fourth on a Deno single to score Cam and move up Alexi as Deno took second on the throw home. If any of that made sense to you. Pretty sure I worded that extremely awkwardly but it makes perfect sense to me. Chase is an RBI machine driving in his fourth and fifth runs to make it a 7-6 game. Come on, boys, we got this!! Chase's amazeballness forces the Rockies to make a pitching change and it's only the fourth inning.
In the sixth inning Casey tries bunting Alexi over, unfortunately he bunted it in the air and Nelson made a nice sliding catch to get the first out of the inning. Yes, Logan drives in Alexi to tie the game and takes second on the throw home. Me gusta!! Logan comes around to score on another Chase single. Make that six RBI for Chase and an 8-7 lead for the Padres. Alexi drives in Grandal in the seventh to make it a 9-7 game.
Gross, Brach gives up a three run home run to give the Rockies the 10-9 lead in the seventh. And to think I thought I might be able to spend some time in the pool today, silly me. Welp, Brach walks the first runner, then a wild throw trying to pick him off puts the runner on third. I do not like this guy. We should not be losing to the Rockies. That run comes around to score on a base hit and now it's 11-9 Rockies in the eighth. PS. Totally like that the Rockies played S&M in the background because you know that's totally a kid friendly song. Finally, Black pulls Brach but he put in Thatcher. I don't much like Thatcher but he needs to do work and get us out of this inning without any more damage being done. Thatcher got us out of the inning without causing anymore damage. Cam comes around to score in the top half of the ninth of an Alexi single to put us down by one now. Please comeback, Padres, please. Unfortunately we didn't have enough left in us to make a complete comeback as we lose 11-10 on 20 hits. Waaaaaaaah!!
Record: 62-73
Casey Kelly sucks !
