"I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much."

Vizcaino and Marte were pretty much our 10th and 11th relievers last season. Vizcaino pitched 70 innings. Marte pitched 45.1 innings.

I think I might rather have Redding for mop-up duties over this guy. That's scary.

Recap | Box score

Someone said that he was throwing his fastball consistently at 96 MPH. But he obviously doesn't have very good control because he threw one right down the cock to Justin Leone for the 3-run BOMB.

He fell apart worse than Marte after an error by Uribe on a grounder by Brian Giles that would have ended the inning.

Yes, but he still pitched like absolute crap after the error...

Game over. 10-7 Padres. Another good game for Anderson -- double, single, walk, 2 RBI.

LOL, nice comment at your blog about Matt Thornton's outing...

Let's see ex-Sox gas can Jon Adkins give this game back to us.

I hope so but Cooper can't fix a Marte-esque mentality of falling apart on the mound when things go bad. If Thornton has that, Cooper won't be able to help him.

Ozuna played RF in one game last season. He shouldn't be out there though because he doesn't have the arm for it, just like Gload.

Come on... Gload is a better hitter than Borchard but Borchard is a much better defensive outfielder than Gload.
