While You Were Drinking: Game 129 (SD vs CHC)

Sometimes things get a little fuzzy after a night in the pub. Here’s a friendly reminder of what you might have missed while you were drinking. After coming back from Edinson Volquez‘ (hopefully) last appearance as a Friar Friday night, the Padres and Eric Stults came ever so close to beating Jeff Samardzija and the Cubs Saturday night. But — as the saying goes — close is only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, as the Padres lost 3-2. The season series with the Cubs ends today at 1:10pm PDT with Andrew Cashner dressing the deer against Chris Rusin. Recaps Stults solid, but Samardzija limits Padres – AJ Cassavell (MLB.com) Forsythe error costly in loss to Cubs - Bill Center (UT San Diego) Quote  ”Stultsy did his part. Samardzija was just a little bit better.” Bud Black on Eric Stults night. (Fox Sports San Diego)   “Venable has a lot of momentum, a lot of confidence. He’s swinging great. When they make mistakes, he’s swinging, he’s not taking them. And he’s squaring them up.”
