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

Found August 25, 2013 on Padres Public:
PLAYERS: Edinson Volquez,  Eric Stults,  Jeff Samardzija,  Andrew Cashner,  Chris Rusin,  Bud Black,  Will Venable,  Harry Caray,  Brian Bogusevic
TEAMS: San Diego Padres,  Chicago Cubs
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.”

Padres Designate Volquez, Recall Brach

Via Friarhood  |  August 24, 2013
After arguably the worst start of his career, the San Diego Padres have cried “uncle” and designated starting pitcher Edinson Volquez for assignment. Volquez, 30, was acquired in a multi-player deal after the regular season in 2011 and has appeared in 59 games for the Padres between 2012 and 2013. All 59 games were ones he had started.

The Padres designated Edinson Volquez for assignment which means he’s more than likely done with the franchise. The team now has 10 days to release him.

Via Friarhood  |  August 24, 2013
Last night did not start off well for the Padres. As Ron Burgundy would’ve put it, “that escalated quickly.

Daily Friar 8.25.13

Via Friarhood  |  August 25, 2013
About the only good thing that the Cubs have going for them right now is some core young guys that should make them better in the future. The same could be said about the Padres as well. The Padres ran into one of those guys last night in the form of Jeff Samardzija. He was able to limit the Padres only to two runs through eight innings.

Via Friarhood  |  August 26, 2013
I have a question for all of you, the loyal congregation. “Were you not entertained?” Wow what a week end by our Padres.

Padres-Diamondbacks Preview

Via Fox Sports  |  August 26, 2013
