WILL VENABLE RUMORS & GOSSIP

One of Baseball’s Wacky Rules

I saw the Mets play the Padres on Friday, and something strange happened. I’d always thought a run that scored on an inning-ending play only counted if the third out had been made on a tag. A force out means no run, right? Wrong. Get this: in the first inning, Dillon Gee walked the first batter, Will Venable, and got the next one out on a pop-up before giving up a single to...

Daily Friar 5.24.12

The problem with the Padres playing on the East Coast is the early start times. Usually I'm out doing something around 4 or even earlier, and I often miss most of the games. This last series with St. Louis was no exception. But after reading all the recaps for all the games I realized that I really didn't miss a whole lot. I did see most of the first game, which was the best...

During last night's Padres/Rockies game, San Diego's Will Venable fouled off a pitch that reach the third base side of the stands at PetCo Park.

Like Reed Richards Before Me, I Will Travel To...The Negative Zone.

Since my sickening optimism has wielded me nothing but heartache, I shall go opposite of my cheery self and venture into the other side. Burdened by the realities and stresses of every day life, all I wanted was a nice three hour break. And my Padres, who I adore immensely, could give that to me, right?? Wrong! I ended up listening to the Smiths for the first time in a while and...

Venable has two hits, two RBIs for the Padres

Padres' Venable takes issue with Darvish

Not everyone was enamored with Yu Darvish's debut on Wednesday. Especially one of the two men to get a hit off the Japanese phenom during his first start of spring training, San Diego Padres outfielder Will Venable. During the post-game press conference, Darvish said that he thought the conditions aided the two hits that he gave up in two innings. "With the dry air in...

Padres’ Will Venable Doesn’t Like Yu Darvish Being Yu Darvish

San Diego Padres outfielder Will Venable being the first hitter faced by $100 million Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish isn’t exactly the kind of confrontation you’ll be telling your grandkids about. Or even your coworkers. But that doesn’t mean Venable and Darvish can’t turn this into the kind of feud only baseball players could get into. The headline of...

Padres' Venable takes issue with Rangers' Yu Darvish

Not everyone is a fan of Texas Rangers newcomer Yu Darvish. After giving up a leadoff double in the second inning to San Diego Padres outfielder Will Venable on Wednesday, Darvish dismissed the hit as being wind-aided. "With the dry air in Arizona and the wind blowing out, it carried the ball," Darvish said through an interpreter. "It didn't seem like a ball...
