Padres vs A's Series Thread
#1 · June 18, 2018, 8:35 pm
So the A's come into town for a quick 2 game series....they come into Petco with a even 36-36 record - .500 ball
The Padres come home with a 34-40 record - .459 ball
The A's have Paul Blackburn on the hill Tuesday....24 yr old with a 1-1 record and a 11.05 Era vs Eric Lauer...23 yr old - 3-4 record with a 6.20 Era
This should be interesting, two young guys trying to get it going
Second game is Frankie Montas for the A's...25 yr old with a 3-1 record and a .267 era....27 innings pitched and given up 27 hits
vs Tyson Ross -31 yr old - 5-4 with a 3.51 era....82 innings pitched with 82 Strikeouts
I give it to the Padres to get both of these at home before going back on the road....getting closer to a .500 record and wouldn't that be nice to be there or close to it by the All-Star Break
Go Pads !!!

I heard/read/possibly imagined somewhere that Lucchesi may be slotted into the rotation on Wednesday with everyone else being pushed back. I'm definitely looking forward to his return.

Geeez...Lauer throws a good game and Hand and Cimber choke it away with 2 long HR's
Damn
Okay....1-1 on this little homestand 😉

I know its Luchessi's first game back; however, it is games like yesterday and today that show just how far we still have to go still. Last night, we only got 2 runs of a SP with an ERA north of 11, and today we are getting shut out again. Its coming, its coming, and its close but not quite there yet.

Well that 2 game series pretty much sucked....even the most ardent Padre fan can't sugar coat or spin this one but I'll try.....
Bryan Mitchell was placed on the 10 day DL for a right elbow impingement.....soon to be the 60 day is my guess
